Gold Springs Resource Reports on Two Additional Targets at its Flagship Project

Rhea-AI Summary

Gold Springs Resource Corp. (OTCQB:GRCAF) reported progress on its Snow and Gem targets in Utah, highlighting high-grade gold and silver surface samples ahead of future drilling. The Snow target, expanded to a 2,000-meter strike length via a CSAMT geophysical survey, showcases significant historical mineralization and recent assay results, including a sample yielding 6.96 g/t gold. The Gem target, intersecting major structural corridors, has also shown promising surface sample results. The ongoing investigations indicate a strong potential for high-quality gold targets.

Positive

• Significant surface samples from Snow target reveal up to 6.96 g/t Au.
• CSAMT survey expanded Snow target to a 2,000-meter strike length.
• Gem target identified at the confluence of two major structural corridors.

Negative

• None.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2020 / Gold Springs Resource Corp. (TSX:GRC)(OTCQB:GRCAF) (the "Company" or "GRC"), is pleased to announce mapping and surface-sample results generated on the Snow and Gem targets on the Utah portion of the Gold Springs project. Fieldwork continues to define the geologic and structural settings, generating high-grade gold and silver values as the targets are readied for future drilling.

The two targets are located on major structural corridors identified at surface as well as by the company's recently reported CSAMT geophysical survey (press release September 2, 2020). The CSAMT survey greatly expanded the Snow target extending it over a 2,000-metre strike length following a major structural corridor similar to that seen at the North and South Jumbo resource areas. The Gem target is located on the large Gold Springs Wash structural corridor, in an area dominantly covered by post-mineral material.

Matias Herrero, President and CEO, stated "We are nearing the completion of our target investigations as we continue to demonstrate large, high-quality targets with multi-gram gold values from surface sampling. In particular, the Snow target has been elevated by this recent work when coupled with the new CSAMT survey results. These targets are located in areas of extensive post-mineral cover, but our field crews continue to produce exciting gold values and have identified the controls for the gold mineralization".

Snow

The Snow target is located 500 metres west of the Fitch target and consists of several historical slot cuts and one historic mine shaft. Much of the area outside of the historic workings is covered with colluvium and post-mineral volcanic flows. Historic workings focused on the east side of a throughgoing north-south Snow Fault defined by a deep valley and exposed in the old workings. The Snow Fault is a major structural corridor that extends for 3.5 kilometers and is highlighted as an extensive geophysical anomaly in the CSAMT data (see press release September 2, 2020).

Historic workings expose intensely clay-altered andesite host rock with stockwork quartz veining within fault and fracture zones. Vein and breccia material are also found in dump piles around historic mine sites. Vein zones exposed at surface are found west of the workings and are haloed by strong clay alterations. Upslope of the vein exposures much of the area is covered with colluvium and weakly-altered andesite float. However, mineralized float in the form of banded and bladed calcite-quartz veins, hydrothermal breccias and stockwork veining is found mixed in with the colluvium cover. This suggest that the epithermal gold system continues under this thin layer of colluvium cover.

Significant surface-sample results greater than the resource cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au are listed below:

Gem

The Gem target is located near the northern extension of the Snow target along the Gold Springs Wash. The Gold Springs Wash is a major structural corridor that trends to the northeast and is a significant controller of mineralization found at the Juniper target (press release April 15, 2020). The Gem target is located at the confluence of the Snow Fault with the Gold Springs Wash Fault. At this intersection, a shallow geophysical anomaly occurs in the CSAMT survey and represents a highly prospective target as both structures are known to host mineralization (press release September 2, 2020). Numerous historic workings are located on both the north and south sides of the Gold Springs Wash. The workings expose heavily-altered andesite with stockwork quartz veining.

Surface sampling from the limited exposures within this target area produced the following significant results greater than the resource cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au:

Sample	Sample Type	Mineralization type	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)
225337	Dump grab	Quarts sericite altered andesite	5.92	4.8
225339	1m chip	Breccia and stockwork quartz sericite altered andesite	0.33	7.4
