Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
report that extensions to the lag geochemical sampling program in
the Windmill target area and west of the North Hill deposit has
defined additional strong anomalies at its 100% owned Sandman
Project (“
Sandman” or the
“
Project”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada,
USA. The Company intends to increase the current drill program from
4000m to 5000m to test these new targets while the drill rig is
onsite. The Company is fully funded to complete this additional
drilling.
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- Drill program extended from
4000m to 5000m to test new targets
- Strong gold anomaly at
surface (up to 2.36 ppm Au) defined south of North Hill in the
Midway target area = new drill target
- Lag geochemical sampling
program extended from the Silica Valley target area northeast of
Silica Ridge deposit
- Broad gold lag geochemical
anomaly extends west of North Hill in the Sandbowl target area,
where 2021 hole SA-0029 returned 10.7m (35 ft) @ 0.51 g/t Au from
131m (430 ft) in rocks that are not usually mineralized at
Sandman
- Gold and pathfinder antimony
anomalism on parallel structures intersecting the Windmill Target
area indicate that these are possible conduits for mineralizing
fluids along a trend
- Drill holes are planned to
test Sand Bowl and Windmill Targets in May with results anticipated
in June 2022
- Drilling continues onsite –
first batch of assay results for announcing due
imminently
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
Lag geochemical sampling is
proving to be an excellent low cost tool for detecting new
concealed gold areas which have previously not been explored due to
a thin veneer of sand cover obscuring the rocks below. We have
several target areas at Sandman which require this lag test work to
identify new high priority drill targets with the aim of making new
gold discoveries. >1g/t gold at surface is very encouraging and
is worthy of drill testing.
Background
The lag geochemical sampling program that defined a strong
anomaly at the Silica Valley target (refer to press release “Gold
Bull surface sampling defines new drill target at Sandman” dated
February 28, 2022) has been extended, resulting in identification
of new exploration targets at Sandbowl and Windmill as well as
further definition of the Windmill Trend target.
Sandbowl Target
Sandbowl is a target extending from the western
edge of the North Hill deposit into an area covered by sand dunes
with limited to no prior drill testing. Hole SA-0029, drilled in
June 2021 within the southern edge of this target area, returned
12.2 m (40 ft) @ 0.47 g/t Au from 131.1 m (430 ft) down-hole in the
lower fluvial sequence. Gold mineralization in this part of the
Tertiary stratigraphy at Sandman is unusual and may indicate
proximity to a fluid conduit and potential unknown deposit.
The lag sampling program defined a broad zone of
gold (up to 0.108 ppm Au) and pathfinder element anomalism
extending west of the North Hill deposit into the area north of
hole SA-0029. A hole designed to test an interpreted structure
intruded by a mafic dyke is planned and will be drill tested within
the next few weeks.
Midway (North) Target
The lag sampling program covered the northern
end of the Midway target area, which extends between the North Hill
and Silica Ridge deposits. Previous explorers had regarded the
southern end of the North Hill deposit as being closed off by
sparse historic drilling in this area. However, the lag sampling
program defined an anomaly with up to 2.36 ppm Au (sample described
as bleached, quartz-adularia altered basalt/andesite). This result
demands a review of the historic drilling in this area to determine
whether the favorable host units have been adequately tested close
to the already defined North Hill Mineral Resource.
Windmill Target
The Windmill Target was identified using gravity, helicopter
magnetics and CSAMT, which defined intersecting E-W and NNW
structures to the south of the historic drilled Windmill drill
target. The lag sampling program has defined gold and pathfinder
anomalies on two sub-parallel interpreted NNW striking structures
that form part of the Windmill Trend Target. A hole has been
planned to test one of these structures in the current drill
program.
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 rock material gathered
within a 20-30 m radius of the sample location by removing 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
- The strong gold anomaly in lag
sampling south of North Hill indicates that the mineralizing system
may extend beyond the current Mineral Resource Estimate. A review
of historic drilling is planned.
- The current drill program will
extend into May and will include additional drill holes testing the
new Sandbowl and Windmill targets.
- Additional low cost lag sampling is
required at Sandbowl to further define the gold anomalism.
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.
