GOLDEN SHIELD RESOURCES DRILLS 33 METRES GRADING 3.45 G/T GOLD AT
MAZOA HILL, MARUDI
• Numerous high-grade intercepts open to depth and along strike
• New interpretation of mineralization trend - open to depth and along strike
• Numerous additional undrilled prospects with mineralization at surface
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 11, 2022 – Golden Shield Resources Inc. (CSE: GSRI)
(the “Company” or “Golden Shield”) is pleased to announce the drill results from the initial hole
of a 13-hole, 3,000 metre program at Mazoa Hill, the most advanced 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”),

Golden Shield is currently drilling the ninth hole of the Company’s 3,000 metre, 13-hole Phase 2
drill program at Mazoa Hill. Results of the first hole, MH-22-16, are detailed in Table 1, while
results for the other eight holes that have been completed are pending. Drilling of the remaining
four holes of the program is progressing and will be finished before the end of this month.

*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 15.14 g/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.
Golden Shield interprets gold mineralization to occur in a series of en-echelon high grade shoots
defined by intense silicification within a broader silicified zone, previously described as quartzite-
metachert (QMC). In these areas silica flooding is associated pyrite pyrrhotite and native gold.

MAZOA HILL RESULTS
Hole MH-22-16 confirms Golden Shield’s reinterpretation of the geology of Mazoa Hill with a
lower mineralised limb folding gently to the west. The reinterpretation of the geology shows that

Dr. Colin Porter, Vice President, Exploration of Golden Shield commented: “because historical
drill holes did not intersect the lower limb extension, previous models assumed the QMC host-
rock terminated at depth. However, Golden Shield’s reinterpretation of the Mazoa Hill
mineralization has shown that the deposit is open at depth along the lower limb extension. This
will allow the Golden Shield team to continue to define a new, updated resource at Mazoa Hill,
as we continue to step out laterally, and at depth.”
FUTURE PLANS
Following the completion of the Phase 2 drill program Company geologists and field crews will
focus on advancement of the existing prospects shown in Figure 1 to drill stage, if merited, and
exploration for additional prospects. Once results from Phase 2 drilling ar e received and
additional drilling will be planned.
MARKETING PROGRAM
The Company is also pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with OGIB Corporate
Bulletin (“OGIB”) for a six-month term (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, OGIB will
provide certain marketing, online corporate communications, publishing, writing and investor
relations services.

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 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 rea sonable 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 ti tle 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 directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the
Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified in the Company’s public disclosure documents available on
www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or forward-
looking information. Although the Company 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. The
Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward -looking statements or
