Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSX-V: GRG, FSE: GAC (WKN: A0B6XQ), "Golden Arrow" or the "Company") announces the completion of the 7 hole, 3695 m drill program by Vale Exploracion Argentina S.A. ("Vale") on the Company's Mogote copper-gold-silver porphyry/epithermal project in San Juan Province, Argentina. Vale's drilling has confirmed the existence of a copper porphyry system below the large and prominent steam leached alteration zone at the Zona Colorida.


"We are very pleased in being partnered with a quality organization like Vale," stated Joseph Grosso, President & CEO. "We look forward to continuing to work together on Mogote, a project that exhibits potential for a significant discovery in a new emerging district."


The 100% owned 83 km2 (8,300 ha) Mogote copper-gold-silver porphyry/epithermal project is centrally-located in the prolific Vicuna District of northern San Juan Province which includes NGEx Resources Inc.'s Jose Maria copper-gold deposit in Argentina and Goldcorp Inc./New Gold's El Morro gold-copper porphyry deposit in Chile. The Mogote property covers multiple large porphyry/epithermal targets. Included in the agreement with Vale are additional claims totaling 31 km2 (3,150 ha) on the Chilean side of the international border adjacent to Mogote to cover potential extensions to mineralized zones.


Zona Colorida


Five widely spaced drill holes were completed at Zona Colorida with an average depth of 575 m. All holes encountered a multi-phase porphyry system with long intervals of intense quartz-pyrite vein stockworks and classic porphyry alteration, containing low grade copper mineralization. The best drill intercept recorded was in hole MGT DH5, from 68 m to 118 m (50 m interval) that averaged 0.224% copper.


Filo Central


Only one hole (MGT DH06) reached target depth of 576 m at Filo Central. Two additional holes, MGT DH07 and DH07A, reached 59 m and 185 m meters respectively. MGT DH07A ended in anomalous mineralization, and would be a target for extension in the following season. From 90 m to the end of hole at 185 m MGT DH07A graded 0.147% copper.


Several other targets at Mogote remain to be drill tested in future, including Stockwork Hill, 5 km south of Zona Colorida. Golden Arrow looks forward to continuing to work with Vale on the Mogote project in the coming year.


Vale is earning a 70% interest in Golden Arrow's Mogote project by completing $US6.8 million in exploration expenditures and making $US2.3 million in cash payments to Golden Arrow over 3 years. (See September 9, 2010 News Release).


Vale has notified Golden Arrow of its intention to terminate its option on the Purulla project in Catamarca (which formed part of the Mogote-Purulla JV agreement). Subsequently, Golden Arrow has given formal notice to the Purulla property vendor that it has terminated its option to earn an interest in the property.


The technical information contained in this release has been prepared by Bruce Smith, Chartered Professional MAusIMM Geologist and Golden Arrow's Exploration Manager and has been reviewed by Dr. Gerald G. Carlson, Ph.D., P.Eng., Head of Exploration for Golden Arrow, both Qualified Persons (QP) as defined in National Instrument 43-101.


The technical data was provided to Golden Arrow by Vale and the work was completed professionally to a high standard. Bruce Smith (Golden Arrow's QP) visited Mogote during the drill program, took several duplicate samples of the first drill holes and also inspected Vale's operations and procedures on-site. Analyses of the drill core were performed by ALS Chile, an internationally recognized assay service provider. Vale followed industry standard procedures for the work carried out at Mogote, with a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. Blank, duplicate and standard samples were inserted into the drill core sample sequence sent to the laboratory for analysis. No significant QA/QC issues were detected during the review of the data.
