GNH Golden Hope Mines Limited

Golden Hope Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: GNH)(PINK SHEETS: GOLHF) is pleased to announce the results of geochemical analysis on the Timmins extensions in Bellechasse Township, southern Quebec. The geochemical survey tested areas on strike of the known T1 and T2 mineralized zones for 250 metres to the northeast and 250 metres to the southwest. The third area investigated lies to the north and northeast of the Ascot vein, and the fourth about 500m south-southeast of T1.

All four areas returned good to strong gold indicator responses. Four anomalies suggest extension of zones known from stripping and diamond drilling. An additional 8 to 10 anomalies require further investigation. These include five in previously unexplored grounds that indicate possible mineralized structures parallel to the T1 and T2 zones.

Golden Hope Mines Limited has also completed collecting soil samples in the second phase of a soil gas hydrocarbon survey adjacent to the Timmins gold prospect. The samples are currently being processed and results are pending.

The just completed sampling fills in between the original four test areas and gives partial coverage over the known mineralized zones where soil has not been removed. This work will generate data to define the extensions of anomalies indicated by the first phase of the program and test for others. The new map can be viewed on the companies web site at www.goldenhopemines.com.

Frank Candido, President, Golden Hope Mines Limited states "These geochemical results not only indicate that the known zones extend along strike both to the northeast and to the southwest, but suggest an excellent potential for discovery of additional parallel zones. Results of the first phase of the program have given several targets for trenching and diamond drilling which will begin when the equipment presently working on the FSG area becomes available."
