VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2022 / Gold Springs Resource Corp. (TSX:GRC)(OTCQB:GRCAF) (the "Company" or "GRC"), has received assays from the final drill holes at South Jumbo as part of the 2022 drill campaign on its large Gold Springs project located in USA, on the border of Nevada and Utah, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.
Highlights include:
- 0.83 g/t gold equivalent over 18.3 meters including
1.89 g/t gold equivalent over 6.1 meters in hole E-22-015 - 0.75 g/t gold equivalent over 6.1 meters in hole E-22-017
- 0.53 g/t gold equivalent over 13.8 meters and
0.96 g/t gold equivalent over 6.1 meters in hole E-22-018 - 1.05 g/t gold equivalent over 4.6 meters and
0.74 g/t gold equivalent over 26.0 meters in hole E-22-020
Gold equivalent based on US$1,800/oz gold, US$25/oz silver and 50% for silver recovery.
Randall Moore, Executive Vice President of Exploration, stated:
""These results of our 2022 drill program confirm the significant potential for expansion of our current gold resource at South Jumbo in various directions:
- To the South - hole E-22-015 .
- To the North - hole E-22-020 .
- In the gap zone between the two resource blocks - holes E-22-017 and E-22-018.
GRC has now demonstrated the extension of gold mineralization in three different directions and also at depth. To the North the extension is significant as the hole E-22-020 with 1.05 g/t AuEq over 4.6 meters and 0.74 g/t AuEq over 26 meters is 80 meters north from the existing resource.
Once we update our model, follow-up holes will be planned with the objective to continue to expand gold mineralization in every direction, but especially to the north, towards Central Jumbo."

Approximately 7 kg of RC chips were sent to the laboratory for each 1.52 meter drill intervals. Standards and blanks are submitted into the sample stream at the rate of 15% for QA/QC purposes. In addition, the laboratory also includes duplicates of samples, standards and blanks. The results of these check assays are reviewed prior to the release of data. All RC sample assays are also reviewed for their geological context and checked against the drill logs.
Assay Method
Assays were performed in Reno, Nevada by ALS Geochemical, an ISO 9001:2000 certified and independent laboratory. Gold was analyzed by fire assay of a 30-gram sample with an AAS finish with samples assaying greater than 5 g/t re-assayed using a 30-gram sample and a gravity finish. Silver is analyzed by a four-acid leach ICP method.
