GOLDEN SHIELD RESOURCES DRILLS 50 METRES GRADING 9.10 G/T GOLD AT MAZOA HILL, MARUDI

• 50 metres grading 9.10 g/t gold confirms high-grade, continuous mineralization at Mazoa Hill
• Mazoa Hill is one of eight prospects identified so far at the Marudi project
• Drill results from second prospect, Toucan Creek, are pending
• Drilling to recommence in late March, 2022

VANCOUVER, BC, March 14, 2022 /CNW/ - Golden Shield Resources Inc. (CSE: GSRI) (the "Company" or "Golden Shield") is pleased to announce the drill results from the final four holes of a seven-hole program at the Mazoa Hill, one of eight prospects at the Company's flagship, 5,457-hectare, Marudi Mountain gold project located in the Rupununi District of southwestern Guyana (the "Marudi Project").

Results from an additional six holes drilled at the Toucan Creek prospect are pending. The 13 holes drilled at both prospects comprise the Company's phase one, 2,364 metre, 13-hole diamond drilling campaign at the Marudi Project.

MAZOA HILL RESULTS

The seven drill holes drilled at Mazoa Hill were designed to extend mineralization beyond the extents of the historical resource and confirm the historical resource The Company's new interpretation of mineralisation controls will be used to guide future exploration. Results from the first three holes were released on March 7, 2022, and results from the current four holes are summarised in Table 1. These comprise the balance of the phase one drill program at Mazoa Hill.

Table 1 - Mazoa Hill drill hole intersections

Holes at Mazoa Hill were drilled towards the northeast, across the axis of the deposit. Details of the historic resource can be found in the Company's news release dated February 23, 2022. Golden Shield interprets gold mineralization to occur in a series of en-echelon high grade shoots defined by intense silicification within a broader silicified zone, previously described as quartz-metachert (QMC). In these areas silica flooding is associated pyrite pyrrhotite and native gold.

MH-21-04 was drilled to test an undrilled panel in the historical drilling measuring approximately 40 by 40 metres, and to explore for additional mineralised zones in the footwall. The hole was designed to cut the QMC unit but did not reach the eastern contact as the unit changes dip from approximately vertical to steeply north-easterly dipping with depth. Consequently, the Company underscores that the intercepts reported for this hole are not thought to represent true thicknesses. The shallower four of the five high grade intercepts listed in Table 1 comprise a composite intercept of 50 metres assaying 9.10g/t gold. The deeper zone of 12 metres grading 5.47g/t gold is interpreted to represent a downdip continuation of the high-grade intersection in Hole MH-21-03 (Figure 3). The deeper four intersections in the hole are outside the historical resource.

MH-21-05 was drilled to test the southern extension of historical mineralised zones. The hole failed to intersect QMC confirming the change in direction of the unit observed in hole MH-21-04, to steeply north-easterly dipping at depth.

Drill holes MH-21-06 and MH-21-07 and were drilled to confirm the strike extension of the mineralised zone within the QMC unit and was intersected in both holes, extending mineralisation to the south of the historical resource, see Figures 4 and 5.

Dr. Colin Porter, Vice President, Exploration of Golden Shield commented: "We are extremely encouraged by the latest results from Mazoa Hill. The identification of significant and continuous high-grade mineralization outside the existing resource area is confirming our revised structural model. The next round of drilling will be designed to further refine this model and establish the criteria for an updated resource calculation later in the year."

FUTURE PLANS

Since January, the Company's geologists have conducted mapping and sampling traverses of target areas identified from existing data and re-interpretation of helicopter-borne aeromagnetic data. Since January, areas of anomalous gold and outcropping QMC are prioritised for additional sampling and trenching and this has been undertaken at four prospects, with approximately 430 rock chip samples taken plus nine trenches excavated with approximately 510 continuous trench samples taken over a total length of approximately 800 metres. Toucan Creek, described in the Company's news release dated February 23, 2022, is the most advanced of these prospects and the Company is waiting for drill results from 848 metres drilled in six drill holes. Additional drill targets on the Marudi Project are expected to be identified in the coming weeks and additional drill testing carried out.
