July 12, 2021 - TheNewsire - Vancouver, British Columbia - Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Gold Basin") (CNSX:GXX.CN) (OTC:GXXFF) announces the completion of 3D modelling of the mineralised structures at the Cyclopic deposit located within its 100%-owned Gold Basin oxide gold project, located in north-western Arizona (the "Gold Basin Project" or the "Project").
Gold Basin's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Povey, commented, "We are pleased that the drill hole interpretation and 3D modelling has confirmed both the continuity and flat lying structure of the gold mineralisation at the Cyclopic deposit, and the stacked nature of these layers extending from surface provides strong support for a potentially low-cost, low-strip open pit mining operation. In addition, drill hole interpretation and 3D modelling has identified logical targets for additional drilling that have excellent potential for expanding the zones of gold mineralisation."
CYCLOPIC MINERALISED STRUCTURES
The recently completed 103-hole, 8,913m reverse-circulation ("RC") phase 1 drilling program (the "RC Drilling Program") by Gold Basin (See news release dated June 9, 2021) at the Cyclopic deposit has confirmed and extended the mineralised zones previously identified in historical drilling. The data provided by the RC Drilling Program, combined with data from over 200 historical drill holes, has enabled the Company to construct a detailed 3D model of the mineralised flat lying "layers" that form the Cyclopic deposit.

Figure 1: Gold Mineralised Structures - Cyclopic Deposit (N-S axis)
Figure 1 shows the orientation of Section Line A-B taken through the Cyclopic deposit model on the approximate North-South axis. The drilling density along this 1.7km long axis is greater than that of the E-W orientation (shown in Figure 2) and clearly shows the continuity of these mineralised structures along strike and their repetition with depth.
Similarly, Figure 2 illustrates the position and mineralised structures on the E-W axis, along Section Line C-D. The less extensive drill coverage is apparent but the drill intercepts show the same layer structure and stacking with no significant dip. Section Line C-D highlights the gaps in drilling both eastwards and westwards, and also illustrates that historical shallow drill holes have intersected the same mineralised layers in the east, (near D in the figure).
The 200-300m gaps between some of the historical intercepts and the main body of drilling are repeated along the entire 1.7 km current strike length and provide priority targets for a new drill program.
Figure 2: Gold Mineralised Structures - Cyclopic Deposit (E-W axis)
Both of Section Lines A-B and C-D show that the gold mineralisation starts at or near the almost-horizontal surface topography and the flat lying “layers” pinch and swell and effectively blend into one another in numerous zones. The layers are stacked on top of one another and extend down to 90m where there is drill coverage to this depth. The majority of the historical drilling averaged only 50m in depth so a large portion of the area of mineralisation remains open to expansion at depth and in all directions.
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
All analyses of samples from the RC Drilling Program were performed by American Assay Lab ("AAL") in Reno, Nevada. Upon arrival in Reno, Nevada at AAL, the samples were prepared using AAL code PV03 procedure (pulverize 0.3kg split to 85% passing 75 micron) and fire-assayed for gold using AAL code FA-PB30-ICP procedure (30gm fire with ICP-OES finish). AAL also inserted its own certified reference materials plus blanks and duplicates. Strict procedures were in place regarding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified assay standards, coarse blank material, standard reference pulps, and split duplicates were routinely inserted into the sample stream to ensure integrity of the assay process.
