Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FWB: 8X00), is pleased to announce its latest assay results from its ongoing 15,000-meter drill program and first results from the Superion prospect on the north side of the Moss Gold Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada. The encountered mineralization at the Superion target is situated at the margin of the conceptual open pit at 60 meters depth; the Company believes this target has the potential to significantly add to the current mineral resource estimate within the top 200 meters from surface with continued drilling and to reduce the overall strip ratio of the deposit.
Michael Henrichsen, CEO of Goldshore commented, “We are very pleased with our first drill hole into the Superion target. The high grades encountered at shallow depths extending mineralization 350 meters vertically upward from a deep 2022 intercept clearly demonstrates the potential for resource growth at Moss and has the potential to significantly impact the economic performance of the deposit moving forward. The current 15,000-meter winter drill program is delivering outstanding results, exceeding our expectations and highlighting the potential for a much larger mineralized system which will be pursued in the near future through additional drilling.”

Technical Overview
Figure 1 shows the location of the drill holes being reported with respect to the planned winter drill program, while Figure 2 illustrates a cross section through drill hole MQD-25-148 that demonstrates significant mineralization on the northern flank of the current mineral resource. Tables 1 & 2 summarize significant intercepts and drill hole locations, respectively.

Drilling at the Superion target aims to quantify the near surface potential of previous deep intercepts and untested soil anomalies north of the QES Zone across a 1,500m x 400m area of sparsely tested muskeg. A significant portion of this area lies within the conceptual open pit and is currently flagged as waste material. Any discoveries in this area will immediately reduce the potential strip ratios and potentially support an overall expansion of the QES conceptual open pit.
Hole MQD-25-148 was drilled to test the immediate up dip potential of shears intersected in hole MQD-22-014, which was previously extended past the QES Zone, and intersected 16.0m of 2.69 g/t Au from 477m in MQD-22-014, including 5.25m of 7.87 g/t Au from 477.75m.Hole MQD-25-148collared into a wide zone of generally undeformed epidote-chlorite altered diorite containing 2-3% pyrite before encountering a series of close spaced shear zones containing strong sericite-silica alteration, numerous highly deformed cm-scale quartz veins and 4-5% pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization from 82.15-93.45m. The hole returned to an epidote-chlorite diorite with 2-3% pyrite and 10cm scale patches of strong silicification for the remainder of the hole.
The shear zone returned a significant high-grade interval of 17.6m of 3.03 g/t Au & 9.62 g/t Ag from 76.4m including 6.80m of 7.06 g/t Au & 23.9 g/t Ag from 79.1m (Figure 3). The 1:3 Au-Ag ratio in these results is notably higher than the typical 1:1.5 Au-Ag ratio encountered at the Moss Deposit, highlighting the need to resample historical drill core to build the silver database as it has the potential to add value to the Moss Gold Project.

Drilling at the Southwest Zone continues its focus on adding to the mineral resource by infilling gaps within the current model created by sparse drilling. Drilling at shallow depths of 100-200 meters will allow for mineralized shear zones to be extended to the surface. Drilling at depths of 200 to 400 meters will allow the expansion of the open pit resource to a similar depth as the Main-QES pit (~500 meters).
Hole MMD-25-143 was drilled beneath shallowly defined mineralization from the eastern side of the Southwest Zone collaring into a sequence of brecciated dacitic volcanic rocks with a swarm of narrow chlorite altered diorite dykes. At 140m depth, the hole entered the typical altered and locally sheared diorite package for the remainder of the hole yielding intercepts such as 10.8m of 0.43 g/t Au from 155.2m and 18.6m of 0.56 g/t Au from 256.5m, including 2.0m of 1.40 g/t Au from 266.0m.
Holes MMD-25-144 and MMD-25-145 collared in the centre of the Southwest Zone and drilled towards the southeast to extend the previously defined shear zones toward surface. Both holes collared into the wide multi-stage silica-sericite and epidote-chlorite altered diorite intrusion package, as is typical of the peripheral areas of the Southwest Zone, yielding broad lower grade intercepts such as 12.0m of 0.98 g/t Au from 76.0m, including 3.6m of 2.77 g/t Au from 79.0m in MMD-25-144, and 35.35m of 0.14 g/t Au from 263m, before ending in the dacitic volcanic rocks depicting the end of the zone.

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures
All samples were sent to ALS Geochemistry in Thunder Bay for preparation and analysis was performed in the ALS Vancouver analytical facility. ALS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for the Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were analysed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish (“Au-AA23”) and 48 pathfinder elements via ICP-MS after four-acid digestion (“ME-MS61”). Samples that assayed over 10 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish (“Au-GRA21”).
In addition to ALS quality assurance / quality control protocols, Goldshore has implemented a quality control program for all samples collected through the drilling program. The quality control program was designed by a qualified and independent third party, with a focus on the quality of analytical results for gold. Analytical results are received, imported to our secure on-line database and evaluated to meet our established guidelines to ensure that all sample batches pass industry best practice for analytical quality control. Certified reference materials are considered acceptable if values returned are within three standard deviations of the certified value reported by the manufacture of the material. In addition to the certified reference material, certified blank material is included in the sample stream to monitor contamination during sample preparation. Blank material results are assessed based on the returned gold result being less than ten times the quoted lower detection limit of the analytical method. The results of the on-going analytical quality control program are evaluated and reported to Goldshore by Orix Geoscience Inc.
