Golden Share Identifies 14 IP Anomalies With Surface Grades Up to 759.0 g/t Au on Elwood
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 5, 2008) - Golden Share Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GSH) is pleased to provide an update on its Elwood property.

The Elwood property is located 70 km west of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, in the Shebandowan greenstone belt, a classic sequence comprising mafic volcanics and granodioritic intrusions flanked by Temiskaming sediments towards the south.

The Shebandowan belt is recognized as a favourable geological environment for gold deposits and Golden Shares Elwood property remains underdeveloped in the light of the belts potential.

A first surface work program was conducted in the fall of 2007 by Golden Share and the results have now been integrated in the on-going compilation of the property in preparation for the upcoming field campaign.

The fall 2007 program consisted in 42.3 km of line cutting executed over an area of 2.1 km2 covering the eastern most edge of the Peewatai granodiorite and in particular over the Penziwol area, an east-west trending mineralized zone, where numerous 1-2 kg surface rock samples reported grades in excess of 30.0 g/t Au with a peak at 759.0 g/t Au (see press release dated May 22nd 2008).

An induced polarization (IP) survey was executed on the freshly cut grid and yielded the following results :


- 14 sub-parallel, generally east-west trending, IP anomalies were defined.

- 9 IP anomalies show a strike extension of 500 m or more, with two 
anomalies transecting the entire grid with strike lengths in excess of 2 
km.

- 4 IP anomalies are associated with auriferous surface rock samples and
notably :

  - The Penziwol area is associated with anomalies 10 and 11 and several
    surface rock samples reported grades above 50.0 g/t Au with a peak at
    759.0 g/t Au.

  - The S3 zone is associated with anomaly 6 and surface rock samples
    reported grades up to 131.0 g/t Au.

Philippe Giaro, President and CEO, stated "This preliminary work confirms that the granodiorite represents a prime target.

A clear association has also been established between some of the IP anomalies and auriferous surface values.

One of the objectives of the upcoming field campaign is to execute a surface follow-up on all these anomalies.

The Elwood property has virtually been unexplored for the past 15 years and very little systematic follow-up work has been executed given the encouraging preliminary results obtained so far.

We look forward to unlocking the potential of the property".

Muroc Inc., a geological consulting firm based in St-Adolphe dHoward, Quebec, has appointed Mr.

Pierre Poisson to the position of senior geologist for the Elwood project.

A first phase of work to be executed during the summer of 2008 will consist in thorough prospecting and additional geological mapping with the foremost objectives being to :

1.

Fully delineate the existing high grade gold zones,

2.

Identify additional mineralized zones,

3.

Assess the bulk tonnage potential of the granodiorite.

Golden Share intends to report on a regular basis on the advancement of its work programs.

The Company is also simultaneously working towards increasing its visibility in Canada and Europe.
