Gold Standard drills 27.4 m of 1.26 g/t Au at Railroad

Mr. Jason Attew reports

GOLD STANDARD CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND DEFINE PINION SB ZONE

Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has released positive drill results from eight reverse circulation (RC) drill holes at the Pinion SB zone as part of its 2021 exploration and development program (see press release dated May 20, 2021). The SB zone is the contiguous southeast extension of the Pinion deposit.

Jason Attew, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are very encouraged by the 2021 drilling results at the SB zone. We are intersecting mineralization closer to surface than previously estimated and the target remains open to the south and east. We look forward to continuing to explore this target in 2022 with the goal of adding to the existing Pinion mineral resource by year-end."

Key highlights:

  • The SB zone represents the best mine life extension opportunity at the South Railroad project; potential production from this zone would be additive to the life-of-mine plan contemplated in the coming feasibility study.
  • PR21-07 intersected 27.4 metres of 1.26 grams per tonne gold, one of the highest-grade intercepts at the SB zone to date.
  • PR21-06 intersected 45.7 m of 0.52 g/t Au with mineralization beginning closer to surface than previous estimations of the SB zone; the geological interpretation of this development will inform future SB zone drill programs.
  • PR21-01 and PR21-02 were two of the most eastern holes ever drilled at SB zone, and PR21-03 and PR21-04 were two of the most southern holes ever drilled at SB zone; all four drill holes intersected mineralization and prove the target remains open to the south and to the east.
  • The 2021 program is a follow-up of the significant intercepts from the 2020 SB zone program, which included 61.1 m of 1.07 g/t Au in hole PC20-22.

Note: Gold intervals reported in this table were calculated using a 
0.14 g/t Au cut-off for oxide mineralization. Weighted averaging has 
been used to calculate all reported intervals. True widths are 
estimated at 70 to 90 per cent of drilled thicknesses.

Sampling methodology, chain of custody, quality control and quality assurance

All Gold Standard sampling was conducted under the supervision of the company's senior geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. A blank, certified reference material or rig duplicate was inserted approximately every 10th sample. Samples were delivered to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories preparation facility in either Sparks, Nev., or Hermosillo, Mexico, where they were crushed and pulverized. Resulting sample pulps were digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on a 30-gram split. Overlimit gold assays were determined using a fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish on a 30-gram split. All other elements were determined by induced coupled plasma (ICP) in Vancouver, B.C. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results. Additional QA/QC testing was completed with American Assay Labs in Reno, Nev., on the original sample pulps prepared by Bureau Veritas using fire assay fusion with an ICP finish.

Drill hole deviation was measured by gyroscopic downhole surveys that were completed on all holes by International Directional Services of Elko, Nev. Final drill collar locations are surveyed by differential GPS (Global Positioning System) by Apex Surveying LLC of Spring Creek, Nev.

All third party laboratories and service providers used or retained in the analysis of the samples are independent of Gold Standard.
