SPARKS, NV, May 11, 2011 -- Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: GPXM) joint venture partner Scorpio Gold is pleased to report assay results from sampling of material in the Drinkwater Pit that was left behind by former operators and previously thought to be waste material.

Golden Phoenix currently maintains a thirty percent (30%) interest in the Mineral Ridge Gold Project via its membership interest in Mineral Ridge Gold LLC, the joint venture entity that owns and operates the Mineral Ridge property with Scorpio Gold.
