(GSRI:CSE)
VANCOUVER, July 5, 2022 /CNW/ - Golden Shield Resources Corp. (CSE: GSRI) (Frankfurt: 4LE0)
(“Golden Shield” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the brokered private
placement originally announced on June 9, 2022 (the “Offering”).
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued a total of 14,624,302 units (the “Units”) of the Company at
a price of C$0.43 per Unit for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,288,450 which includes
the partial exercise of the Agent’s over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one common share in the
capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one common at a price of C$0.60 for a period of 24 months following the closing
date.
“The completion of this financing will allow Golden Shield to continue extending mineralization at the Mazoa
Hill prospect as well as drill test additional exciting prospects at the Marudi Mountain project,” stated Leo
Hathaway, Executive Chair of the Company.
Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”) acted as agent for the Company on a ‘best efforts’ agency basis in
connection with the Offering. In consideration for the services provided by the Agent in connection with the
Offering, on closing the Company paid to the Agent a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds
of the Offering (other than in respect of sales to purchasers on the Pre sident’s List, for which the
Commission was reduced to 2.0%) and issued broker warrants of the Company to the Agent, exercisable
at any time on or before July 5, 2024, to acquire that number of common shares in the capital of the
Company which is equal to 6% of the number of Units sold under the Offering (other than in respect of sales
to purchasers on the President’s List, for which the number of broker warrants was reduced to 2.0%) at an
exercise price of C$0.43.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have a hold period of four months and one day from closing,
expiring on November 6, 2022.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance exploration on the Company’s properties in
Guyana, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the
United States, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation
or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under

laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the Offering; the use of the
proceeds from the Offering; any future mineral production, liquidity, enhanced value and capital markets
profile of Golden Shield, future growth potential for Golden Shield and its business, and future exploration
plans are based on management’s reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and
opinions, which are based on management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and
expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the
circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other
things, the price of silver, gold and other metals; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs
of development of exploration projects; Golden Shield’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner
and its ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms.
These statements reflect Golden Shield’s respective current views with respect to future events and are
necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable
by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social
uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that
are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information and
Golden Shield has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such
factors include, without limitation: precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the
Company’s exploration activities in Guyana; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to
reliance on the Company’s management team and outside contractors; risks regarding mineral resources
and reserves; the Company’s inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable
basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all
mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital
and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped
properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; employee relations, labour
unrest or unavailability; the Company’s interactions with surrounding communities and artisanal miners; the
Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and
development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility;
conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company;
litigation risk; and the factors identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in Golden Shield’s management
discussion and analysis. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forwar d-looking
statements or forward-looking information. Although Golden Shield has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not
to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Golden Shield does not intend, and does not assume any
obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in
assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information,
other than as required by applicable law.
