News for 'SGRCF' - (Grandview's First-Pass Drilling Indicates Discovery of Two New Rice Lake Gold Zones Four of Seven Preliminary Holes Drilled Returned Promising Gold Values)

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Dec 12, 2007 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- Grandview Gold Inc.
(TSX:GVX) (OTCBB:GVGDF) ("Grandview" or the "Company") is pleased to report that
the Company received favorable first-pass drilling results on its grass-roots
Angelina Gold property (the "Property") in Manitoba's emerging Rice Lake Gold
District and further, that assays indicate the existence of two previously
un-discovered gold zones on the Property.

"We are pleased by the first-pass results from Angelina, but more important this
is our first foray into the Rice Lake belt and an important piece of the overall
story of the Company. Grandview is the only Canadian junior gold company with
high-potential gold properties in two major gold districts (Carlin Trend, Nevada
and Red Lake, Ontario) and one emerging gold district (Rice Lake, Manitoba) -
all at different levels of exploration and all delivering impressive gold
numbers. In the context of gold exploration, Rice Lake is emerging, as is
Angelina. We firmly believe that, by virtue of its geological similarities to
the 30 million ounce Red Lake Gold District and the return on investment
delivered against historic exploration activity, Rice Lake has better than
average potential for delivering major discoveries like San Gold's 1.4 million
ounce Rice Lake Mine," says Grandview President and CEO Paul Sarjeant.

(1) Newly Discovered Gold Zones

    thicknesses.





The 2007 drill program for the Property comprised 1193 metres over seven holes
in three targeted areas, namely the Discovery Shear, the Contact Zone and the
Beaver Pond Vein.

Four holes over 743m were drilled to test gold enriched quartz veins in the
'Discovery Shear' area, including the 'Discovery Zone' first staked in 1925. The
eastern edge of the Discovery Shear (Discovery Zone) was drilled by Gossan
Resources ("Gossan") in 2004 with shallow drill holes that returned grades of
3.4 g/T over 1m and 1.9 g/T over 4.2 m. This season Grandview tested the
Discovery Shear along approximately 350m of strike length, west of the historic
Discovery Zone. Three of the four drill holes tested 50 metres below highly
enriched surface samples (15.2 g/T, 16.5 g/T and 10.8 g/T gold) acquired during
spring 2007 prospecting.

The fourth hole tested 50 metres below visible gold discovered by Grandview
geologist in September 2007 prior to mobilizing the drill. Two of the four holes
tested by the Company this season returned notable gold grades in the primary
shear zone. AN-07-01 intersected 0.89 g/T gold over 2m, including a 0.5m
interval grading 2.08 g/T gold. AN-07-04 intersected 2.13 g/T gold over 1.5m and
AN-07-02 intersected a second, deeper mineralized shear zone (herein termed
'South Discovery Shear') grading 1.18 g/T gold over 0.5m which visually appears
to be more prospective with depth (thickness, alteration, sulphides and vein
intensity).

Two holes over 301m were drilled by Grandview in the 'Contact Zone' (host of the
Discovery Zone), planned to test a 50+m thick moderately quartz veined
sericite-ankerite alteration zone along the contact between basaltic volcanic
rocks to the north and a large gabbro intrusive body to the south. The Contact
Zone had seen no previous drilling but spring 2007 prospecting had returned
numerous anomalous gold enriched samples. AN-07-06 intersected 0.81 g/T gold
over 3m, including 1.4 g/T gold over 1.5m.

Only one 149m hole was drilled to test a quartz-ankerite vein (Beaver Pond Vein)
that returned a 1.48 g/T gold assay collected by Gossan in 2003, but no
significant assays were returned for this hole.

Company geologists are currently reviewing, compiling and interpreting results
of the 2007 prospecting and drill program for the Property, comparing them with
previous prospecting, mapping, drilling, geophysics and geochemical results, and
will begin developing an exploration program for 2008. "We are confident about
Angelina's future, given the highly enriched gold samples found during
prospecting earlier this season and that, of the 238 samples collected from
drilling, approximately 80percent returned assays above anomalous gold
enrichment." concludes Mr. Sarjeant.

Samples were selected, split by diamond saw, sealed, secured and delivered to
the SGS laboratory in Red Lake by Grandview Gold Inc. staff. Sample preparation
(PRP 89) and gold analysis by fire assay atomic absorption (FAA303) or
gravimetric finish (FAG303) are performed in Red Lake. Additional 32 element
geochemistry by aqua regia digestion followed by ICP-AES (ICP12B) is performed
by SGS in Toronto. Quality control is maintained by the insertion of a blank and
standard sample every 25 samples. The drilling program was carried out under the
supervision of Paul Sarjeant, B.Sc, P.Geo, President and CEO of Grandview, who
is a "qualified person" as defined by NI 43-101. The information in this release
was reviewed by and prepared under the direction of Paul Sarjeant.

About the Property

In March, 2007 Grandview acquired 100-per-cent interest in the 11 claim
Property. The results of surface mapping and diamond drilling completed by
Gossan in 2003 and 2004 attracted the Company to the Property which was first
staked in 1925. Several shear zones and high-grade visible gold were discovered
on the Property in 1927 and there has been sporadic exploration over the years.
Recent mapping and compilation data produced by P. Fulton-Regula for Gossan in
2003 indicated gold results from chip samples over multiple shear zones
including 18.0 g/tonne gold over 3.7 metres, 8.84 g/tonne gold over 7.92 metres,
9.18 g/tonne gold over 2 metres.

Individual grab samples of vein quartz ranged from 31g/T to 205.7 g/T gold. Gold
mineralization was found along NNW trending shear zones within a structurally
complex assemblage of basalts, metasediment, gabbro and tuffs. In 2004, Gossan
drilled 10 shallow diamond drill holes with results including; Ang-04-01
returned 3.4 g/T gold over 1 metre and Ang-04-05 returned 1.9 g/T gold over 4.2
metres. For further details regarding the exploration history of the Property

The 2007 drilling program for the Property followed-up on prospecting done
earlier this field season as part of the Rice Lake Greenstone Belt
Reconnaissance program. During prospecting, eight surface samples returned
anomalous gold values over an area of approximately 450 metres by 150 metres
(1,476 by 492 feet). Two samples contained VG (visible gold) and assayed 16.6
g/T gold and 15.2 g/T gold. A third sample returned 10.8 g/T gold.

About Rice Lake

Grandview considers Manitoba's emerging Rice Lake Gold District as a potential
new major gold district given its geological similarities to the Red Lake Gold
District. What separates the two Archean greenstone belt districts, other than
the provincial border, is their gold exploration histories. They lie in the same
geological terrain, on the same crustal fault and are structurally very similar.
Like the Red Lake greenstone belt, the Rice Lake greenstone belt is part of the
Superior Province and Uchi Subprovince.

In spite of its similarities to the Red Lake Gold District, the Rice Lake Gold
District remains virtually unexplored, having produced about 10-per-cent of the
gold produced by the Red Lake District. Industry estimates suggest that Rice
Lake exploration activity runs at about 20-per-cent of Red Lake levels, and
expenditures at about one to two-per-cent.

Most mining activity took place prior to WWII and the advent of even pre-modern
exploration techniques. In 2006, San Gold re-opened the San Antonio/Bissett Mine
(1.4 million ounces historic production 1932-68, 1982-83) as the Rice Lake Gold
Project and is currently in production with proven and probable reserves of 1.2
million ounces gold. A dozen other mines produced an aggregate of 300,000 ounces
from 1922 - 1951. No other producing resource companies are currently operating
in the area.
