Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced results from nine Dark Star deposit infill holes and five exploration drill holes on its 100%-owned/controlled Railroad Gold Project in Nevada's Carlin Trend. Infill hole DS17-35 intersected 237.8m of 2.96 g Au/t, including 93.0m of 5.06 g Au/t, and infill hole DS17-37 intersected 141.8m of 3.32 g Au/t, including 25.9m of 8.63 g Au/t. These are the thickest and highest-grade intercepts drilled to date at the Dark Star deposit, confirming once again the outstanding potential of this thick, laterally-continuous zone of near-surface oxide mineralization. In the northern portion of Dark Star, infill hole DS17-35 intersected 237.8m of 2.96 g Au/t, including 93.0m of 5.06 g Au/t. The intercept is approximately 30m south of DS15-13, which intersected 97.0m of 1.56 g Au/t. DS17-35 ended in 0.53 g Au/t at 259.1m. Approximately 30m south of DS17-35, DS17-37 intersected 141.8m of 3.32 g Au/t, including 25.9m of 8.63 g Au/t. Results from both drill holes substantially outperform the resource block model based on three criteria: Mineralization begins at or near the current topographic surface and is shallower than predicted by the model, higher average gold grades and gold mineralization extends 35 to 42m below the resource block model. Also in the northern portion of Dark Star, infill hole DS17-36 intersected 73.0m of 1.60 g Au/t, including 25.8m of 3.25 g Au/t. DS17-36 is approximately 165m south of DS17-37. These results confirm the resource block model. Assays from the lower 130m of this hole are pending. In the southern part of Dark Star, DS17-41 intersected 33.5m of 0.76 g Au/t including two higher grade zones of 6.1m of 1.10 g Au/t and 7.6m of 1.39 g Au/t. Mineralization in DS17-41 starts at the current topographic surface. Approximately 380m north of DS17-41, DS17-44 intersected 53.4m of 0.27 g Au/t. Results in both holes indicate thicker mineralized intervals than the resource block model in this portion of the oxide deposit. In the southern part of Dark Star, infill drill hole DS17-43 intersected 80.8m of 0.47 g Au/t. Grade of the gold mineralization in DS17-43 appears to outperform the resource block model in this portion of the oxide deposit. Also in the southern part of Dark Star, DS17-40 intersected 57.9m of 0.62 g Au/t starting at the current topographic surface. DS17-34, a metallurgical core hole, intersected 89.9m of 0.51 g Au/t. These results confirm the resource block model. DS17-31, -33, -38, -39, and -42 were exploration holes that tested a variety of geophysical, seismic and geologic targets north and west of the known limits of the Dark Star deposit. These holes did not encounter new zones of gold mineralization.
