GSP Resource Corp. Intersects Additional Bulk Tonnage Copper Grades at Alwin Mine Project and Plans Fall 2021 Drill Program
GSP Resource Corp. Intersects Additional Bulk Tonnage Copper Grades at
Alwin Mine Project and Plans Fall 2021 Drill Program
News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia – October 14, 2021: GSP Resource Corp. (TSX-V:
GSPR) (FRA: 0YD) (the “Company” or “GSP”) announces final diamond drill results from the
Summer 2021 drilling program at the Alwin Mine project (the “Alwin Property ”) located in the
Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia.
Five holes totalling 1 ,439 meters were completed to test the bulk tonnage Copper potential of
unmined mineralization within and surrounding the historic Alwin mine. Complete analytical results
for holes AM21 -2, AM21- 4 and AM21 -5 have now been received and analyzed, along with t he
previously reported results for AM21-1 and AM21-3.
Alwin Summer 2021 Drilling Program Bulk Tonnage Grade Highlights:
Hole AM21-05 - 0.61% CuEq over 164.6 m;
Hole AM21-02 – 0.14% CuEq over 176.7 m;
Hole AM21-01 – 0.21% CuEq over 229.7 m, including:
o 0.28% CuEq over 158.5 m
o 0.48% CuEq over 79.3 m
GSP is currently in the final stages of planning a fully funded follow up drilling program expected to
be mobilized in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Fall 2021 drilling program is expected to further test
the bulk tonnage grade potential North of Alwin deposit with 3 diamond drill holes collared from the
North of the historic deposit.

GSP President & CEO Simon Dyakowski, commented:
“The Final results of GSP’s Summer drilling program further support a shallow bulk
tonnage deposit model at Alwin. The Summer program also yielded a new exploration
target with the discovery of a new zone of mineralization under the western part of the
main Alwin zone at the bottom of hole AM21- 02 and AM21-04. GSP is now in the
final stages of preparing for a follow up drilling program to further expand the Alwin
bulk tonnage grade model, with additional drill holes N orth of the Main Alwin zone.
The results of the upcoming drill program, in conjunction with GSP’s prior
exploration results will form the basis for an expanded bulk tonnage grade exploration
model for what was previously considered a historic underground deposit.”
Summer 2021 Drill Program Hole Summaries:
Hole AM 21-05 was collared to intersect the 3 zone under a historic intersection grading 4.7% Cu
over a horizontal 3.5 m. The hole intersected , over 10.6 m , several narrow zones grading 0.38%
CuEq. The hole at 136 m intersected the 4S zone and continued in the steeply north dipping portion
of the zone for an additional 35.5 m , returning an average grade of 2.71% CuEq over this interval .
Within this interval, the hole intersected four previously mined out sections totalling 8.8 m. This
intersection returned an assumed grade of 3.51% CuEq. The hole (including the mined-out intervals)
averaged a non true width adjusted 0.61% CuEq over 164.6 metres length.

Hole AM21-02 was collared 200 m west southwest of hole AM21- 01 and drilled to intersect a n
eastern 6 zone intersection. This intersection returned 3.48% Cu Eq from a drilled length of 2.6 m.
Similar to Hole AM -21-1A, a coppe r mineralized quartz vein and stockwork zone was again
intersected south of the Alwin Mine. Part of this zone returned 0.235% CuEq over a 43.15 m drilled
length. This hole, from 37.75 to 221.5 metres graded 0.138% CuEq.
Near the planned final depth of the hole the rock was increasing in alteration and the hole was
extended to a total depth of 367 m (1204 ft). From 338.8 to 351.5 m a n intensely mesothermal to
epithermal clay style altered shear hosting dilational quartz v ein fragments hosting coarse grained
pyrite and chalcopyrite was intersected. The sheared intrusive also hosted deformed chalcopyrite
bearing quartz stockwork. This intersection (12.1 m) returned 0.13% CuEq including elevated
molybdenum and rhenium values.

Hole AM-21-04 was collared to intersect the west part of the 6 zone about 200 m w est of the hole
AM-21-02 intersection. The hole intersected the zone grading 1.16% CuEq over a drilled length of
3 metres and was an estimated 10 m west of the targeted historic intersection grading 5.8% copper
over 3.1 horizontal metres. Similar to hole AM -21-02, this hole was also extended and again
intersected from 241.9 to 254 m similar sheared, clay altered chalcopyrite stockwork mineralized
intrusive. This intersection (12.1 m) returned 0.11% CuEq including elevated molybdenum and
rhenium values.

Hole AM21-01A (previously reported) was targeted to intersect an unmined portion of the historic
4 South zone. The hole was collared from the south of the Alwin deposit near its known eastern
extent and successfully intersected portions of several known and previously unrecognized copper
mineral zones.
Highlight intersections include the targeted 4South zone grading 4.42% copper, 3.5 gpt gold, 92.8
gpt silver, and 0.14 ppm rhenium ( 6.15% CuEq) over a drilled length of 4.4m. Up hole from the
4South zone, drill hole AM21-01 intersected a post -Alwin Highland Valley style quartz vein
stockwork copper zone grading 0.133% copper and 0.204% copper equivalent over a 32.3m drilled
length from 102.7m to 134.0m. Similar mineralization was intersected in hole 20-10D some 300 m
to the southwest (please see news release date March 2, 2021).
Extensions of the 4N orth zone were intersected at depth that graded 0.13% copper equivalent over
12.9 meters. The hole returned a 158.5m drilled length grading 0.284% CuEq from both Alwin and
Highland Valley style mineralization.

Hole AM21-03 (previously reported) was collared 200m west southwest of hole AM21-01and drilled
northeastward to a deep unmined target of the historic # 3 zone. The intersection is approximately
100 metres southwest from the hole 1 target but 50 metres deeper. The hole steepened more than
expected and the primary target was undercut.

GSP's Summer 2021 drilling program focused on a 300-metre-by-100-metre-by-250-metre-plus
deep portion of the Alwin replacement-style copper deposit. The style of mineralization is observed
as subvertical individual, or multiple and closely spaced, subparallel in situ muscovite-quartz-
sericite wall rock replacement zones. On a mine scale, the zones form a rough conjugate partially
interlocking system with subvertical west-northwest and west-southwest zones. Individual zones
average 100 to 150 metres long by up to 250 metres vertical and zones can reach 10 metres thick
grading over 4 per cent copper.

In addition to the main “replacement style” Alwin Mine target, the Alwin property hosts several
incompletely explored porphyry copper-molybdenum targets to the north and west of the mine. The
Alwin deposit’s known east end is less than 2.5 km west of and 270 metres higher than t he Valley
pits west edge of Teck Corporation’s Highland Valley Mine, the largest open- pit porphyry copper-
molybdenum mine in Canada. The Highland Valley Mine had a reported 0.278% copper head grade
according to a 2019 presentation (https://www.teck.com/media/Teck-Highland-Valley-Copper-Site-
Visit-2019-HVC-Presentation.pdf) and Teck Resource’s 2020 Annual Information Form (“AIF”)
filed on SEDAR report s mineral reserves at the Highland Valley mine using a 0.09% CuEq cutoff
grade.
About the Alwin Mine Project: The 575.72 hectares Alwin Mine Copper -Silver-Gold property is
located on the semi-arid, interior plateau in south-central British Columbia. The historic underground
mine, which was developed over 500 meters long by 300 meters deep by 200 meters wide volum e
produced from 1916 to 1981 from five major subvertical zones 233,100 tonnes that milled 3,786
tonnes of copper, 2,729 kilograms of silver and 46.2 kilograms of gold. The average diluted head
grade was 1.5 % copper. Gold and silver content associated with bornite increase with depth within
the individual mineralized zones.
