NEW YORK, December 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
http://www.Financialbuzz.com - The first half of 2016 saw the gold
market rebound from uncertainties in the economy. Since then, the market conditions have changed, and gold prices started to
slide. The U.S economy is doing well, stock indexes rallying to new all-time highs, thus reducing demand for the 'safe heaven'
metal. Yet, new rules for gold investing were established last week, and they have the ability to open the market to several
Muslim countries. The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and the World Gold Council
have announced the new initiative, which is called the Shariah Standard on Gold, and is designed to significantly soften rules
and regulations for citizens of Muslim countries to invest in gold. Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: GOM) (OTC: GDMRF),
Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE: KGC), Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG), Barrick Gold
Corporation (NYSE: ABX
According to GoldCore's research executive Jan Skoyles and Editor Mark
O'Byrne, the new gold investment rules are expected to change the game for 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, or 25% of the
population, as they will now them to have a "far greater access to the gold market than they had since the birth of modern
finance, which has been primarily structured towards Western ideals." Analysts like Chintan
Karnani from Insignia Consultants are expecting the rules to start make effect on the gold market, specifically on
short-term and medium-term gold prices, within six months.
Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: GOM) (OTC: GDMRF) is a Canadian based resource exploration company, which focuses on
acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Golden Dawn holds interests in
resource properties in British Columbia.
Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. reported, "the first round of analytical results from the Amigo, Glory
Hole, May Mac and Sylvester K mines, part of the Greenwood Precious Metal Project, comprising a mostly contiguous land
package of 16,000 ha., near the City of Greenwood in the historic Greenwood Mining District, of South-Central B.C., 500 km east
of Vancouver on BC Hwy. #3.
May Mac Mine - Surface Drilling
The surface diamond drilling on the May-Mac Skomac vein system commenced in late November after drilling finished on the Amigo
and Glory Hole mines, which lie 1000 meters south of the May Mac mine. Three drill holes (550
metres) were completed northeast of the historic mine workings on the Skomac vein system. These holes were drilled at different
angles from the same collar location to test the upper Skomac vein. Hole BF16-26 intersected a quartz vein containing a well
mineralized section of coarse-grained massive sulphides including pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The vein was
intersected between 177.47 and 183.54 metres (6.07 metres core length). This intercept is located 13 metres below the
elevation of the # 7 adit, and 100 meters northeast of the end of that level. The significance of this is (A) the mineralization
that was historically mined from levels 4, 5 and 6 continues vertically down another 75 meters to below the elevation of the #7
adit, and is open to depth (hole BF15-06 also encountered mineralization at depth 118 meters below # 7 Level on a new zone,
now named "Rose Vein", see news release dated Dec. 16, 2015. (B) the
mineralization continues along strike to the northeast of the historic mine and is open in that direction. The intercept in
Hole 26 provides a target for extending 7 level 100 meters northeast. Further surface drill testing will continue to determine
the extent of the north-easterly trend of the Skomac Vein system in early 2017.
IN SUMMARY:
In late Oct. 2016, the company executed a letter of intent to Purchase the 14,000 ha substantial
land package from Kettle River Resources, a subsidiary of New Nadina (see N.R. of Oct. 31, 2016).
This contiguous land package hosts 30 historic mines and significant showings, including the famous Phoenix mine, ranging from 2-20 km from the Company's 100 % owned 200-400 t/d processing facility. This
suite of properties was consolidated in the early 1980's by Kettle River Resources from numerous Crown Grants and mineral titles
held by many individuals since the pioneering days of the Greenwood Mining District. The combination of acquiring the KRR assets,
the Greenwood Mill, the Lexington and Golden Crown mines, and the
Company's May -Mac mine, present the company with a rare opportunity to revive the historic Greenwood Mining District.
As part of the due diligence on the KRR land package, 7 channel samples were taken from the Sylvester "K" mine, located 3 km
north of the company's 200-400 t/d processing facility. Of these, the latter 6 samples were collected in a continuous line
across the width of the massive sulphide zone and footwall quartz-pyrite veinlet stockwork (network). The average grade of
this line of samples is 9.92 g/t gold over a true width of 15.2 metres
Technical disclosure in this news release has been approved by Dr. Mathew Ball, P.Geo., a
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and Chief Operating Officer of the Company."

of 70 percent of modeled leach recovery. The project was finished two months ahead of schedule for an investment of just under
$225 million, which is about $50 million or 18 percent below its
budget. The first phase of development is likely to produce between 100,000 and 150,000 ounces of gold per year over an eight
year mine life at estimated costs applicable to sales of between $400 and $500 per ounce, and
all-in sustaining cost of between $500 and $600 per ounce.
