Golden Hope Mines Completes Trenching and Bulk Sampling on its Bellechasse

(Timmins) Gold Deposit.

Golden Hope Mines Limited is pleased to announce the completion of a trenching and

bulk sampling program on the T1 and T2 gold-bearing zones of the Bellechasse

(Timmins) Gold deposit.

A total of seven new trenches were blasted across portions of the T1 and T2 mineralized

zones. The 2007 Rico trench was re-sampled as part of the current study. 84 bulk

samples ranging from ~5 to ~15 tonnes each were recovered. The majority of samples

represented 2 meter advances across the strike of the mineralization: Several 3 metre

samples were collected where field conditions dictated. The trenches can be viewed on

the company’s web site at www.goldenhopemines.com/UserFiles/BC_min_zones.pdf.

A mobile crushing and screening plant set up on the property processed each individual

bulk sample to 100% passing ~380mm. All samples are archived on the property in a

prepared area and each sample is marked and mapped to permit re-sampling if required.

Five ~25kg sub-samples were collected from each lot for further size reduction to ~95%

passing 6mm. This product is riffled to yield two ~1 kg cuts for total pulp metallic

treatment in a commercial assay laboratory. The first several lots of these samples have

already been shipped for analysis. Additional shipments are following on a regular basis.

In addition, 84 ~75kg to 100kg trench-bottom samples corresponding to the bulk samples

were collected. Each of these was crushed to -6mm and riffled to yield two ~1kg splits

for total pulp metallic treatment. All of these samples have already been processed and

shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd for analysis. Results are pending.

Golden Hope Mines is working toward developing reliable grade data that will permit

preparation of resource estimates.
