Goldshore Resources Intersects 117.12m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 1.1m in MMD-21-004
Goldshore Resources Intersects 117.12m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 1.1m in MMD-21-004
VANCOUVER, B.C., December 08, 2021: Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR / OTCQB:
GSHRF / FWB: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “ Company”), is pleased to announce gold assay
results from the holes MMD-21-004 and MMD-21-005 drilled to validate gold mineralization at the
Moss Lake gold deposit in Northwest Ontario, Canada.
Highlights:
• Several higher-grade zones within large low-grade envelopes with best intercepts of:
o 117.12m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 1.1m in MMD-21-004, including
42.53m at 1.37 g/t Au from 1.1m,
17.00m at 2.40 g/t Au from 57.0m, and
26.22m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 92.0m.
o 23.45 m @ 1.54 g/t Au from 302.85m in MMD-21-004
o 8.50m at 2.53 g/t Au from 42.5m, and
o 16.50m at 1.26 g/t Au from 139.5m in MMD-21-005
• Significant Volume Additions: Mineralization continues to be intersected laterally and
at depth, significantly expanding the width and depth of mineralization compared to the
2013 grade model. MMD-21-004 has extended the width and depth of mineralization,
relative to the 2013 model, by 38% and 56%, respectively.
• Expanding Drill Capacity: The Company’s drilling contractor, Missinaibi Drilling
Services, has mobilized two additional drilling rigs to site, bringing the total active rigs to
four. An additional rig is expected on site before Christmas.
Brett Richards, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldshore commented: “The drilling
intercept of 117.12m @ 1.26 g/t Au, essentially from surface, reaffirms our view that the Moss
Lake gold project contains a significant volume of +1 g/t Au mineralization that can underpin a
meaningful, economic gold deposit. The fact that we are continuing to intersect gold mineralization
outside of the volume modelled in 2013 also affirms our belief that the deposit is wider and larger
than previously interpreted.”

MMD-21-004 and MMD-21-005 drilled through a massive diorite intrusion emplaced within a NE-
striking and steeply SE-dipping sequence of intermediate to mafic lavas and felsic to intermediate
volcaniclastic rocks. The wall rock sequence is strongly foliated and metamorphosed to
greenschist facies. Later porphyritic and fine grained intermediate and mafic dikes cut the
preceding rocks. These are variably foliated to massive, suggesting that the later intrusions post-
date metamorphism.
All, but the later intrusive phases, are variably altered with quartz -sericite, albite -sericite and
chlorite-epidote assemblages. Quartz-calcite±chlorite±tourmaline veinlets occur as a weak
stockwork in the more brittle -deformed rocks. Disseminated and veinlet pyrite is common
throughout and there is occasional chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization.
It is too soon to develop conceptual models for the deposit, though the Company is working with
leading researchers in the field of orogenic gold deposits to develop its understanding of the
deposit.
MMD-21-004 drilled at -60° beneath MMD-21-003, which was reported on October 21, 2021. As
the hole collared in +1 g/t Au mineralization, there is an expectation of continued mineralization
behind the drill hole to the north. The hole intersected 117.12m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 1.1m as part
of a longer intercept of +0.3 g/t Au mineralization that extends the mineralized volume from 380
to 804 meters down hole. This represents an approximate true width lateral extension of 150
meters and ver tical depth extension of 250 meters to the 2013 model, or 38% and 56%,
respectively.
MMD-21-005 was drilled to twin ML-08-14, but difficulties in overburden led to an exercise in
drilling a shallow angled hole that ended up at -27°. This meant that the hole tested a lower grade
part of the 2013 model, which was confirmed by the drill intercept of 154.50m @ 0.57 g/t Au.
Peter Flindell, VP Exploration commented: “These drilling results confirm the caliber of results
received since the start of the drilling program and confirm the significant widths of higher grade,
+1 g/t Au mineralization. Our plan to expand the drilling fleet over winter will allow us to reach our
targeted monthly meterage of 10,000m and allow us to test extensions to Moss Lake suggested
by our airborne geophysical survey, as well as infill the gold deposit to support next year’s
Preliminary Economic Analysis.”

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures
All samples were sent to ALS Geochemistry i n Thunder Bay for preparation and analysis was
performed in the ALS Vancouver analytical facility. ALS is accredited by the Standards Council of
Canada (SCC) for the Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories and CAN -P-4E
ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were analyzed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish (“Au-AA23”) and
48 pathfinder elements via ICP-MS after four-acid digestion (“ME-MS61”). Samples that assayed
over 10 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish (“Au-GRA21”).
In addition to ALS quality assurance / quality control (“QA/QC”) protocols, Goldshore has
implemented a quality control program for all samples collected through the drilling program. The
quality control program was designed by a qualified and independent third party, with a focus on
the quality of analytical results for gold. Analytical results are rec eived, imported to our secure
on-line database and evaluated to meet our established guidelines to ensure that all sample
batches pass industry best practice for analytical quality control. Certified reference materials are
considered acceptable if values returned are within three standard deviations of the certified value
reported by the manufacture of the material. In addition to the certified reference material, certified
blank material is included in the sample stream to monitor contamination during sa mple
preparation. Blank material results are assessed based on the returned gold result being less
than ten times the quoted lower detection limit of the analytical method. The results of the on-
going analytical quality control program are evaluated and r eported to Goldshore by Orix
Geoscience Inc.
Grant of Stock Options
On November 23, 2021, certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company

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 30% 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 3), the historically producing North Coldstream Mine (Table
4), 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
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 Deposit 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 copper, gold and silver 4 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 s it 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 spanning 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 t he
historical estimates as current resources. Significant data compilation, 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 further
exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource
category.
