April 6, 2021 - TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia - Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "GXX") (CNSX:GXX.CN) is pleased to announce continued strong drilling results for the Phase 1 Drilling Program at the Cyclopic area of its 100%-owned Gold Basin oxide gold project, located in north-western Arizona (the "Gold Basin Project" or the "Project") approximately 1.5 hours’ drive over major highways and paved roads from Las Vegas.  

The Company has received additional assay results for 18 drill holes from the Phase 1 Drilling Program, with continued broad zones of gold-bearing mineralisation identified between surface and 100m depth. Another 900+ samples are currently being  assayed and results are expected within the next 2‑3 weeks.  For more details regarding previous drilling results for the Phase 1 Drilling Program at the Gold Basin Project, see the Company's news releases dated February 8, 2021 and March 3, 2021.

HIGHLIGHTS

• - 86 holes, totalling approximately 7,594m, with hole depths ranging from67mto110m have now been drilled by the Company as part of the Phase 1 DrillingProgram.

  - Drilling will resume next week on the final16 holes to complete the approximate 100-hole Phase 1 Drilling Program.

  - Diamond drilling will also commence in the coming weeks to collect samples for metallurgical test-work.

GEOLOGICAL CONTINUITY CONFIRMED BY PHASE 1 DRILLING

The Phase 1 Drilling Program was expanded twice due to the continued positive results received, and the program has confirmed a series of vertically-stacked, laterally-extensive mineralised zones identified in both the historical and current drilling.  The Company will continue to test the Project’s potential below 50m depth and laterally to the east and west of the main Cyclopic structure.

A summary of the most significant results from the most recent assays received are shown in Table 1 below.

Note: All holes drilled vertically (90 degrees).

All reverse circulation ("RC") holes drilled in the Phase 1 Drilling Program have validated the gold-mineralisation model at the Cyclopic deposit, which consists of a series of vertically-stacked and laterally-extensive sub-horizontal gold-bearing structures.  The gold bearing structures are laterally very extensive, covering an area 1,650m long (NNW) and over 650m wide (East to West), starting at surface and extending to over 90m depth.  The gold-bearing structures pinch and swell in all directions and, in places, are more than 50m thick and contain continuous gold mineralisation.  The structures remain open in all directions. The main Cyclopic structure runs in a NNW-SSE direction and has been mapped for more than 10km. It is largely untested outside the current 1,650m strike extent, presenting a high-priority exploration target.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

The Company initiated RC drilling on the Gold Basin Project on November 14, 2020 and has to date drilled approximately 7,594m in 86 holes, with hole depths ranging from 67m to 110m. All holes are   vertical and are being drilled with dry air (no injected water or other fluid) using a centre-return hammer.

Samples are collected every 5 feet (1.52m) and are reduced on-site using a triple-tier Gilson splitter, producing a 2kg - 3kg assay sample and a 3kg - 5kg twin sample that can be used for met testing or re- assay work. Coarse blank material, standard reference pulps, and split duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on a 1-in-20 sample basis such that each 23-sample group contains one blank, one duplicate, and one reference pulp. Three standard reference pulps at three different gold grades (0.154 ppm, 0.778ppm, and 2.58ppm) are being used. One 1.52m drill interval in every four intervals    is weighed in order to monitor recovery.

Assay samples are placed in shipping sacks, together with the field inserts, upon completion of each hole. After four holes are completed, all assay samples are transported in their respective shipping sacks to the FedEx Freight centre in Kingman, Arizona by a site geologist, and the samples are sent via  FedEx to American Assay Lab ("AAL") in Reno, Nevada.  Prior to shipping, all assay samples are maintained under the direct control and supervision of the on-site geological staff.

Upon arrival in Reno, Nevada at AAL, the samples are prepared using AAL code PV03 procedure (pulverize 0.3kg split to 85% passing 75 micron) and fire-assayed for gold using AAL code FA-PB30-ICP  procedure (30gm fire with ICP-OES finish).  AAL also inserts its own certified reference materials plus blanks and duplicates.
