Gold Standard Ventures Provides Exploration Update and Strengthens Technical Team

03.08.2021  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Aug. 03, 2021 - Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (NYSE AMERICAN: GSV) (TSX: GSV) ("Gold Standard" or the "Company") today announced drill results from reverse circulation ("RC") holes and core drilling during 2020 at the POD and Sweet Hollow oxide gold deposits and a Central Bullion skarn target.

Key Exploration Highlights:

  • 21 RC drill holes were completed as step outs to the current oxide resources at POD and Sweet Hollow. The oxide mineralization result reported in RR20-04 (12.1m @ 2.07 g Au/t) extends known mineralization by 30 to 60 meters.
  • Elevated silver grades were encountered in the drilling of up to 130 g Ag/t. Currently, silver is not modeled in the resources at POD and Sweet Hollow.
  • Five drill holes were completed at the historical Central Bullion mining district, focused on historical producing zones. Historic records indicate high grade silver, copper, lead, and zinc production, with small amounts of gold, that were processed from this district. Drill hole RRB20-03 intersected 64.2m @ 20 g Ag/t, 0.50% Cu, 0.60% Zn, 0.10% Pb, 0.06 g Au/t starting from surface.

Jason Attew, President and CEO, commented, "Drilling at the POD and Sweet Hollow oxide gold deposits expanded known mineralization, accomplishing a key objective of the drilling program. This area, along with Jasperoid Wash and LT, showcase the potential for future satellite pits to the South Railroad Project. Drilling in future seasons will continue to focus on expanding the oxide resource base. At Central Bullion, drilling intersected a skarn target that warrants further work to understand the potential of the system."

Other Highlights:

  • Six metallurgical core drill holes (RR20-28 through RR20-33) were completed to provide material for column leach testing on the current oxide resource. All six holes encountered mineralization consistent with the current resource model.
  • Six RC drill holes (RR20-01, 02, 10, 18, 21, and 23) were completed testing exploration targets outside the known resource area. Results indicate a possible connection between the POD and Sweet Hollow mineralized zones.

Note: Gold intervals reported in this table were calculated using a 0.14 g Au/t equivalent cutoff for oxide mineralization oxide with >50% AuCN/AuFA ratios. POD and Sweet Hollow silver values reported where >8 g Ag/t. Weighted averaging has been used to calculate all reported intervals. True widths are estimated at 80-90% of drilled thicknesses. Drill holes presented in this table have a gold equivalent gram-meter product greater than 10.

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 tenth sample. Samples were delivered to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories preparation facility in either Sparks, NV 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. Over limit gold assays were determined using a fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish on a 30-gram split. All other elements were determined by 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 insure accurate and verifiable results.

Drill hole deviation was measured by gyroscopic down hole surveys that were completed on all holes by International Directional Services of Elko, NV. Final drill collar locations are surveyed by differential GPS by Apex Surveying, LLC of Spring Creek, Nevada.

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