VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 5, 2007) - Canadian Gold Hunter Corp. (the "Company") (TSX:CGH) is pleased to provide a further update on the diamond drilling program on the GJ/Kinaskan copper-gold project in northern British Columbia.
The drilling program was completed on September 23rd and consisted of 80 holes totaling 15,834 metres. The Company reported assay results for the first 28 holes in a news release dated September 11th. This release includes results from a further 24 holes leaving an additional 28 holes to be reported as the results become available.

On the Donnelly Zone, highlights include drill hole 07-167, which intersected 96.53 metres grading 0.50% copper and 1.81 g/t gold, drill hole 07-171, which intersected 103.6 metres grading 0.58% copper and 0.79 g/t gold, drill hole 07-185, which intersected 94.5 metres grading 0.57% copper and 0.74 g/t gold and drill hole 07-192, which intersected 106.7 metres grading 0.61% copper and 0.57 g/t gold.
"We are very encouraged by the tenor of the copper and gold assays from the Donnelly Zone," stated Rick Bailes, President of the Company. "This higher grade material is near surface and is easily accessible."
The focus of the 2007 drilling is porphyry-style, copper-gold mineralization associated with the Groat stock, a poorly exposed elongated stock of monzodiorite, which intruded andesite and volcaniclastic sediments. Four mineralized zones have been discovered associated with the Groat stock: the Donnelly Zone, the North Donnelly Zone, the GJ Zone and the North Zone. The property is easily accessed, lying about 10 kilometres from the Stewart Cassiar highway.
CGH is engaged in gold exploration focused on North American projects. The Company has a 100% interest in the GJ/Kinaskan project. The Company is currently drilling its Manson Creek gold project in central B.C. and its Caballo Blanco gold project in Veracruz State Mexico.
The 2007 drill program and sampling protocol are being supervised by qualified person David Mehner, P.Geo., Project Geologist for Canadian Gold Hunter. Appropriate quality control and quality assurance protocols are utilized on the program. Standard reference samples are inserted in each batch of assays. The Canadian Gold Hunter drill samples are analyzed for gold by fire assay and for copper and silver by "ICP" at ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Drill core samples are prepared and analyzed by ALS Chemex in accordance with industry standards. Drill results and technical data are reviewed by Dr. Giles Peatfield, P.Eng., a Qualified Person pursuant to NI 43-101, prior to release. Dr. Peatfield is independent of the Company. True thicknesses are not accurately known at this time; in some cases they may be less than the core lengths reported.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
Richard J. Bailes, President
