Aug. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Gold American Mining Corporation (OTC BB:SILA)is pleased to announce it has signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the high-grade silver-gold La Escondida Project located in Sonora State, Mexico.

La Escondida property is comprised of two mineral concessions that cover 439.8 acres approximately 124 miles northeast of the city of Hermosillo in Sonora State, Mexico.

Nineteen miles to the northeast of the property is Yamana Gold Inc.'s Mercedes project, a development stage gold-silver project expected to start production at a rate of approximately 120,000 gold equivalent ounces per year from 2012. Eighteen miles to the north of SILA's La Escondida project is the Oroco Resources Corporation's Cerro Prieto project, which recently reported 383,833 ounces gold and over 6 million ounces of silver reserves.

La Escondida property is host to two distinct mineralized targets associated with a fault: a bulk tonnage-style gold-silver-lead disseminated area and a high-grade epithermal vein-hosted silver and gold area. Small gambusino-style workings occur at different points on these targets, where historical sampling returned the following selected results:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------
23725 0.22 908.69 Veins N65E 25SW

One vein is exposed over an area at least 800 meters long and is reported to be 3-5 meters wide. The second vein is exposed over an area at least 500 meters long and is reported to be 1-2 meters wide.The disseminated zone is found between these two veins, approximately 100 meters wide. These zones are open both along strike and at depth.

Great Basin Gold Ltd. ("Great Basin")  announces results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Highlights at its nearly completed Burnstone Project in South Africa include:
   -   mine hook up to the Eskom national electricity grid,
   -   on-site metallurgical plant nearing completion, and
   -   underground mine development being advanced with the decline and
       vertical shaft accesses completed, enabling station construction and
       installation of underground infrastructure.

Highlights at its Hollister Project in Nevada, USA, include:
   -   improved performance for both trial mining and Esmeralda mill
       processing, and
   -   stockpile processing through three mills accelerates cash flow.




Hollister Project



Net revenue improved significantly to a quarterly record of CDN$34 million; 39,418 gold equivalent ounces(1) (Au eqv oz) were sold during the quarter (compared with 6,108 Au eqv oz in the quarter ended March 31, 2010). Revenue is net of toll milling charges. Production cost for metal recovered through the Company's Esmeralda mill decreased 20% quarter on quarter and contributed to achieving a gross profit (revenue less production costs) of CDN$13 million (CDN$0.04 earnings per share) for the period. After non-cash charges, including depletion, foreign exchange movement and share based compensation of CDN$8.6 million (CDN$0.03 per share), resulted in a net loss of CDN$5.4 million (CDN$0.02 loss per share) for the quarter. The loss per share decreased 50% year-on-year, and it should be noted that the second quarter was burdened disproportionately by annual equity based compensation charges. Production costs were still relatively high at the Esmeralda mill at CDN$201 per Au eqv. oz recovered, but off-site carbon stripping charges euivalent to US$80 per eqv oz will be eliminated going forward as the second carbon stripping unit and larger Merrill Crowe system were successfully commissioned in July 2010. This means that doré can be poured directly on site at Esmeralda on a continuous basis.
