VANCOUVER, Jan. 9, 2013 /CNW/ - Gold Mountain Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Gold Mountain") has completed a 13,410 meter drill program on its 100% owned Elk Gold property, located near Merritt, British Columbia. The exploration camp supported two target areas for diamond drilling during the 2012 exploration program.

The first area of focus for the drill program was to test the western extension of the historic Siwash North pit. In-fill drilling was completed along the 350 meter western step out between the existing open pit and 2011 drill hole SND11-123 which intersected a pyritic quartz vein, grading 30.4 g/t gold and 56.2 g/t silver over a core length of 0.39 meters. The 2012 drill results confirm mineralization in the western extension of the vein.

A second group of regional drill targets for the 2012 program included four of the nine prospective zones on the Elk property. Targets were identified based on the promising results of the Titan 24 survey, Pole-Dipole IP survey and the drill results from 2010 and 2011. Regional drilling was designed to extend both the strike length and depth of the high priority regional gold bearing structures identified in the 2010 and 2011 drilling program, including Lake Zone, Discovery and the South Showing. (see map attached)

2012 drilling in the South Showing focused on the expansion of a mineralized silica breccia. Starting from near surface, the 2011 drilling identified a breccia with widths of up to 47.7m  and gold grades of 0.7g/t over the entire 47.7m, including intervals of 45cm at 14.2g/t, 39cm at 7.9g/t, 27cm at 18.6g/t, 24cm at 25.7g/t and 20cm at 6.7g/t. This mineralization is unlike the zones further north which carry gold primarily in pyritic quartz veins. The mineralized breccia opens new possibilities in the South Showing for a large volume, lower grade gold deposit. As a result, additional IP over the southern area is being planned for 2013.

Assay results from 2012 drilling have been received and are being compiled. Results will be released upon completion of analysis.

As part of the ongoing exploration program, prospecting new areas on the property continues. During the field season a number of interesting outcrops were sampled. One grab sample of particular interest was taken from a location three kilometers southwest of the South Showing mineralized breccia and yielded assay results of 7.36% copper, 226 g/t silver, 0.24% zinc and 0.38% lead. Gold Mountain's 2013 exploration program will plan for additional soil sampling and geophysical work in these new prospective areas.
