Vein No.3 near surface,
Vein No.3 at depth,
Vein No.3 western extension.

The holes will also target Veins No.19 and 10 located directly to the north of Vein No.3. For additional details on the geology of Berens River and location of the drill holes, please see the attached three figures (the figures are also available at: http://www.goldenshare.ca).

About Berens River

The Berens River property is located 200 km north of the city of Red Lake, Ontario, and consists in 21 unpatented mining claims covering 37.6 km². The past producing Berens River Mine was operated by a subsidiary of Newmont Mining from 1939 to 1948 and produced 158,000 ounces of gold and 5.8 million ounces of silver as well as 1.7 million pounds of zinc and 6.1 million pounds of lead. The historical production originates from Vein No.1, which was mined by shaft No.1 sunk to a depth of 990 m although no production has been recorded below the 518 m level. A second shaft was sunk to a depth of 232 m on Vein No.3 but has not yet entered into production.

The Berens River Mine gold-silver mineralized system comprises 10 strongly silicified hydrothermally altered zones (historically called "Veins") developed in steeply dipping, fracture-shear-fault systems with a general strike of 110° and a 75° dip towards the SSW that cross-cut the stratigraphy at a high angle. The zones show thicknesses up to 4.50 m with lateral extents of up to several hundred meters.

Golden Share's initial surface reconnaissance program targeted Veins No.1, 3 and 19 and the highest grades obtained from surface outcrop grab samples were returned by Vein No.19 with gold grades of up to 37.71 g/t Au (1.21 oz/t Au) and silver grades of up to 1,630 g/t Ag (52.4 oz/t Ag). Notably, high grade zinc up to 15.1 % Zn was also obtained from Vein No.3.

About Sandy Lake and Ackewance

The Berens River project is located on the Sandy Lake First Nation ("Sandy Lake") traditional territory. Golden Share has held several meetings with Sandy Lake since acquiring the Berens project and in September 2012, Sandy Lake representatives confirmed the endorsement of a gradual approach that would be implemented in stages according to the phases of development of the project.

In early 2013, Golden Share signed a strategic development agreement with Ackewance Exploration and Services ("Ackewance") of Red Lake whereby Ackewance will assist Golden Share in developing harmonious relationships with local communities and First Nations in the Berens River area and will also provide logistical services for future exploration programs.

Further to the agreement with Ackewance, a diamond drill was mobilized on the Berens River Mine site this past winter and an agreement was obtained from Sandy Lake to execute a first pass diamond drilling program on the property.
