About Golden
Hope:
Golden Hope is a mineral
exploration company that seeks to grow shareholder value through
the acquisition, exploration and development of potentially
large-scale gold and base metal projects suitable for underground
and/or open-pit mining. The Company's focus is in southeastern
Québec, Canada. The Company's
claim blocks lie within an area that extends approximately 100
kilometres along the Appalachians of southern Québec from near
Ste-Lucie-de-Beauregard to
approximately 16 kilometres southwest of Beauceville. The Bellechasse-Timmins gold
deposit lies 5 kilometres southeast of St-Magloire within the Bellechasse Belt, an
approximately 18 kilometre long mineralized area. The
Bellechasse-Timmins gold deposit includes the T1, T2A, T2B,
Ascot/Road gold zones, and the 88 Diorite. The Company is also
looking to develop the Champagne zone, a partially explored base
metal and gold deposit that lies within the Company's Bellechasse
Belt claims. A recently completed VTEM survey may identify other
similar targets along the horizon. The Company is also working to
develop other targets within its claim blocks including the FSG
