Golden Arrow Reports New High-Grade Silver-Copper Results from Potrerillos Project, Argentina

Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSX-V: GRG, FRA: GAC, WKN: A0B6XQ, "Golden Arrow" or "the Company") is pleased to report additional results from the 2010-2011 surface sampling program on its 100% owned 4,000ha Potrerillos project. Ongoing surface exploration continues to establish new zones and additional drill targets on the project. The new high-grade silver-copper results reported herein enhance significance of the Copper South zone, located south of the Panorama gold-silver zone, where drilling is currently underway.

Highlights include:

An average of 498 g/t silver and 7.8% copper over 9m from a series of chip samples collected obliquely across a mineralized structure at Sol Ridge adjacent to the northwest-southeast trending regional Pascua Lama mega-structure.
At Filo Verde, near the southern end of the property, a 1.5km by 0.5km copper in talus fines anomaly(>50ppm Cu up to a maximum of 149ppm Cu) is widening and open to the southeast. The anomaly is co-incident with a dipolar magnetic high, defined by recent ground surveys, suggesting magnetic intrusive bodies underlie the Filo Verde ridge

An intensive mapping and surface sampling program has been underway at Potrerillos with a team of 15 geologists and field technicians working at the project since November. Detailed surface work over the past several months has resulted in the identification of several silver-copper targets in the Copper South zone at the Potrerillos project. These high grade silver-copper zones may be related to the Pascua Lama mega-structure and intrusive bodies, evidenced by discrete ground magnetic anomalies.

Highlights of results are reported from 420 rock chip samples and 382 talus fines collected from the Copper South target, which covers the southern extension of the Panorama Ridge over 3.5km in the southern part of the Potrerillos Project.

Potrerillos is located just 8km east of Barrick Gold Corporation's Veladero gold-silver mine (11.3 Moz gold equivalent reserves*) and 9km from the Pascua Lama project (17.8 Moz of Proven and Probable Gold Equivalent Reserves, including 671 million ounces of silver*) in San Juan Province, Argentina.

Technical Summary:

Detailed mapping and sampling over the past several months has resulted in the definition of several copper-silver drill targets in the Copper South zone at the Potrerillos Project. Mapping demonstrates the area is predominantly underlain by andesite and basaltic lavas and tuff sequences. Exposure is very limited with the approximately 85% of the area covered by modern sediments. Alteration is characterized by widespread calcite stockwork veining and shear and fault structures with intense clay and carbonate alteration. A structural interpretation shows left lateral movement on the Pascua Lama mega-structure, the major structural corridor believed to have been a loci for mineralizing fluids at the 17.8 million ounce Pascua Lama deposit, located 9km to the northwest. Where the north-south Panorama thrust fault cuts the northwest trending Pascua Lama mega-structure a dilational jog occurs, potentially creating open space for injection of intrusions and mineralizing fluids (see Map 3). The high magnetic dipole anomaly in the open space created south of this flexure is 1.4km by 0.3km and coincident with a 1.5km by 0.5km copper in talus fines anomaly (51 soils collected on 50 m intervals along 3 lines spaced at 400m with >50ppm Cu and ranging up to 149ppm Cu) that is open and widening to the southeast. The Filo Verde copper in talus fines anomaly and magnetic high dipole anomaly are co-incident with this flexure on the Pascua Lama structure and combined make a compelling drill target.

Of the 420 rock chip samples collected from the Copper South area, 16 samples had >30ppm silver up to a maximum 894ppm silver and 21 samples had >0.5% copper up to a maximum 23% copper (Maps 1 and 2). The most significant zone of mineralization identified to date is on Sol Ridge on the western side of the Copper South target. Sol Ridge is a 200m by 60m isolated ridge with outcrops of andesite agglomerate and breccia that has been cut by series of copper-sliver mineralized shears which have been hand sampled where outcrop allows. The ridge is located immediately adjacent to the northwest-southeast trending regional Pascua Lama mega-structure 1.4km north west of the Filo Verde copper anomaly. Three hand trenches were chip sampled along the 200m trend of the ridge; Map 4 displays in detail the results from these trenches. From one 34m long composite chip sample a 9m section averaged 498 g/t silver and 7.8% copper. These samples do not represent true width across the mineralized structure as the line of sampling was at an oblique angle to its interpreted trend; true width may be in the order of 50% of sample length and the potential that reported values could have been influenced by surface enrichment is not known. The mineralized material is friable and recessive and stained by copper oxides; outcrop is poor, particularly down the sides of the ridge along the predicted strike of the mineralization. Bulldozer trenching is planned to expose the structures and facilitate future sampling.
