Vancouver, British Columbia – July 23, 2020 : GSP Resource Corp. ( TSX-V: GSPR ) (the
“Company” or “ GSP”) is pleased to report that the 3- dimensional digital model of the shallow
unmined portion of the #4 north zone of the Alwin Mine has been completed. The data sources for
the model included sectional and plan information from past operators of the mine from 1967 to
2008. GSP intends to utilize this data in final planning and implementation, once permitting has been
completed, of t he upcoming shallow drilling program to both confirm historic intersections and
improve definition of the zones as a prelude to developing a potentially open pit mineable resource.
3D Model Highlights - #4 Zone:
The 3D digital model focused on the Alwin Mine #4 north zone that consists of 2 major sub-zones:
1) #4 North east zone - The largely unmined upper portion of the #4 North east zone which
has been modeled as a 140 met er long by 75 meter high west trending subvertical body.
The average thickness of the #4 south zone with a 1.0 % copper cutoff is 3.2 meters.
2) #4 North west zone - The largely unmined portion of the WNW striking upper #4 North
west zone occurs north of and west of the 4 South zone, is 100 met ers long, 50 met ers
high and is also subvertical. It has an estimated average width of 3.2 meters at a 1.0 %
copper cutoff.

Both zones are associated with smaller subparallel zones and occasional lower grade but wider zones
such as near true width 7.6 meters intersection grading 1.1 % copper in a 1993 trench over the top of
the 4N zone and 4S zone intersections grading 2.2% copper over a horizontal (near true) width of 5.5
meters in historic hole 67-28 near the east end, and 3.49% copper over a near true horizontal width
of 4.3 meters in historic hole U -348 near its west end. Both intersections are only 30 meters from
surface. Both upper portions overlie stopes but their lower portions extend for at least another 150
meters with various amounts of mining completed.
Deeper Targets:
In addition to the upcoming shallow drilling program, the C ompany is also permitting for a deep
drilling program and deep sensing IP to test beneath 2008 holes 5 and 6 which intersected 0.28%
copper over a core width of 21.1 meters and 0.44% copper over a core width of 13.4 meters,
respectively. Both holes also intersected smaller high- grade intersections within and outboard of
these.1
GSP also expects to follow up on San Marco Resource s Inc.’s 2008 drill hole 4a which intersected
19.6 meters grading 1.51% copper including a partial 3.6 meter intersection (2.2 meter true width)
grading 6.34% copper, 121 g/t silver and 2.8 g/t gold in the #4 South zone. The 2008 drill hole 4a
was terminated at the end of this intersection in then unmapped mine workings now interpreted to be
the decline to the deep, partially mined portions of the #4 South zone.
GSP Resource Corp. President & CEO Simon Dyakowski commented: “The completion of the initial
Alwin Mine 3D model allows GSP to efficiently target shallow mineralization in the Alwin Mine #4
North east and #4 North west zones with a goal to establishing a foundation for fu rther study of a
potentially open pit mineable resource through infill and confirmation drilling. The model data will
also be instrumental in targeting deeper mineralization encountered in drilling by previous operators
where contact with unmapped old mine workings prevented drill testing the full extent of potential
mineralization.”
The Alwin Mine Copper-Silver-Gold property is approximately 575.72 hectares and is located on the
semi-arid, interior plateau in south- central British Columbia. The underground mine, which was
developed over a 500 meters long by 300 meters deep by 150 meters wide area produced from 1916
to 1981 from six major subvertical zones 233,100 tonnes that milled 3,786 tonnes of copper, 2,729
kilograms of silver and 46.2 kilograms of gold. Gol d and silver content associated with bornite
increase with depth within the individual mineralized zones.
The property also hosts several incompletely explored deep porphyry copper exploration targets to
the north and west of the mine. It is adjacent to the western boundary of Teck Corporation’s Highland
Valley Mine, the largest open-pit porphyry copper- molybdenum mine in western Canada. Alteration
and mineralization of the Highland Valley hydrothermal system extends westward onto the Alwin
property (see GSP’s news release dated January 30, 2020).
