MONTREAL, Dec. 18 /CNW Telbec/ - Golden Goose Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GGR) (the "Company") is pleased to report the completion of its fall drilling program at its wholly-owned Lac Levac nickel property in the James Bay area, 216 km north of Chibougamau in northern Quebec.
In all, a total of 7,150 metres were drilled in 33 holes between mid-October and mid-December. Initially planned at 6,000 metres, the program was extended to allow the eastern extension of the (x)NISK-1 anomaly to be tested. An InfitiTEM geophysical survey conducted in the fall located the (x)NISK-1 anomaly and suggested that it extended further east than previously realized.
"So far, the results we have received are for in-fill drilling on the (x)NISK-1 anomaly," said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President of Golden Goose. "The results are consistent with the drilling we did last spring, indicating good homogeneity and continuity within the zone. Assays for the holes drilled on the eastern extension, namely holes 16, 17, 39, and 43 to 50, are among the results still pending."
A summary of the drilling done to date is as follows (more results to
come):

01-07, 02-07, 03-07 were drilled on the "C" anomaly and showed no
significant mineralization
11-07 and 14-07 were cancelled
12-07 showed no significant mineralization
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analyses were done by Accurassay Laboratories, Thunder Bay, Ontario. All
samples are tested using a full scan ICP following an Aqua-Regia
digestion. Ore grade samples are then reanalyzed by atomic absorption. Pt
and Pd are tested by Fire Assay using lead collection.
The data generated by the fall drilling will be used to update the NI 43-101-compliant evaluation report and resource estimate dated July 2007, which showed the NISK-1 anomaly to contain an indicated resource of 516,000 tonnes at 0.89% nickel, 0.39% copper, 0.06% cobalt, 0.79 g/t palladium and 0.14 g/t platinum and an inferred resource of 734,000 tonnes at 0.89% nickel, 0.34% copper, 0.06% cobalt, 0.77 g/t palladium and 0.14 g/t platinum.
"We have shut down activities for the holiday period, but we plan to continue drilling on the NISK-1 anomaly in the New Year. We are currently completing the planning for our 2008 program, which consists of about 10,000 metres of drilling to further delineate the anomaly and its extensions and explore other targets of interest on the property," added Mr. Lacoste.
The Lac Levac drilling programs are planned and supervised by Marc-Antoine Beaupre, a geological engineer and the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He has approved the contents of this press release.
(x) NISK-1: The Lac Levac anomalies will all be named in the Cree
Language. NISK previously named INCO translates to GOOSE.
