Golden Predator Reports Discovery of New Zone and Further Progress at Brewery Creek Project, Yukon
Vancouver, British Columbia — October 27th, 2011: Golden Predator Corp. (TSX:GPD) (the “Company”) is pleased to release positive results from an additional 19 diamond drill holes and 14 reverse circulation drill holes at its flagship Brewery Creek Project. In addition, the Company is strongly encouraged by significant gold intercepts on the newly discovered Ice Fog Zone. The Company‘s Sleeman Zone and North Slope infill drilling programs continue to meet expectations. Highlights of the current release include:
To date in 2011, the Company has completed more than 240 drill holes at Brewery Creek, totalling over 38,000 m. Drilling has been concentrated on delineating the two 2011 discoveries at the Bohemian-Schooner and Sleeman Zones, with significant additional drilling on the North Slope and Classic Zones, as well as the newly identified Ice Fog Zone. Results are still pending for over 130 core and RC holes. Year-round drilling continues at Brewery Creek, with 4 core rigs and one RC rig presently operating on site. Resource modeling in support of an updated resource estimate is well underway. 2011 Yukon Update To date the Company has completed: - 6 core holes for more than 2,000 m on its previously undrilled Harlan Project; - 6 additional core holes for almost 1,400 m on its Antimony Project; - 8 core holes for approximately 1,200 m on its Eureka Project; - 18 core holes for more than 3600 m at its Clear Creek - 20 core and 50 RC holes on its Grew Creek Project; - over 240 combined holes at Brewery Creek as described above; and - extensive soil and stream sediment surveys over much of its expansive land holdings in the Yukon.
In total, the Company has drilled over 350 holes totalling over 65,000 m to date in 2011. All results are still pending from the Harlan, Antimony, and Eureka programs, approximately 50% of the Grew Creek drill program, and over 50% of the ongoing Brewery Creek drill program where year-round operation continues with 4 core rigs and 1 RC rig. In addition, results from all soil and stream sediment sampling programs are pending.
Sleeman Zone Geology Mineralization at the Sleeman Zone is hosted in altered intrusive rocks occurring as a tabular zone dipping moderately to the south-southwest. To date, gold mineralization has been drilled to a vertical depth of 150 m from surface, extends horizontally well over 300 m, and is open in both directions along strike and down dip. The geochemical signature of the gold bearing zone at Sleeman is distinctly elevated in lead, zinc and silver. North Slope Zone Geology The North Slope area lies approximately 1 km northwest of the Reserve-trend deposits which were historically mined at Brewery Creek. It is parallel and structurally similar to those deposits but occupies a different (lower) part of the stratigraphic section. Altered quartz monzonite sills and adjacent siltstones host gold mineralization at North Slope. Ice Fog Zone Geology The newly discovered Ice Fog Zone lies between the North Slope zone and the Kokanee and Golden pits. Mineralization is hosted primarily in siltstone with some narrow intervals of quartz monzonite. Mapping, limited drilling, and soil geochemistry in this mostly covered area indicates potential for the Ice Fog Zone to represent a previously unrecognized parallel mineralized structural zone.     
Sampling Methodology, Quality Control and Assurance Samples were fire assayed for gold by ALS Chemex and ACME Laboratories in Vancouver. All assays are reported as drilled intervals and are not to be interpreted as true widths. Refer to the Company’s news release dated March 24, 2011 for a complete discussion of sampling methods, quality control and assurance. Additional sampling protocol for the RC samples includes collection of samples through a wet rotary splitter mounted on the drill where an average sample weight of 7 kilograms is collected in porous polypropylene bags. Samples are then shipped to the laboratory following chain of custody protocol and with appropriate QA/QC samples inserted as per the guidelines described in the March 24, 2011 news release. The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Michael Maslowski, BSc, CPG, the Company's Vice President, Exploration (Canada) and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
