KHT Yankee Hat Minerals Ltd

Yankee Hat Minerals Ltd. ("Yankee Hat" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: KHT) is pleased to provide results from the remaining holes from its eight hole winter drill program at the Fran Property, located in central British Columbia (the "Fran Property"). The Company has received all the assays for all eight holes confirming the extensions of the known gold zones at depth over 700 meters of strike-length.

This winter's drill program at the Fran Property consists of the first new holes drilled on the project since 2007, and the assay results confirm the continuity of gold mineralization below historical drilling. Highlights of the drill results include 9.93 g/t Au over 0.70m and 8.7 g/t Au over 0.71m in hole FR-10-084, 11.95 g/t Au over 1.05m in hole FR-10-086, and 4.43 g/t Au over 1.00m in hole FR-10-087.

"These results demonstrate the continuity of the gold mineralization over a strike length of more than 700 meters and a depth of at least 220 meters," David Matousek, President of Yankee Hat comments. "The gold zones drilled so far represent only a small portion of the large Fran property. Additional indications of gold mineralization further to the east on the property will be investigated during the summer field program."

The table shows the most material assay results from the drill program:

The drill program tested the extensions of five of the mineralized gold zones identified so far on the property. The gold mineralization is hosted into a series of sub-vertical, northwest trending, structures containing quartz veining and significant pyrite. Assay results from previous drill programs testing the structures include high grade values such as 27.1 g/t Au over 1.3 (FR-07-071), 32.49 g/t Au over 2.1 m (FR-07-074), 17.03 g/t Au over 2.4 m including 25.2 g/t Au over 1.36 m (FR-05-048), 9.43 g/t Au over 8.24 m including 87.97 g/t Au over 0.52 m and 13.86 g/t Au over 0.9 m (FR-06-055).

Gold analyses reported in this release were performed by standard fire assay using a 30g charge with atomic absorption finish and a gravimetric finish for assays greater than 1 g/t. Assays returning results over 1 oz/t gold by atomic absorption are re-assayed using metallic sieve method. All assays were performed by ALS Canada Laboratory, in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Sampling and analytical procedures are subject to a comprehensive quality assurance and quality control program. The QA-QC program, includes duplicate samples, blanks and analytical standards.

About the Fran Property

The Fran property is located in central British Columbia approximately 60 kilometres north of the city of Fort St. James.
