Golden Chalice Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GCR) ("The Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced exploration work on its Timmins West project, focusing on a number of known porphyries on the property. Initial exploration will focus on one of the central porphyries, where historic testing shows it is geochemically similar to the Pearl Lake Porphyry in Timmins. The Pearl Lake porphyry is associated with the McIntyre and Hollinger gold mines in Timmins. The two mines jointly produced more than 25 million ounces of gold.

"We staked the Timmins West Property because the geology is a mirror image to that of the Timmins Mining Camp," comments Company President, John Keating. "Fortunately for us, the Timmins West Property has received very limited exploration in the past because the area is almost entirely covered by a veneer of overburden that hides potential gold deposits. Our large land package has the potential to host multiple gold deposits similar to those in the Timmins and the Lakeshore Gold-West Timmins areas. In addition to gold, we are also assessing potential development opportunities, including possible partners, for the Radio Hill Iron-Ore Deposit on the Timmins West Property."

Making up the western extension of the Timmins West property, is the Radio Hill Iron-Ore project. Non NI 43-101 resource compliant estimates done in the 1960's estimated the potential for up to 420 million tons of 25.78% soluble iron to a depth of about 300 metres. Historic metallurgical tests indicate the potential to produce 63 to 65% iron concentrate.

The magnetite rich iron formation forms a topographical high and is reported to cover an area over 2 km long with a maximum width of approximately 500 meters. Previous drilling has only tested the iron formation to a vertical depth of 400 meters and historic reports indicate the potential for the mineralization to continue at depth. In addition to the Radio Hill occurrence, the Timmins West land package also hosts over 40 km of the Nat River iron formation that can be explored for iron-ore potential.

The Radio Hill Iron-Ore project is accessible by paved highway and gravel secondary road. The Kukatush railroad siding of the Canadian National Railroad is 3 km along an existing road from the Radio Hill Iron Ore occurrence. Hydroelectric power, water, and natural gas are also available in the area. The property was last worked and explored in the 1960s by Kukatush Mining Corporation.
