GOLDEN SHIELD DRILLS 4.84 GPT GOLD OVER SIX METRES AND 2.58 GPT OVER
SEVEN METRES IN FIRST HOLES AT TOUCAN CREEK
Vancouver, British Columbia, April 12, 2022 – Golden Shield Resources Inc. (CSE: GSRI)
(the “Company” or “Golden Shield”) is pleased to announce results of six initial diamond drill
holes totalling 848 metres that were drilled at the Toucan Creek area, one of eight prospects at
the Company’s flagship, 5,457-hectare, Marudi Mountain gold project located in the Rupununi
District of southwestern Guyana (the “Marudi Project”).
Figure 1 - Marudi Project Map, prospects so far identified.
This first round of drilling at Toucan Creek intersected multiple intervals in four of the six holes
drilled, see Table 1. All reported intervals are hosted within quartzite-metachert (“QMC”), which
is also the host rock to gold mineralization at Mazoa Hill. Golden Shield geologists were drawn
to the area by outcrops of QMC that are visibly mineralised with oxidised pyrite returning
anomalous gold values in surface sampling.

Golden Shield will integrate these results with surface data to identify targets for follow up
drilling. Dr Colin Porter, Vice President, Exploration of Golden Shield, commented, “We are
very pleased to have received initial drill results back from our new Toucan Creek prospect and
are encouraged by the potential of this target. The Toucan Creek prospect is located
approximately 1.5km from Mazoa Hill, which is now where the drill is currently operating. To
date, we have defined eight priority prospects at the Marudi Mountain gold project and are
actively generating additional prospects”.
Results from trenching at the Kimberley, Success Creek and Throne prospects are pending, as
well as additional recce samples. The current drill program will focus on expanding the newly
recognised extensions at Mazoa Hill.

Table 1 – Diamond Drill Hole results
*Lengths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. The
highest assay used for weighted average grade is 15.51g/t gold and top-cutting is not deemed to be necessary. Average widths
are calculated using a 0.50 g/t gold cut-off grade with < 4 m of internal dilution below cut-off grade. Sample lengths are 1m unless
reduced below this to respect geological contacts.

“forecast”, “may”, “would”, “could”, “schedule” and similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements
or information. These forward-looking statements or information relate to, among other things: the exploration and
development of the Company’s mineral projects; and release of drilling results.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to 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 o n 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 relevan t and
reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding,
among other things, the price of gold and other metals; no escalation in the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic;
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: the Company’s dependence on one
mineral project; precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company’s mineral
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; the ability of the
communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications of COVID-19; the economic
and financial implications of COVID-19 to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining
or development activities; 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 director s and officers; lack of liquidity for
shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified in the Company’s public disclosure documents
