Golden Predator Announces Barrick Gold Royalty Annual Reserve Estimate

WHITEHORSE, Nov. 15, 2012 /CNW/ - Golden Predator Corp. (TSX: GPD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce receipt of the Annual Reserve Estimate from Barrick Gold Corp.'s Bald Mountain Mine in Elko County, Nevada for the period ending December 31, 2011. The report covers only those resources and reserves that are attributable to the deeded royalty in and around the Bald Mountain Mine as detailed in the November 11, 1993 agreement between Placer Dome U.S. Inc. as the purchaser and the Lyle F. Campbell Trust (LFCT) as the seller. This deeded royalty, applicable to an area of approximately 30 square miles along a north-south corridor extending from south of the Alligator Ridge mine to the Bald Mountain mine along the Carlin Trend, provides for a 1.0% Gross Sales Royalty payable to the seller in cash or kind at the sole election of the seller. The LFCT was subsequently acquired by Gold Standard Royalty Corp. (GSR), further consolidated into Gold Standard Royalty (Nevada) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Predator Corp.

This particular royalty referred to as the Bald Mountain-Alligator Ridge Area is shown by the yellow outline on the map below. This reserve statement does not include the Duke-Trapper-Royale property to the north (shaded green) where GSR holds a 4% Gross Sales Royalty under a separate lease from Barrick's Bald Mountain Mine. A 43-101 resource estimate for the Duke-Trapper-Royale lease and royalty is being independently commissioned by the Company with an anticipated completion date of Q2-2013.


Annual Reserve Estimate for Bald Mountain-Alligator Ridge Area as prepared by Bald Mountain Mine 1

The proven and probable reserves as stated in the table below total 45,336,228 tons at an average grade of 0.014 troy ounces per ton of gold containing a total of 652,161 troy ounces of gold. These reserve amounts are included in the resource estimate which also includes measured and indicated resources. The total measured and indicated resource including reserves is 73,023,584 tons at an average grade of 0.013 troy ounces per ton of gold containing a total of 978,690 troy ounces of gold. Bald Mountain proven and probable reserves have been calculated at a gold price of $1200 per ounce. Barrick Gold Corp.'s definition of resources and reserves is as follows:

Mineral resource: The mineral occurrence in such form and quantity and grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, continuity and geological characteristics are known, and are estimated and interpreted from specific geological knowledge and evidence.

Mineral reserve: The mineral reserve is the economically mineable portion of the mineral resource demonstrated at least by a preliminary economic feasibility study that includes information on mining, processing, metallurgy, economic and other relevant factors which demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, economic extraction can be justified. The reserve includes allowances for dilution and other losses that may occur during mining.

Proven and Probable reserves are as follows, as of December 31, 2011; reserves are reported as a subset of the resources. All reserves are oxide, open pitable and to be processed by heap leach.

¹-Letter to GSR from Bald Mountain Mine reporting annual reserve estimate as of December 31, 2011


Barrick Gold Bald Mountain Royalty and Project

Golden Predator Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, GSR, owns a deeded 1% Gross Sales Royalty on approximately 30 square miles (Bald Mountain-Alligator Ridge Area) along with a separate parcel (Duke-Trapper-Royale) containing unpatented mining claims under lease to Barrick Gold Corp. providing GSR with a 4% Gross Sales Royalty. These two properties are part of Barrick's Bald Mountain Mine project. Both of these properties were part of the Lyle F. Campbell Trust which was acquired by Golden Predator's wholly owned subsidiary, GSR, in 2007. Lyle Campbell was an acknowledged early day Carlin Trend prospector who is credited with a number of important gold discoveries.


Golden Predator Royalty Portfolio

Golden Predator Corp. controls a royalty package of 32 North America properties including several deeded royalties totaling over 100,000 acres in Nevada, Wyoming, Oregon and Mexico including Midway Gold Corp.'s Pan and Gold Rock deposits. These properties are predominantly leased out to mineral production, development and exploration companies to provide royalty revenue to Golden Predator Corp. In 2012, the royalty packages generated $799,762 in revenue and this is expected to increase in 2013, with the bulk of the current revenue due annually each January. Subsequent royalty revenue is anticipated to experience acceleration as early as 2014 as several of these projects begin to advance.

Golden Predator Corp.'s royalty portfolio remains unique in the mineral development industry due to the nature of the Gross Production Royalties which were acquired from the LFCT that cover specific projects moving towards production, the ability to receive payment in gold or cash and the absence of buy-back provisions affecting any of the royalties.
