Shareholder Update: GSP Resource Corp. 2023 Review and 2024 Outlook



GSP Resource Corp.

News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - January 17, 2024: GSP Resource Corp. (TSXV:GSPR) (FRA:0YD) (the “Company” or “GSP”) provides shareholders with the following outlook for 2024 and review of 2023 activities.  GSP’s core asset is an option to acquire a 100% interest in the past producing Alwin Copper Mine located in BC’s Highland Valley Copper Camp.

Christopher I. Dyakowski, Chairman of GSP Stated: “GSP’s principal asset is an option to acquire 100% of one of the most strategically located high-grade copper and polymetallic projects in British Columbia.  The Company is advancing the project at an exciting time in the copper market with BloombergNEF reporting that ‘demand for copper is set to continue rising and is anticipated to exceed primary supply within the next four years. The mismatch in supply and demand is likely to result in copper prices surging 20% by 2027’.”

Simon C. Dyakowski, CEO of GSP commented: “2023 was a turnaround year for GSP Resource Corp. as we successfully restarted exploration activities in the third quarter upon completion of data review and modelling efforts earlier in the year.  Our new database of over 60,000m of historical drilling data has resulted in the creation of new digital tools, assisting us in geological modelling and targeting potential expansions of the Alwin mine mineralization.  With the data compilation in hand, GSP was able to finance and mobilize a follow up exploration and drilling program in the Summer which was successfully completed in the Fall.  We now eagerly await the receipt of assays results from our recently completed drilling program.”

 

2023 Year in Review Highlights:

Alwin Mine Project

  • Completed the Digital and 3D spatial capture of 646 drill holes totaling 51,304 metres completed from surface and underground between 1967-1981, in addition to 36 recent surface exploration diamond core holes totaling 5,600 metres drilled by the Company and previous operators, representing over $20 million in present day exploration value assuming all-up drilling costs of $400/metre, not including underground development costs. 

  • Completed a mineralization model generating multiple new untested high priority drill ready targets within the Alwin Mine defining the potential for previously unrecognized moderate west, and shallow east plunging continuity of high-grade copper zones. 

  • Planned and completed a detailed ground magnetic survey and surface diamond drill program. The 2023 drill program consisted of 5 drill holes and was designed to target potential extensions of known high grade copper zones at the Alwin Property located in the Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia. 

  • All five 2023 drill holes exhibited visual sulphide mineralization intervals interpreted to be part of or adjacent to the historic 4 Zone, assay results of the drilling are pending for release in early 2024. 

Corporate

  • Closed private placement financings totaling over $815,000. 

  • Appointed Mr. Rodney Stevens, CFA to the Board of Directors and Mr. Allen David V. Heyl, B.Sc., CPG., to the Technical Advisory Board. 

Outlook for 2024

  • Alwin: Report assay results of recently completed field exploration and drilling program.  

  • Alwin: Plan a substantial follow up data interpretation and exploration program to support a potential future resource estimate and test additional targets. 

  • Continually evaluate new opportunities to add shareholder value through the acquisition of projects in the Americas.
