Golden Independence Mining Corp. announced it has completed preliminary earthworks in preparation for an upcoming drill program at its development-stage Independence project in Nevada. The earthworks contractor has completed the road cuts and preparation of drill pad sites for future exploration drilling on the project.

In addition, geologic staff have completed preliminary sampling at the newly exposed areas including sampling, mapping and prospecting of the Rebel Zone. Collected samples have been delivered to ALS USA Inc. in Reno, Nevada for chemical assaying, and results are expected over the coming weeks. The Rebel Zone is located outside of the proposed open pit to the east where previous surface grab sampling of extensive silicified outcrop returned a highlight grab value of 7.72 g/t gold.

Additionally, a NE striking gossanous structural zone has returned highlight grab values of 16.55 g/t and 14.45 g/t gold. The Company will look to finalize plans for drilling on receipt and interpretation of all results and remains fully permitted for an exploration drill program at the Rebel Zone.
