Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
report assay results for the first hole drilled in 2021 at its 100%
owned Sandman Project (“Sandman” or the “Project”) located in
Humboldt County, Nevada, USA. The Company has commenced a Phase 1
Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program consisting of 3000m for 17
drill holes. Hole SA0001 at the Abel Knoll resource was designed to
test the depth extension, width and grade of the mineralized
diatreme breccia in the vicinity of a historic drill hole that
ended in high grade gold mineralization (AK06-023 ended in 9.6 g/t
gold).
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- Drill hole SA0001
intersected 144.8m at 1.67g/t Au from 65.5m including:
- 6.1m at 10.75g/t Au from
143.3m
- 97.5m at 2.23g/t Au from
96m
- Gold mineralization remains
open at depth
- Mineralization appears
almost entirely oxidized
- Drilling at Sandman is
ongoing – more assay results expected soon
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
This is a sensational result and is
an outstanding start to our first drill program at
Sandman! The mineralization intersected in SA0001 extended
further down-hole than predicted by the current resource model,
which had assumed that the diatreme breccia was narrowing. The
high-grade zone of 6.1 m @ 10.75 g/t is located toward the center
of the diatreme body and has not been closed off by drilling at
depth.
Background
Gold mineralization at Abel Knoll is hosted
within a near-vertically plunging polylithic diatreme breccia body
composed of vesicular to aphanitic andesite, basement phyllites and
quartzites, tuffaceous wall rocks, and trace Mesozoic granodiorite
within an ash and crystal fragment matrix. The Abel Knoll geology
is unlike any of the other mineral resources located within the
project.
Drill hole SA0001 was designed to determine the
extent of the Abel Knoll mineralized diatreme breccia body in the
vicinity of historic hole AK06-0023, which ended at 198 m (650 ft)
in material grading 9.6 g/t Au. This hole (AK06-0023) had been
drilled down the plunge of a high-grade zone, so SA0001 was
intended to sample a more representative cross-section of the
entire width of the breccia body.

Hole SA0001 intersected the diatreme breccia
from 67.1 m to 187.5 m down-hole before passing into Triassic
phyllite country rock to end of hole. A mineralized interval of
144.8 m @ 1.67 g/t Au from 65.5 m down-hole corresponds to the
diatreme breccia and zones of mineralized basalt and phyllite at
the margins. This zone includes 97.5m @ 2.23g/t Au from 96m (using
1 g/t Au cut-off), which includes 6.1m @ 10.75g/t Au from 143.3m
(using 5 g/t Au cut-off). The diatreme breccia intersected by this
hole consists almost entirely of oxide material, with some narrow
zones of transition and sulphide material.
Additional drilling is warranted at Abel Knoll
to further investigate these high-grade results and to close off
the resource.

About Sandman
In December 2020, Gold Bull purchased the
Sandman Project from Newmont. Gold mineralization was first
discovered at Sandman in 1987 by Kennecott and the project has been
intermittently explored since then. There are four known pit
constrained gold resources located within the Sandman Project,
consisting of 21.8Mt @ 0.7g/t gold for 494,000 ounces of gold;
comprising of an Indicated Resource of 18,550kt @ 0.73g/t gold for
433kozs of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 3,246kt @ 0.58g/t gold
for 61kozs of gold. Several of the resources remain open in
multiple directions and the bulk of the historical drilling has
been conducted to a depth of less than 100m. Sandman is
conveniently located circa 25-30 km northwest of the mining town of
Winnemucca, Nevada.

Quality Assurance – Quality Control
Drilling was completed using Reverse Circulation
(RC) drilling utilizing double wall drill pipe, interchange hammer
and 4¾ inch hammer bits to drill and sample the rock formation.
Samples were taken over 5 foot intervals (1.52m) and were collected
after separation of the sample using a rotary splitter situated at
the base of the cyclone. A small portion of the rock chips for each
5 foot interval was placed into chip trays for record keeping and
geological logging. The samples bagged at the rig were taken to
American Assay Laboratories in Sparks NV by a Company employee. The
Company inserts quality control (QC) samples at regular intervals
in the sample stream, including blanks and reference materials with
all sample shipments to monitor laboratory performance. The QAQC
program is overseen by the Company’s Qualified Person, Cherie
Leeden, Chief Executive Officer.
Samples are submitted to American Assay
Laboratories’ analytical facility in Sparks, Nevada for preparation
and analysis. The AAL facility is ISO-17025 accredited by IAS. The
entire sample is dried, weighed and crushed, with 70% passing -10
mesh, then riffle split to 250g aliquots, which are fine pulverized
with 85% passing -150mesh. Analysis for gold is by 30 g fire assay
lead collection with Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission
Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) finish with a lower limit of 0.003 ppm.
Samples with gold assays above 10 ppm are re-analyzed using a 30 g
fire assay fusion with gravimetric finish, which has a lower
detection limit of 0.1029 ppm. Ten foot composite samples were also
analyzed using a 48 multi-element geochemical package by 5-acid
digestion, followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission
Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass
Spectroscopy (ICP-MS).
