Abitibi ("AGB") Grassroots Exploration Project Update: Golden Valley Identifies 29 "Drill Ready" Prospects
(firmenpresse) - VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 06/11/12 -- Golden Valley Mines Ltd. ("Golden Valley" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE: GZZ) provides the following update with respect to its property holdings in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt ("AGB"), located in Quebec and Ontario.
Golden Valley's exploration activities over the past several years have been mainly focused on preliminary fieldwork conducted over the company's 100%-owned properties, with the objective of upgrading and advancing each property to the group of "drill-ready" prospects for the Company's AGB Project.
The preliminary fieldwork consisted of "boot and hammer" prospecting and sampling and where warranted, the establishment of mini grids over high priority target areas (i.e. surface showings and airborne geophysical anomalies) to facilitate the completion of ground geophysical surveys. The Company's AGB Grassroots exploration project is principally directed towards identifying prospective targets for both precious (Au-Ag, PGE) and base-metals (Cu-Zn, Co, Ni-Cu).
Presently, Golden Valley has identified drill targets on twenty-one (21) individual prospects, that in total include fifty-five (55) "higher priority targets" for an aggregate amount of approximately 7,445 metres of proposed diamond drilling. Table I includes both 100%-owned and recently optioned properties (to each of Monarch Energy Limited ("Monarch") and Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. ("GCC") and in respect of which Golden Valley is the program operator.
A summary of the proposed drilling is as follows:
Table I
In addition to the prospects listed in Table I above, a further sixty-three (63) follow-up drillholes with an aggregate amount of approximately 9,838 metres of diamond drilling is proposed on eight (8) separate properties, following the initial diamond drill programs operated by Golden Valley. Table II includes both 100%-owned and recently optioned properties (to each of GCC and Big North Graphite (formerly Big North Capital Inc. and in respect of which the Company is the program operator).

Golden Valley also has a portfolio of thirteen (13) properties that warrant further exploration work based on encouraging results obtained by the Company in its initial drilling campaigns.
A summary of the prospects warranting additional exploration work is outlined as follows:

("Calone Canada"), Golden Valley's wholly owned subsidiary, and K&K Investment GMBH ("K&K"), that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the share purchase agreement, as it has been amended and restated, and pursuant to which K&K is to acquire all of Calone Canada's shareholdings in its Sierra Leonean subsidiary Calone SL, shall take place on or before July 2, 2012, or on such later date as may be determined between Calone Canada and K&K ("Closing").
