Olympic Resources (TSX VENTURE:OLA) and YES Exploration Syndicate announce
results of the work program conducted in September and October of 2011 (the
"Program") on the 3,931 hectare MAX Property (the "Property"), situated on the
northern rim of the Carmacks Caldera, a newly discovered 60km x 100km volcanic
related subsidence structure formed in the late Cretaceous period and visible in
Landsat images. The central part of the caldera is a low-lying unglaciated area
of the Yukon Plateau.


The Property is situated approximately 10 km west of the high grade Mt. Nansen
gold-silver mine (556,500 tonnes grading 11.93 g/t gold and 211 g/t silver).
Whitehorse, the regional center for supplies and personnel, is located 198 km
southwest of the Property.


The principal targets on the Property are epithermal gold-silver and/or porphyry
copper-gold deposits. Historic work conducted by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. from
1984 - 1987 identified VLF-EM structures and quartz stringers in altered
rhyolite porphyry with rock samples returning less than 0.005 to 1.65 ppm gold. 


2011 Program Highlights



--  853 geochemical soil samples concentrated in the southern and western
    sections and covering approximately 40% of the Property; 
--  3 rock samples, along with approximately 2 km of prospecting and
    reconnaissance geological traverses on the Property; 
--  Gold values in soils ranged from less than 0.005 to 0.069 ppm and silver
    ranged from less than 0.1 to 4.7 ppm. Seven soil gold values, ranging
    from 0.05 to 0.069 ppm, are in the 99th percentile. (All soil results
    from YES Yukon work programs carried out in 2011 were statistically
    analysed. Values in the 99th percentile represent the top 1% of all soil
    results (returned). 
--  The Property has similar lithological similarities to the nearby Mt.
    Nansen gold deposits; and 
--  Significant gold in soil values, which are concentrated in the southern
    portion of the Property, are closely associated with silver and arsenic
    values.



Additional work for the property is planned for the 2012 exploration season. The
objective of the recommended work programs is to outline potentially economic
gold mineralization on the Property.


The recommended programs have been divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2 work. Phase
1 work consists of continued soil sampling, geological mapping, and a
geophysical ground magnetic survey. The estimated cost is $510,000.


Phase 2 work is contingent upon Phase 1 work identifying suitable targets. Work
would include, trenching, shallow drilling, a geophysical IP survey, and diamond
drilling to test targets at depth. The estimated cost is $1,160,000.


Edward D. Harrington, B.Sc (Geology) and P.Geo supervised the work program for
2011 on the Property and has read and approved the technical content in this
