Golden Hope Mines had previously announced that it had investigated a large base metal sulphide target (3.5 km) with 8 diamond drill holes in late 2007. The Coucou is a volcanic complex with potential for VMS mineralization. Drilling intersected abundant sulphides but no economic grades of precious or base metals were found. A 2008 regional geophysical study done by Frank Glass, P. Geo, identified a more favourable area about 3 km to the south west of the original target.

Activation Laboratories Limited have developed a soil gas hydrocarbon technique that is capable of detecting gold and base metals to depths in excess of 200 meters. The company have employed this method and located four gold and base metal anomalies in the new FSG Area.

The results are extremely encouraging and copies of the reports are posted on our web sites home page at www.goldenhopemines.com.

Golden Hope Mines, weather permitting, will begin working on these new targets as soon as the hunting season delay is over in early November, 2009. The anomalies will be stripped, trenched, blasted and sampled.

"We are very excited about this new highly prospective area for Golden Hope Mines. The data are so encouraging that we do not want to delay our aggressive sampling program which will begin in a few weeks. We were always very interested in this particular area and we now believe that we were simply a few kilometers away from where we should have been looking all along." states Frank Candido, President, Golden Hope Mines Ltd.

Golden Hope Mines continues its large bulk sampling program on its wholly owned Bellechasse (Timmins) Gold Deposit. The program is progressing very quickly and results are expected at the end of 2009 or early 2010. Golden Hope Mines is working toward developing reliable grade data that will permit preparation of resource estimates. Pictures from the bulk sampling program have been posted on the company's web site at www.goldenhopemines.com/gallery.php.
