Gold Springs Resource Continues to Expand Gold Mineralization at the Charlie Ross Resource
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2022 / Gold Springs Resource Corp. (TSX:GRC - OTCQB:GRCAF) (the "Company" or "GRC") reports the first assays results from the 2022 drill program around the Charlie Ross Resource of its Gold Springs project located in USA, on the border of Nevada and Utah.
Highlights include:
- 1.20 g/t gold equivalent over 10.7 meters and
0.70 g/t gold equivalent over 13.7 meters in hole CR-22-001 - 0.77 g/t gold equivalent over 4.6 meters and
0.78 g/t gold equivalent over 3.0 meters in hole CR-22-002 - 2.09 g/t gold equivalent over 3.0 meters and
0.96 g/t gold equivalent over 9.2 meters in hole CR-22-003
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:
"With these first 2022 holes around the Charlie Ross resource, we have successfully extended the gold mineralization into the western zone of the system. We have already drilled 12 additional holes to continue to test this western zone and to look for extensions on the central and eastern zones of this 2022 discovery. We expect assay results in October.

These results continue to demonstrate our ability to expand gold mineralization from our existing resources at Charlie Ross, South Jumbo and North Jumbo, as well as to discover new gold mineralization in undrilled targets, such as Snow in 2022 and Charlie Ross and White Point in 2021.
We are currently drilling on the undrilled Horseshoe Extension target and following the southern extension discovered at North Jumbo, where hole J-22-005 returned 1.87 g/t gold equivalent over 29.0 meters including 3.73 g/t over 9.2 meters (please see GRC's press release dated September 19, 2022). We are also constructing additional drill pads on our new discovery at the Snow target and will be moving a drill early next month to follow up hole SN-22-002 which returned 1.98 g/t gold equivalent over 3.0 meters and 0.70 g/t over 27.4 meters (please see GRC's press release dated September 22, 2022)."
2022 Drilling Program
The Company has now completed 69 holes totaling 14,942 meters of the planned 21,000-meter program. Drilling has targeted the North and South Jumbo resources, the Charlie Ross resource, as well as the Red Light, Snow, and the Horseshoe Extension targets.
GRC is currently drilling on the southern extension of the North Jumbo resource and on the undrilled Horseshoe Extension target. Starting early next month, one of the drills will move back to the Snow target to follow up on this new 2022 discovery.
Charlie Ross
The discovery hole at Charlie Ross was drilled in 2021 and after 22 holes successfully completed, GRC was able to identify a new resource that was reported in the new Mineral Resource Estimate NI 43-101 Technical Report dated July 11, 2022.
This target is highlighted by a significant CSAMT geophysical anomaly that extends over an area 1100x600 meters and is located just west of the North Jennie target on the edge of the Gold Springs caldera complex. Gold is controlled by north-south trending structural corridors with three possible parallel zones.
The Charlie Ross resource is part of a structural zone of the historical Charlie Ross mine that was a producer at the beginning of the 20th century, with one shaft and 400 meters of drifts and stopes. Visible gold was found in rocks from the dump of this historic mine. Historical reports describe a 53 meters inclined shaft with a 12 meters talc zone containing very high grade gold telluride and sylvanite streaks with bonanza gold grades.
