Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 17, 2023) - Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) ("Goldshore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from its ongoing 100,000-meter drill program at the Moss Lake Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada (the "Moss Lake Gold Project").
Highlights:
- Results for seven holes, drilled to infill the western part of the QES Zone, have confirmed and extended closely spaced higher-grade gold mineralized structures within a large volume of mineralized diorite. The holes were drilled to infill a sparsely tested volume at 300 to 500 meters vertical depth over a 500-meter strike length. These results improve the resolution of modelled shears and will potentially facilitate the expansion of pit-constrained mineral resource in this volume. Best intercepts include (from East to West):
- 1.03 g/t Au over 152.0m from 464.0m depth in MQD-22-072 including
- 1.03 g/t Au over 10.25m from 466.7m,
- 1.27 g/t Au over 8.55m from 478.95m, and
- 1.76 g/t Au over 61m from 514m
- 0.95 g/t Au over 130.85m from 436.15m depth in MQD-22-070, including
- 1.37 g/t Au over 41.75m from 451.25m, and
- 1.40 g/t Au over 29.0m from 518m
- 0.61 g/t Au over 137.0m from 501.0m depth in MQD-22-092 including
- 2.67 g/t Au over 3.65m from 511.3m,
- 1.76 g/t Au over 6.0m from 568m, and
- 1.22 g/t Au over 8.7m from 625m
- 0.64 g/t Au over 153.2m from521.0m, including
- 1.32 g/t Au over 8.65m from 533m,
- 1.19 g/t Au over 9.0m from 557m, and
- 1.00 g/t Au over 24.5m from 579.5m
- Hole MQD-22-094 collared in a new high-grade shear zone to the south of the QES Zone that is believed to be an extension of the historic Boundary Zone. This is one of many parallel shears that remains to be fully tested.
- 1.94 g/t Au over 11.3m from 1.7m in MQD-22-094
President and CEO Brett Richards stated: "The results from these drill holes in the QES Zone are part of the 52-hole data set that was not included in the recent mineral resource estimate. They confirm our belief that there are additional high-grade shear zones within the deposit that will add to the shear domain component of the mineral resource that we anticipate will be prioritized in the mining schedule when we conduct our preliminary economic analysis this year."
Technical Overview
Figure 1 shows the better intercepts in plan view and Figure 2 is a typical section through hole MQD-22-072. Table 1 shows the significant intercepts. Table 2 shows the drill hole locations.

Results have been received for seven holes that have infilled a poorly drilled volume of the QES Zone over a strike length of 500 meters and at a depth of 300 to 500 meters. This corresponds to the base of the constraining pit shell to the 2022 mineral resource and is an addition of drill data 100-200 meters beneath most of the drilling in the area.
The results confirm the geological interpretation that multiple higher-grade shears are hosted within a greater volume of low-grade intrusion host and that this model extends at depth. The addition of structural data at depth and along strike will allow for improved modelling of the shear system and increased confidence in the mineralization, which should allow for an expansion of the Mineral Resource in this area.
As with previous drill holes, the intercepts reported herein include several narrow high-grade intercepts that mark the approximate centerline of shears. Examples include: 11.3 g/t Au over 1.6m from 507.05m depth in MQD-22-062; 10.4 g/t Au over 1m from 529m in MQD-22-070; 21.0 g/t Au over 0.45m from 522m, 23.6 g/t Au over 0.45m from 526.8m, 14.1 g/t Au over 0.5m from 536m, 13.8 g/t Au over 1m from 549m and 11.5 g/t Au over 0.45m from 571m depth in MQD-22-072; 15.0 g/t Au over 0.4m from 580.85m in MQD-22-094 and 11.0 g/t Au over 0.6m from 636.6m in MQD-22-097.

The observation of parallel shears outside of the diorite intrusion, as noted near the collar of MQD-22-094, implies that the mineralized system extends beyond the limits of intrusion. This suggests substantial exploration potential, particularly where the mineralized shears might transect additional, but yet unmapped, intrusions.
Pete Flindell, VP Exploration for Goldshore, said "These drill results confirm the high-grade shears that we have modelled at the QES Zone and show that there are additional shears that we can model ahead of the next mineral resource update. This should all work together to add to the pit constrained mineral resource."

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures
All samples were sent to ALS Geochemistry in Thunder Bay for preparation and analysis was performed in the ALS Vancouver analytical facility. ALS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for the Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were analyzed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish ("Au-AA23") and 48 pathfinder elements via ICP-MS after four-acid digestion ("ME-MS61"). Samples that assayed over 10 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish ("Au-GRA21").
In addition to ALS quality assurance / quality control ("QA/QC") protocols, Goldshore has implemented a quality control program for all samples collected through the drilling program. The quality control program was designed by a qualified and independent third party, with a focus on the quality of analytical results for gold. Analytical results are received, imported to our secure on-line database and evaluated to meet our established guidelines to ensure that all sample batches pass industry best practice for analytical quality control. Certified reference materials are considered acceptable if values returned are within three standard deviations of the certified value reported by the manufacture of the material. In addition to the certified reference material, certified blank material is included in the sample stream to monitor contamination during sample preparation. Blank material results are assessed based on the returned gold result being less than ten times the quoted lower detection limit of the analytical method. The results of the on-going analytical quality control program are evaluated and reported to Goldshore by Orix Geoscience Inc.
