Golden Predator Reports Brewery Creek Mineral Resource Estimate to Be Released in August 2020

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Golden Predator Mining Corp. (TSX.V:GPY, OTCQX:NTGSF) (the “Company”) reports that Gustavson Associates, LLC, retained to prepare an updated Mineral Resource Estimate incorporating the 2019 drill results into the resource model by the end of July 2020, has notified the Company that the results will be available no later than August 25th, 2020. Gustavson Associates, LLC cited several factors including:

  1. Personnel assigned to this phase of the project  left the firm for another opportunity. This resulted in a significant reduction in capacity and has affected the project schedule;
  2. Inefficiencies due to a change in their typical workflow and practices amidst the current pandemic.

While the Company is disappointed in this delay it understands the uniqueness of the situation and looks forward to receipt of the new mineral resource estimate.
