THUNDER BAY – Business – Golden Share Mining Corporation has announced the company has acquired a 100% interest in its Shebandowan Gold Project located in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The project consists in three adjacent properties, the Pistol Lake, Conacher and Band Ore properties, forming one unified and continuous land package. The resulting entity is referred to as the “Shebandowan Gold Project”.

Shebandowan Gold Project

President and Chief Executive Officer Philippe Giaro stated, “We are very pleased to have completed the acquisition of our 100% interest in the Shebandowan Gold Project. We now have 100% ownership of this strategic 78 km² land package comprising 150,699 ounces of gold in Inferred Resources* and 251,271 ounces of gold in Historical Resources. We believe that securing such a high potential asset in a politically stable jurisdiction, within the heart of an emerging gold province where Osisko Mining Corporation is currently developing the Hammond Reef gold deposit in excess of 10 million ounces of gold, brings excellent fundamental value to the Company. The Shebandowan Gold Project is endowed with extremely good infrastructure comprising a railroad line, a high tension power line and the Trans-Canada highway, and is ideally positioned for cost effective exploration and development”.

In June 2011, Golden Share signed a definitive purchase agreement with Lake Shore Gold Corp. and acquired a 100% interest in the Band Ore property.

In October 2012, Golden Share completed its option on Pistol Lake resulting in the acquisition of its 100% interest in this second property.

As announced earlier this week, Golden Share has now proceeded with the last payment of the remaining Conacher property and has therefore also acquired its 100% interest in this third property thereby completing the full 100% acquisition of the Shebandowan Gold Project.

Further securing this important asset, Golden Share filed assessment work representing a total of $2,350,000 in exploration expenditures with Ontario’s Ministry of Northern Development and Mines in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company thereby secured 85% of the total surface area of the project until at least 2026, and notably the key resource areas and their extensions as well as all anomalous gold corridors.
