Gold Canyon Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GCU)(PINK SHEETS: GDCRF)
("Gold Canyon" or "the Company") is pleased to announce hole
SP11-066 intersected 24 meters at 17.48 grams per tonne gold (79
feet at 0.510 oz per ton gold) including 6 meters at 52.60 grams
per tonne gold (20 feet at 1.536 oz per ton gold) at its 100%
controlled Springpole Gold Project, located 110 kilometers
northeast of the Red Lake Mining Camp, Ontario, Canada.

-- Diamond drill hole SP11-066 intersected 24 meters at 17.48 grams per
tonne gold (79 feet at 0.510 oz per ton gold) including 6 meters at
52.60 grams per tonne gold (20 feet at 1.536 oz per ton gold). Applying
a 1 oz per ton (34.29 grams per tonne) top cut, these intervals are 24
meters at 10.31 grams per tonne gold (79 feet at 0.301 oz per ton gold)
including 6 meters at 29.45 grams per tonne gold (20 feet at 0.859 oz
per ton gold). This hole was collared along the southwest margin of the
East Extension Zone and drilled at an azimuth of 020 degrees true north
with a -45 degree inclination. Remaining un-assayed core from this hole
will be submitted for metallurgical testing to characterize ore from the
East Extension Zone.
-- Diamond drill hole SP11-067 intersected 39 meters at 2.93 grams per
tonne gold (128 feet at 0.086 oz per ton gold) including 1 meter at
39.73 grams per tonne gold (3 feet at 1.160 oz per ton gold). This hole
was collared from the same pad as SP11-066, but was drilled at an
azimuth of 040 degrees true north with a -45 degree inclination.
-- Holes SP11-066 and -067 tested an area where historic drill holes
reportedly encountered similar mineralization. Some nearby historic
holes were selectively sampled and, in several cases, core is now
missing from these holes. Holes SP11-066 and -067 confirm results in
this area; they also demonstrate overall better continuity of
mineralization when compared to historic data and will be used for
future resource calculations.
"We are very pleased to confirm high grades at shallow depth in
the East Extension Zone," states Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical
Advisor to and Director of Gold Canyon. "Although East Extension is
a smaller target than the Portage Zone, it could potentially make a
good starter pit. Holes SP11-066 and -067 demonstrate good
continuity of high-grade mineralization along the southwest margin
of this deposit. These results coupled with the corridor of
near-surface mineralization that we discovered in drilling between
the Portage Zone and East Extension last summer suggest we might
ultimately be able to connect these two deposits."

-- Diamond drill hole SP11-064 was drilled from the southwest shore of
Springpole Bay on the +300 section at an azimuth of 040 degrees true
north and an inclination of -45 degrees. This hole encountered numerous
intervals of gold and silver mineralization as well as typical Portage
Zone style alteration, but appears to have followed the southwest margin
of the zone.
-- Based on 3-dimensional and geostatistical modelling of the results of
SP11-064 and other recent drill holes, it is now believed that the
Portage Zone dips moderately to steeply northeast as opposed to
southwest as previously believed. Holes SP11-070 and -071, part of the
summer-fall 2011 drill program, and both currently in progress, are
drilled from the northeast shore of Springpole Lake, adjacent to camp,
toward the southwest, and are designed to better test this newly
interpreted geometry. The results from both holes will be included in
future resource calculations.

series of metallurgical tests.
Operational Update
On August 1, a medium lift helicopter mounted drills on each of
the two barges currently on-site at Springpole. Availability of a
suitable helicopter to lift the drills onto the barges has been
hampered by the need of such aircraft to help fight extensive
forest fires that have erupted in NW Ontario since early July. Due
to this and other fire related issues, the Company's summer drill
program has experienced slower core production than planned. Dry
and warm weather conditions persist and the Springpole base camp
remains on high alert.
Two land-based drills have operated continuously at Springpole
since late June. These rigs are currently drilling holes SP11-070
and -071, both tests of the Portage Zone drilled from the northeast
shore of Springpole Lake. In addition, four metallurgical holes
have recently been completed and will undergo an extensive series
of metallurgical tests to be run over the next several months. With
the barge drills operational, the Company plans to keep four drills
operating through freeze-up, likely in early November. These rigs
should produce around 9,000 meters of core, which is less than the
12,000 meters that was originally planned. Holes drilled this
summer are expected to allow the Company to revise the 43-101
compliant resource estimate for the deposit sometime late in the
second half of 2011.
About Springpole
Springpole is an alkaline intrusion hosting a gold system that
represents a potentially new style of Canadian Archean Shield gold
deposit. The Portage zone is hosted by a trachytic porphyry
intrusion displaying polyphase autolithic breccias that host gold
mineralization. Other zones, including the East Extension, Camp and
Main, consist of high-grade veins and pods hosted in diatreme
breccias composed of intrusive and country rock fragments. These
breccias surround the northwest and northern margins of the Portage
Zone. The known mineralized zones underlie a total area of about 4
square kilometers representing only about 15 percent of the greater
alkaline intrusive complex which remains yet to be explored.
Core was logged then split using diamond saws with one half sent
for analyses and the other half stored for future reference.
Quality control programs include the use of field and laboratory
duplicates, standards, blanks, and internal and external check
assaying. Certified sample standards were submitted with the normal
sample stream. Gold and silver assays were completed by SGS Canada
Inc. in Red Lake and Toronto, Ontario using a 30 gram charge, fire
assay, with an ICP finish. For over limit assay results, initial
assays in excess of 10.0 grams per tonne Au, a gravimetric finish
is utilized.
