GOLDEYE INTERSECTS WIDE GOLD-MINERALIZED ZONES, UPDATES EXPLORATION, SHINING TREE PROJECT
 

TORONTO, Ontario. August 24, 2010 – Goldeye Explorations Limited (GGY: TSX-V) (“Goldeye” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of its most recent drilling program, report on its planned exploration, and report on exploration in the immediate area of the Goldeye claims.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE AREA OF THE GOLDEYE CLAIMS

• Goldeye’s intersection of wide gold-bearing zones in its 2010 drilling program.
• Goldeye’s completion of a program of trenching, channel sampling, and mapping on the West Iron Formation (Big Dome), and on an induced polarization anomaly approximately one kilometre north of the Tyrrell Shear Zone at the Big Dome area.
• Interpretations of 3D borehole induced polarization inversions showing that chargeability emanating from gold-associated sulphides is extending to an estimated depth of one kilometre on the Big Dome and Hydro Creek.
• Goldeye’s planning for the linecutting of a 60 kilometre grid which will cover about one kilometre of the west extension of the Tyrrell Shear, and potentially 3.5 kilometres of the South Shear from the Juby JV ground, where several gold showings occur.
• Creso Exploration’s continued drilling of the Minto Occurrence within 80 metres of the ground optioned from Goldeye, in which Goldeye retains a minimum 25% interest carried to production.
• Juby Joint Venture’s (60% Temex Resources, 40% Goldeye) positive surface exploration results include induced polarization anomalies approximately 600 metres east of the Creso high grade drilling results reported as 18.2g Au/t over 65.7 metres and 13.3g Au/t over 82.5 metres (Creso News Releases June 9, 2010 and August 9, 2010); rediscovery of a shear zone subparallel to the Tyrrell Shear, approximately 500 metres south of the Juby deposit lease, trending onto Goldeye claims; and identification of gold-in-soil anomalies, some of which are coincident with induced polarization anomalies (Temex News Release, August 17, 2010).
• Temex’ report (News Release, June 15, 2010) on the Juby Main Zone of a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource inventory of 614,000 ounces of gold in the indicated category and 602,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category. The deposit is located 3.5 kilometres along the strike of the Tyrrell Shear from the large Goldeye block which overlies approximately five kilometres of the shear zone.

DRILLING PROGRAM RESULTS

Significant widths of 0.35g Au/t to 1.7g Au/t in altered host rock were intersected in the Goldeye drilling program at the Big Dome and Hydro Creek areas, primarily surrounding the Tyrrell Shear Zone. The interpretation of this gold and alteration assemblage is that it represents mineralization and alteration peripheral to more strongly altered rocks containing in their core the higher grade portion of the gold zones, down-dip or on-strike.

*Designated previously reported holes in 2010 program.

At Big Dome, consecutive sections (11750E, 11800E, and 11850E) holes, G10-50, G10-52, and previously reported G10-45 respectively provided composites of 53.8 metres averaging 0.55g Au/t, 35.35 metres of 0.69g Au/t, and 59.0 metres averaging 1.04g Au/t. Similarly at Hydro Creek, holes H10-40 (section 10800E) and H10-39 (section 10850E) respectively provided composites of 47.5 metres averaging 1.0g Au/t and 25.5 metres averaging 0.49g Au/t.

These wide intersections from the Big Dome area are from the West Iron Formation Zone (sections 11750E – 12000E) and display continuity from all holes (G09-41, and G10- 44 and 45) on section 11850E: 4.40g Au/t over 3.0 metres; 6.39g Au/t over 2.9 metres; and 6.1g Au/t over 3.6 metres. Of the additional nine holes over the current 250 metre strike length drilled to test the iron formation, two intersected the target grading 3.0g Au/t over 3.2 metres (Hole G98-12, section 11750E) and 3.31g Au/t over 4.0 metres (Hole G98-08, section 12000E); four holes provided lower grade intersections; and three holes had the iron formation dyked out. The target iron formation is open down dip (section 10850E) and has potential along strike where little drilling has taken place; in the zone, where not locally dyked out, the iron formation continues to be gold-bearing.

Five holes were drilled in the Hydro Creek area. Of the four holes which tested the Lacarte Zone, three returned wide intersections: H10-40 ( section 10800E) over 47.50 metres averaged 1.0g Au/t; H10-39 (section 10850E) over 25.5 metres averaged 0.49g Au/t; and H10-38 (section 10950E) over 15.0 metres averaged 1.15g Au/t. Higher grade intersections up 3.77g Au/t over 3.0 metres (H10-40) were intersected in the wide intersections (see Table 2). Hole H10-37, drilled to test the Lacarte North Zone west of a splay fault, intersected a new iron formation occurrence at approximately 370 metres vertical, which over 16.6 metres ran 0.71g Au/t, including a higher grade section of 4.01g Au/t over 1.75 metres. Hole H10-41 (section 10000E) was drilled to test the down dip extension of the green carbonate (Otter) zone and returned low values from the horizon which here occurred approximately 18 metres beneath a 32 metre fault zone.

PLANNED EXPLORATION

As a result of this drilling program, several areas in particular will receive priority in the planned fall drilling campaign: the West Iron Formation Zone, the new iron formation occurrence, and the Otter Zone area. Also receiving attention will be the Big Dome Quartz Stockworks Zone, the main Hydro Creek Zone, the altered gold-bearing syenite intrusive at Hydro Creek, and along the 2.8 kilometres extensions of the area not included in the Big Dome–Hydro Creek stretch of the Tyrrell Shear and subsidiary structures.

This program will be carried out on the Goldeye main block where the Company has a 100% interest in 30 square kilometres. Exploration will be completed by Goldeye’s partners on the contiguous Temex-Juby JV ground where Goldeye’s interest is 40% of 22 square kilometres, and on the contiguous Creso-Athena option where Goldeye will retain a minimum 25% interest carried to production in 4.6 square kilometres.

In additiona, Goldeye plans to trench the southern strike extension of the gold-iron formation Golden Sylvia Zone which has been acquired by a new entrant to the camp, Mineral Mountain Resources Inc.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

The drill core was sampled by sawing at a secure core facility and delivered for analysis to Swastika laboratories Ltd., Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Swastika Laboratories has provided assaying services to the minerals exploration industry for over 80 years and participates in the Proficiency testing Program for Mineral Analysis Laboratories which is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Additionally a minor number of samples were analyzed by AGAT Laboratories of Mississauga, Ontario. In addition to the internal laboratory QA/QC, Goldeye inserted one certified standard or one blank sample every twenty samples.
