Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2024) - Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) ("Goldshore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from the 2024 field programs that concentrated on extending mineralization along the Moss trend, and evaluating the exploration potential along the Kawa trend through rock chip and channel sampling and through assaying unsampled historical drill core (Figures 1 & 2). The Company plans to conduct systematic top of bedrock sampling and ground based induced polarization geophysical surveys over these prospective shear zones in the future to develop robust drill targets.
Sampling has focused on largely undercover areas, yielding favorable results including the following:
Discovery of additional high grade mineralized areas north of the Moss Deposit at the Superion and West Span prospects including grab assays of 15.4 g/t Au and 10.5 g/t Au.
Discovery of a new mineralized shear outside of the drilling envelope close to the Southwest Zone of the Moss Deposit returning a surface assay of 12.3 g/t Au.
Expanded mineralized intercepts at the Moss Nose and Kawa prospects through assaying of unsampled historical drill core returning individual values as high as 7.88 g/t Au over 0.65m in ML-02-001.
Additional mineralized outcrops discovered at the Moss Nose prospects with grab samples returning up to 3.39 g/t Au.
Identified mineralization at surface over 4.5km along the Kawa trend with channel samples at the Deaty prospect returning 0.92 g/t over 2.85m.
Michael Henrichsen, CEO of Goldshore commented, "The results from the rock chip and channel sampling programs in conjunction with assaying unsampled historical drill core has demonstrated the potential within the Moss Deposit area. These results re-enforce not only our belief of the ability to extend the Moss Deposit but also the discovery potential in the area. The Company's technical team is currently designing a program to efficiently evaluate the 23 km of prospective structural corridors in the Moss Deposit area where we believe there is excellent potential for a new discovery."
Review of regional historical drill core:
Goldshore's Moss Nose and Kawa trend targets were initially drilled in the early 2000s by then project holder Moss Lake Gold Mines ("MLGM"). Goldshore has relogged the MLGM core and noted strong similarities between the diorite complex which hosts the Moss Deposit and the diorites present at both the Moss Nose and Kawa targets. Goldshore assayed 477 samples to fill in significant gaps in the original MLGM sampling to better define the widths and grade of the historical drilling. Assay results returned elevated Au values which expand the known mineralized zones at both targets with values as high as 7.88 g/t Au over 0.65m in ML-02-001 underscoring the difficulty of visually identifying mineralization (Figure 1). Trace element values within the diorites of the Moss Nose and Kawa trends are very similar to those of the Moss Deposit demonstrating the prospectivity of the host rocks at these target areas. Updated significant intercepts resulting from the assaying of unsampled historical drill core are presented in Table 1 and demonstrate intervals that could be on the margins of higher-grade zones as observed at the margins of the Moss Deposit.

Goldshore's 2023 field program focused on advancing targets within the Moss Deposit area. Gold mineralization styles discovered during this program included sulphidised iron formations as well as "Moss-like" shear-controlled sulphides. Assay results received from the 2024 grab and channel samples have revealed expanded surface gold mineralization at several targets including West Span, Southwest Kawa, Deaty, Moss Nose and a new near-deposit mineralized shear near the Moss Southwest Zone (Figure 2). Collectively these results demonstrate the potential within the Moss Deposit area. In particular, the high-grade grab samples of 15.4g/t Au and 10.5g/t Au from the West Span target demonstrate the potential of extending mineralization to the northeast of the Moss Deposit. In addition, the results from the Deaty prospect along the Kawa trend has demonstrated gold mineralization over a 4.5 km length and show the need for systematic exploration along the approximately 10km long trend to develop robust drill targets as the Company aims to realize the full potential of this structural corridor. Select results of the surface grabs and mineralized channel widths are included in Table 2 and Table 3 respectively.

In 2024 Goldshore has embarked on a systematic geochemical sampling program across the core of the project surrounding the Moss Deposit in order to identify the broader signature of the gold mineralization system and identify further targets. This work is split between an ongoing summer/fall outcrop sampling program and a top-of-bedrock drilling campaign that is in planning stages for 2025 to infill unexposed areas. Sampling from prior field work is contributing to this project where able.
A stripping program is also scheduled in the fall to expose more of the SW Kawa prospect discovered in 2022 (2.5km southeast of the Moss Deposit). Additional detailed geological mapping and channel sampling will assist in determining correlations between the broad mineralization seen across the Kawa trend and that of the Moss Deposit.

There is no guarantee that any part of the mineral resources discussed herein will be converted to a mineral reserve in the future. The estimate of mineral resources may also be materially affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation, soci-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

About Goldshore
Goldshore is a growth-oriented gold company focused on delivering long-term shareholder and stakeholder value through the acquisition and advancement of primary gold assets in tier-one jurisdictions. It is led by the ex-global head of structural geology for the world's largest gold company and backed by one of Canada's pre-eminent private equity firms. The Company's current focus is the advanced stage 100% owned Moss Gold Project which is positioned in Ontario, Canada, with direct access from the Trans-Canada Highway, hydroelectric power near site, supportive local communities and skilled workforce. The Company has invested over $60 million of new capital and completed approximately 80,000 meters of drilling on the Moss Gold Project, which, in aggregate, has had over 235,000 meters of drilling. The 2024 updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate ("MRE") has expanded to 1.54 million ounces of Indicated gold resources at 1.23 g/t Au and 5.20 million ounces of Inferred gold resources at 1.11 g/t Au. The MRE only encompasses 3.6 kilometers of the 35+ kilometer mineralized trend, remains open at depth and along strike and is one of the few remaining major Canadian gold deposits positioned for fast track through this development cycle.
