VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“Gold Bull” or the “Company”) is pleased to report continued good progress for the RC drilling program ongoing at Sandman Project, located near Winnemucca, Nevada USA. Thirteen (13) holes have been completed for 2,700m in the current program and numerous holes show encouraging signs of mineralization. Geologists have observed intense alteration (quartz-adularia) and sulphides over several intersections, in numerous holes, which is known to often be associated with mineralization at Sandman.
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- 13 drill holes completed for 2,700m, RC drilling is ongoing.
- Indications of quartz-adularia alteration with pyrite geologically logged in several holes - often associated with mineralization
- Targeting two styles of gold mineralization: narrow high-grade feeders and broad low-grade oxide
- Laboratory assay results pending – with initial drill program assay results expected in the coming weeks
The on-going drill program is intended to grow the existing resource and to find new discoveries within the Sandman concession.
Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:
We are very excited about the potential we are seeing in the RC drill chips and are looking forward to receiving assays back imminently. Unfortunately, due to lab delays in Nevada, assays have been slightly delayed. Despite the delays, drilling and exploration continues, and the technical team is encouraged by Sandman’s progress. We are looking forward to the lab results.
Analytical results have unfortunately been delayed due to significant back logs at the laboratory in Reno. Lab results are now taking 10-12 weeks, up from the previously announced 6-8 weeks which was previously advised by the laboratory.
Assay results for a single hole is anticipated within a week however the bulk of the assays will likely be received commencing next month in April, May and June. The laboratory back log is due to labor shortages in Reno, Nevada. This labor shortage is also reflected in other competing Reno laboratories which currently have similar to longer turnaround times.
The Company is investigating other laboratory partners and rushed services to ensure timely turn-around of drill data.
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 @ 0.7g/t gold for 494,000 ounces of gold; comprising of an Indicated Resource of 18,550kt @ 0.73g/t gold for 433kozs of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 3,246kt @ 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.
