White Pine Resources (TSX VENTURE:WPR) ("White Pine") (formerly WSR Resources),
Noront Resources (TSX VENTURE:NOT) ("Noront") and Golden Valley Mines (TSX
VENTURE:GZZ) ("Golden Valley") - A new zinc-copper volcanogenic massive sulphide
("VMS") discovery has been reported from recent drilling from the McFauld's lake
joint venture project along the "Ring of Fire" in the James Bay Lowlands. The
following news release has been prepared by joint venture partner and program
operator White Pine.


The 'Luc Bourdon' and 'Bourdon West' properties (a combined 8,944 hectares) were
staked by Golden Valley in the 'Ring of Fire' in the spring of 2008. This ground
was subsequently optioned to White Pine and Noront in August 2008, whereas White
Pine and Noront could equally earn a combined undivided 70% of the property by
incurring expenditures of $5 million within 3 years of the agreement date. White
Pine is the operator of the joint venture.


In the fall of 2008, an airborne VTEM geophysics program was completed over the
properties, which outlined several high priority drill targets. Drilling
recently commenced in late April on these geophysical anomalies. To date, 5
holes have been completed on the G1 anomaly which has intersected massive
sulphides with visible zinc and copper minerals. Downhole intervals of the
massive sulphides vary from 45cm to 24.1m. The true width and extent of the zone
is unknown at this time. Details of the drilling program thus far are tabled
below:

The current exploration program is managed by White Pine for the Joint Venture
partners under supervision of Mike Kilbourne, P.Geo, President, White Pine
Resources Inc. He is a "Qualified Person" in accordance with National Instrument

On-site Quality Assurance/Quality Control Measures

All samples have been shipped to ACTLABS preparation laboratory in Thunder Bay
Ontario. Analyses will be performed in the ACTLABS laboratory in Ancaster,
Ontario. All core samples were selected by the White Pine site geologist, and
were cut in half by diamond core saw. Individual samples were labeled, placed in
plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples were then placed into durable
rice bags that were secured by project security tags for shipping. The remaining
coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage at the ACTLABS
preparation laboratory storage facility in Thunder Bay as required in the event
that further work is needed.


Independent Quality Assurance and Quality Control Protocol

A QA/QC program has been implemented to monitor all assays from the current
drilling program. Samples are assembled in numbered batches of 35 samples.
Included in each batch of 35 samples are two certified reference standards, two
laboratory duplicates, one blank sample comprised of sterile drill core and one
core duplicate sample. This QC program was set up for White Pine Resources by
Tracy Armstrong, P.Geo, of T.J. Armstrong Geological Consulting Inc. Ms.
Armstrong is a qualified geologist in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.


About Golden Valley Mines Ltd.: Golden Valley Mines typically tests initial
grassroots targets while owning a 100% interest and then seeks partners to
continue exploration funding. This allows the Company to continue its generative
programs and systematic exploration efforts at other majority-owned grassroots
projects. As of May 13, 2009, the Company holds majority property interests in
155 projects consisting of 4,420 mining titles (255,904 hectares) in Quebec,
Ontario and Saskatchewan.
