Gold Canyon Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GCU)(PINK SHEETS: GDCRF)
("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.
