======================================================================= Re: News Release - Monday, June 07, 2010 Gold Canyon Negotiates Amendments To Royalties Related To Certain Springpole Project Claims ======================================================================= Gold Canyon Resources Inc.

(GCU: TSX-V) ("Gold Canyon" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Jubilee Gold Inc.

to give effect to the transfer of legal ownership of five patented claims forming part of the Companys Springpole Gold Project in the Red Lake Mining District of Ontario, Canada and to amend substantially the terms of the royalties associated therewith as agreed upon under an agreement dated as of June 30, 1986 between Milestone Exploration Limited (a predecessor entity by way of amalgamation of Jubilee) and Gold Fields Canadian Mining Limited (a predecessor of interest by way of assignment to Gold Canyon), as amended, all for the purposes of facilitating the further exploration, development of and, if deemed economically viable, production from, such patented claims. Legal title to the five patented claims (KRL No.

11229, 11230, 11231, 12868 and 12869) will be transferred to Gold Canyon.

These patented claims will be subject to a 3.0% net smelter royalty in favour of Jubilee (from a 5% net smelter royalty as set out in the original agreement), 1% of such royalty redeemable by Gold Canyon at any time upon payment of $1.0M to Jubilee.

All previous payments made under the original agreement to date shall be treated as "cost of carrying the property" regardless of whether designated as minimum royalty or advance royalty paid on account of the properties subject to the original agreement.

Upon issuance of TSX Venture Exchange acceptance for the transaction contemplated between the parties, the original agreement will thereafter be terminated and of no further force and effect.

In consideration of the renegotiated royalties, Gold Canyon has agreed to pay to Jubilee the sum of (US)$50,000 and to issue an aggregate of 100,000 common shares in the capital of Gold Canyon to Jubilee upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approvals, and thereafter issue a further 100,000 common shares in the capital of Gold Canyon to Jubilee upon each of the first to fifth anniversaries of such TSX Venture Exchange approval. "This revised NSR makes the future economics of the Springpole project much more favourable with new royalties in line with modern standards," states Dr.

Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor to Gold Canyon. Completion of the proposed transactions remain subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.

All securities to be issued with will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the distribution date in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable Canadian securities laws.
