Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
report assay results from resource extension drill holes at the
North Hill and Silica Ridge Prospects within its 100% owned Sandman
Project (“Sandman” or the “Project”) located in Humboldt County,
Nevada, USA. Holes SA-0024 and SA-0027 drilled at the edges of the
Silica Ridge and North Hill deposits have intersected gold
mineralization that is currently open in several directions. These
drill results indicate potential to expand the deposits and
follow-up holes are planned for later in 2021. The Company recently
commenced a Phase 2 5000m Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program of
which 2126 m (6975 ft) for 12 holes has been completed.
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- Two mineralization styles
and targets exist at Sandman
- Narrow high grade gold
mineralization (circa 10g/t over <5m widths)
- Broad low grade gold
mineralization (circa 0.4g/t – 1g/t over >15m
widths)
- Drill hole SA-0024 at
Silica Ridge intersected:
- 19.8 m (65 ft) @ 0.67 g/t
Au from 111.3 m (365 ft), including:
- 9.1 m @ 1.13 g/t Au from
114.3 m (375 ft)
- Silica Ridge mineralization
intersected in SA-0024 is open to the west, projecting up-dip into
an under-explored sand-covered area
- Drill hole SA-0027 at North
Hill intersected three mineralized intervals:
- 19.8 m (65 ft) @ 0.6 g/t Au
from 4.6 m (15 ft), including:
- 6.1 m (20 ft) @ 1.18 g/t Au
from 9.1 m (30 ft)
- 15.2 m (50 ft) @ 0.39 g/t
Au from 30.5 m (100 ft)
- 21.3 m (70 ft) @ 0.44 g/t
Au from 51.8 m (170 ft)
- North Hill mineralization
intersected in SA-0027 is open to the east at shallow
depths
- These results open
previously untested areas in which the Mineral Resource Estimate
may be expanded by drilling
- More laboratory assay
results expected imminently
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
The gold intersection in
SA-0024 appears to represent a mineralized block of the same rocks
that host gold at Silica Ridge that has been downthrown to the west
by faulting and consequently has not been tested by previous
drilling. The rocks in this area are tilted to the east so we
expect to intersect the same receptive rocks – hopefully also
mineralized - closer to surface west of the location of this hole.
This result opens a new prospective area for exploration close to
the Silica Ridge deposit and informs our planned drill program to
the north in the Midway, an underexplored area between North Hill
& Silica ridge. The SA-0027 intersection at North Hill confirms
that the flat-lying gold mineralization remains open to the east
and is close to surface, well within range of a possible open pit.
The area east of North Hill has received little historic drilling
and we have two holes planned to test for extensions to the deposit
later this year when the RC rig returns.
Background
The recently complete Phase 2 drill program at
Sandman comprised both exploration and resource extension holes.
Results from SA-0024 at Silica Ridge and SA-0027 at North Hill
indicate that both deposits remain open.
The gold mineralization at Silica Ridge is
mostly influenced by a large north-north-west striking fault
dipping to the west associated with antithetic steep easterly
dipping faults in the hanging wall of the Silica Ridge fault.
Lithology also plays an important role in localizing gold
mineralization. The primary host units at Silica Ridge are fluvial
siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate, and epiclastic tuff of the
Comforter Basin. High gold values are usually located in fault
breccias, especially where coincident with conglomerate beds.
Hole SA-0024, drilled on the western margin of
the Silica Ridge Mineral Resource Estimate, intersected the
favorable conglomerate unit, with evidence of faulting (rapid
transition to fractured, oxidized rock), from 109.7 m to 131.1 m
(360 to 430 feet), returning 19.8 m (65 ft) @ 0.67 g/t Au from
111.3 m (365 ft), including 9.1 m @ 1.13 g/t Au from 114.3 m (375
ft) – refer to cross section (Figure 1) and drill status plan
(Figure 2). The closest intersection of the conglomerate in
historic drilling was from 39.6 m to 45.9 m (130 to 180 feet)
down-hole in SR06-0122, indicating a vertical displacement of
around 75 m.

If this downthrown block of prospective host
rocks has continuity to the north and south, this would represent a
significant untested area for future resource extension drilling.
The overall dip direction in the Silica Ridge – North Hill area is
toward the east, so the downthrown conglomerate host rocks are
expected to project up-dip to the west of Silica Ridge into an area
with little historic drilling that is covered by sand dunes.
Gold mineralization at North Hill occurs in
shallow dipping, bedding parallel domains. The higher
concentrations and more extensively defined mineralized zones are
associated with either the upper or lower contact position of a
basalt unit. Hole SA-0027 was drilled at the eastern edge of the
current Mineral Resource Estimate in an area where historic
drilling was too shallow to intersect the prospective basalt
contacts. The purpose of the hole was to define a new eastern limit
to the extent of low-grade gold mineralization.
Hole SA-0027 returned three mineralized
intervals (Figure 3 and Figure 4): 19.8 m (65 ft) @ 0.6 g/t Au from
4.6 m (15 ft), (including: 6.1 m (20 ft) @ 1.18 g/t Au from 9.1 m
(30 ft)), 15.2 m (50 ft) @ 0.39 g/t Au from 30.5 m (100 ft), and
21.3 m (70 ft) @ 0.44 g/t Au from 51.8 m (170 ft). The dip of the
mineralized contacts appears to flatten in this area. The bottom of
the deepest interval of gold mineralization in SA-0027 is 65 m (213
ft) vertical depth below surface, which is within range of a
possible open pit design. The mineralization remains open to the
east, with few historic holes having been drilled east of North
Hill. This area will be a focus of drilling during the Phase 3
program planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.

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 85% passing -10
mesh, then riffle split to 1 kg aliquots, which are fine pulverized
with 90% passing -150mesh. Analysis for gold is by 50 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 50 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 35 multi-element (plus Se and Hg) geochemical
package by 5-acid digestion, followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma
Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Inductively Coupled
Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS).
