Developing Bellechasse-­Timmins Gold Deposit

New Discovery Resulting in a 20KM Mineralized Gold Belt

Message: Potential

Until the drill cranks out assays with proven gold in the core this actually is not even an orebody. This is not to say I'm not a believer in what appears to be a substantial find and what appears to be years of progressive work managing this type of project. However, as of now that is all it is. A potential orebody.

Andrew,

what are you talking about ?

We have positive diamond drill results from 2007 and 2008 drilling, with ´proven gold in the core´(as you mentioned).

So, I would suggest, to have a look at the latest presentation and older NR´s (I copied the one with the results of the 2008 drill program for you, dated Jan 29, 2009) AND we have very positive bulk sampling results which confirm ´gold in the ground´!

Toronto, ON – January 29, 2009: GOLDEN HOPE MINES LIMITED. (GNH: TSXV; GOLHF PK): Golden Hope Mines Limited is pleased to announce results of the 2008 diamond drill program on the Timmins gold deposit.

Result highlights include:

8 meters 3.48 g/t Au average

4 meters of 3.42 g/t Au average

4 meters of 2.317 g/t Au average

2 meter of 2.26 g/t Au average

Hole BD 2008-92, the deepest hole drilled into the Timmins 2 zone, in addition to 4.35g/t in a six meter core section beginning at 130m returned 1.36 g/t Au over one meter of core at 300m demonstrating that mineralization is open at depth. More complete results are published in the table below as well as on our website. Cross sections of the Timmins 2 mineralized zones are also posted on our website.

The 2008 program allowed our technical team to better define the geology and structure of the Timmins gold deposit adjacent to previous positive drill results obtained during the 2007 diamond drilling program.

We now have two mineralized intrusives: Timmins 1 which is the historical deposit found in 1952 and Timmins II which was uncovered by GNH in 2007 and partially defined by diamond drilling in 2008.

Both mineralized intrusives contain horizontal (flats) and vertical to steeply dipping auriferous quartz veins. Gold is present in small clusters of nuggets. Both in T1 and T2, the vertical to steeply veins, are traceable over significant distances (metres) and returned higher assay results. In the 2008

drill program, a vein system dipping southeast at approximately 70 degrees has been traced down-dip sub-parallel to the southeast intrusive contact.

During the 2008 program, GNH also completed a geochemical soil survey on a target with Timmins-style mineralization. Our team is compiling and interpreting the results, which are proving very encouraging.

Stripping/drilling, mapping and sampling of this prospect will be part of the 2009 exploration program.

Two additional areas favourable for hosting Timmins-like deposits have been identified from the efforts of the past two years and warrant similar geochemical sampling with detailed follow-up investigations.
