Golden River Resources Advances Slave Craton Projects.MELBOURNE, Australia -- Golden River Resources Ltd, (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :GORV), a Delaware Corporation A Delaware corporation is a corporation chartered in the U.S. state of Delaware. Delaware is well known as a corporate haven, and thus, over 50% of US publicly-traded corporations and 58% of the Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in the state. specializing in gold exploration, is pleased to provide the following update regarding its exploration properties within the Slave Craton The Slave craton is a relatively small Archean craton (about 300,000 km²) located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It is dominated by ca. 2.73-2.63 Ga greenstones and turbidite sequences and ca. 2.72-2. Nunavut, Canada. Golden River Resources ("Golden River") has an arrangement with Tahera Diamond Tahera Diamond Corporation (TSX: TAH) is a Canadian diamond mining company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. Tahera's Jericho Diamond Mine represents Canada's third, and Nunavut's first, diamond mine. Tahera currently has a diamond marketing alliance with Tiffany & Co. Corporation ("Tahera"), to explore for gold and base metals on the Tahera ground in the Contwoyto Lake Contwoyto Lake is a lake in the Kitikmeot Region of the Canadian territory of Nunavut, located near the border with the Northwest Territories. With a total area of 957 km² (369 sq mi), it is the territories' tenth largest lake. The Lupin Mine is located near Contwoyto Lake. area, proximal to the Lupin Mine The Lupin Mine is a gold producer in Nunavut Territory, Canada, having opened in 1982. and the High Lake Volcanic Belt A volcanic belt is a large volcanic region. Other terms are used for smaller areas of activity; in shrinking size there are volcanic belts, clusters, chains and fields.[1] , in the Hood River area within the Slave Craton of Nunavut in Canada. In late July 2006, Golden River mobilized equipment and personnel to further prospect, assess and evaluate the Contwoyto Lake and Hood river area. The work program was to follow up Golden Rivers' highly successful 2004 examination with a focus on highlighting key areas for drilling in the planned winter drill program. During this summer field program, 901 samples were taken and several areas were targeted as key regions for future work based on current geological modelling, the re-assessment of historical work and sample results from the 2004 program. All samples were sent for preparation and analysis by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. Samples will be analysed with a 36 element geochemical procedure and gold Fire Assays will be conducted where warranted. All 2006 assay results are due by mid October 2006 due to the backlog in assay laboratories in Canada. The field program and sampling was under the direct supervision of Bruce Goad, PGeo, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Contwoyto Lake Area Numerous new zones of banded iron formations were identified in this summers' program. Principle areas within the property include thick sequences of banded iron formation with strike lengths of over several kilometres. With the use of recent airborne geophysical surveys and new structural data, Golden River has outlined favourable gold-bearing deformation zones of the iron formation that appear similar to the nearby Lupin Mine. Assay results are due by mid October 2006. Hood River Area Several areas within the High Lake area returned favourable gold, up to 33 g/t, from our sampling program in 2004. Several prospective zones were re-examined however, the Penthouse area became the main focus of the 2006 Hood River assessment. Here, a large 3 kilometer zone of sheared sheared adj.

Golden River is very encouraged by the 2006 exploration program which was successful in finding new locations of strong mineralization this field season. Following the field investigation program, the characteristics and prospectivity of the Penthouse zone are better understood and the area presents an excellent drill target. Our planned drill program is expected to take place during the 2006-2007 winter months.
