VANCOUVER, May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Golden Predator Corp. (TSX: GPD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has tripled its 2011 budget at its Brewery Creek Project to $6 MM. The Company made the decision to increase its Brewery Creek budget following the promising discoveries of its 2010-2011 drill programs at the newly-discovered Bohemian and Schooner Zones, and the identification of a number of high-priority drill targets by an airborne geophysical survey completed in May 2011.(1)

As part of the increased budget, the Company has secured a second diamond drill rig for Brewery Creek, to intensify the ongoing drill program. This second rig will focus on targets recently identified by airborne survey along trend on the eastern portion of the property, where only limited exploration has occurred in the past. A third rig has been scheduled to begin at the Project in mid June, which will be a truck-mounted RC (reverse circulation) rig.

The addition of a second diamond drill rig and an RC rig will allow the Company to rapidly assess and delineate the Bohemian and Schooner Zone discoveries, while simultaneously conducting aggressive exploration on several other high priority targets on the 187 km2 Brewery Creek property.
