Golden Phoenix Sells Its 15% Interest In Santa Rosa Gold Mine, Panama, To Receive
Up To $4.1 Million, 25 Million GPXM Shares Returned For Cancellation
LAS VEGAS, NV, August 9, 2012 - Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. ("Golden Phoenix")
 (OTC Bulletin Board: GPXM) announced today that it has entered into a mutual Rescission
and Release Agreement, as subsequently amended (the "Agreement") with Silver Global,
S.A., a Panamanian corporation ("Silver Global") and Golden Phoenix Panama, S.A.
 (the "JV Company") collectively (the "Parties"), whereby Golden Phoenix will receive
up to $4.1 Million (less an applicable discount for timely payments) for its 15%
 interest in the Santa Rosa Gold Mine, Panama.
Under the terms of the Agreement:
a) Silver Global shall pay Golden Phoenix up to $4.1 Million in tranches, subject
to a discount of $750,000, such that the aggregate cash payment for the 15% shall
be $3.35 Million in the event all scheduled payments are timely made, and return
 to Golden Phoenix for cancellation 25,000,001 shares of Golden Phoenix common stock
issued to Silver Global under the Definitive Acquisition Agreement entered into
by the Parties on September 16, 2011 (the "Acquisition Agreement"), and
b) Golden Phoenix shall transfer its 15% equity ownership in the JV Company to Silver
Global.
Golden Phoenix's 15% interest in the Santa Rosa Gold Mine, comprised of 15 shares
in the JV Company (the "Panama Shares"), shall be held in escrow by Icaza Trust
Corporation ("Trust Agent") and released to Silver Global in stages over the next
12 months as payments are received by Golden Phoenix. In the event of default in
 payment, any Panama Shares that have not been paid for will be retained by Golden
Phoenix.
Concurrent with the execution of the Agreement and receipt of $350,000, the Arbitration
proceedings filed against Silver Global and pending before the International Chamber
of Commerce will be dismissed, without prejudice; and the Acquisition Agreement
will be deemed fully and finally rescinded, with no further obligations of either
party. In addition, the Parties have entered into a mutual release of all claims
 by and against all Parties.
Donald Gunn, Chairman of Golden Phoenix's Interim Governing Board stated, "The sale
of our Panama asset will provide liquidity and help begin our efforts to advance
