November 19, 2020 - TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia - Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Gold Basin") (CSE:GXX) (CNSX:GXX.CN) announces that exploration drilling has commenced at its Gold Basin oxide gold project in Arizona (the "Gold Basin Project").

The initial drilling program will consist of an 89 hole, ~6000m reverse-circulation ("RC") program that will target and verify the Cyclopic Zone of gold mineralisation identified in historic drilling (Figure 2) on the Gold Basin Project (the "Initial Drilling Program").

Historical exploration work on the Gold Basin Project indicated that oxide mineralisation extends from surface and a large number of historical drill holes were only 30m deep.  In these areas and along the NW-striking mineralised zone (Figure 3), the drilling conducted under the Initial Drilling Program is intended to confirm mineralisation at depth, with drill holes expected to average ~75m with some holes extending to 100m.  The RC drilling results from the Initial Drilling Program will also provide additional geological data in preparation for the next stage of drilling at the Gold Basin Project.
