Goldstrike Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:GSR) (OTC
PINK:APRAF) (FRANKFURT:KCG1) is pleased to report two significant
gold-in-soil discoveries, the “Sure Bet” gold zone on the newly
staked Hot Spot property and the “Gold Crest” zone on the newly
staked Bull’s Eye property. Both gold mineralized zones remain wide
open for expansion. Discovery of these projects comes as
result of Goldstrike’s in-house project generation efforts, led by
a world class team with a proven track record of success.
Successful project generation resulting in discovery continues to
add assets to the company’s portfolio for long term growth.
HOT SPOT PROPERTY
Sure Bet zone – 150 by 150 metre high
grade gold-in-soil anomaly that remains open.
Reconnaissance soil sampling in 2017 returned three multi-gram
values as high as 4.1 grams per tonne gold. The soil grid
contained 97 samples. From this grid:
- Three samples contained gold ranging from 1021 ppb gold
to 4110 ppb.
- Three samples contained gold ranging from 330 ppb gold
to 867 ppb.
- Ten samples contained gold ranging from 99.8 ppb gold
to 245 ppb.
- Fourteen samples contained gold ranging from 34 ppb
gold to 71 ppb.
Rock chip grab samples from hand dug pits near
soil sample sites have also returned up to 389 ppb gold.
Recommended follow-up exploration includes
expanding the soil grid to define the full extent of the gold
anomaly, mechanized trenching and ground geophysics, all in
preparation for drilling. Soil geochemical results from the Sure
Bet zone exceed those seen early on at Goldstrike’s Lucky Strike
property. The company will apply the same cost effective, proven
techniques to the Hot Spot property that resulted in a discovery at
Lucky Strike. See Figure 1 below for a summary of the
results.
The Hot Spot property overlies a steeply incised
gold bearing placer creek, coincident with a major contact between
a regionally mapped Eocene felsic volcanic plug (porphyritic
rhyolite) and older Permian to Proterozoic basement schists. A
regional stream sediment sample containing 123 ppb gold (a 99th
percentile sample within the Yukon regional stream sediment
database) was collected from a stream draining from the property.
The source of this anomalous sample remains to be located.
Follow-up exploration of the catchment area is a key priority for
the next phase of exploration.

BULL’S EYE PROPERTY
Gold Crest zone – 250 by 200 metre
high-grade gold-in-soil anomaly that remains open.
2017 soil sampling returned values up to 215 ppb
gold in soils from 121 samples collected. Of the
samples collected from this grid, twenty-eight samples contained
gold ranging from 31.9 ppb gold to 215 ppb. Rock grab samples from
the Gold Crest zone contained up to 253 ppb Au.
Recommended follow-up exploration includes
expanding the soil grid to define the full extent of the gold
anomaly, mechanized trenching and ground geophysics, all in
preparation for drilling. See Figure 2 below for a summary of the
2017 results.
http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/57a7c97c-8276-48ae-91a8-9664645b18cd
The Bull’s Eye property is adjacent to and
contiguous with K2 Gold Corporation’s Wels property where recent
drilling intersected 2.37 g/t Au over 28.5 m in 2017 (August 10,
2017 – K2 Gold Corporation News Release). The southern portion of
the property is drained by creeks containing anomalous gold values
in regional stream sediment samples.
Both the Gold Crest and Sure Bet zones are
original discoveries on ground with no recorded historical
work.
STATEMENTS
Message from Terry King, President and CEO:
“The Goldstrike team members are top tier
project generators with a long, proven track record of success, as
demonstrated by the Plateau and Lucky Strike discoveries.
Lucky Strike is one of the most important new discoveries in the
White Gold Camp in 2017. The newly added Hotspot and Bulls Eye
properties will complement our portfolio of properties in the White
Gold District, all of which are 100% owned without the burden of
underlying royalties or property payments. This model for project
generation has been the catalyst for Goldstrike’s growth and has
allowed us to create important new strategic relationships and
partnerships such as our current joint venture with Newmont Mining.
We look forward to expanding on all of our exciting new
discoveries in 2018.”
Message from Chief Geologist Stefan
Kruse, Ph.D., P.Geo:
“These early-stage results from the Hot Spot and
Bull’s Eye properties are extremely encouraging. Positive
gold-in-soil anomalies are one of the best predictors for
discovering new gold deposits in the White Gold district.”
OTHER
Sample analysis and assaying for all of
Goldstrike's projects have been conducted by Bureau Veritas Mineral
Laboratories Canada (formerly Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd) in
Vancouver, BC, which is ISO 9001 accredited laboratory. Soil
samples are dried at 60C, and 100 grams are sieved to -80
mesh. A 15 gram sample split is then leached in aqua regia at
95 degrees C, and analyzed by a 36-element ICP package that
includes semi-quantitative gold. Rock and drill core samples
are crushed to 80% -10 mesh, and a 500 gram sample split is
pulverized to 85% -200 mesh. 50 gram charges are then assayed
for gold using fire assay fusion and ICP-ES finish with a lower
detection limit of 2 ppb, and an upper detection limit of 10 ppm
Au. In addition, 0.5 mg charges are digested by modified
1:1:1 aqua regia (HCl-HNO3-H20) and analyzed by 36-element ICP-MS
that also includes semi-quantitative gold with a lower detection
limit of 0.5 ppb Au and an upper detection limit of 100 ppm
Au. Rigorous procedures are in place regarding sample
collection, chain of custody and data entry. Independent
reference standards and blank were not used due to the
reconnaissance nature of this work. Top-tier soil samples
were sent for reanalysis to confirm grades. Grab samples are
selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on
the property.
Stefan Kruse, Ph.D., P.Geo., Chief Geologist, is
a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for
Goldstrike's Yukon exploration projects, and supervised the
preparation of, and has reviewed and approved, the technical
information in this release.
