FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW GOLD MINERALIZATION
DISCOVERED ON DAVIS
GOLd PROPERTY ROCK CHIP SAMPLES ASSAY UP TO 14 GRAMS PER TON
June 2,
2009 - Vancouver, British
Columbia
Molycor Gold Corp. (TSX.V-MOR; Frankfurt-M1V; Pink Sheets-MLYFF) (the �Company�) is pleased to report the discovery of
3 new zones of gold/silver mineralization on its Davis Property. Outcrop chip
samples on the Central Zone assayed 14
g/t gold, 13.8 g/t silver and a 0.5 m channel sample on the Atwood Zone
assayed 1.9 g/t gold and 674 g/t silver
and a grab sample on the Butler Zone assayed 12.9 g/t gold and 416 g/t silver.
The Davis property is
100% owned by Molycor and is located 13 km south of Gabbs,
Nevada.
Exploration has been on going since the fall of 2007
consisting of geological mapping in conjunction with rock chip sampling and
soil geochemical programs that have identified a total of 6 mineralized gold/
silver anomalies.
These anomalies include the Davis,
the Butler 1, the Butler
2, the Central, the Sinter and the Atwood Zones. (See map attachment � To see

Anomalies at the Davis
project show potential for high-grade, epithermal gold/silver veins, as well as
strata-bound mineralized zones similar to the nearby Paradise Peak Mine (1.46 M
oz gold and 38.9 M oz silver) which was active from 1985 to 1995.
The Davis Zone is a 400
meter (1200 foot) long outcropping silicified zone parallel to a prominently
outcropping rhyolite dike. Gold and silver occur in epithermal veins that were
drilled by US Mining and Smelting Co. (USSRAM) from 1974 to 2004. A property
summary, written for USSRAM summarizing their results, reported significant
material that averaged 0.11 ounces/ton gold in six of the eleven holes at the Davis
Mine. Molycor drilled seven diamond (HQ core) drill holes totaling 2948 feet to
test for mineralized extensions along strike to the north and south and also
test for mineralization up dip of the known zones. Gold and silver values
returned highs of 3.53 g/t (0.105 opt)
gold over 4.3 meters and 11.8 opt silver over 1.3 meters. (See news release
dated Nov 24, 2008). A step out drilling program south along strike and to
depth will focus on expanding the zone where the vein is believed to be thicker.
The Central Zone is an
epithermal vein type target hosting gold and silver mineralization situated
between the Davis vein and the Butler
mine. Exposed on surface, the zone has a 900 meter strike length and contains a
broad zone of sub-parallel veins of quartz and brecciated quartz trending N60W
to N80W and dipping steeply to the south. Gold
up to 14 g/t and silver up to 305 g/t occur in veins as wide as 1.0 to 1.5
meters within the zone. The intersection of this newly described vein
system with the well known Davis
vein may have created the permeability and porosity to form a larger
mineralized zone at depth.
The Butler 1, 2 and Atwood Zones contain epithermal gold and silver veins overprinted by base metal-rich
polymetallic veins in the hanging wall of a rhyolite dike that stretches on
surface along a strike length over 2200 m (+7000feet). Outcrop rock chip
samples collected along the trend returned
highs of 4 g/t gold and 674 g/t silver, while dump grab samples contained
up to 12 g/t gold and 674 g/t silver.
These three zones were further defined by a systematic geochemical soil
sampling program consisting of 880 samples being taken along the strike length.
In 1980/81 USSRAM drilled three holes along the trend, Hole #BCS4-80
intersected 2.5 feet of 0.17 opt gold
and 8.23 opt silver and hole #BCS-6-81 intersected 40 feet of 0.04 opt gold. There is no data for the third hole.
Molycor plans to follow up on the USSRAM gold intercepts and to test the
coincident gold and silver geochemical anomalies for mineralization in the
hanging wall of the dike/quartz vein complex.
The Sinter Zone is a
strata-bound gold target beneath intensely silicified and brecciated rhyolite
ash flow tuffs (similar to Paradise Peak
host rocks) covering a strike length over 1400 meters west of and parallel to
the Davis vein.
Bladed quartz after calcite, adularia and colloform banded silica veins along
the trend are indicative of boiling within the hydrothermal system creating
conditions conducive to gold and silver mineralization. Siliceous sinter
preserved sporadically along the strike length of the silicified trend is
characterized by large outcropping masses of rhythmically banded chalcedonic
quartz. Rock samples from the banded quartz veins within the silicified
breccias along strike of the Sinter zone contain gold up to 3.39 g/t gold and silver up to 30.4 g/t with anomalous
arsenic, antimony and mercury.
-Chairman and CEO Larry Reaugh-
�All the Zones have excellent potential, but the
Sinter discovery is potentially one of the most exciting zones currently on the
property; due to the potential size and similarities to that of the geological
model of the past producing Paradise
Peak mine.�
Molycor controls 171 unpatented mining claims
(approximately 400 acres) at their Davis Project. Gold, silver and mercury with
minor lead and copper were produced within the claims intermittently until
about 1943 from numerous small prospects and mines, including the Davis
and Butler mines.
Renewed interest in the area began in the 1970�s leading to the discovery and
development of the Paradise Peak
gold mine (1.46 M oz gold and 38.9 M oz silver, 5 miles west of the Davis
mine) by FMC Gold Company in 1983.
Geological surface mapping and rock sampling has been
completed on 50% of the property. The Company is currently planning an
exploration program to include geochemical sampling and geological mapping on
the rest of the property as well as drilling programs for all six mineralized
zones identified to date. A costing for a NI 43-101 resource study on the Davis
Zone has also been planned.

in Vancouver, British Columbia using Au AA23 for Au and ICP ME-61 for Ag and
other metals* *g/t means grams per short ton*
