Granite Creek Gold Ltd. ("the Company") (TSX VENTURE:GCX) is pleased to announce
that it's entering into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the 75
sq km "Darsalam" Gold Concession ("the Concession") located in western Mali. The
Concession is located on the eastern margin of the prospective Birimian Gold
belt, approximately 100km southwest of Kenieba, an important regional mining
center, and 300km west of Bamako, the Malian capital.    


The Concession is being acquired for 45,000,000 FCFA, which equates to
approximately CDN$93,000 at today's exchange rate. Payments will be made over a
4 year period with the Company having no obligation to continue payments should
the property not warrant further exploration. In addition to the cash payment,
the Company agrees to issue 500,000 shares to the vendor over a three year
period with the first issuance due upon TSX Venture approval of the transaction.
  


Limited drilling by previous operators on the Concession identified two
mineralized zones, a northern and southern zone. The best reported result on the
northern zone was 1.048 g/t over 8m, and the best results on the southern zone
returned 1.088 g/t over 8m and 0.780 g/t over 10m. The Company's Malian
geological team reports extensive artisanal mining on the Concession. Artisanal
mining takes place in loose gravels and saprolite, a highly weathered and easily
mined layer of rock. This basic hand mining is seen as an important indicator of
potential economic mineralization in the Birimian as elevated gold levels in the
saprolite can indicate an increased potential in the underlying rock.


With Malian Presidential elections scheduled for July 28, the Company believes
that this is an excellent time to be acquiring gold concessions in Mali. This
project, coupled with the Company's Koussikoto Ouest project, gives the Company
an excellent base to develop its operations in the country. The Malian
Geological team will be encouraged to continue to evaluate projects and will be
initiating work a work program on the Concession as soon as possible.
