Golden Goose hits 16.88 g/t platinum over 0.50 metres in a 3.5-metre zone at its Lac Levac property - Thursday January 24, 3:28 pm ET MONTREAL, Jan. 24 /CNW Telbec/ -
Golden Goose Resources Inc. - (TSX-V: GGR - News; the "Company") is pleased to report that Hole 40-07 drilled last fall on its Lac Levac property has returned an intersection of 2.64 g/t platinum (Pt) over 3.5 metres, including 16.88 g/t of Pt over 0.5 m. The Lac Levac property - is wholly-owned by - Golden Goose - and lies in the James Bay area of northern Quebec.
Hole 40-07 was drilled on the main area of the NISK-1(x) anomaly. Detailed assay results are as follows:
Hole From To Length Ni Cu Co Pt Pd No. (m) (m) (m) % % % (g/t) (g/t) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40-07 243.5 247.0 3.5 0.70 0.21 0.04 2.64 1.59 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Including : 246.5 247.0 0.5 0.87 0.17 0.05 16.88 0.61 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyses were done by Accurassay Laboratories, Thunder Bay, Ontario. All samples are tested using a full scan ICP following an Aqua-Regia digestion. Ore grade samples are then reanalyzed by atomic absorption. Pt and Pd are tested by Fire Assay using lead collection.
"While up until now we have considered the Lac Levac property primarily as a nickel play, this exceptional result is leading us to take a fresh look at the property in terms of its platinum potential," said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President of Golden Goose. The Company is also analyzing the palladium (Pd) mineralization of the eastern extension of the NISK-1 anomaly. While palladium grades in the main section of the anomaly generally average about 0.8 g/t, results for the eastern extension are showing an average of 2.19 g/t Pd. The best result to date is in Hole 47-07, which returned an intersection of 3.24 g/t Pd over 8.0 metres, including a section of 3.44 g/t of Pt over 1.5 metres. Detailed results for Hole 47-07 are as follows:
Hole From To Length Ni Cu Co Pt Pd No. (m) (m) (m) % % % (g/t) (g/t) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 47-07 153.70 161.70 8.00 1.03 0.72 0.05 0.91 3.24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Including: 159.70 161.20 1.50 1.04 1.28 0.05 3.44 5.39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional results from the fall drilling program are being compiled and will be released in the next few days. The Lac Levac drilling programs are planned and supervised by Marc-Antoine Beaupré, a geological engineer and the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He has approved the contents of this press release.

Golden Goose hits 18.5 metres of 1.22% nickel at its Lac Levac property Tuesday January 29, 1:54 pm ET MONTREAL, Jan. 29 /CNW Telbec/ -
Golden Goose Resources Inc. - (TSX-V: GGR - News; the "Company") is pleased to report additional results from fall drilling at its wholly-owned - Lac Levac nickel property - in the James Bay area, 216 km north of Chibougamau in northern Quebec.
The latest assays are among the final results from the 7,150-metre fall program recommended in the 43-101 report dated July 2007. Completed in December 2007, this program primarily targeted the NISK-1 anomaly(x) and its newly-discovered eastern extension.
"These new results are very encouraging," said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President of Golden Goose.
"Hole 25-07 returned the widest intercept seen for the zone to date, and Hole 32-07 cut mineralization that extends right up to surface."
"Based on the initial four holes drilled on the eastern extension, this newly-identified area appears to contain similar nickel grades to the main area, with higher and more significant platinum and palladium mineralization," he added.
The new results are as follows, with previously-reported results shown below for reference: (True width not yet determined)

The fall drill data is being used to update the NI 43-101-compliant evaluation report and resource estimate dated July 2007, which showed the NISK-1 anomaly to contain an indicated resource of 516,000 tonnes at 0.89% nickel, 0.39% copper, 0.06% cobalt, 0.79 g/t palladium and 0.14 g/t platinum and an inferred resource of 734,000 tonnes at 0.89% nickel, 0.34% copper, 0.06% cobalt, 0.77 g/t palladium and 0.14 g/t platinum.
Meanwhile, the Company plans to continue delineating and upgrading the NISK-1 resource. "The 2008 drilling program, which will total about 10,000 metres, is still being finalized and will get underway next week," confirmed Mr. Lacoste. "We have not yet tested the extension of the NISK-1 mineralization at depth, which we consider to be a very high-potential target."
The Lac Levac drilling programs are planned and supervised by Marc-Antoine Beaupré, a geological engineer and the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He has approved the contents of this press release.

Representing over 700,000 ounces of gold. The resource lies in the area below the old Magino mine workings, at a depth of from 200 to 600 metres. The estimate is mainly based on drilling carried out since the beginning of 2006 that identified some 76 separate mineralized zones, all of which remain open at depth and along strike. The estimation method used was polygons on longitudinal section for each zone, designed based on the future underground mining potential.
<< Innovexplo resource estimate targets new area, supplements previously known resource >> MONTREAL, May 29 /CNW Telbec/ -
Golden Goose Resources Inc. - (TSX-V: GGR - News; the "Company") is pleased to report a new resource estimate for its wholly-owned Magino Mine property, located 1.5 km southwest of the Richmont/Patricia Island Gold Mine, near Wawa, Ontario. The estimate complies with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Prepared by Innovexplo, an independent mining and exploration consulting firm based in Val-d'Or, Quebec, the new estimate shows an inferred resource of 3.75 million tonnes grading 5.94 g/t Au at a cut-off grade of 3 g/t Au, representing over 700,000 ounces of gold. The resource lies in the area below the old Magino mine workings, at a depth of from 200 to 600 metres. The estimate is mainly based on drilling carried out since the beginning of 2006 that identified some 76 separate mineralized zones, all of which remain open at depth and along strike. The estimation method used was polygons on longitudinal section for each zone, designed based on the future underground mining potential.
"We knew our drill results were excellent, but we are still extremely impressed by the size of the resource," said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden Goose. "These numbers clearly demonstrate the excellent potential of the property. We will now begin work on upgrading this Inferred Resource to the Indicated category in preparation for prefeasibility."
Depending on the cut-off grade used, the new estimate shows an inferred resource below the 200-metre level as follows:
Magino Project Innovexplo Inferred Mineral Resource
The Independent and Qualified Persons for the Mineral Resource estimates as defined by Regulation 43-101 are Carl Pelletier, B.Sc., P.Geo. and Bruno Turcotte, M.Sc., P.Geo. (InnovExplo Inc.), and the effective date of the estimate is May 23, 2008.
Notes:
- Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves having demonstrated economic viability. - Results are presented undiluted and in situ. The estimate included 76 gold-bearing zones and covers the Magino project area over 840 m E-W, 400 m N-S and from elevation -200m to -600m - The resources were compiled using a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au. This cut-off must be re-evaluated in the light of the present market conditions: gold price, exchange rate and mining cost. A fixed density of 2.87 g/cm3 was used. A minimum of 1.6 m true width was applied, using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed, or a value of zero when not assayed. High grade capping was done on the raw data and established at 40.0 g/t Au. No drill hole compositing was done. Resources were evaluated from drill hole results using a polygonal on longitudinal approach. - Calculations used metric units (meter, tonnes and g/t Au). - The company is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues that could materially affect the Mineral Resource estimates.
The new resource is in addition to a near-surface resource estimated by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Inc. in April 2004. Snowden estimated measured and indicated resources of 7.3 million tons grading 2.33 g/t Au for a total of 544,000 ounces and an inferred resource of 1.2 million tons at 2.21 g/t or 84,625 ounces. All these ounces of gold lie between surface and a depth of 200 metres. These near-surface resources were based on a cut-off grade of 1.24 g/t Au. Snowden's mineral resource estimate was designed for low-grade, large-volume, open-pit potential. The estimation method used was a block model with a block size of 7.6 m x 7.6 m x 3 m. Grade models were estimated with multiple indicator kriging and ordinary kriging. The Snowden and Innovexplo estimates stands as follows as at May 23, 2008:

Kodiak and Golden Goose Close Business Combination 12/16/2010 3:40 PM - Canada NewsWire
VANCOUVER and MONTREAL, Dec. 16, 2010 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --
TSX.V KXL
Kodiak Exploration Limited (TSX-V: KXL, "Kodiak") and Golden Goose Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GGR, "Golden Goose") are pleased to announce that, further to their joint news releases dated August 31, 2010 and December 13, 2010, the business combination between the companies by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act of Qu?bec (the "Arrangement") was approved by the Superior Court of Quebec on December 14, 2010 and closed effective at 12:01 am (Montreal time) earlier today.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, Golden Goose shareholders will (subject to the provisions for Small Lot Holders set out below) receive 1.2 Kodiak shares and one quarter of one non-transferable Kodiak warrant for each Golden Goose share surrendered, where each whole warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Kodiak share at a price of $0.45 for a period of three years. Outstanding options to purchase Golden Goose shares ("Golden Goose Options") are to be cancelled and holders of such options are to receive options to purchase such number of Kodiak shares ("Kodiak Options") and at an exercise price that reflects the exchange ratio of 1.2 Kodiak Options for each Golden Goose Option.
Small Lot Holders
As set out in the Golden Goose information circular in respect of the Arrangement dated November 10, 2010, any holder of less than 500 shares of Golden Goose who did not elect prior to the effective date of the Arrangement to receive common shares and warrants of Kodiak in exchange for his or her shares of Golden Goose will receive a cash payment of $0.25 per Golden Goose share held.
Board of Directors of Kodiak
As a result of the closing of the Arrangement, Kodiak is now the sole shareholder of Golden Goose and the board of directors of Kodiak now consists of seven directors, being Michael E.J. Phelps, Thomas Barber, Robert Harrington, Thomas P. Mullan, David Richardson, George Salamis and David Watkins.
Letter of Transmittal
The letter of transmittal that was provided to Golden Goose shareholders with the meeting materials in respect of the Arrangement misstated the exchange ratio. It stated that Golden Goose shareholders would receive one share of Kodiak and one quarter of a Kodiak warrant in exchange for each share of Golden Goose held. The correct exchange ratio is set forth above.
