GSP Resource Corp. (
TSX-V: GSPR) (
FRA:
0YD) (the “
Company” or
“
GSP”) announces final diamond drill results from
the Summer 2021 drilling program at the Alwin Mine project (the
“
Alwin Property”) located in the Highland Valley
Copper Camp of British Columbia.
Five holes totalling 1,439 meters were completed
to test the bulk tonnage Copper potential of unmined mineralization
within and surrounding the historic Alwin mine. Complete analytical
results for holes AM21-2, AM21-4 and AM21-5 have now been received
and analyzed, along with the previously reported results for AM21-1
and AM21-3.
Alwin Summer 2021 Drilling Program Bulk
Tonnage Grade Highlights:
- Hole AM21-05 - 0.61% CuEq over 164.6 m;
- Hole AM21-02 – 0.14% CuEq over 176.7 m;
- Hole AM21-01 – 0.21% CuEq over 229.7 m,
including:
- 0.28% CuEq over 158.5 m
- 0.48% CuEq over 79.3 m
GSP is currently in the final stages of planning
a fully funded follow up drilling program expected to be mobilized
in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Fall 2021 drilling program is
expected to further test the bulk tonnage grade potential North of
Alwin deposit with 3 diamond drill holes collared from the North of
the historic deposit.

GSP President & CEO Simon Dyakowski,
commented:
“The Final results of
GSP’s Summer drilling program further support a shallow bulk
tonnage deposit model at Alwin. The Summer program also yielded a
new exploration target with the discovery of a new zone of
mineralization under the western part of the main Alwin zone at the
bottom of hole AM21-02 and AM21-04. GSP is now in the final stages
of preparing for a follow up drilling program to further expand the
Alwin bulk tonnage grade model, with additional drill holes North
of the Main Alwin zone. The results of the upcoming drill program,
in conjunction with GSP’s prior exploration results will form the
basis for an expanded bulk tonnage grade exploration model for what
was previously considered a historic underground deposit.”
Summer 2021 Drill Program Hole
Summaries:
Hole AM 21-05 was collared to
intersect the 3 zone under a historic intersection grading 4.7% Cu
over a horizontal 3.5 m. The hole intersected, over 10.6 m, several
narrow zones grading 0.38% CuEq. The hole at 136 m intersected the
4S zone and continued in the steeply north dipping portion of the
zone for an additional 35.5 m, returning an average grade of 2.71%
CuEq over this interval. Within this interval, the hole intersected
four previously mined out sections totalling 8.8 m. This
intersection returned an assumed grade of 3.51% CuEq. The hole
(including the mined-out intervals) averaged a non true width
adjusted 0.61% CuEq over 164.6 metres length.

AM21-05
Hole AM21-02 was collared 200 m
west southwest of hole AM21-01 and drilled to intersect an eastern
6 zone intersection. This intersection returned 3.48% CuEq from a
drilled length of 2.6 m. Similar to Hole AM-21-1A, a copper
mineralized quartz vein and stockwork zone was again intersected
south of the Alwin Mine. Part of this zone returned 0.235% CuEq
over a 43.15 m drilled length. This hole, from 37.75 to 221.5
metres graded 0.138% CuEq.
Near the planned final depth of the hole the
rock was increasing in alteration and the hole was extended to a
total depth of 367 m (1204 ft). From 338.8 to 351.5 m an intensely
mesothermal to epithermal clay style altered shear hosting
dilational quartz vein fragments hosting coarse grained pyrite and
chalcopyrite was intersected. The sheared intrusive also hosted
deformed chalcopyrite bearing quartz stockwork. This intersection
(12.1 m) returned 0.13% CuEq including elevated molybdenum and
rhenium values.

AM21-02
Hole AM-21-04 was collared to
intersect the west part of the 6 zone about 200 m west of the hole
AM-21-02 intersection. The hole intersected the zone grading 1.16%
CuEq over a drilled length of 3 metres and was an estimated 10 m
west of the targeted historic intersection grading 5.8% copper over
3.1 horizontal metres. Similar to hole AM-21-02, this hole was also
extended and again intersected from 241.9 to 254 m similar sheared,
clay altered chalcopyrite stockwork mineralized intrusive. This
intersection (12.1 m) returned 0.11% CuEq including elevated
molybdenum and rhenium values.

AM21-04
Hole AM21-01A (previously
reported) was targeted to intersect an unmined portion of the
historic 4 South zone. The hole was collared from the south of the
Alwin deposit near its known eastern extent and successfully
intersected portions of several known and previously unrecognized
copper mineral zones.
Highlight intersections include the targeted
4South zone grading 4.42% copper, 3.5 gpt gold, 92.8 gpt silver,
and 0.14 ppm rhenium (6.15% CuEq) over a drilled length of 4.4m. Up
hole from the 4South zone, drill hole AM21-01 intersected a
post-Alwin Highland Valley style quartz vein stockwork copper zone
grading 0.133% copper and 0.204% copper equivalent over a 32.3m
drilled length from 102.7m to 134.0m. Similar mineralization was
intersected in hole 20-10D some 300 m to the southwest (please see
news release date March 2, 2021).
Extensions of the 4North zone were intersected
at depth that graded 0.13% copper equivalent over 12.9 meters. The
hole returned a 158.5m drilled length grading 0.284% CuEq from both
Alwin and Highland Valley style mineralization.

AM21-01A
Hole AM21-03 (previously
reported) was collared 200m west southwest of hole AM21-01and
drilled northeastward to a deep unmined target of the historic #3
zone. The intersection is approximately 100 metres southwest from
the hole 1 target but 50 metres deeper. The hole steepened more
than expected and the primary target was undercut.

AM21-03
GSP's Summer 2021 drilling program focused on a
300-metre-by-100-metre-by-250-metre-plus deep portion of the Alwin
replacement-style copper deposit. The style of mineralization is
observed as subvertical individual, or multiple and closely spaced,
subparallel in situ muscovite-quartz-sericite wall rock replacement
zones. On a mine scale, the zones form a rough conjugate partially
interlocking system with subvertical west-northwest and
west-southwest zones. Individual zones average 100 to 150 metres
long by up to 250 metres vertical and zones can reach 10 metres
thick grading over 4 per cent copper.

In addition to the main “replacement style”
Alwin Mine target, the Alwin property hosts several incompletely
explored porphyry copper-molybdenum targets to the north and west
of the mine. The Alwin deposit’s known east end is less than 2.5 km
west of and 270 metres higher than the Valley pits west edge of
Teck Corporation’s Highland Valley Mine, the largest open-pit
porphyry copper- molybdenum mine in Canada. The Highland Valley
Mine had a reported 0.278% copper head grade according to a 2019
presentation
(https://www.teck.com/media/Teck-Highland-Valley-Copper-Site-Visit-2019-HVC-Presentation.pdf)
and Teck Resource’s 2020 Annual Information Form (“AIF”) filed on
SEDAR reports mineral reserves at the Highland Valley mine using a
0.09% CuEq cutoff grade.
About the Alwin Mine Project:
The 575.72 hectares Alwin Mine Copper-Silver-Gold property is
located on the semi-arid, interior plateau in south-central British
Columbia. The historic underground mine, which was developed over
500 meters long by 300 meters deep by 200 meters wide volume
produced from 1916 to 1981 from five major subvertical zones
233,100 tonnes that milled 3,786 tonnes of copper, 2,729 kilograms
of silver and 46.2 kilograms of gold. The average diluted head
grade was 1.5 % copper. Gold and silver content associated with
bornite increase with depth within the individual mineralized
zones.
Qualified Person: Exploration
activities at the Alwin mine project including QA-QC procedures and
protocols were designed by and supervised on site by the Company's
exploration consultant Leopold J. Lindinger, P.Geo. of Renaissance
Geoscience Services Inc. In accordance with National Instrument
43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, Leopold J.
Lindinger, P.Geo. is the qualified person for the project and has
prepared, validated and approved the technical and scientific
content of this news release. The Company is attempting to adhere
to CIM best practices guidelines in conducting, documenting and
reporting the exploration activities on its projects. Mr. Lindinger
verified the data disclosed which includes a review of the
sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information and
opinions contained therein. Mineralization hosted on nearby
properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may
be hosted on the Alwin property.
Quality Assurance -- Quality Control
(QA-QC) procedures: The QAQC program was designed and
overseen by Leopold J. Lindinger, P.Geo.. and is designed to adhere
to exploration CIM best practice guidelines.
The core was delivered to on site secure core
processing facilities by the drillers. The core was then washed,
reassembled as best a possible, imaged, logged, and sampled. All
personnel involved in the core logging and sampling procedures were
independent of GSP or directly supervised by independent personnel.
They included employees of Renaissance Geoscience services Inc.,
Waldo Geological services and subcontractors supplied by GSP.
Sampling was completed by sawing or splitting the core in half. One
half was replaced in its former position and orientation in the
core box and the other in a prelabelled poly bag. In addition to
core, random blanks and field standard material were inserted into
the sample stream. The blanks chosen were cement sand and massive
homogenous Tertiary basalt. The chosen standards were supplied by
CDN Resource Minerals Ltd. of Langley BC. Every run of 50 samples
had at least one blank and standard placed into the sample stream.
Several samples were ¼ split with the samples associated with
numerically significantly different sample tags. Most samples and
every well mineralized interval had at least one density
measurement taken. The material density measured was chosen by the
core logger as representative of the material in the sample.
Chain of Custody
procedures.
The prepared bagged drill core samples were
taken from the secure mine site by independent project personnel to
a truck loading point and delivered to Bureau Veritas Mineral
Laboratories (BV) analytical facility in Vancouver, B.C., for
preparation and analysis by independent bonded trucking company
Overland West.
Laboratory qualifications and
independence
The BV facility is accredited to the Bureau
Veritas system certification to internationally recognized
standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 45001 and is
independent of the Company and the qualified person. All analytical
methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with
established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is crushed
and 0.25 kilogram is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 30-gram
fire assay fusion with atomic absorption finish with a lower limit
of 0.01 part per million and upper limit of 100 parts per million.
Analysis for silver is by 30-gram fire assay fusion with
gravimetric finish with a lower limit of five ppm and upper limit
of 10,000 ppm. A 0.5 gm subsample for all samples was submitted for
digestion using BV’s 46 element multi-acid –ICP- ES/MS package. All
samples are also analyzed using a 48-multielement geochemical
package by a four-acid digestion. Copper reporting over 5000 ppm
and silver reporting over 1 ppm are analyzed using their MA-401
package producing % copper, and ppm silver results. The Company
detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.
Other than poor core recovery of some high grade intersections, the
Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, or other factors
that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the
data referred to herein.
