Geotechnical-Metallurgical Drill Program At Brewery Creek Project

VANCOUVER, BC - Golden Predator Mining Corp. has commenced a 1,600 meter engineering and metallurgical drill program at its Brewery Creek Property in the Yukon. The drilling is focused at the Golden, Lucky and Kokanee pits which were previously mined in the 1990's and historic data indicates significant oxide gold mineralization remains unmined. The drill program is scheduled to drill 18 PQ sized core holes to acquire material for metallurgical testing. The testing will include column leach tests and is designed to confirm the in-situ gold grades and expected recoveries for the designed heap leach process in the existing Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

An additional 11 holes will be drilled around these former pits to re-establish ground water monitor wells and to obtain additional geotechnical information to acquire the final parameters for the new pit designs and permit requirements. Once the drilling is complete and all test results have been received Golden Predator will be able to update and complete the mine design for permit submission to YESAB.
