VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 2, 2009) - Molycor Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MOR)(PINK SHEETS:MLYFF)(FRANKFURT:M1V) (the "Company") is pleased to report the discovery of 3 new zones of gold/silver mineralization on its Davis Property. Outcrop chip samples on the Central Zone assayed 14 g/t gold, 13.8 g/t silver and a 0.5m channel sample on the Atwood Zone assayed 1.9 g/t gold and 674 g/t silver and a grab sample on the Butler Zone assayed 12.9 g/t gold and 416 g/t silver. The Davis property is 100% owned by Molycor and is located 13 km south of Gabbs, Nevada. Exploration has been on going since the fall of 2007 consisting of geological mapping in conjunction with rock chip sampling and soil geochemical programs that have identified a total of 6 mineralized gold/silver anomalies. These anomalies include the Davis, the Butler 1, the Butler 2, the Central, the Sinter and the Atwood Zones (See map attachment: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/mo... ).

Gold and silver occur in epithermal veins that were drilled by US Mining and Smelting Co. (USSRAM) from 1974 to 2004. A property summary, written for USSRAM summarizing their results, reported significant material that averaged 0.11 ounces/ton gold in six of the eleven holes at the Davis Mine. Molycor drilled seven diamond (HQ core) drill holes totaling 2948 feet to test for mineralized extensions along strike to the north and south and also test for mineralization up dip of the known zones. Gold and silver values returned highs of 3.53 g/t (0.105 opt) gold over 4.3 meters and 11.8 opt silver over 1.3 meters (See news release dated Nov 24, 2008). A step out drilling program south along strike and to depth will focus on expanding the zone where the vein is believed to be thicker. The Central Zone is an epithermal vein type target hosting gold and silver mineralization situated between the Davis vein and the Butler mine. Exposed on surface, the zone has a 900 meter strike length and contains a broad zone of sub-parallel veins of quartz and brecciated quartz trending N60W to N80W and dipping steeply to the south. Gold up to 14 g/t and silver up to 305 g/t occur in veins as wide as 1.0 to 1.5 meters within the zone. The intersection of this newly described vein system with the well known Davis vein may have created the permeability and porosity to form a larger mineralized zone at depth. The Butler 1, 2 and Atwood Zones contain epithermal gold and silver veins overprinted by base metal-rich polymetallic veins in the hanging wall of a rhyolite dike that stretches on surface along a strike length over 2200m (+7000 feet). Outcrop rock chip samples collected along the trend returned highs of 4 g/t gold and 674 g/t silver, while dump grab samples contained up to 12 g/t gold and 674 g/t silver. These three zones were further defined by a systematic geochemical soil sampling program consisting of 880 samples being taken along the strike length. In 1980/81 USSRAM drilled three holes along the trend, Hole #BCS4-80 intersected 2.5 feet of 0.17 opt gold and 8.23 opt silver and hole #BCS-6-81 intersected 40 feet of 0.04 opt gold. There is no data for the third hole. Molycor plans to follow up on the USSRAM gold intercepts and to test the coincident gold and silver geochemical anomalies for mineralization in the hanging wall of the dike/quartz vein complex. The Sinter Zone is a strata-bound gold target beneath intensely silicified and brecciated rhyolite ash flow tuffs (similar to Paradise Peak host rocks) covering a strike length over 1400 meters west of and parallel to the Davis vein. Bladed quartz after calcite, adularia and colloform banded silica veins along the trend are indicative of boiling within the hydrothermal system creating conditions conducive to gold and silver mineralization. Siliceous sinter preserved sporadically along the strike length of the silicified trend is characterized by large outcropping masses of rhythmically banded chalcedonic quartz. Rock samples from the banded quartz veins within the silicified breccias along strike of the Sinter zone contain gold up to 3.39 g/t gold and silver up to 30.4 g/t with anomalous arsenic, antimony and mercury. -Chairman and CEO Larry Reaugh- "All the Zones have excellent potential, but the Sinter discovery is potentially one of the most exciting zones currently on the property; due to the potential size and similarities to that of the geological model of the past producing Paradise Peak mine." Molycor controls 171 unpatented mining claims (approximately 400 acres) at their Davis Project. Gold, silver and mercury with minor lead and copper were produced within the claims intermittently until about 1943 from numerous small prospects and mines, including the Davis and Butler mines. Renewed interest in the area began in the 1970's leading to the discovery and development of the Paradise Peak gold mine (1.46 M oz gold and 38.9 M oz silver, 5 miles west of the Davis mine) by FMC Gold Company in 1983. Geological surface mapping and rock sampling has been completed on 50% of the property. The Company is currently planning an exploration program to include geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the rest of the property as well as drilling programs for all six mineralized zones identified to date. A costing for a NI 43-101 resource study on the Davis Zone has also been planned. - Analyses were conducted by ALS Chemex Ltd., located in Vancouver, British Columbia using Au AA23 for Au and ICP ME-61 for Ag and other metals - g/t means grams per short ton This news release was reviewed by Norm Tribe, P.Eng, a qualified person under NI 43-101.
