Great Basin Gold Ltd. TSX: GBG AMEX: GBN JSE: GBG

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 27, 2007) - Great Basin Gold Ltd. ("Great Basin" or the "Company") (TSX:GBG)(AMEX:GBN)(JSE:GBG) announced that it had reached an agreement with Hunter Dickinson Inc. ("HDI") in terms of which the management contract that existed between the parties since December 31, 1996 has been terminated. Great Basin Gold agreed to a termination fee of C$350,000, which will be funded through the issue of 135,659 Great Basin Gold common shares to HDI. The shares will be issued at C$2.58, the 30 day volume weighted average price trading on the TSX preceding August 31, 2007, which is the effective date of the cancellation of the agreement.

President and CEO, Ferdi Dippenaar said: "We have had an excellent relationship with the team from HDI, and will continue to make use of some of their services, albeit on an ad hoc basis. As Great Basin Gold has grown and built its own capacity and skills, its dependence on the range of services supplied by HDI has decreased over the past year. Great Basin Gold is at an interesting phase of its development and is making good progress with its two development projects, thereby transforming the company from an advanced explorer to an emerging gold producer."

Great Basin Gold has two advanced stage gold projects in two of the world's best known gold environments. In addition to its Burnstone Gold Project in South Africa's Witwatersrand Goldfield, the Company holds a 100% interest in the Hollister Property on the Carlin Trend in Nevada, USA.
