NEW YORK, January 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Gold prices have been increasing lately, and on Monday the U.S. gold futures were up 0.5 percent reaching $1,201.80 per ounce. This is a reaction to several political and macroeconomic concerns that drive demand for the safe-haven metal, including renewed Brexit worries as well as uncertainties related to the USA Presidential economic plans. As for the upcoming Presidential inauguration, Reuters reported, "Investors have been enticed into gold this month as questions over Federal Reserve policy and the Trump administration drive a bigger than usual January bounce in a beaten-down market… Hedge funds and money managers in the week to Jan. 10 raised their net long position in COMEX gold contracts for the first time in nine weeks, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data showed on Friday." Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (OTC: GDMRF) (TSX-V: GOM.V), YAMANA GOLD INC. (NYSE: AUY) (TSX: YRI), Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K), Eldorado Gold Corporation (NYSE: EGO) (TSX: ELD), Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE: GG) (TSX: G)

Various news outlets in the United Kingdom are interpreting Prime Minister Theresa May's speech as planting the seed for a "hard" exit from the European Union, leaving the European single market as well. The Single Market refers to the EU as one territory without any internal borders or other regulatory obstacles to the free movement of goods and services. Investors and traders have expressed concerns that such measures may result in destabilizing the economy for the UK, EU and eventually the world.

Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (OTC: GDMRF) (TSX-V: GOM.V) is a Canadian based resource exploration company, which focuses on acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Golden Dawn holds interests in resource properties in British Columbia.

Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. announced earlier today that the, "results from 2016 underground drilling, and revised results for one surface step-out hole at its 100% owned May Mac mine.

Repeat analyses on surface hole BF 16-26 indicate the original fire assay results announced in a news release dated December 12, 2016 were biased low. Additional check assays were done on a highly mineralized intercept for silver, gold and base metals by the same laboratory.

Three splits from one high grade sample (M253097) were re-analyzed for Ag by Fire Assay and 4Acid digestion assay. The repeat analyses indicate the original fire assay result was biased low. For gold, replicate analyses by fire assay with gravimetric finish verify the initial reported result by FA-ICP. Check assays for lead show that for samples with > 5% Pb the 4Acid "near-total" digestion technique is not appropriate, as it shows a significantly low bias, and that an Aqua Regia digestion or Peroxide Fusion assay is required for full Pb recovery. No bias was detected in the analyses for zinc and copper. In summary, check assays returned much higher values for silver and lead.

The Company will resume May-Mac Mine underground diamond drilling by Jan. 21th, 2017 from drill station #3, followed by stations #2 and #1…The Company is preparing additional requested backup information to support its permit application submitted last November. The application covers the extension of the May Mac 7 Level drift to the northwest and excavation of a bulk sample of up to 10,000 tonnes, to be processed in the Company's Greenwood Mill, 15 km southeast of the May Mac Mine.

The company will continue underground as well as surface exploration diamond drilling to locate a source of mill feed from the May Mac Mine to add to the future production from the company's Lexington and Golden Crown Mines. Both of these mines have drilled out tonnage in the inferred, indicated and measured categories (see N.R. of Feb 24, 2016).

The Company is scheduled to complete a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report within a week on the Greenwood properties of Kettle River Resources Ltd., which are subject to a Letter of Intent for acquisition from New Nadina Resources Ltd. The Kettle River land package consists of approximately 12,000 ha. of mostly contiguous land covering 70 showings and 30 historic mines in the Greenwood mining camp, including the former Phoenix copper-gold mine."
