Golden Predator Intercepts 25.91 m of 2.59 g/t Gold Including 9.15 m of 5.64 g/t Gold at Clear Creek Property, Yukon

Vancouver, British Columbia, September 7, 2010: Golden Predator Corp. (TSX: GPD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results from its diamond and reverse circulation drilling programs on its Clear Creek Project.

Clear Creek
To date the Company has drilled 4 HQ oriented core diamond drill holes totaling 1,054 m and 38 RC drill holes totaling 2,589 m on four separate target areas at its Clear Creek Property. Results for 1 diamond drill hole and 7 of the RC drill holes on the Bear Paw Breccia zone have now been received and analyzed. A detailed plan map and drill hole results table is available for viewing at the Company�s website

Highlights of the drill results are included in the table below. Of particular significance are the results that were returned from RC Hole # CC10-07, with an intercept of 1.87 g/t Au over 42.68 m starting at 1.52 m depth, including higher grade intervals of 2.59 g/t Au over 25.91 m starting at 10.67 m depth and 5.64 g/t Au over 9.15 m starting at 16.76 m depth.

The Company�s Clear Creek property, located 65 km northwest of Mayo, comprises 300 contiguous quartz claims covering approximately 60 km2 in an active placer mining area that has produced more than 129,000 oz Au to date (Allen et al., 1999).

Anomalous gold values in soil and rock on the Clear Creek property are associated with mid-Cretaceous aged Tombstone plutonic suite granitic stocks and the Bear Paw breccia zone. Previously identified mineralization is associated with sheeted veins in and around the stocks as well as with hydrothermal breccias, which are spatially, and possibly temporally, related to the intrusve rocks. The Company�s 2010 diamond and RC drilling at Clear Creek focused on further exploring the Bear Paw zone, the Contact zone, the Saddle zone and the Josephine area of the Property. No work was planned this year on the Rhosbegobel zone where Kennecott had previously identified an uneconomic gold resource through shallow RC drilling. These targets are arrayed in a 7 km north south arc approximately two kilometers apart.

The drill program at the Bear Paw zone was designed to test the NE-SW trend of a 1 km long by 250 m wide Au-As soil anomaly. Oriented core of diamond drill holes CC10-01 and CC10-02 was used to enhance the understanding of the structural controls on mineralization. Twelve RC holes were completed on the Bear Paw zone for a total of 662 m. Results from the remaining holes drilled at the Bear Paw zone are pending. Difficult ground conditions prevented all of the RC holes from reaching their target depth. The RC holes achieved only an average 31% of target depth. Based on these substantial results, the company is planning on utilizing appropriate equipment next year that will be able to reach targeted depths.

Sampling Methodology, Quality Control and Assurance
The diamond drill holes were drilled by skid mounted drills utilizing HQ, NQ, and NTW core sizes (6.4 cm/2.5", 4.8 cm/1.87" and 5.6 cm/2.2", respectively). Core is cut or split and one half is sent to the lab for analysis and the other half retained on site.

The RC drill holes were drilled by track mounted drills that produce a 5" (12.7 cm) diameter drill hole. Samples were collected from 1/8th of the material from a 5 ft (1.5 m) interval utilizing a splitter incorporated on the cyclone.

Both the RC samples and core samples were sent to ALS Chemex�s prep lab in Whitehorse and then forwarded to their ISO 9001 certified preparation facility in Terrace, B.C. The pulps were analyzed at ALS�s ISO 9001 certified laboratory in Vancouver. Approximately 5% of the pulps are sent for secondary check assays at Stewart Groups Eco Tech laboratory in Kamloops, B.C. Blanks, commercial standards and duplicate samples were included in each batch. To determine Au levels at the ppb level detection limit 5-10,000 ppb (5-1000 ppb at Stewart Group)) 30 g samples are fire assayed then digested in aqua regia solution and analyzed by atomic absorption. At Eco Tech, values over 1,000 ppb are re-assayed by fire assay and then digested with aqua regia and then re-analyzed by an atomic absorption instrument (detection limit 0.03 g/t). At ALS Chemex, values over 10 g/t gold are re-assayed by fire assay followed by a gravimetric finish (50 ppb lower detection limit).

Other elements are analyzed by a 35 elements package (ME-ICP41) whereby the sample is dissolved in a aqua regia acid solution and then analyzed by ICP. Additional check-analyses are carried out by the lab which did not receive the original sample.

Drilling Sampling Protocol / Chain of Custody/Data Verification
Golden Predator employs high standards of protocol with respect to the handling and chain of custody of its samples. All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company�s project geologist and the chain of custody from the drill to the sample preparation and logging facility is continually monitored by the project geologist. Samples are shipped to the lab by qualified couriers or Company personnel under locked bags with independent identification lock numbers. Data verification of the analytical results includes a statistical analysis of the duplicates, standards and blanks that must pass certain set parameters for acceptance to insure accurate and verifiable results. All assays are reported as drilled intervals and are not to be interpreted as true widths.
