Gold Basin Provides Update on Gold Basin Project Drilling and Announces OTCQB Listing



Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 29, 2021 - Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Gold Basin") – (CSE:GXX) (CNSX:GXX.CN) (OTC:GXXFF) is pleased to announce the completion of 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"), which comprised 103 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes for a total of 9,537m. Highlights from the latest results are shown in Table 1, overleaf, together with Map 1 providing all hole locations.  Final assays are expected at the end of May.

The latest results continue to provide strong encouragement that the Cyclopic Oxide Gold Deposit can deliver a near-surface gold resource.  A significant area of mineralisation has been identified, which remains open in all directions, particularly at depth.  The latest results have again intersected up to three gold-bearing detachment zones. The deepest intersection (Hole CM-20-108) terminated within gold mineralisation at a planned depth of 91.44m, showing further potential below that depth.

The Phase 1 program focussed on the near-surface (above 100m) gold mineralisation, which shows excellent continuity both laterally and vertically over an area 1,650m long (NNW) and over 650m wide (East to West).  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 9,537m in 103 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.
