Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
report significant drill intersection of 51.8m (170 ft) at 1.12 g/t
Au from 22.9m (72 ft) from its 100% owned Sandman Project
(“Sandman” or the “Project”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada,
USA. The mineralization demonstrates the quality of width and grade
at Sandman and has provided further encouragement to extend the
drill program from 4,000m to 5,000m while the drill rig is onsite.
The Company is fully funded to complete the extended drill program
at Sandman.
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- Results
from Silica Ridge SA-0045 include
- 51.8m
(170 ft) at 1.12 g/t Au from 22.9m (75 ft) including
- 18.3m
(60 ft) at 1.98 g/t Au from 38.1m (125 ft) including
- 1.5m (5
ft) at 13.13 g/t Au from 41.1m
(135 ft)
- Follow-up deeper drill hole to test the depth extent of
the above high grade gold structure/feeder is
underway
- 2022
Phase 1 drill program is progressing well with 15.5 holes completed
for 3,038m (10,189 ft) and 5.5 holes remaining for 1,962m (6,211
ft)
- Two
different gold deposit styles occur at Sandman, the Company is
targeting both:
- Broad
near surface low grade oxide gold (circa 0.5-1g/t Au)
- Narrow
high-grade gold “feeder” mineralization (circa 5-15 g/t
Au)
- Final drill results will feed into a Scoping Study to
investigate economics of known gold resources
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
The significant drill intersection of 52m of 1.12 g/t
oxidized ore from 23m below the surface further enhances our
confidence in the open pit resource potential at Silica Ridge. The
down dip structures being targeted, including the spectacular
high-grade interval of 13 grams per ton of gold, over a 1.5 meter
mineralized structure, provides confidence in our geological
understanding to progress additional targets. The rig is currently
drilling a hole testing the depth extent of the high-grade
intersection of 13g/t Au.
Background
The 2022 Phase 1 drill program is targeting
structures exploring for high-grade gold, beneath existing
resources close the basement contact, which has not previously been
explored. Preliminary targets have been tested at North Hill,
Silica Ridge and Abel Knoll with additional scout holes planned to
test new discoveries west of North Hill, at Windmill and between
South East Pediment and Abel Knoll.

Silica Ridge drill hole SA-0045
Drill holes at Silica Ridge are targeting structures striking
east-west and north south and have been modelled using higher grade
ore shoots within the existing grade model and projected to depth
towards basement rocks. The east-west fault is further defined by a
dyke which extends eastward to the Windmill target area.

Drill hole SA-0045 returned the most consistent mineralized
intersection, with 51.8m (170 ft) at 1.12 g/t Au from 22.9m (75 ft)
including a high-grade intersection of 1.5m (5 ft) at 13.13 g/t Au
from 41.1m (135 ft). The hole intersected silicified tuff and
quartz-adularia altered iron oxidized sandstone, conglomerate, and
tuff. The gold mineralization is associated with the targeted
structures.
- 51.8m (170 ft) at 1.12 g/t Au from 22.9m (75 ft) (5 of 34
samples <0.2 g/t included) including
- 6.1m (20 ft) at 1.41 g/t Au from
22.9m (75 ft) including
- 3m (10 ft) at 2.28 g/t Au from 25.9m
(85 ft)
- 18.3m (60 ft) at 1.98 g/t Au from 38.1m (125 ft) including
- 1.5m (5 ft) at 13.13 g/t Au from
41.1m (135 ft)
- 1.5m (5 ft) at 1.78 g/t Au from
57.9m (190 ft)
- 13.7m (45 ft) at 0.86 g/t Au from
61m (200 ft) including
- 7.6m (25 ft) at 1.25 g/t Au from
65.5m (73.2 ft)

3. Silica Ridge cross section showing holes SA-0043, SA-0045 and
SA-0052 currently in progress.
Hole SA-0043 targeted the same structure as
SA-0045, however the hole encountered difficult drilling conditions
and drooped beneath its planned trajectory. Hole SA-0045 tested the
structure, but the intersection point was well above the Tertiary
unconformity targeted. The presence of gold mineralization within
the target structure at higher elevations is encouraging. Hole
SA-0052 will continue with a new drill rig in the next few days,
which we intend to push to the planned target depth of 250m (820
ft). Despite appearing very close together in Figure 2, the current
hole is located approximately 60-70m from hole SA-0045.
North Hill
Preliminary results have been received for some
of the North Hill holes drilled recently and further analysis is
underway. Intervals of pervasive mineralization have been
intersected and will be modeled in 3D to be used as vectors in
additional drilling.
Drill hole SA-0035 at North Hill was planned to
intersect an interpreted mineralizing fluid feeder structure close
to the Tertiary unconformity. The presence of such a structure was
predicted from the Mineral Resource Estimate 3D gold grade model,
which contains several linear high-grade zones interpreted to arise
from intersections of high-angle faults carrying mineralizing
fluids with favorable host units. The interpreted structure was
projected down to the Tertiary unconformity using an assumed angle
of dip. Drill hole SA-0035 intersected a zone returning 32 m (105
ft) at 0.16 g/t Au from 129.5 m (425 ft) (using 0.1 g/t Au external
cut-off and no internal cut-off), spanning the unconformity between
the basal Tertiary fluvial sequence and the underlying Triassic
phyllite. Although this zone is not the bonanza grade vein
originally targeted, it possibly represents lateral migration of
mineralizing fluids within the porous Tertiary conglomerate from a
nearby feeder structure cutting the unconformity – i.e., a
near-miss of the target. The mineralized zone is unusual; the basal
conglomerate is mineralized in only a few instances at Sandman.
Drill hole SA-0035 also intersected 13.7 m (45
ft) at 0.98 g/t Au from 42.7 m (140 ft) (with 10 ft of internal
waste <0.2 g/t Au), including 1.5 m (5 ft) at 5.1 g/t Au from
50.3 m (165 ft) within the North Hill Mineral Resource estimate.
Several narrow (1.5 to 3 m wide) zones of mineralization were also
intersected.
Abel Knoll
Step out drilling at Abel Knoll intersected
mineralization in SA-0050 along the targeted northeastern structure
giving indication the resource extends eastward, broad anomalous
gold was returned. Mineralization remains open to the east, north
and below the existing mineral resource at Abel Knoll and further
studies are required to understand the potential total tonnage and
grade that could be yielded from this deposit.
Drill Summary Tables
Tables 1 to 4, provided in the Appendix are
summaries of the drilling completed in 2022. Table 1 provides
summary of the drill holes planned, drilled and those remaining.
Table 2 provides tracking summary of those holes drilled, their
depth and assay tracking. Table 3 provides summary of the drill
hole collar information for those holes drilled. Table 4 provides
summary of mineralized intersections for analyses received to date
for the drill program.
Next Steps
Drilling is ongoing with 5.5 holes left in the
current drill program. Upon completion of drilling and receipt of
outstanding laboratory analysis, further interpretations and
evaluation will be conducted for the 2022 Phase 1 program.
The Company will consider commissioning a
revised resource estimation post the drill program which would feed
into a scoping study to investigate the economics of developing the
project.
About Sandman
In December 2020, Gold Bull purchased the
Sandman Project from Newmont. Gold mineralization was first
discovered at Sandman in 1987 by Kennecott and the project has been
intermittently explored since then. There are four known pit
constrained gold resources located within the Sandman Project,
consisting of 21.8Mt at 0.7g/t gold for 494,000 ounces of gold;
comprising of an Indicated Resource of 18,550kt at 0.73g/t gold for
433kozs of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 3,246kt at 0.58g/t
gold for 61kozs of gold. Several of the resources remain open in
multiple directions and the bulk of the historical drilling has
been conducted to a depth of less than 100m. Sandman is
conveniently located circa 25-30 km northwest of the mining town of
Winnemucca, Nevada.
