Gold Basin Announces Filing of Initial Technical Report on Gold Basin Property



 

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - February 26, 2021 - Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Gold Basin Resources") (CSE:GXX) (CNSX:GXX.CN)  announces that it has filed an independent National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical report (the "Technical Report") for its 100% owned Gold Basin oxide gold project located in north-western Arizona (the "Gold Basin Project" or the "Project").

The Technical Report titled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report: Geology and Exploration at the Gold Basin Project Mohave County, Arizona USA" is dated February 25, 2021 and dated effective February 5, 2021, and was prepared by Hard Rock Consulting, LLC.  The Technical Report is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.goldbasincorp.com.

Michael Povey, CEO and President of Gold Basin Resources commented:  "We are pleased to file our initial NI 43-101 technical report on the Gold Basin oxide gold project.  We are continuing with our drill program at Gold Basin and are working towards preparing an initial NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate."

The Company is intending to follow the Technical Report's recommendations in designing and carrying out continued exploration of the Project.  The Technical Report recommends that the Company complete approximately 6,000 feet of additional reverse circulation ("RC") in-fill and definition drilling in both the Cyclopic and Cyclopic NW target areas of the Project (see Figure 1) to define the limits and distribution of mineralization and to potentially support the upgrade of future mineral resource classifications.  The Technical Report also recommends approximately 1,800 feet of PQ diamond core drilling, both to confirm the thickness and grades of the detachment fault zones at Cyclopic and Cyclopic NW, and to provide sample material necessary for preliminary metallurgical testing.

The Company is not reporting a current mineral resource estimate for the Project at this time.  A historical mineral resource estimate was prepared in October 2019, prior to the Company’s acquisition of the Project, by Robin A. Rankin, MSc DIC MAusIMM (CPGeo) of GeoRes (the "2019 Historical Estimate").  While the 2019 Historical Estimate was publicly disclosed in JORC format, it relied largely on historic data which at present lacks sufficient supporting documentation and detail for proper validation as required by NI 43-101.  The Company intends to prepare and report a mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 for the Project following an on-going, comprehensive data validation effort, and following completion of the drilling exploration in progress at the time at this time.

A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the 2019 Historical Estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
