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).
