VANCOUVER, July 7, 2011 /CNW/ - Golden Predator Corp. (TSX: GPD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the eastern section of Bohemian-Schooner Zone at its flagship Brewery Creek Project. Significant results include 46.5 m of 1.54 g/t gold in hole BC11-212 beginning at a depth of 22.5 m and 10.87 m of 7.57 g/t gold in hole BC11-227 beginning at a depth of 33.5 m. Eight of the thirteen new holes intersect significant mineralization.  The Bohemian-Schooner Zone has now been extended to approximately 1 km in length and remains open along strike to the east as well as down dip.

These latest holes were designed to delineate the main structure along the eastern section of the Bohemian-Schooner Zone.  Peripheral holes that were drilled through strata that comprise either the hanging wall or footwall of the target structure also show minor mineralization away from this main structure. The central portion of the zone is located under a bog which the Company intends to infill drill during the winter freeze-up.  Drilling continues on the easterly extension of the Bohemian-Schooner Zone as well as other high-priority targets throughout the Project area.

(1)  Results where g/t x m is less than 2.5 are not reported in this table, unless the individual grade was ≥ 1 g/t gold over a minimum of 2.0 metres. Other intervals require ≥0.5 g/t gold to be included.
(2)  Grams per tonne (g/t) to troy ounces per short ton: g/t divided by 34.2857 or multiply by .0292. Metres to feet: 1 m equals 3.28084 ft.

Overview of the 2011 Brewery Creek Drill Program
The 2011 drill program at Brewery Creek has been designed to expand the recently discovered Bohemian-Schooner Zone and evaluate numerous coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Ongoing drilling continues to test strike and dip continuity of mineralization along this major structure as well as adjacent areas and explore for potential subsidiary structures.  In addition, drilling has commenced on several other target areas elsewhere on the expansive Brewery Creek Project.

The Brewery Creek Project is located 55 km due east of Dawson City, Yukon and comprises 997 quartz claims over 187 km2. Brewery Creek was the site of a heap-leach gold mine that operated from 1996‐2002 and produced 279,541 ounces of gold. Current resources remaining on the property include an Indicated Resource of 3.98 MM tonnes grading 1.135 g/t gold and an Inferred Resource of 2.2 MM tonnes averaging 2.01 g/t gold (Diment and Simpson, 2009). The Brewery Creek Project is authorized under a Type A Water License and a production license with expiry dates of December 31, 2021.
