Gold Basin Resources has completed a diamond drilling program at the Cyclopic and Stealth deposits located within its 100 percent owned Gold Basin oxide gold project, located in north-western Arizona. The drill holes were planned and drilled to provide fresh core for a metallurgical testwork program to be undertaken by metallurgical consultants Kappes Cassiday & Associates (KCA), based in Reno, Nevada. KCA is a highly experienced company with particular expertise with the metallurgy of heap leach operations.

METALLURGICAL TESTWORK PROGRAM

• Diamond Drilling
In April and May 2021, a total of six diamond core holes were drilled at the Gold Basin Project, and the primary purpose of these drill holes was to obtain fresh and representative core samples of the mineralized oxide ore.

Logging of the diamond drill core and sample selection for the metallurgical testwork program is currently being undertaken by the company in conjunction with KCA. It is expected that sample selection will be completed by July 5, 2021.

• Gold Recovery Testwork
The company has agreed to a scope of work with KCA for a testwork program that is designed to determine the head and leach characteristics for gold recovery from the Gold Basin Project oxide ore. Fine gold is known to exist in the ore matrix and the PQ core samples will be split into two parallel streams; conventional crushing and high pressure grinding rolls crushing.

The crushed material will also undergo a series of tests that includes; direct cyanidation - coarse bottle roll test, preliminary agglomeration, compacted permeability tests, and column leach tests.

The initial column leach period will be sixty (60) days with additional time if deemed necessary.  It is expected that the total time frame for the metallurgical testwork program from commencement to the final report will be approximately 4-6 months.

PEAK INVESTOR MARKETING

In addition, the company is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Peak Investor Marketing, a full-service marketing and consulting services firm focused on the junior mining sector. Peak is an independent arms-length entity and will assist Gold Basin with marketing strategy and planning, corporate communications and public relations, with the goal of increasing market awareness of the company.
