Golden Predator Continues to Expand West Big Rock Zone, Brewery Creek Project
TSX: GPD
VANCOUVER, June 6, 2012 /CNW/ - Golden Predator Corp. (TSX:GPD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from 13 diamond drill holes completed at the West Big Rock Zone on its flagship Brewery Creek Project. The current drill results extend mineralization to the southwest along strike as well as to the southeast down dip. Following on the positive results obtained to date, the Company plans to continue step-out drilling at West Big Rock to expand oxide mineralization along strike and at depth. The 2012 drilling program continues to validate the potential for significant resource expansion at Brewery Creek, where most mineralized zones remain open in one or more directions and at depth.
Highlights of the current release include:
- BC12-401 with 15.0 m of 1.61 g/t gold from a depth of 77.0 m, including 4.3 m of 4.27 g/t gold;
- BC12-411 with 19.0 m of 2.14 g/t gold from a depth of 92.5 m, including 7.0 m of 5.14 g/t gold;
- BC12-406 with 22.0 m of 1.44 g/t gold from a depth of 73.0 m;
- BC12-413 with 27.8 m of 0.98 g/t gold from a depth of 79.5 m, including 5.3 m of 2.77 g/t gold;
- BC12-415 with 17.4 m of 1.30 g/t gold from a depth of 77.7 m, including 4.0 m of 3.98 g/t gold; and
- BC12-410 with 15.0 m of 1.93 g/t gold from a depth of 91.6 m, including 4.5 m of 5.17 g/t gold

West Big Rock Zone, Brewery Creek
The West Big Rock resource area is the farthest west known gold resource at the Brewery Creek Project. Gold mineralization occurs primarily in clay altered quartz monzonite sills and to a lesser extent in siliclastic sedimentary rocks. The primary mineralized zone outcrops, with a strike of N70 o E and dip of 40o to the southeast.
These 13 holes were designed to test the downdip extension of mineralization at the West Big Rock Zone. Drill holes BC12-410 and BC12-411 tested the extreme southwest section of the mineralized zone and intersected increased grades at an approximate depth of 91 m, suggesting possible higher grade extensions at depth and along strike to the southwest. To date, all 29 step-out holes drilled in 2012 at West Big Rock, which were designed to intersect the mineralized horizon at approximate 25 m intervals, have intersected ore-grade mineralization. Drilling will continue to delineate the extent of oxide mineralization in the West Big Rock 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.
