VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – October 17, 2016) – Golden Predator Mining Corp. (TSXV:GPY) is pleased to announce the start of its drill program at the 3 Aces Project in Canada’s Yukon. The drilling contract was awarded to a unique progressive joint venture between Boart Longyear and the Liard First Nation.

3 Aces Drill Program
The drill program is intended to test high grade mineralization exposed in a number of trenches along strike and down dip in the Ace of Spades zone and the Jack of Spades zone, and from additional mineralized veins in the Spades, Hearts and Clubs areas. Together, the Clubs, Diamond, Hearts and Spades areas encompass approximately 10.5 km2.

- 11.43 m of 31.89 g/t gold from a depth of 12.80 m
- 6.40 m of 13.80 g/t gold from a depth of 22.55 m
