GOLD STANDARD ANNOUNCES FILING OF NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT ON THE DARK STAR GOLD DEPOSIT AND AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has filed a technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 on the Dark Star gold deposit. The report supports the disclosure made by the company in its news release on March 3, 2015, entitled "Gold Standard completes initial resource estimate for the Dark Star gold deposit, Carlin trend, Nevada," and there are no material differences in the mineral resources contained in the report from those disclosed in the news release.

The report dated April 17, 2015, is entitled "Technical report, maiden resource estimate, Dark Star deposit, Elko county, Nevada, USA," and was prepared by independent qualified persons (as that term is defined in NI 43-101) under the direction of Michael Dufresne, MSc, PGeol, PGeo, Steven Nicholls, BASc, MAIG, and Andrew Turner, BSc, PGeol, of APEX Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, Canada.

The report is available for review on both SEDAR and the company's website.

The company also announces that its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2014, that are to be part of its annual report, have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and also with the Toronto Stock Exchange. These financial statements are available on EDGAR and on SEDAR, and also on the company's website.

The audit report from the company's independent registered public accountant in the company's 2014 audited consolidated financial statements contained a going-concern explanatory note resulting from the need for external financing to finance operations and exploration activities after 2014. This press release and public confirmation of the going-concern note are required by Section 610 (b) of the NYSE MKT company guide, which requires a listed company that receives an audit report that contains a going-concern qualification to make a separate public announcement in the United States.

The content and interpretations contained in this news release have been reviewed, verified and approved by Steven R. Koehler, Gold Standard's manager of projects, BSc in geology, CPG-10216, a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 (standards of disclosure for mineral projects).
