TSX:GPD VANCOUVER, July 27, 2011 /CNW/ - Golden Predator Corp.(Toronto:GPD.TO) (the "Company") is pleased to announce initial drill results from Brewery Creek's newly discovered Sleeman Zone, the second major discovery on the Company's flagship project this year. Results of particular significance include the following: A complete table of all holes including a more comprehensive geological discussion can be found on our website at: http://www.goldenpredator.com/documents/GPDNR11-30FINALSleemanlong.pdf All holes reaching target depth encountered significant mineralized intercepts of 24 m or more. The Sleeman Zone, located 2.5 km southeast of the previously announced Bohemian-Schooner Zone discovery, remains open in all directions. "We are excited with the continued success at our expansive Brewery Creek Project," said William M. Sheriff, Chairman & CEO. "We have been rewarded with two major discoveries at Brewery Creek, utilizing our geophysical and geochemical data, and are looking forward to further defining both the Sleeman discovery, which remains open in all directions, and the growing Bohemian-Schooner Zone, as well as testing the numerous additional targets across this large property holding." Expanded Brewery Creek Drill Program Sleeman Zone Geology The geochemical signature of the gold bearing zone at Sleeman is distinctly elevated in lead, zinc and silver. Sleeman averages over 700 ppm lead 1,200 ppm zinc and commonly contains over 15 g/t silver within the mineralized intercepts with the select intercept in excess of 100 g/t silver. Other mineralized areas of the Brewery Creek property average less than 100 ppm lead and less than 500 ppm zinc with essentially no silver.

In response to the continuing success at Brewery Creek the Company has determined to further expand its 2011 exploration budget: the Company now plans to spend $7.5 MM during the current fiscal year, an increase of $1.5 MM following the tripling of the annual budget announced May 31, 2011. Drilling continues at Brewery Creek with two core rigs and one RC rig, and the Company is working to secure an additional rig in the coming weeks. Drilling is now being planned on a year-round basis, and the Company is also establishing a permanent all-weather camp at Brewery Creek to augment existing facilities.
Mineralization at the Sleeman Zone is hosted in altered intrusive rocks occurring as a tabular zone dipping moderately to the south-southwest. To date, gold mineralization has been drilled to a vertical depth of 150 m from surface, extends horizontally well over 100 m, and is open in both directions along strike and down dip.
Samples were fire assayed by ALS Chemex in Vancouver. Refer to the Company's news release datedMarch 24, 2011 for a complete discussion of sampling methods, quality control and assurance.
