A correction from source is being issued with respect to the
release issued, October 3rd, 2011 at 4:00 pm ET. Under the
"Highlights" section, PFR2011-12 was reported as 0.9 g/t Au over
7.3m within 0.5 g/t Au 93.3m and should read 0.9 g/t Au over 7.3m
within 0.5 g/t Au 39.3m, as it did in the table of intercepts. The
complete and corrected version follows.
Premium Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEM)(OTCQX:PMMEF)
("Premium" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the latest
results of step-out holes drilled as part of the ongoing 25,000m
program have significantly increased the strike length of the
Friday Main Zone by 284m to the south, for a total strike length of
1,500m. The Main Zone strike extent has been increased by 700m by
the Phase-Four drilling program to date and remains open along
trend.
Highlights Include:
-- 88% increase in strike length of the Main Zone to 1,500m: Main Zone
hosts 343,000 oz indicated in 11.8 Mt @ 0.90 g/t Au and 779,000 oz
inferred in 22.5 @ 1.08 g/t Au along 800m of strike (see press release
dated March 28, 2011)
-- PFR2011-14: 1.1 g/t Au over 12.8m and 1.3 g/t Au over 11.3m within 0.4
g/t over 205.7m
PFR2011-13: 1.0 g/t Au over 14.6m within 0.5 g/t Au over 111.3m
PFR2011-12: 0.9 g/t Au over 7.3m within 0.5 g/t Au over 39.3m
PFR2011-11: 4.5 g/t Au over 1.8m and 0.9 g/t Au over 8.2 within 0.5 g/t
Au over 24.7m
-- Geophysics and gold-in-soils suggest that the Friday Zone may extend for
an additional 3500m
-- The Friday Zone is one of several known gold zones, including the Monday
Zone (300m to the west of the Friday Zone) and the Deadwood Zone (5 - 10
km to the north of the Friday Zone). All mineralized zones are linked by
coincident gold-in-soil and geophysical trends along the Orogrande Shear
system - further exploration results are anticipated shortly
-- To date assays from 5,315m (21%) of the planned drill program have been
reported from a total of 10,292m drilled to date
"We are encouraged by the positive results; we have almost
doubled the mineralized footprint of the Main Zone and acquired
geotechnical information essential to future definition drilling
designed to test the true width and depth of mineralization,"
stated Michael Ostenson VP Exploration. "Step-out drilling
continues along the 3500m potential extension of the gold-bearing
structure that remains untested."
Drill Summary
Drilling is focused on step-outs from the Main Zone of the
Friday-Petsite resource along a 5 km gold-in-soil trend coincident
with a gold-bearing structure known as the Friday Fault. Two holes
per step were drilled as a fan to determine the exact location and
orientation of the Friday Fault south along the trend.
All holes successfully intercepted mineralization before passing
through the Friday Fault, and terminating in un-mineralized country
rock. Gold grades to date are consistent with the current resource
grade.
PFR2011-11 and PFR2011-12 were drilled as a fan and to the east
on a 167 m step-out to the south of previously released holes
PFR2011-7 and PFR2011-9. PFR2011-11 was drilled to a down-hole
depth of 454.5 m and PFR2011-12 was drilled to a down-hole depth of
485.9 m.
PFR2011-13 and PFR2011-14 were drilled as a fan and to the east
on a 284 m step-out to the south of previously released holes
PFR2011-7 and PFR2011-9. PFR2011-13 was drilled to a down-hole
depth of 447.8 m and PFR2011-14 was drilled to a down-hole depth of
414.8 m.

(i) The gold grade calculation is a weighted mean with no top cut and no
bottom cut. The grade calculation includes internal waste and low grade
sections. True Widths are estimate to be 25-75% of the drilled interval.
The majority of the Friday resource is contained within the Main
Zone, the strike length of which has now been extended from 800m to
1,500 meters since the start of the 25,000 meter Phase Four drill
program. This is an 88% increase to the strike length of the
mineralized system: The 4 drill-holes reported here are an
additional two major step-outs south of the Main Zone and extend
the mineralized system for an additional 284m to the south. The
Phase Four program to date has successfully extended the strike
length of the Main Zone mineralisation by approximately 550m to the
south and 150m to the north.

Exploration Drilling Update:
Friday Zone: A total of 4,374.2 meters have been completed in 17
drill-holes. Drilling will continue to define the extent of the
Friday Fault along strike to the south and to the north in order to
determine the extent of the system.
Deadwood Zone: A total of 5,917.9 meters of drilling have been
completed in the Deadwood Zone in 9 drill-holes. Assay results for
the Deadwood drilling are expected in the near future. Drilling
will continue at Deadwood, testing numerous geochemical and
structural targets.
The Deadwood Zone is located between the Buffalo Gulch Zone to
the north and the Friday Zone to the south along the Idaho Gold
Project. The drills have been targeting a 12 km gold-in-soil trend
which extends through the Buffalo Gulch and Deadwood Zones and
correlates with the 30 km Orogrande Shear Zone, a regional
structure identified by geophysics.
The Company wishes to state that potential additional resources
are conceptual in nature only, and that there has been insufficient
exploration to define an increased mineral resource outside of the
current NI 43-101 compliant resource. Furthermore, it is uncertain
if further exploration will result in additional mineral resources.
Estimates for potential additional resources are reported as
exploration targets based on the presence of step-out mineralized
drill holes, known mineralized zones open along strike and depth,
and geophysical trends along strike from data received by the
Company.

Quality Assurance
The Company has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program using best
industry practices at the Friday-Petsite Property. As described in
the Company's News Releases of July 9th, 2009 and December 29th,
2009 the program includes chain of custody of samples, drill core
sawn in half and shipped in sealed bags, blind duplicates, blank
samples and certified standards are inserted in the sample stream.
The samples are then boxed and couriered to Acme Analytical
Laboratories of Vancouver, B.C. a lab certified for the provision
of assays and geochemical analyses (ISO 9001:2008). In Phase-Three,
as with Phase-Two and Phase-One, samples with gold values greater
than 10 g/t are re-analyzed via the metallic screen procedure.
Samples with visible gold were also analyzed initially using the
metallic screen analysis, as were the samples immediately preceding
and following the sample with visible gold. ALS Chemex is the check
laboratory for the program.
Qualified Person
The 2010 Phase-Four exploration program is being directed by
Michael Ostenson, P.Geo., VP Exploration of Premium Exploration
Inc. Mr. Ostenson is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
Mr. Ostenson prepared, and approves of the content in this
