About Golden Hope:
Golden Hope is a mineral
exploration company that seeks to grow shareholder value through
the acquisition, exploration and development of potentially large-
scale gold and base metal projects suitable for underground and/or
open-pit mining. The Company's focus is in southeastern Québec,
Canada. The Company's claim blocks
lie within an area that extends approximately 100 kilometres along
the Appalachians of southern Québec from near Ste-Lucie-de- Beauregard to approximately 16
kilometres southwest of Beauceville. The Bellechasse-Timmins gold
deposit lies 5 kilometres southeast of St-Magloire within the Bellechasse Belt, an
approximately 18 kilometre long mineralized area. The
Bellechasse-Timmins gold deposit includes the T1, T2A, T2B,
Ascot/Road gold zones, and the 88 Diorite. The Company is also
looking to develop the Champagne zone, a partially explored base
metal and gold deposit that lies within the Company's Bellechasse
Belt claims. A recently completed VTEM survey may identify other
similar targets along the horizon. The Company is also working to
develop other targets within its claim blocks including the FSG
gold and base metal target, Chute du Bras, the LG showing, Moose
Cliff, and Talon. For further information on Golden Hope please visit
