LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Golden Patriot, Corp. ("Golden Patriot") (OTCBB:GPTC) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange:GPU) is extremely pleased to announce that it has been informed by the operator that Phase 1 of drilling operations have now been completed on the past producing Lucky Boy uranium mine. All samples are warehoused in Globe, Arizona, and are being sorted for delivery to the Tucson prep lab, Jacob Laboratories. All prep samples will then be shipped to the affiliated lab, IPL of Richmond, British Columbia, who will conduct all assaying, with check assays conducted by ALS Chemex and/or Acme Laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Nick Barr, Project Geologist, is now preparing a summary of the approximate 600 samples taken from the drill program. Mr. Barr reports that Phase 1 of the drill program has been successful in determining various grades of 2lbs/ton and greater, with widths of 10 to 20 feet in a number of drill-holes on the property based on scintilometer readings of the samples, and observations of the anomalous thickness, by him, on site. The chemical assays and correlated down-hole probe radiometrics will give the definitive results and determine the next phase of drilling to further define the ore body.
Results are expected to be available within a number of weeks. A full report with conclusions and recommendations will follow shortly thereafter.
Mr. Brad Rudman, President of Golden Patriot states, "The next few weeks will be exciting for Golden Patriot's management and shareholders as we will be testing the samples taken from our completed drill program on our past producing uranium mine, and with uranium prices at $56/pound and at 25 year highs, Golden Patriot Corp. is well positioned in this booming market."
