Goldshore Resources to Accelerate Drilling of the Moss Lake Gold Deposit and Recently Discovered Parallel Zones
Goldshore Resources to Accelerate Drilling of the
Moss Lake Gold Deposit and Recently Discovered Parallel Zones
VANCOUVER, B.C., April 26, 2022: Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR / OTCQB: GSHRF
/ FWB: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company”), is pleased to update the market on its Moss Lake
Project activities for the forthcoming spring and summer exploration period.
Key Points
• The Company is expanding the exploration program to 8-10 rigs as soon as possible and
remains well funded with a treasury of nearly $20M;
• The Company is accelerating its metallurgical test work; structural geology understanding,
3D geologic model(s) and analysis of historical core;
• The 2021 VTEM survey highlighted 29 quality drill targets including potential expansion of
the Moss Lake strike length; as well as the potential for a resource increase at East
Coldstream; and the Company will attempt to identify maiden resources at other known
mineralized targets; and
• Drilling of these targets has yielded positive results including 6.3g/t Au over 58.85m News:
Goldshore Drills 6.3 g/t Au over 58.85m at Moss Lake (goldshoreresources.com)
Earlier in the year, the Company released the detailed interpretation and analysis of the VTEM
geophysical survey conducted in 2021 (see Press Release dated March 10, 2022: Technical
Analysis: Goldshore’s VTEM Results Greatly Expand the Prospectivity). This produced 29 quality
drill target areas, including 11 new Moss Lake target styles that potentially expand the strike length
by over 4x from 2.5km to over 11km.
Subsequently, initial drilling of several of the targets successfully intersect ed new gold
minerlization including the hole MMD-21-008 that returned 6.3 g/t Au over 58.85 metres and
interpreted to be a high grade structure in the Moss Lake Deposit. (see press release Goldshore
Drills 6.3 g/t Au over 58.85m at Moss Lake).
To that end, the Company is accelerating its exploration program at the Moss Lake Project ,
currently having a historical resource of 1.47M oz Au Indicated and 2.51M oz Au Inferred (see
Table 1). The Company is preparing to ramp up its drilling efforts to 8 to 10 rigs as soon as
practicable,. It is planned that the Moss Lake area will utilize 4 to 5 drill rigs through the spring-
summer period; Coldstream / North Coldstream / Iris Lake area targets will utilize 2 to 3 rigs and
Hamlin Lake area targets will utilize 1 to 2 rigs.

The Company is currently well funded with approximately $19.6M in the treasury, after closing its
recent funding of $10M (see Press Release Goldshore Announces Closing of $10M Private
Placement).
Key Strategic Highlights
• Increasing the quantum and frequency of drilling at the Moss Lake Project; and
early mobilization of rigs into the north -east corridor of Coldstream / North
Coldstream and Iris Lake; as well as early mobilization into Hamlin Lake area;
• Accelerated re-logging and mutli-element assaying of historic North Coldstream
and Moss Lake core;
Goldshore has been logging historic core throughout this campaign to maximize the
value of the historic drill core. As part of this program, the team has commenced
resampling of core that were not sampled in the past. This has been driven by the
recognition of additional zones of mineralization that were previously ignored or
missed. Recently, the team discovered visible gold in quartz-pyrite veinlets in drillhole
NS-92-247 at 546.9 meters depth along the northern edge of the QES Zone (see press
release Goldshore Reports Additional Step-Out Intercepts ). This highlights the potential
for high grades in previously unrecognized zones parallel to the main targets.
• Establishing a robust 3D geologic model of the Moss lake deposit to guide
exploration and updating future resource estimates.;
Goldshore has been rebuilding the mine model for the historic North Coldstream
copper mine that was mined between 1957 and 1967. This has included compiling all
historic data and wireframes for the underground workings to understand the
distribution of mineralization with a view to identifying the potential for additional
mineralization; but also to guide scout drilling of similar geophysical targets identified
by last year’s VTEM/magnetics survey.
Analysis of underground data focused on copper and gold, which returned assays in
the range of 1.0 to 15.0% Cu and 0.5 to 5.0 g/t Au. Of note, limited assaying for cobalt
on one level returned values in the range of 0.1 to 0.5% Co. These high levels of cobalt
have not been recognized in the past but clearly point to the strategic value of this
deposit style.
Scout drilling of preferred mineralization trends at North Coldstream and of similar
nearby targets will aim to confirm the highly mineralized nature of this deposit style.
• Engaging world renown structural geologist, Dr. Brett Davis to work with the
Goldshore geological team, to optimize drill targeting through both structural
geology methods and through the VTEM geophysical interpretation prepared by
TechnoImaging © . Dr. Davis will be on site in May and June 2022.
Dr. Brett Davis graduated from James Cook University, Australia with a Bachelor’s in
Geology in 1986, which was followed in 1992 with a Doctorate degree in Structural
3
Geology. Dr. Davis has worked and consulted globally on a number of large scale
deposits and has establi shed himself as a wo rld leader in structural geology and
currently runs Olinda Gold Structural Geology Consulting. Dr. Davis also serves as
an Adjunct Research Fellow at his alma mater – James Cook University.
• Accelerating the geometallurgical characteri zation study to determine the
geometallurgical domains, and commencing metallurgical test work to optimize
the recovery profiles of these domains at Moss Lake;
The Goldshore geological team is working with ALS on establishing geometallurgical
parameters, in an effort to optimize and guide the metallurgical test work required for
use in the updated preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) intended to be published
in Q1 2023.
Brett Richards, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldshore commented: “With the
recent market support to close the $10M funding; coupled with the excellent drilling and VTEM
results previously shared with the market ; we are pleased to be accelerating the exploration
program at Moss Lake, as well as Coldstream, North Coldstream, Iris Lake and Hamlin Lake. It
has been shown that all of the 29 high priority targets that have had historical drilling and/or form
part of the historic resource; along with 17 gold targets identified in the VTEM interpretation need
to be a ccelerated into this coming field season . The main purpose for this is to quantify and
maximize the understanding of mineralization in all of these targets; prior to conducting a mineral
resource update and updated PEA (intended to be published in Q1 2023).
About Goldshore
Goldshore is an emerging junior gold development company, and owns the Moss Lake Gold
Project located in Ontario. Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. is currently a strategic shareholder of
Goldshore with an approximate 22% equity position in the Company. Well-financed and
supported by an industry -leading management group, boar d of directors and advisory board,
Goldshore is positioned to advance the Moss Lake Gold Project through the next stages of
exploration and development.
About the Moss Lake Gold Project
The Moss Lake Gold Project is located approximately 100 km west of the city of Thunder Bay,
Ontario. It is accessed via Highway 11 which passes within 1 km of the property boundary to the
north. The Moss Lake Gold Project covers 14,292 hectares and consists of 282 unpatented and
patented mining claims.
Moss Lake hosts a number of gold and base metal rich deposits including the Moss Lake Deposit,
the East Coldstream Deposit (Table 1), the historically producing North Coldstream Mine (Table
2), and the Hamlin Zone, all of which occur over a mineralized trend exceeding 20 km in length.
A historical preliminary economic assessment was completed on Moss Lake in 2013 and
published by Moss Lake Gold1. A historical mineral resource estimate was completed on the East
Coldstream Deposit in 2011 by Foundation Resources Inc2,3. In addition to these zones, the Moss
Lake Gold Project also hosts a number of under-explored mineral occurrences which are reported
to exist both at surface and in historically drilled holes. The Moss Lake Deposit is a shear-hosted
4
disseminated-style gold deposit which outcrops at surface. It has been drilled over a 2.5 km length
and to depths of 300 m with 376 holes completed between 1983 and 2017. The last drilling
program conducted in 2016 and 2017 by Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (“ Wesdome”), which
consisted of widely spaced holes along the strike extension of the deposit was successful in
expanding the mineralized footprint and hydrothermal system 1.6 km to the northeast.
Additionally, the deposit remains largely open to depth. In 2017, Wesdome completed an induced
polarization survey which traced the potential extensions of pyrite mineralization associated with
the Moss Lake Deposit over a total strike length of 8 km and spanning the entire extent of the
survey grids.
The East Coldstream D eposit is a shear -hosted disseminated-style gold deposit which locally
outcrops at surface. It has been drilled over a 1.3 km length and to depths of 200 m with 138
holes completed between 1988 and 2017. The deposit remains largely open at depth and may
have the potential for expansion along strike. Historic drill hole highlights from the East
Coldstream Deposit include 4.86 g/t Au over 27.3 m in C-10-15.
The historically producing North Coldstream Mine is reported to have produced significant
amounts of co pper, gold and silve r4 from mineralization with potential iron -oxide-copper-gold
deposit style affinity. The exploration potential immediately surrounding the historic mining area
is not currently well understood and historic data compilation is required.
The Hamlin Zone is a significant occurrence of copper and gold mineralization, and also of
potential iron-oxide-copper-gold deposit style affinity. Between 2008 and 2011, Glencore tested
Hamlin with 24 drill holes which successfully outlined a broad and intermittently mineralized zone
over a strike length of 900 m. Historic drill hole highlights from the Hamlin Zone include 0.9 g/t Au
and 0.35% Cu over 150.7 m in HAM-11-75.
The Moss Lake, East Coldstream and North Coldstream deposits sit on a mineral trend marked
by a regionally significant deformation zone locally referred to as the Wawiag Fault Zone in the
area of the Moss Lake Deposit. This deformation zone occurs over a length of approximately 20
km on the Moss Lake Gold Project and there is an area spa nning approximately 7 km between
the Moss Lake and East Coldstream deposits that is significantly underexplored.

(3) The reader is cautioned that the above referenced “historical mineral resource” estimates are considered historical in
nature and as such is based on prior data and reports prepared by previous property owners. A qualified person has
not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources and Goldshore is not treating the
historical estimates as current resources. Significant data compilati on, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification
may be required by a qualified person before the historical estimate on the Moss Lake Gold Project can be classified
as a current resource. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will
ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability. Even if classified as a current resource, there is no certainty as to whether furth er
exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource
category.
