Golden Harp's MC Zone Demonstrates Higher Grade Potential, GH-019 Returns 14.29 g/t Gold Over 2 Meters

Vancouver - December 15, 2008 -- Golden Harp Resources Inc. (TSXV:GHR) today announced assay results from the remaining four holes from the recent drill program (6 holes, 1623.4 metres) at the Company's 100%-owned Copper Hill gold property in Northern Ontario. All of the holes drilled to date on the MC Zone by Golden Harp have intersected a significant number of broad low grade gold intercepts suggesting potential for a near surface bulk tonnage deposit and/or the presence of a mineralized halo proximal to higher grade mineralization along strike or at depth. The highlight of the program was the intersection of 14.29 g/t gold over 2 metres (including 20.30 g/t gold over 1 metre) in GH-019, from within a large brittle deformation zone a short distance west of the collars of GH-023 & GH-025, which demonstrates the potential for higher grade mineralization in the system.

"The MC Zone continues to captivate our attention. The information obtained to date continues to validate our exploration model and justifies ongoing exploration and drilling in this area," said Natasha Blackburn, President and CEO.

The program established that gold mineralization is associated with two specific rock types; fuchsitic ultramafics, and hematitic altered felsic volcanics. Both of these units are transected or proximal to a large northerly trending brittle deformation zone, likely related to the gold mineralization, as gold is found within the deformation zone itself. The east/west extent of the deformation zone varies greatly, hole GH-018 collared in the deformation zone and bottomed in it.

The aforementioned rock types represent a series of thick sequences that are repeated a number of times, with broad low grade gold intercepts, suggesting the potential for a series of mineralized zones of interest.

The program determined that there is an excellent correlation between the sulphide mineralization and gold; both of which are directly associated with strong surface induced polarization (IP) geophysical responses. The Company has only evaluated an area 400 metres by 220 metres to date and continued drilling is definitely warranted as the full extent of the known geophysical targets have not been tested.

In addition, the compilation and interpretation of regional airborne geophysics, recent prospecting, and drilling conducted by Golden Harp, along with historical surface trenching and drilling suggests that the immediate target area of the MC Zone represents 550 metres by 360 metres, within a much larger regional area of interest covering 3.5 km by 3.5 km. This broader area is known to contain similar geology to that found in and around the MC Zone including very prospective packages of ultramafics, which are associated with numerous historical gold occurrences. This favourable area has not undergone IP or MMI soil surveys to date and requires further exploration to effectively evaluate its gold potential.

Three holes (GH-017, GH-018, GH-019) were completed on the MC Zone and one hole, GH-006 on an IP anomaly proximal to the Cook Zone. The Company also reported a series of metallic gold assay checks from several sample intervals from MC Zone drill holes GH-025 and GH-023 from the spring program. Results are included in table format below.

GH-06					Cook Zone Area Anomaly, No significant values

*Lengths shown are core lengths as true widths cannot be determined at this time.

In addition to the drill results for the fall program included above, the Company re-assayed, using a total metallics fire assay method, a number of intervals from the original discovery holes (GH-025 and GH-023) on the MC Zone, as a check. For the most part the results were very similar to the original assay results. Checks were also carried out on certain sections outside the documented mineralized intervals and again no significant changes were noted.
