His support, especially at a time when key commodities such as copper and gold are entering a major bullish phase, greatly enhances our confidence and momentum as we move forward."

The Gregory River Property

Golden Spike Resources Corp.'s Gregory River Property is located on the west coast of Newfoundland and was acquired by the Company in July 2022. The Property spans 3,425 hectares and is centered on an 11-km stretch of the prospective Gregory River volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") corridor. Along this trend exploration dates back to the 1920's and since that time several priority Cu-Au-Zn VMS prospects and targets have been identified, along with multiple high-grade copper + gold veins. The Property is located along the same trend as the York Harbour deposit known for its copper-zinc-silver VMS mineralization, and has seen various phases of historical and current exploration, including prospecting, geological mapping, soil sampling, geophysics and diamond drilling. Historical exploration efforts have uncovered high-grade copper veins with grades often exceeding 10% copper.

The Gregory River copper-gold property work program will commence this summer and focus on further exploration at the highly prospective Lode 9 and Steep Brook VMS-targets, as well as the Vein Zone, where a series of sub-parallel, high-grade copper-gold veins have been previously identified. All three target areas are fully permitted, allowing the company to complete the necessary work to pinpoint drill targets and execute any subsequent drill programs this coming fall.

The work program will include prospecting and sampling, IP/Resistivity surveys over Steep Brook and the Vein Zone, followed by and data interpretation and modelling to generate diamond drill targets. Drilling would follow in a second phase of exploration this fall. Golden Spike is deeply committed to sustainable and environmentally conscious exploration practices. We are working in close partnership with local prospectors, consultants, and the community to kick off our exploration program.
