Reaches 1 Million Oz Gold Equivalent in a New Mineral Resource Estimate
June 13, 2022, Vancouver, BC - Gold Springs Resource Corp. (TSX: GRC, OTCQB: GRCAF) (the
“Company” or “GRC” ) releases a significant updated mineral resource estimate for its Gold Springs
Project, taking into consideration all the 2021 drilling results at North and South Jumbo, Tremor,
Charlie Ross, and White Point.
Highlights include:
Measured Resource 548,071 oz gold equivalent
Indicated Resource 456,932 oz gold equivalent
Total M&I Resource 1,005,003 oz gold equivalent
Inferred Resource 144,379 oz gold equivalent
Gold equivalent based on US$1,800/oz gold and US$25/oz silver.
Antonio Canton, President and CEO, stated:
“Today with a resource estimate of 1 million oz gold equivalent , we have reached the 1 st
important milestone of our Company’s objective to rapidly expand our gold resource.
Our team is now focused on the 2022 drilling program to reach the 2nd milestone, as we have
planned a new resource update and PEA for the end of the year. Our goal is to reach within
the next 2 years the 3rd milestone and complete the mine permitting process”.
Randall Moore, Executive Vice President of Exploration, stated:
“This resource update confirms that Gold Springs has significant potential to expand its
resources, as in 2021 we added two new ones (Charlie Ross and White Point) and
substantially increased the total number of ounces.
Only by visiting the area, one can realize the magnitude of our project, which covers
approximately 8,000 ha and includes not 1 or 2 targets, but 33 high-potential gold targets,
6 of which already host a resource estimate of 1,005,003 M&I oz and 144,379 inferred oz
of gold equivalent open to expansion and covering only 15% of the property . As the
resources are near the surface, they could be mined by shallow open pit and a technically
simple heap-leach operation.
The size of the Gold Springs Project, the important number of gold targets, the technical data
available so far, the water rights, and its location in one of the best mining jurisdictions in
the world, are strong indicators that GRC has a large gold project with a significant growth

potential. I b elieve Gold Springs will get more and more attention from major mining
companies as the resource continues to grow.”

The inferred resource is in addition to the measured and indicated resource. Numbers have
been rounded, which may lead to some numbers not adding up exactly. Gold Equivalent
calculation uses a gold/silver price ratio o f 72 ($1,800/$25). Mineral resources that are not
mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The resource estimate reflects
gross metal content that is not adjusted for metallurgical recoveries.
The new mineral resource estimate is an update from the 2020 mineral resource estimate
to mainly incorporate the drilling information of the 2021 drill program conducted at the
South and North Jumbo, Tremor, Charlie Ross and White Point deposits.
