mineral deposit database. Much of the technical support and geological
understanding of the ongoing Yukon gold rush can be attributed to the Yukon
Geological Survey's Mineral Services Branch, which has flourished under
Mike's leadership. We are extremely proud that at this pivotal point in his
career Mike has decided to move forward with Golden Predator and our goal of
becoming a leader in gold exploration and development in the Yukon."

Added Mike Burke, "My experience with the Yukon Geological Survey has
allowed me to work with geologists who are amongst the best in the world. The
prospectors, industry geologists and companies that I have worked with in the
Yukon are second to none as exemplified by their determination and resounding
success that is fuelling the current exploration boom and opening of new
mines in the Yukon. I have decided to return to the private sector and look
forward with great anticipation to joining Golden Predator and its commitment
to the pre-eminent mining jurisdiction of the Yukon. I share their enthusiasm
and believe their quality projects, excellent technical team and proven
management offer an exceptional opportunity to create a truly dynamic 'Yukon'
