Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
report excellent reverse circulation (RC) drill results from its
100% owned Sandman Project, located in Humboldt County, Nevada USA.
Two drill holes were completed at Silica Ridge (Figure 1), and both
holes successfully hit high-grade gold intersections. The recent
drill results returned 83.8m (275 ft) @ 1.50 g/t gold (Au) from
0m/surface in hole SA-0052 and 47.2m (155 ft) @ 1.54 g/t Au from
1.5m (5 ft) in hole SA-0044. Of note, a high-grade intersection of
3m @ 14.67 g/t Au from only 1.5m below the surface was successfully
hit. These results demonstrate the significant extent of gold
mineralization from surface at the Sandman gold project and provide
confidence for the Company to initiate a Scoping Study that will
investigate the economic viability of various near-term production
scenarios at Sandman upon completion of the current drill program.
Highlights & Update:
- Targeted structures returned significant drill intersections of
83.8m of gold mineralization grading 1.50g/t Au
from surface (0m) including very high-grade interval of 3m
@ 14.67 g/t Au from 1.5m in hole SA-0052
- Hole SA-0044 returned 47.2m of gold mineralization
grading 1.54g/t Au from 1.5m including 6.1m @
8.01g/t Au from 3m
- Gold-bearing fault structures were targeted, and further
drilling is warranted to further define the geometry of these
mineralized faults
- The depths and grades for a potential open-pit extraction
method remain encouraging with mineralization from surface and this
will be investigated via a Scoping Study in Q3, 2022
- Drilling is ongoing and the Company remains fully funded
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
The
consistency of high-grade oxide mineralization over tens of meters
at Silica Ridge is very encouraging and is reason to investigate
near-term production scenarios at Sandman. The high-grade intervals
in these two holes, such as 3m at 14.67 g/t Au in one hole and 6.1m
@ 8.01 g/t Au in the other hole - both within the top 10m from the
surface indicates sweet spots that will be investigated in a
Scoping Study for potential mine start-ups. Both holes hit zones
grading 8 g/t gold over 6-meter widths! I feel that Gold Bull is
significantly undervalued given the quality of the Sandman gold
project which continues to deliver via our ongoing drill
program.
Background
Drill hole SA-0052 was planned with a twofold
objective of testing interpreted mineralizing fluid conduits at
depth near the Tertiary unconformity for high-grade veins and
providing improved definition of a high-grade zone within the
current Mineral Resource Estimate. The high-grade zone had been
intersected by SA-0044, which returned 47.2 m (155 ft) @ 1.54 g/t
Au from 1.5 m (5 ft), including 6.1m (20 ft) @ 8.01 g/t Au from 3m
(10 ft) and 1.5 m (5 ft) @ 1.15 g/t from 24.4m (80 ft), as well as
1.5 m (5 ft) @ 0.21 g/t Au from 114.3 m (375 ft). Drill hole
SA-0052 extended this zone, returning 83.8 m (275 ft) @ 1.50 g/t Au
from 0 m (0 ft), including 13.7 m (45 ft) @ 4.52 g/t Au from 0 m (0
ft), which includes 3 m (10 ft) @ 14.67 g/t Au from 1.5 m (5 ft),
and 1.5m (5ft) @ 15.53 g/t Au from 1.5m (5 ft), as well as 3 m (10
ft) @ 2.75 g/t Au from 36.6 m (120 ft), 16.8 m (55 ft) @ 3.05 g/t
Au from 65.5 m (215 ft), and 6.1 m (20 ft) @ 8.24 g/t Au from 71.6
m (235 ft).
Below these high-grade intersections in hole
SA-0052 are numerous narrow, low-grade mineralized intersections
within a zone extending over most of the lower part of the drill
hole, into the Triassic basement rocks (refer to the cross-section
in Figure 2). This broad zone of gold mineralization supports our
belief that high-grade feeder structures exist below the current
Mineral Resource estimate close to this drill hole. Further
drilling is needed to define these structures, particularly below
the current Mineral Resource Estimate.

Next steps
- The current
5,000 m drilling program at Sandman is ongoing. Assays will be
received over the next several months and the deposits will be
re-evaluated for additional ounces.
- Upon receipt of
all
- the assay
results, the Company intends to commence a Scoping/Concept Study
that will investigate the economic viability of various near term
production scenarios, with the aim of providing a focussed approach
for a PEA and/or PFS.
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 at 0.7g/t gold for 494,000 ounces of gold;
comprising of an Indicated Resource of 18,550kt at 0.73g/t gold for
433kozs of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 3,246kt at 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.
