GHR's Prospecting Efforts Return 12 g/t Gold, and 9.26% Copper

Vancouver - Tuesday, December 2, 2008 - Golden Harp Resources Inc. (TSXV:GHR) today reported gold and copper values of significant interest from a prospecting program initiated on its 100%-owned Copper Hill Gold Project, located approximately 100 km due south of Timmins. Highlights include 12 g/t gold from east of the MC Zone, and 9.26 % copper and 1.26 g/t gold from northeast of the Copper Hill Zone.

A prospecting program was initiated during the recent drill program, to evaluate outcrops proximal to two highly anomalous MMI (mobile metal ion) soil anomalies to the east and west of the main MC Zone. Some prospecting was also conducted to evaluate mineralized outcrops of a quartz calcite vein located approximately 500 meters northeast of the main Copper Hill Zone copper occurrence.

A single grab sample (AL-1) of sulphide vein mineralization, hosted in a spinifex-textured ultramafic, returned a value of 12 g/t gold. The sample was taken approximately 260 metres east of the MC Zone drill collars GH-023 and GH-025 (1.02 g/t gold over 43.75 metres in fuchsitic ultramafics). This new occurrence is proximal to an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly and located in an exposure approximately 30 m from a highly anomalous soil anomaly. The new occurrence is important because it demonstrates the potential of the MC Zone to carry higher grade mineralization and confirms that the exploration techniques (IP and MMI) used by the Company for target generation, continue to successfully identify new drill targets.

The evaluation and interpretation of more recent regional airborne geophysics, prospecting, drilling conducted by Golden Harp, along with historical surface trenching and drilling now suggests that the MC Zone represents one significant target area within a much larger area of interest. This area of interest covers approximately of 3.5 km by 3.5 km. The area is known to contain similar geology to that found in and around the MC Zone including very prospective packages of ultramafics, which are associated with numerous known historical gold occurrences. This area has not undergone IP or MMI soil surveys to date and requires further exploration to effectively evaluate its gold potential.

In addition, prospecting efforts in and around the Copper Hill Zone (CHZ) outlined an exposure of quartz calcite veining sporadically exposed over a strike length of approximately 150 meters. This vein contained localized but significant copper minerals including chalcopyrite, malachite and some bornite mineralization.

The most significant values from the quartz calcite vein include: AL-15 which assayed 0.159 g/t gold and 0.998% copper; AL-16 which assayed 1.26 g/t gold and 9.26% copper; and AL-21 which assayed 0.015 g/t gold and 0.634% copper.

This new occurrence is located approximately 500 metres northeast of the main base metal occurrence (CHZ) on the property. The copper values, vein appearance and mineralization, and geological setting of the quartz calcite vein are distinctly similar to the CHZ. The main difference is the presence of gold mineralization exceeding 1 g/t gold which has not previously been found at CHZ. The quartz calcite vein may represent another generation of attractive polymetallic veins in the same general area as the CHZ, but with the potential to host both gold and copper mineralization. This vein system is located on the edge of the recently completed IP geophysical survey, which outlined a series of new targets for future drilling.

The Company is still awaiting approximately three hundred assay samples from the fall 2008 drill program. These results will be released as soon as all results are received and tabulated.

Golden Harp Resources Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company. The Company's 100%-owned, 145 square kilometre, Copper Hill gold and base metal project is located 100 kilometres south of Timmins, along Highway 560 between Shining Tree and Gowganda, Northern Ontario. The property, situated along the projected western extension of the Cadillac Larder Lake Break, in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, hosts several gold zones in a variety of geological settings; a copper zone; and large portions of the property remain to be evaluated. The Company's strategy is to build shareholder value through the exploration and discovery of new mineral deposits and by seeking strategic joint venture partnerships to maximize the discovery potential of its substantial land holdings.
