Golden Peaks Cuts 30 Meters of 3 g/t Gold

March 22, 2010, -- Vancouver -- Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL) (the "Company") is pleased to report assays for hole LF-142 drilled on the T-11 zone of its La Fortuna Gold Project, Argentina.

The latest drilling at T11 continues to return excellent results (Figure 1). Hole LF-142 is one of four holes drilled to better define the T-11 zone. The multiple intersections in LF-142 demonstrate the continuity of the gold mineralization throughout the system. The intersection in hole LF-142 is consistent with previous drill holes in the T-11 zone and confirms that mineralization is present in similar style and grades along strike. 

See drill location map (http://www.goldenpeaks.com/i/maps/LaF_NR.jpg) Eighty-nine holes have now been drilled on the T-11 zone over a strike length of 1400 meters and +96% of the holes have intersected gold mineralization. The Company is confident the T-11 zone will be expanded by the current drill program. Golden Peaks is also drilling reconnaissance and in-fill holes on the G zone and targeting the possible higher grade root zones of the gold-bearing quartz veins/breccias which occur in the T-11 and G zones. These targets, which underlie and flank the T-11 and G zones, were identified by a CSAMT survey and in part by drilling. The CSAMT survey indicates the conductive zones that host the gold mineralization persist to depths in excess of 500 meters. 

One such CSAMT zone lies approximately 200 meters southwest of the G zone. This is a priority target and is currently being drilled. Assays from other holes drilled in this program will be released once received, verified and evaluated. The diamond drill contractor is Energold Drilling Corp. A lightweight, portable drill is being used to minimize environmental impact. All samples are being assayed by Alex Stewart (Assayers) Argentina S.A. This press release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Kieran Downes, P.Geo., President of Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, under whose direction the exploration programs are being carried out.

Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. - Drilling to focus on the T-11 & G gold zones

VANCOUVER, Dec. 3 /CNW/ - Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL - News; the "Company") is pleased to report, it has completed a geostatistical analysis of the geochemistry of the mineralized systems present on the La Fortuna Gold Project, Argentina.

Geostatistics is a branch of statistics focusing on spatiotemporal datasets. Developed originally to predict probable distributions for mining operations, it is currently applied in diverse disciplines including geochemistry.

Chemical analyses of samples from all of the zones were evaluated by several geostatistical methods. The significant conclusions are:

     1.  The mineralization is categorized as low sulphidation type.

     2.  The greatest enrichment in gold is found in the T-11, G and CR zones
         where the gold to silver ration is 1:1. The enrichment is associated
         with higher mineralizing temperatures likely focused by the
         intersection of the A and CR Structures.

     3.  Regression analysis identified a distinctive population of high value
         gold assays associated with high copper values. In the T-11/G/CR
         zones this gold population is associated with quartz veins/breccias
         the roots of which are the primary targets of the planned drill
         program.

     4.  The most prospective areas are in the northwest: T-11, G and CR
         zones.
     
The T-11 and G zones are located in the northeast part of the project where the A and CR Structures intersect.

Golden Peaks Resources Ltd - La Fortuna: Expanded - New Discoveries

Press Release Source: Golden Peaks Resources Ltd.

Golden Peaks Resources Ltd - La Fortuna: Expanded - New Discoveries

VANCOUVER, March 5 /CNW/ - Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL - News) is pleased to report new exploration results from its ongoing field program in the La Fortuna gold district, Patagonia, Argentina. Field crews completed reconnaissance prospecting and sampling in an area of approximately 13 square kilometres between the Canadon Bagual, Portrero and the ML prospects. This area had not been prospected previously.

A total of 621 rock samples were collected for assay. http://www.goldenpeaks.com/i/maps/CBPortreroandMLSamples2009.jpg - Thu Mar 5, 2009. The new gold and silver assays, along with anomalous values in epithermal 'gold-pathfinder' elements such as mercury, antimony, arsenic and tellurium, indicate this area of the La Fortuna gold district is expanding rapidly and is highly prospective for the discovery of large deposits of epithermal gold mineralization.

Numerous new zones of structurally controlled mineralization in hydrothermal veins and breccias were discovered in this, highly prospective area. Significant extensions to the Canadon Bagual, Portrero and ML zones were discovered along with a number of exciting new zones. The Canadon Bagual and Portrero zones contain gold and silver rich lead-zinc mineralization. The ML zone, which contains anomalous values of gold, silver, arsenic, mercury, lead and antimony, may represent a clay and silica cap over deeper mineralization.

Prior to this announcement 21 zones of structurally controlled gold mineralization had been identified in the La Fortuna gold district on structures with an aggregate lineal distance of approximately 20 kilometers.

The precious metal mineralization discovered to date is dominantly of gold, however, silver is locally important. PIMA and petrographic work indicates that gold mineralization is epithermal in character and suggests a distinct regional zonation in the styles of mineralization from north to south within the district.

To date, three gold deposits have been discovered (T-11, G and Amphitheatre). A deep penetrating resistivity survey (CSAMT) identified large resistive bodies, possibly gold mineralized quartz veins/breccias, lying immediately beneath the T-11 and G deposits. These resistive bodies may also be the roots of the high grade gold veins - changes in the character and grade of the gold mineralization can be expected deeper in the mineralizing system. These high impact targets beneath the T-11 and G deposits will be tested, at depths of between 200m to 400m.

Since the initial gold discovery in 2006 a total of 244 diamond drill holes have been drilled on 20 of the 21 gold deposits/zones in the La Fortuna gold project on a broad spacing (to size the project). The wide spaced drilling intersected gold mineralization in every zone and indicates significant potential in every zone

Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. - Cerro Delta Project, Argentina

Wednesday January 21, 12:05 pm ET VANCOUVER, Jan. 21 /CNW/ - Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL - News; the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its Cerro Delta Project, La Rioja Province, Argentina. 

The Company is currently awaiting approval of its environmental impact study (EIS) for the upcoming diamond drilling program on the project. Company and Government officials are presently on site and drilling will commence once...all permits have been received. 

Cerro Delta is a porphyry gold-copper system. The company has recently received and reviewed the completed geophysical report on the Pole-Dipole IP/Resistivity and Ground Magnetic Surveys completed by Quantec Geoscience Argentina S.A. The new imagery clearly shows large scale porphyry and associated structural targets coincident with anomalous surface gold values. 

Drill targets have been selected for testing with widely spaced holes. Once the broad extent of the system has been established a tighter drill spacing will be used to establish the distribution of higher and lower grade mineralization in the system. The Cerro Delta project is located in the Maricunga gold district of Chile/Argentina (42 million ounces of gold discovered to date). The drill targets lie on the same structure that hosts the Cerro Casale deposit, which is located approximately 20 km to the west. 

According to Barrick Gold Corporation the Cerro Casale deposit is one of the world's largest undeveloped gold and copper deposits. A pre-feasibility study on Cerro Casale is expected by about mid-2009. (Ref.: http://www.barrick.com/GlobalOperations/Projects/CerroCasale/default.aspx
