Gold Basin Reports Multiple Thick Intersections Including 51.8m @ 1.4 G/T Gold from Maiden Drill Program at Stealth Deposit

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• Multiple gold intersections over 20m in thickness with grades exceeding 1g/t Au.

• Results to date include:

• 51.8m @ 1.4g/t Au from 13.7m in hole ST22-003

• 47.2m @ 1.0g/t Au from 73.2m in hole ST22-012

• 33.5m @ 2.6g/t Au from 97.5m in hole ST22-002

• including 4.6m @ 11.6g/t Au

• 30.5m @ 1.2g/t Au from 18.3m in hole ST22-005

• 25.9m @ 1.7g/t Au from 13.7m in hole ST22-004

• The Stealth Deposit lies 900m south-west of the Cyclopic Deposit, on a north-west trending structure (the Stealth Fault) sub-parallel to the Cyclopic Fault. The Stealth Fault has been mapped for over 8km, a similar length to the main Cyclopic Fault.

• The current drill program at Stealth has covered only 350m of strike length, entirely on land where both the surface and mineral rights are owned by the Company.

• Gold mineralisation has similar sub-horizontal geometry to the Cyclopic Deposit, with high-grade sub-vertical cross-cutting gold-bearing structures.

• 25 RC holes, totalling 3,741m have been completed at Stealth, including 20 vertical and 5 high-angle holes.

• Assays have been received for all holes. The results from 11 holes are listed overleaf and the Company aims to release the balance of results next week.

Michael Povey, CEO of Gold Basin commented: "These first results from our maiden drill program at Stealth are outstanding and exceed any expectations we had based on historic exploration data. In addition to excellent grades, the multiple thick intersections are extremely encouraging and indicative that the potential for a higher-grade, near-surface resource at Stealth is very high."

The drilling completed at the Stealth oxide gold deposit is focussed on confirming historical drilling intercepts and testing both lateral and depth extensions of the known gold mineralisation. Results from the current drill program have been very encouraging, with broad intersections of gold mineralisation in multiple holes. Of particular note is hole ST22-003, which intersected 1.4g/t gold over 51.8m from 13.7m, demonstrating the excellent continuity of gold mineralisation at Stealth from close to surface.

The 2022 drill program at Stealth has tested a relatively small area (350m x 150m) of the mapped Stealth Fault, which is over 8km in strike length and remains largely undrilled for most of this extent.

Background

The Gold Basin oxide-gold project is located in North-West Arizona, within 1.5-hour's drive of Las Vegas, Nevada, over major highways and paved roads. Gold Basin benefits from excellent accessibility and infrastructure, with high-voltage powerlines running directly from the Hoover Dam hydroelectric plant through the property.

The major features of the project are two sub-parallel regional-scale north-west trending structures, approximately 1km apart, that host the Cyclopic and Stealth deposits, the two major historical gold deposits on the property.

The current 110-hole, ~12,000m drilling program follows up on the excellent results from the 100-hole, ~10,000, Phase I program completed in 2020-21. The current program is testing multiple targets at the Cyclopic and Stealth deposits.

Phase I drilling established broad zones of flat-lying gold mineralisation over a 1,500m long by 650m wide area at the Cyclopic in sub-horizontal detachment faults, with higher-grade gold mineralisation in cross-cutting vertical structures. The current drilling at the Stealth deposit is the maiden program for the Company in this part of the project, designed to test previous gold intersections in historical drilling as well as extensions to known gold mineralisation.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance

Gold Basin Resources Corp. initiated the Phase 2 RC drilling program on its Gold Basin property in February, 2022 and has to date drilled 7,018m in 60 holes, with hole depths ranging from 91m to 244m. The majority of holes are vertical and are being drilled with dry air (no injected water or other fluid) using a centre-return hammer.

Samples are collected every 5 feet (1.52m) and are reduced on-site using a triple-tier Gilson splitter, producing a 2kg-3kg assay sample and a 3kg-5kg twin sample that can be used for met testing or re-assay work. Coarse blank material, standard reference pulps, and split duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on a 1-in-20 sample basis such that each 23-sample group contains one blank, one duplicate, and one reference pulp. Three standard reference pulps at three different gold grades (0.154ppm, 0.778ppm, and 2.58ppm) are being used. One 1.52m drill interval in every four intervals is weighed in order to monitor recovery.

Assay samples are placed in shipping sacks together with the field inserts upon completion of each hole. After four holes are completed, all assay samples are transported in their respective shipping sacks ALS in Tucson, Arizona by a GXX contractor. Prior to shipping, all samples are maintained under the direct control and supervision of the on-site geological staff.

Upon arrival in Tucson, AZ at ALS (ALS), the samples are prepared using ALS codes CRU-31, SPL-31 and PUL-32 procedures (pulverize 1kg split to 85% passing 75 micron) and fire-assayed for gold using ALS Code Au-AA25 procedure (30gm fire assay with AA finish). ALS also inserts its own certified reference materials plus blanks and duplicates.
