Gold Mountain Intersects Gold-Silver Mineralization at Yoquivo;
El Indio Surface Discovery Yields 33.50 g/t Gold, 3,230 g/t Silver
Toronto, Ontario CANADA, June 12, 2007 /FSC/ - Gold Mountain Explorations (GMEX - OTCBB, F2C - FWB), and partner West Timmins Mining Inc. (TSX:WTM) announced today that initial drill testing of the Yoquivo Project has intersected multiple zones of silver-gold mineralization. Surface mapping conducted during the on-going drill program has also identified two new, high-grade gold-silver mineralized vein systems. The Yoquivo Project covers the entirety of the historic Yoquivo Mining District and is located 35 km southeast of the recently opened Ocampo Gold--Silver Deposit.
Vein and Stockwork Silver-Gold Targets Intersected
Three diamond drill holes have now been completed on the Yoquivo Project. Hole Y07-01 targeting the El Gambusino vein returned 289 g/t silver and 2.18 g/t gold over a 70 cm width at a vertical depth of approximately 32.00 metres. A second zone of anomalous silver-gold mineralization was intersected deeper in the hole (Table 1).
Diamond drill hole Y07-02, collared 590 metres northeast of hole -01, tested the southern end of the Muralla trend. Muralla is a silver-gold mineralized quartz stockwork zone developed over widths of 5 to 40 metres. Hole Y07-02 intersected a quartz stockwork zone and anomalous silver and gold over 27.50 metres. The core of this zone returned 12.00 metres averaging 40.18 g/t silver and 0.15 g/t gold.
Drill hole Y07-03 targeting the northern portion of the Muralla and the La Nina mineralized trend has been completed and results are pending. The 3,000 metre Phase 1 drill program will also target extensions to the high-grade San Francisco mine (historically reported production grade of 10.90 g/t gold and 1,120 g/t silver) and other mineralized structures including the recently discovered El Indio system (see below).

High Grade Surface Mineralization at El Indio, Lucero
Geological mapping has identified two new gold-silver mineralized structures. The El Indio vein-breccia system is located 250 metres east of, and parallel to, the historic San Francisco mine trend. Eight grab samples collected over 270 metres along the strike of this vein-breccia system returned values ranging from 0.544 to 33.50 g/t gold and 39.1 to 3,230 g/t silver.
The Lucero occurrence is located 350 metres west of the western-most mineralized trend previously identified on the property. Three grab samples collected from historic workings on this structure returned an average grade of 10.63 g/t gold and 169.6 g/t silver. Initial drill testing of the El Indio system will be included in the current drill program and a systematic sampling will be initiated in the Lucero area.
Quality Control and Assurance
Geochemical results reported herein are from halved drill core and grab samples collected from surface on the Company's Yoquivo Project. Core sampling is conducted on site by trained personnel and sealed samples are transported to ALS-Chemex's preparation facilities in Chihuahua, Mexico by employees of consulting firm Minera Cascabel S.A. de C. V. on behalf of West Timmins Mining Inc. The remaining half of the drill core is stored in a secure facility on the project site. Grab samples are sealed on site and similarly transported.
All samples were assayed for gold by standard fire assay- ICP finish with a 50 gram charge. Samples additionally underwent 34 element ICP-MS analysis. Gold values in excess of 3.00 g/t were re-analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish for greater accuracy. Silver, zinc, copper and lead values in excess of 100 ppm, 1%, 1% and 1% respectively were also repeated by fire assay. For quality control purposes blank and analytical control standards were inserted into the sample sequence at regular intervals - no discrepancies are reported.
