GGL announces results from the Fall 2023 Exploration Program and expansion of its Gold Point
Project, Nevada
Vancouver, BC – January 16, 2024 – GGL Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GGL) (“GGL” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce results from the fall 2023 exploration program at the Le Champ copper -molybdenum
porphyry target (“Le Champ”) on its 100%-owned and road-accessible Gold Point Project in the Walker
Lane Trend of Western Nevada. The Company is also pleased to announce that it has staked additional
claims to better cover the porphyry target and to acquire additional gold-silver veins elsewhere on this
district-scale property (Figure 1).
Highlights from this Press Release include:
• Mapping identified six intrusive phases hosting extensive stockwork s, sheeted veins and breccia
zones, locally containing limonite after sulphides;
• Soil geochemical anomalies coincide with the stockwork zones and potentially represent a leached
porphyry system;
• The Gold Point property has been expanded to cover 30.1 sq km (7443 acres); and,
• Induced Polarization (IP) surveys planned for spring, 2024.
Quote from Doug Eaton, GGL’s CEO:
Early-stage assessment of the porphyry target on GGL’s Gold Point Project has yielded very encouraging
results that demonstrate potential for a porphyry copper -gold-molybdenum system with a buried
supergene-enriched core. The age of the intrusive complex is similar to those in major mining districts
including Yerington, Nevada, and at new porphyry discoveries , including Hercules Silver’s Hercules
Project in Idaho.
Le Champ
Detailed mapping and sampling at Le Champ were completed in late October 2023 . During the fall
program, 377 soil samples and 27 rock samples were collected. A geology map is presented as Figure 2
with copper and molybdenum results shown on Figures 3 and 4 respectively.
Geological mapping identified six separate intrusive phases within the Sylvania Plutonic Complex hosting
extensive stockwork and sheeted vein zones. The strongest molybdenum-in-soil anomalies are associated
with the stockwork zones. Copper -in-soil geochemistry is moderately anomalous throughout Le Champ
with the strongest values near shallowly south-dipping fault structures and stockwork zones.
Large m agmatic breccias containing limonite altered cubes and clots , often up to 2 cm across, were
identified on the north side of the target area near historical workings containing copper mineralization. A
float sample comprising limonite clots collected from the breccia returned 6.29% copper and 203 g/t silver.

The exact timing of the breccia tion is not yet known, but is thought to be a late event as it includes clasts
of mafic dykes which are seen elsewhere on surface cutting the other intrusive phases.
Only a few small historical workings are located within the vicinity of Le Champ, and most are pits along
gently south -dipping fault structures containing m alachite and azu rite. This copper mineralization is
believed to be sourced from deeper in the system and to have migrated to surface along the fault conduits.
There is no evidence Le Champ has previously been drilled.
The Company believes that the results from this work program are highly encouraging, particularly when
added to previously announced results from earlier geochemical and geophysical surveys (see New
Releases dated July 12, 2023 and October 5, 2023). It is believed that the abundant stockwork veining and
silica alteration seen at surface mark the upper levels of a buried porphyry system. The strongly elevated
molybdenum values and more subdued , but still noteworthy, copper results are consistent with a leached
system, and suggest that stronger mineralization could be found at depth. Future work will be directed to
better understand the extent of the porphyry system, both on surface and at depth. An Induced Polarization
survey is planned for spring 2024.
Property Expansion
In November 2023, the Company staked an additional 52 claims around Le Champ to ensure extensions of
the stockwork veining and magmatic breccia zones were fully covered.
Additionally, 11 claims were staked within an extensive gold-silver vein system located about 3.5 km
northeast of Le Champ. These claims are contiguous with the Company’s existing claim block and are
located 700 m along strike to the west of the main underground workings on the Orleans Vein. There are
numerous historical surface and underground workings on the new claims . These workings have not yet
been mapped or sampled by the Company, but mineralization closely resembles that found in high -grade
veins system elsewhere on the Gold Point property . Systematic surveying and sampling of the newly
acquired veins will be undertaken in spring 2024, in conjunction with the IP survey at Le Champ.
The Gold Point pr operty now comprises 37 7 lode claims and 7 patented claims covering a total area of
approximately 7,443 acres (30.1 km2).
Setting of Le Champ
Le Champ is located about 3.5 km west of the gold -rich veins that have been the focus of historical
exploration at Gold Point. The porphyry lies within the Late to Middle-Jurassic Sylvania Granitic Complex,
a multi-phase intrusive suite that covers an area greater than 400 km 2 along the Nevada-California border
stretching between Fish Lake Valley to the north and Death Valley to the south. It typically ranges in
composition from granite to quartz monzonite, but locally contains more mafic phases. This pluton is
similar in age to intrusions that host large porphyry systems in the Yerington district of Walker Lane, 249
km to the northwest.
The Walker Lane hosts four significant known porphyry deposits (Yerington, Ann Mason, Bear, and
MacArthur), all of which are located near Yerington.

The Yerington Mine was operated by the Anaconda Company from 1952 until 1979 and produced
approximately 1.744 billion pounds of copper at an average grade 0.54% copper. This deposit, along with
the Bear and MacArthur deposit are currently held by Lion Copper and Gold.
The Ann Mason deposit is owned by Hudbay Minerals Inc. and contains 2.2 billion tonnes of measured and
indicated resources grading 0.29% copper and 67 ppm molybdenum.
About Gold Point
The Gold Point Project is accessed by Highway 774. It is situated within the Walker Lane, a major mineral
belt that has seen significant historical production from gold, silver , and copper mines. Many companies
are actively exploring in the belt including several majors.
The Gold Point Project covers several past-producing underground mines that explored along parts of four
prominent vein structures. These main structures are paralleled by several other lightly explored structures.
The mines operated intermittently from the 1880s to the early 1960s, produci ng gold and silver from
mesothermal veins. The mineralization is strongly oxidized to the bottom of the workings, which reached
a maximum depth of 1,020 ft (311 m) downdip.
