Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
report that lag geochemical sampling of the Windmill target area
has defined a strong anomaly at its 100% owned Sandman Project
(“
Sandman” or the “
Project”)
located in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA.
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- Lag geochemical sampling of
the surface, in Windmill area has defined a new gold anomaly with
up to 1.58 ppm Au at surface, which has been named the “Silica
Valley” target
- The anomaly covers a
significant surface area of 1 km (0.6 mile) long by 600 m (0.4
mile) wide, and is centered about 500m (0.3 mile) east of the
Silica Ridge Mineral Resource Estimate
- Intersections of structures
have been interpreted from geophysical data within the Silica
Valley target
- 300 m (984 ft) deep drill
hole has been planned to test the target as part of the drill
program currently underway
- Drilling is ongoing – first
batch of drilling assay results anticipated in March
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
Geochemical lag sampling is
proving a low-cost effective tool at ‘seeing’ underneath the sand
cover at Sandman. Lag sampling is a non-invasive Australian
sampling method that is like collecting a soil sample, however it
essentially samples rock fragments instead. Our geology team uses
layers of data, such as lag sampling generated geochemistry and
geophysical results to define robust new drill targets in the
pursuit of discoveries undercover. To receive multiple surface
samples of over 1g/t gold in the same vicinity of our geophysical
anomaly is very encouraging and we consider worthy of a few drill
holes.
Background
Assay results have been received from a program
of lag geochemical sampling covering the Windmill target area,
which extends from the Silica Ridge deposit eastwards for about 4
km (2.5 miles). The lag geochemical data define a gold and
pathfinder element anomaly about 1 km (0.6 mile) long and 600 m
(0.4 mile) wide, centered about 500m (0.3 mile) east of the Silica
Ridge deposit, with up to 1.58 ppm Au (Figure 1). The new target
has been named “Silica Valley”.
A NW-trending structure intruded by a mafic dyke
underlies the middle of the Silica Valley target. This structure
intersects an E-W structure interpreted from CSAMT and airborne
magnetic data that influences gold mineralization within the Silica
Ridge Mineral Resource Estimate (refer to press release “Gold
Bull’s Recent Ground Geophysics Defines New Drill Target (Windmill)
at Sandman” dated December 7, 2021). A second NE-trending structure
within the Silica Valley target has recently been interpreted from
geophysical data. Intersections of faults create enhanced rock
porosity and are important controls on the location of gold
mineralization at Sandman. A 300 m (984 ft) drill hole testing the
southern fault intersection has been planned for the program
currently in progress.
A second, more subtle geochemical anomaly was
also defined by the Windmill lag sampling program about 1.7 km (1
mile) east of the Silica Valley target. These results are currently
being assessed in conjunction with the CSAMT data.
About Lag Geochemical
Sampling
Lag sampling is a technique pioneered by Western
Mining Corporation in Australia and has demonstrated effectiveness
in arid terrain (refer to Carver, R.N., Chenoweth, L.M.,
Mazzucchelli, R.H., Oates, C.J., and Robbins, T.W., 1987, “Lag” – a
geochemical sampling medium for arid regions: Journal of
Geochemical Exploration, v. 28, 1-3, p 183-199). The geochemical
sample is collected by screening surficial material gathered within
a 20 m radius of the sample location to remove the fine fraction
(mainly aeolian sand), leaving the coarse residual rock fragments.
Orientation sampling over the northern end of the Silica Ridge
deposit in July 2021 confirmed the effectiveness of this technique
for detecting geochemical expressions of covered gold deposits in
the Sandman terrain.
Next Steps
- Drilling commenced at Sandman on
January 12, 2022 and is expected to continue until late March/early
April. Samples are being submitted to the lab in small batches,
with initial lab results anticipated in March 2022.
- A small drilling program at the Big
Balds project may follow Sandman, depending upon ground access
conditions and weather.
- Analysis of the CSAMT results from
Windmill and Abel Knoll continues.
- A lag geochemical sampling program
has been completed over the northern part of the Midway target
area, together with extensions to the Windmill sampling. Assay
results are awaited.
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
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 250 g aliquots, which are fine
pulverized with 90% 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 were also analyzed using a 36 multi-element
geochemical package by 5-acid digestion, followed by Inductively
Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) for the 36
elements.
