VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 4, 2011 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --

Gold Canyon Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GCU)(PINK SHEETS:GDCRF) ("Gold Canyon" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that Quinton Hennigh, Ph.D., P.Geo., has joined the Board of Directors of Gold Canyon. Dr. Hennigh is an economic geologist with more than 20 years of exploration experience. Over the past four years as President and Chief Geologist of Evolving Gold Corp. ("Evolving"), Dr. Hennigh has helped assemble a world class portfolio of gold projects and led successful exploration resulting in three significant discoveries including the Rattlesnake Hills deposit, Wyoming. Prior to joining Evolving, he was an exploration geologist with Newmont Mining Corp., Newcrest Mining, and Homestake Mining, during which time he worked on projects in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America. More recently, Dr. Hennigh has acted as advisor to Gold Canyon Resources since 2009, where he helped refocus exploration at the Company's Springpole Gold Project in Ontario. He earned a M.Sc. and a Ph.D in geology and geochemistry from the Colorado School of Mines in 1993 and 1996, respectively.

It is with great regret that the Company announces the resignation of Douglas Christopherson from the Board of Directors. Akiko Levinson, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the Company states: "We wish to thank Mr. Christopherson for his years of service with Gold Canyon and note that he will continue to serve Gold Canyon through our subsidiary, Gold Canyon Kratz Spring LLC. Dr. Hennigh has been a valuable and dedicated technical advisor to Gold Canyon's 100% controlled Springpole Gold Project in northwestern Ontario and with his addition to the Board of Directors, we will continue to benefit from his expertise and leadership."
