GOLD CANYON INTERCEPTS 286 METERS AT 1.03 GRAMS PER TONNE GOLD
CONFIRMING NORTHEAST DIP OF PORTAGE ZONE AT SPRINGPOLE GOLD PROJECT
Gold Canyon Resources Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: GCU
http://www.stockwatch.com/Quote/Detail.aspx?action=go&symbol=GCU®ion=C&lookup=symbol&snapshot=default
) ("Gold Canyon" or "the Company") is pleased to announce hole SP11-071
intersected 286 meters at 1.03 gram per tonne gold (938 feet at 0.030 oz
per ton gold) including 197 meters at 1.30 grams per tonne gold (646
feet at 0.038 oz per ton) at its 100% controlled Springpole Gold
Project, located 110 kilometers northeast of the Red Lake Mining Camp,
Ontario, Canada. The intercept encountered in this hole indicates that
the Portage Zone dips northeast at approximately -70 degrees and remains
open at depth.
Diamond drill hole SP11-071 intersected 286 meters at 1.03 gram per
tonne gold (938 feet at 0.030 oz per ton gold) including 197 meters at
1.30 grams per tonne gold (646 feet at 0.038 oz per ton). This hole,
situated on the 0+00 meter section, is oriented at 220 degrees true
north with an inclination of -60 degrees. The drill hole undercuts
previous drilling on this section including hole SP10-024 (225 meters at
1.48 grams per tonne gold announced in a news release dated November 23,
2010). The intercept encountered in SP11-071 indicates that the Portage
Zone dips northeast at approximately -70 degrees and remains open at
depth.
Previous to drilling hole SP11-071, the Portage Zone was believed to dip
at approximately -75 degrees southwest with a true width estimated at
about 140 meters. The newly interpreted geometry results in a true
thickness of approximately 220 meters in this area.
The Company has plans to step back and drill under hole SP11-071 to
further evaluate the continuation of the Portage Zone at depth. Drilling
is underway along strike from this intercept to the southeast where it
is believed mineralization should continue.
"Earlier this year, we tested the depth extension of the Portage Zone by
drilling hole SP11-063 from the southwest shore to the northeast,"
states Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical Advisor to and Director of Gold
Canyon Resources. "As it turns out, that hole drilled down the southwest
margin of the deposit encountering its low grade fringe. Hole SP11-071
clearly indicates the deposit dips northeast, is wider than previously
thought, and remains open at depth."

Weighted averages were used to calculate all reported intervals
Reported intervals apply a 0.2 gram per tonne gold (0.006 oz per ton
gold) lower cutoff
Internal dilution within reported intervals does not exceed core lengths
of 5 meters.
1 troy oz = 31.103 grams
Conversion factor - grams per tonne to troy oz per short ton; g/t
divided by 34.2857 or g/t multiplied by 0.0292
1 meter = 3.28 feet
Core was logged then split using diamond saws with one half sent for
analyses and the other half stored for future reference. Quality control
programs include the use of field and laboratory duplicates, standards,
blanks, and internal and external check assaying. Certified sample
standards were submitted with the normal sample stream. Gold and silver
assays were completed by SGS Canada Inc. in Red Lake and Toronto,
Ontario using a 30 gram charge, fire assay, with an ICP finish. For over
limit assay results, initial assays in excess of 10.0 grams per tonne
Au, a gravimetric finish is utilized.
Operational Update
The numerous forest fires in the area that caused delays earlier this
summer have diminished. Two barge-based and two land-based drills are
currently operating on site and will continue through freeze-up, likely
in early November. Approximately 4,000 meters of core have been drilled
so far this summer, and it is expected that the drills should produce
around 10,000 meters of core, somewhat less than the 12,000 meters that
was originally planned. Holes drilled this summer are expected to allow
the Company to revise the 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the
deposit sometime late in the second half of 2011.
About Springpole
Springpole is an alkaline intrusion hosting a gold system that
represents a potentially new style of Canadian Archean Shield gold
deposit. The Portage zone is hosted by a trachytic porphyry intrusion
displaying polyphase autolithic breccias that host gold mineralization.
Other zones including the East Extension, Camp and Main, consist of
high-grade veins and pods hosted in diatreme breccias composed of
intrusive and country rock fragments. These breccias surround the
northwest and northern margins of the Portage Zone. The known
mineralized zones underlie a total known area of about 4 square
kilometers representing only about 15 percent of the greater alkaline
intrusive complex which remains yet to be explored.
