Gold Mountain Identifies New Targets With Titan 24 Survey At Elk Gold Project

VANCOUVER, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Gold Mountain Mining Corporation (TSXV: GUM) (the "Company" or  "Gold Mountain") is pleased to announce results from a recent geophysical test survey at the Company's 100% owned Elk Gold Project, using the Titan-24 Array Magnetotelluric Survey ("Titan-24") technique pioneered by Quantec Geoscience.

Located near Merritt, BC, Elk is a high grade, narrow vein, mesothermal gold deposit, with an existing NI 43-101 compliant resource, hosted mainly by intrusive rocks. Multiple Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability and Magnetotelluric resistivity anomalies were identified during the survey, generally coincident with known mineralized zones and also indicating potential for additional mineralized zones across strike and at depth. These new targets warrant follow up and will be drill tested during the exploration program planned for this season.

The survey was conducted late last year over 2 north-south lines of approximately 7 kilometers length, spaced 400 meters apart, crossing the historic pit and other mineralized zones, to test the effectiveness of the survey technique in detecting the known gold bearing quartz-pyrite vein structures and to look for deeper controlling structures which might be used to target further regional exploration. A survey map and section are attached to this press release.

The survey was successful in recognizing known mineralized zones. Several new near surface anomalies were also identified, approximately 300m and 1300m north of historic pit, in the Bullion and Nicola zones, and approximately 1500m south of the South zone. These anomalies are interpreted to represent shear or fault structures which may host quartz veins similar to mineralized zones elsewhere on the property.

A broad, shallow chargeability high was also detected in the Nicola zone, which may represent disseminated sulphides or possible skarn mineralization associated with the inferred contact between the granodiorite/quartz-monzonite intrusive and Nicola volcanics in this area. In addition, a very large, deep (+500m depth) resistivity low was detected below the known Discovery Zone, which may represent a major regional structure and/or change in composition of the intrusive stock which hosts most of the known mineralization.

All of these new anomalies warrant follow up by drill testing, particularly in the Discovery, Bullion and new Far South zones. The Company is currently planning a minimum 10,000 meter core drilling campaign on the project for summer 2012, targeting roughly 5,000 meters in the historic pit area (including potential western extensions) and a further 5,000 meters on at least four regional targets indicated by the Titan-24 survey.

The current NI 43-101 resource estimate in the historic pit area, based on drill data available in 2009, is tabulated below:

An new resource estimation is underway, with detailed 3D interpretation of the latest 2011 and 2010 data (which was not included in the current estimate) being conducted in house, before Giroux Consultants Ltd. completes an updated block model, expected to be finalized in Q2.
