AccelRate Power Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AXP)(FRANKFURT: KCG) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into option agreements
entitling it to acquire a 100% interest in thirteen recently staked
Yukon gold exploration prospects in Canada's Yukon Territory. These
new projects comprise a total of 1662 mineral claims (approximately
35,000 hectares). They have been carefully selected to cover
specific geochemical targets and favourable geology in all areas of
the Yukon where significant discoveries have recently been
reported, giving the Company excellent exposure to all of the major
exploration plays in the Territory at this time. Including the
recently optioned LUCKY STRIKE property located approximately
fifteen kilometers east of Kinross's Golden Saddle deposit,
AccelRate now has options on 1881 Yukon mineral claims totalling
more than 39,000 hectares. The options are all subject to
acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Upon completion of the Change of Business ("COB") announced by
AccelRate on November 24, 2010, and subject to regulatory approval,
AccelRate intends to change its name to "Goldstrike Resources Ltd."
and become a pure gold explorer. The Company continues to evaluate
other property opportunities that fit its aggressive growth and
exploration strategy for this emerging new gold district.
ATAC OSIRIS AREA - CARLIN MODEL
AccelRate's new prospects include the RACKLA and STEN NW claims,
which are contiguous with ATAC's Osiris discovery property, where
long intersections of Carlin-style mineralization have been
reported in limy horizons within Hyland Group sedimentary rocks
that have a wide distribution east of the Tintina Fault. Macquarie
Capital Markets has described ATAC's discovery as a new Carlin-type
gold district (Newsletter September 16, 2010). The RACKLA prospect,
equidistant from the Rau and Osiris discoveries, covers the
headwaters of an anomalous creek draining the same rock units that
host ATAC's Rau and Osiris discoveries, while the STEN NW prospect
covers anomalous gold in creeks draining in every direction from a
central ridge approximately 11 km northwest of the Osiris
drilling.
Following ATAC's recent news releases, Carlin Gold, Golden
Predator and others have staked large areas of Road River and
Hyland Group rocks to cover similar anomalies farther south in the
Hess River area. AccelRate's EMERALD option covers an area of
highly favourable geology and geochemistry located directly between
two large blocks of Carlin Gold claims, immediately east of Golden
Predator's holdings. AccelRate's SUMMIT option covers the possible
source of strong gold, arsenic, and antimony anomalies in Hyland
Group rocks near the Northwest Territories border. Anomalous
thallium is also present. This area is largely unexplored, but
appears to be highly prospective based on geology and
geochemistry.
KAMINAK COFFEE CREEK/KINROSS GOLDEN SADDLE (WHITE GOLD) AREA -
OROGENIC MODEL
AccelRate's ARIES option covers the inferred source of gold and
arsenic anomalies on trend with the Coffee Creek discovery, where
Kaminak has recently reported numerous long, high grade gold
intersections from structurally controlled orogenic vein systems
within a broad, 43 km long corridor in a largely unexplored
metamorphic terrain. The ARIES property is less than 5 km from the
nearest strong gold anomalies on Kaminak's Apollo property at the
northwest end of the Coffee Creek trend.
AccelRate's BR option covers ground which has returned anomalous
gold values on a short tributary of Coffee Creek 14 km southwest of
Kaminak's discovery. The BR claims tie on to the southwest side of
the Boulevard property, where Silver Quest Resources Ltd. recently
reported an encouraging 18 m long gold intersection in the same
rocks, parallel to the main Coffee Creek trend.
AM GOLD RED MOUNTAIN-VICTORIA GOLD DUBLIN GULCH AREA - INTRUSIVE
MODEL
AccelRate's ARIZONA option covers strong gold-arsenic anomalies
and active placer claims only 3 km west of AM Gold's Red Mountain
deposit, and 50 km west of Victoria Gold's Dublin Gulch deposit.
Gold in these deposits occurs in structurally controlled vein
systems that are independent of host rock type, and are believed to
be related to mid-Cretaceous intrusive activity that is widespread
in Yukon and Alaska. The Red Mountain deposit remains open in all
directions, and the gold is associated with quartz-sulphide veins
in a northwest-trending fault zone that projects onto the ARIZONA
property, which is the subject of another of the options acquired
by AccelRate.
AccelRate's OLIVER option property (401 claims) is contiguous
with Golden Predator's extensive Scheelite Dome property (best
drill intersection to date 25.40 m grading 11.12 g/t Au), and
covers several placer creeks as well as the inferred source of four
gold geochemical anomalies (highest value 65 ppb Au). Both the
ARIZONA and OLIVER properties cover Hyland Group metasedimentary
rocks that may also have potential for Carlin-style mineralization.
Both properties have direct road access.
ROCKHAVEN KLAZA AREA - HIGH SULPHIDE EPITHERMAL VEIN/BRECCIA
MODEL
AccelRate's STRIKE option property is located in the Nansen Gold
Camp, 28 km northwest of the former high grade gold producer. It is
10 km northwest of Rockhaven's Klaza property, where four parallel
gold-mineralized zones have been defined within a 1500 m wide
northwest-trending structural corridor, and drill holes have
intersected grades as high as 7.2 g/t Au and 260 g/t Ag over 15.3
m. The STRIKE property covers a 500 ppb gold anomaly and three
other gold silt anomalies on trend with the Rockhaven gold
corridor. It is contiguous with the BBB claim block, where
Wolverine Minerals has documented numerous strong silt and soil
anomalies that follow multiple linear structures. The STRIKE
property has very similar geology to the Rockhaven and Wolverine
properties, and can be accessed by a trail along the Klaza
river.
OTHER PROPERTIES - KAMINAK COFFEE CREEK OROGENIC MODEL
AccelRate's ROSEBUD SOUTH, CHANCES, LIVINGSTONE and MORLEY
options cover strong gold anomalies in Yukon-Tanana Terrane
metamorphic rocks similar to those hosting the Golden Saddle and
Coffee Creek discoveries. The ROSEBUD SOUTH and CHANCES properties
are located in the Stewart River area east of Kinross's Golden
Saddle deposit, and the LIVINGSTONE property covers several of the
main placer creeks in the Livingstone gold camp. The MORLEY
property covers the inferred source of two gold silt anomalies at
the upper detection limit of the government's regional stream
sediment geochemical survey (greater than 99.9 ppb Au), as well as
three other gold silt anomalies in the Morley Lake area south of
Whitehorse. ROSEBUD SOUTH is located in an active placer mining
area with direct trail access, LIVINGSTONE is accessible by winter
road from Whitehorse and is served by an all weather airstrip, and
MORLEY is less than 10 km off the Alaska Highway. With favourable
geology and geochemistry, these properties have the potential to
open up new areas to discoveries of the Coffee Creek type.
OPTION TERMS
The thirteen options are the subjects of thirteen different
arm's length agreements entered into with a private staking
syndicate. The Company has entered into thirteen separate
agreements in order that it may pursue each of them independently.
The essential terms of each option are as follows:
1. The Company may exercise each option by making cash payments,
issuing shares and incurring exploration expenses as follows, and
may issue shares in lieu of cash for the second, third, fourth and
fifth payments:

Property for $5,000,000 within 90 days after the earlier of the
date the Option is exercised, or 90 days after the date of the
first NI 43-101 report on the property that includes a resource
estimate of mineral resources outlined on the property. Upon
exercise of the Buy Back Option, a joint venture will be formed
with AccelRate as operator.
There has been no change to the status of the COB. The Company
is in the process of closing its private placement announced on
January 28 and March 5, 2011. All subscription proceeds will be
