Hole GSDL12-01 is the first hole of the 2012 program in the
Dolphin Zone and returned 314.1 metres averaging 0.69 g/t
Au. It is a 60 metre step out to the north of hole GSDC
11-43 which intersected 200.3 metres of 0.85 g/t Au. The
results of hole DL 12-01 also confirm that the
mineralization remains open at depth and to the west and
south. Additional drilling is planned to expand on the
mineralization encountered in hole GSDL12-01.
Significant results from GSDL12-01 are reported below:

Width refers to drill hole intercepts, true widths can not
be determined due to uncertain geometry of mineralization.
All assays reported are uncut.
Significant mineralization in hole GSDL12-01 is associated
with numerous faults and shear zones containing variable
amounts of quartz -- sulfide veining. Host rocks include
quartz mica schist, quartz biotite schist and hornfels.
Visible gold was noted in core from this hole. Sulfide
content was generally below 5% but ranged up to 50% in some
massive sulfide veins. The dominant sulfide minerals
include pyrite and arsenopyrite with lesser jamesonite and
sphalerite.
Current drilling in the Dolphin area is aimed at expanding
the current Dolphin resource (December 2011) which using a
0.35 g/t cutoff is 14,840,000 tonnes @ 0.66 g/t Au -
representing 316,000 ounces in the indicated category and
50,460,000 tonnes @ 0.61 g/t Au - representing 991,000
ounces in the inferred category.
A total of 3,856 metres were drilled in the Cleary Hill
zone since January of which assays have been reported for
1,832 metres. This drilling was aimed at merging
mineralization at the Cleary Hill Zone with the existing
Dolphin Resource. Results from the remaining Cleary Hill
zone drilling will be reported shortly.
1,653 metres have been drilled in the Dolphin Zone since
January of which assays for 314.1 metres have now been
reported.
In addition 1,686 metres have been completed since January
on the Christina area of which 1,175 metres have been
reported.
The total program planned for 2012 for Golden Summit is
20,000 metres.

the project.
Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with
one-half placed in sealed bags. Core samples were picked up
on-site by ALS-Chemex Labs and transported to their
facility in Fairbanks, Alaska. A sample quality
control/quality assurance program was implemented.
