Vancouver, BC - January 26, 2009 - Golden Predator Mines Inc. (TSX:GP) ("the Company")announces that its wholly owned subsidiary Gold Standard Royalty Corp (GSR) has received CDN $1,101,351 of a total CDN $1,227,137, in advance royalty payments due for calendar 2009. The royalty income stream is completely passive, and the majority of annual payments are indexed to the price of gold. 

The Company has proposed to transfer Gold Standard Royalty Corp. and its income stream to a new spin-off, to be named Golden Predator Royalty & Development Corp. The royalty package will form the nucleus of a high-quality portfolio of Nevada based precious metal assets. For further information regarding the spin-off please see the Company's press releases Dated December 19, 2008 and January 22, 2009

Gold Standard Royalty Corp. was created for the purpose of acquiring precious metals royalties. The Company owns certain assets acquired from the Lyle F. Campbell Trust, which includes ownership of 21 property interests comprised of unpatented mining claim groups and deeded royalty interests covering more than 70,000 acres in Nevada.

Assets within GSR include ownership and royalty interests at Bald Mtn. (held by Barrick Gold TSX:ABX), Tonkin Springs (US Gold TSX:UXG) and the Pan deposit (Midway Gold TSXV:MDW) in Nevada, along with the Rattlesnake project (Evolving Gold TSXV:EVG) in Wyoming.

About Golden Predator

Golden Predator is a tungsten and gold mining company focused on mineral development in Nevada and surrounding states. The Company recently announced the proposed segregation of its two main business components into separately listed public companies by spin-out of its gold and sliver focused, precious metals portfolio to a new company ("New GoldCo") by means of a plan of arrangement. The objective of the spin-out is to maximize shareholder value by allowing the market to independently value two very different businesses. The spin-out will result in a separate, revenue generating, Nevada focused gold company, in addition to allowing the existing company ("Specialty MetalsCo") to re-focus its efforts as a specialty metals and alloys company working in tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and uranium. Management is confident that having two separate operating businesses will accelerate the advancement and development of existing projects with a higher degree of certainty, and improved efficiency.
