Hole LF-143 is one of nine holes drilled, to-date, on the T-11 and G zones. The strong intersection in hole LF-143 demonstrates the presence of significant gold mineralization in this area and the intersection is consistent with previous intersections in the T-11 zone. The T-11 zone has now been drilled over ~1,400 meters (90 holes) and the Company is confident the current drill program will continue to expand the zone. As part of this program Golden Peaks is also drilling the large breccia targets which underlie and flank the T-11 and G zones. These targets, identified by a CSAMT survey and in part by drilling, may be the root zones of the high grade gold-bearing quartz veins/breccias that occur in the T-11 and G zones. The CSAMT survey indicates the conductive zones that host the gold mineralization persist to depths in excess of 500 meters.

Gold +/- silver mineralization in the La Fortuna gold project occurs in an area of ~ 2 X 2 km, within a broad, NE-trending regional fault zone.

Assays will be released once received, verified and evaluated.

The diamond drill contractor is Energold Drilling Corp. A lightweight, portable drill is being used to minimize environmental impact. All samples are being assayed by Alex Stewart (Assayers) Argentina S.A.
