TSX: GPD www.goldenpredator.com
VANCOUVER, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Golden Predator Corp. (TSX: GPD) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has resumed its Brewery Creek drill program following the recently announced discoveries at the Bohemian and Schooner Zones. The Company also reports it has completed an airborne geophysical survey of the Brewery Creek project, conducted to identify and delineate additional drill targets for the 2011 drill program. The Company will host a conference call and live audio webcast at 9 AM PST on Wednesday, May 11th, 2011 to provide information about the discovery and future plans for its Brewery Creek Project. Information on the conference call and live audio webcast is outlined below.
2011 Winter Drill Program
The Brewery Creek winter 2011 diamond drilling campaign was designed to expand the Bohemian Zone, discovered by the Company in 2010 and resulted in a second discovery at the Schooner Zone, 250 m east of the Bohemian Zone with results that included:
- Hole BC11-198: 74 m of 7.08 g/t gold including 57.5 m of 8.90 g/t
gold beginning at a depth of 6 m(1);
- Hole BC11-199: 51.6 m of 1.71 g/t gold starting at a depth of 20 m
with the hole bottoming in 2.85 g/t gold from 69.5 m to the final
depth of 71.6 m(1);
- Hole BC11-183: 28.0 m of 5.06 g/t gold beginning at a depth of 46.0 m
in hole BC11-183, including 13.5 m of 8.78 g/t beginning at a depth
of 53.5 m(2);
- Holes BC11-176: 32.9 m of 3.01 g/t gold beginning at a depth of 42.6
m(3).
The Company's 2011 winter program at Brewery Creek reported significant mineralization on 24 of the 25 holes drilled. The current drill program is planned to include an additional 20 holes and will focus on the extension of mineralization along strike and down dip from this important discovery.
Airborne Geophysical Survey
Results of the airborne survey have identified nine major gold exploration targets consisting of four previously unidentified sites as well as five enhanced target sites. These sites will be systematically tested as the Company's drill program intensifies throughout the year.
Golden Predator has analyzed and characterized the extensive exploration data and the nature of mineralization at the previously mined areas at Brewery Creek as a guide to identify and prioritize other targets in the eastern region of the Property. The known mineralization is associated with quartz monzonite intrusions, which typically show a magnetic low response from hydrothermal destruction of magnetite. In total, the airborne survey identified nine individual areas-of-interest that correlate strongly with anomalous gold in soils.
