COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Sept. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timberline Resources Corporation (NYSE Amex:TLR) ("Timberline") announced today that it has posted the required reclamation bond and site development has begun at its Butte Highlands Gold Project, located 15 miles south of Butte, Montana. The company anticipates that the initial site facilities and portal will be in place and it will be advancing underground by late October or early November. A ground breaking ceremony is tentatively scheduled for November 1, 2009. Timberline's Vice President of Exploration, Paul Dircksen, commented, "We are very pleased with the progress at our Butte Highlands Gold Project over the past few weeks. Upon securing the permit and posting the bond, our joint venture company began site work immediately and is making good progress. The Butte Highlands project demonstrates the unique abilities of the Timberline and Small Mine Development (SMD) teams to evaluate the geologic viability along with the mining feasibility of underground mining projects. We have identified other similar sized underground projects that this partnership is uniquely qualified to take advantage of, and we will pursue those that have the potential to provide cash flow and enhance shareholder value."
