GSP Summarizes 2024 Drilling and Discovery of New High-Grade
Gold Zone at Alwin Mine Property
News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia – February 19, 2025: GSP Resource Corp. (TSX-
V: GSPR / FSE: 0YD / OTC: GSRCF) (the “Company” or “GSP”) announces a summary of the
recently announced and completed late -2024 Alwin Mine Project drill program which successfully
expanded the shallow high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization and discovered a new high
grade gold zone. The drilling program was highlighted by a Gold discovery, in a step out hole west
of the open pit resource area, with AM-24-06 Assaying 5.04 g/t Gold and 1.01% Copper Over 7.90m;
including 22.93 g/t Gold and 1.82% Copper Over 1.64m1.
The program consisted of 7 holes totaling 812 metres designed to target potential extensions of
known high -grade copper and gold zones at the Alwin Property located in the Highland Valley
Copper Camp of British Columbia. The Alwin Project hosts current in ferred mineral resources
comprising 1.46 million tonnes (Mt) tonnes, at an average grade of 1.08% copper (Cu), yielding 34.6
million pounds of Cu3.
Drill hole AM-24-01 intersected multiple zones of high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization
over a combined 36.2 metre (m) core interval. Significant assay results include a main zone
averaging 2.41% Cu, 35 grams -per-tonne (g/t) silver (Ag), and 0.68 g/t gold (Au) over 17.4 m ,
including 4.11% Copper, 60 g/t Ag and 0.95 g/t Au over 8.4 m; in addition to an upper zone grading
1.01% Cu and 10.7 g/t Ag over 5.5 m2 (Figure 1 and Table 1).
The assay results for drill hole AM-24-01 confirm the presence of significant widths of high -grade
copper mineralization below historically mined open stopes at greater than 10x the open pit copper
lower cut-off of the Company’s current mineral resource, and in addition, affirm the consistent nature
of accompanying gold and silver which add significant value in terms of copper-equivalency.
AM-24-06 was collared south of the Alwin Mine upper decline entrance and was designed to test for
the extension of mineralization to the northwest and below the current mineral resource pit shell in
an are a with limited historic drilling. AM-24-06 intersected a zone of high -grade gold
mineralization, which included a single 0.84 m sample that assayed 35.1 g/t Au (1.02 oz/ton)
(sample L645413 from 157.36 -158.20 m) , below the vertical projection of “3 Zone” mineral
resources, approximately 40 m below the pit shell, and 120 m vertically from surface. The results
point to the presence of a unique high-grade gold subset of mineralization at Alwin that is currently
not well understood (Figure 2 and Table 1).
Drill hole AM-24-05 targeting the eastern untested near surface projection of the high-grade “4
Zone”, that was historically exploited on multiple underground sublevels, intersected a high -grade
copper zone yielding 3.93% Cu, 6 g/t Ag, and 0.10 g/t Au over 4.78 m (Figure 3 and Table 1).

The AM-24-05 results confirm the near surface eastern strike extent strength of the 4 Zone and
demonstrate future within-pit resource expansion opportunities.

About the Alwin Mine Project
The Alwin Mine Copper-Silver-Gold property is approximately 344 hectares and is located on the
semi-arid, interior plateau in south -central British Columbia. The historic underground mine was
developed over 500 m long by 200 m wide by 300 m deep. Production took place between 1916 to
1981 from five major subvertical high -grade copper mineralization zones totaling 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.
The Alwin Project hosts a current inferred mineral resource comprising 1.46 million tonnes (Mt)
tonnes, at an average grade of 1.08% Cu, yielding 34.6 million pounds of Cu3.
The Alwin Project is adjacent with the western boundary of Teck Resources’ 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 from the Highland
Valley mine onto the Alwin Project (see GSP’s news release dated January 30, 2020).
