Golden Odyssey Mining Inc.: Mexican Hill Geologic Program Completed
Golden Odyssey Mining Inc. has completed the geologic mapping and sampling program on its Mexican Hill project on the Carlin Trend in Elko County, Nevada. The project is located 40 miles south of Carlin, Nevada and is approximately 35 miles southwest and on trend with Newmont’s Rain and Emigrant Springs deposits.
The work has confirmed a structural – stratigraphic setting similar to that of the Rain District where the contact of the Chainman shale and Devils Gate limestones represent a regionally permissive host horizon. Significant ore deposits occur where this horizon is intersected by high angle mineralizing structures. Soil sampling at Mexican Hill has also returned subtle geochemical distributions of arsenic, antimony, zinc and barium which are typical of the distal portions of the Rain system. Using the Rain deposit as an exploration model, the Company has designed a two phase drill program consisting of 13 holes for a total footage of 9,100 feet. Drill permit applications have been submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and are expected to be approved shortly.
The geologic mapping and soil sample collection has been completed by E.L. “Buster” Hunsacker III, an independent qualified person under the definition of NI 43-101. Soil samples were analyzed at Inspectorate America Corporation Labs in Reno, Nevada.

In other news, the Company has regretfully accepted the resignation of Douglas Stuve as a director. Mr. Stuve was instrumental in bringing the Company public in 2004 and has been a director since its founding. Time constraints have forced him to resign from several directorships in addition to Golden Odyssey. His legal firm, Burstall Winger LLC, will remain as the Company’s solicitors.
