VANCOUVER, July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Golden Predator Corp. (TSX:GPD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a planned minimum 1,500 m diamond drill program at its previously undrilled Harlan Project located in the Selwyn Basin District, Yukon, Canada. The project area consists of 740 claims covering approximately 150 km² lying approximately 90 km south of the Osiris discovery of Atac Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ATC), and presents at least two major drill-ready gold targets; the Vortex and West Porphyry Zones.

"I first saw field specimens from Harlan fifteen years ago while working for the Yukon Geological Survey, and have eagerly awaited the chance to set foot on the property," said Mike Burke, Chief Geologist. "My recent field visit to the property did not disappoint; the size and tenor of the alteration and mineralization of the system is reason for excitement about our upcoming drill program."

Harlan Project Geology

Two zones of mineralization are know to exist on the project area. The Vortex Zone consists of a northwest trending gold-bismuth-arsenic-antimony anomaly measuring 1,600 m by 700 m that averages over 500 ppb Gold in soils covering a zone consisting of fine disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite within a silicified hydrothermal breccia. Grab samples taken within the Vortex Zone have returned values up to 6.5 g/t Gold. The Vortex Zone contains a 500 by 300 m core that is intensely brecciated and clay altered that averaged more than 1 g/t Gold with peak values up to 10.4 g/t Gold in soils.

The West Porphyry Zone consists of a series of east-southeast trending, steeply south-southwest dipping altered quartz monzonite dykes. Rock chip sampling returned values up to 0.86 g/t Gold over 20.8 m. Anomalous values to 1.26 g/t Gold were returned from dykes across 2.5 km².

The project area is underlain by rocks of the Selwyn Basin that consist mainly of chert-pebble conglomerates of the Devono-Mississipian Earn Group. East-west striking thrust faults cross-cut the property placing the Earn Group rocks in contact with argillites of the Road River Group. Quartz-monzonite dykes tentatively assigned to the Cretaceous Tombstone Suite are also present on the property. Mineralization at the Vortex Zone consists of chalcedonic quartz veining, quartz-sulphide veining, hydrothermal brecciation and silicification within the chert-pebble conglomerates over a distance of more than a kilometre before being obscured under talus cover. At least three generations of quartz and quartz sulphide veining have been identified within the Zone. The West Porphyry zone is associated with a swarm of altered quartz-monzonite dykes intruding graphitic schists of the Road River Group.
