Goldsource Mines Inc. Announces Expansion of Eagle Mountain and Salbora Deposits
102 Metres Grading 0.61 gpt Gold
Vancouver, July 29, 2020 - Goldsource Mines Inc. (TSXV: GXS) (OTCQB: GXSFF) (FSE: G5M) ("Goldsource" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional expansion and in-fill drill results from several targets located within the Eagle Mountain Gold Project ("Eagle Mountain Project") in Guyana, South America. Expansion drill results of the Eagle Mountain Gold deposit (No 1 Hill area) and Salbora deposit and in-fill drill results of the Powis Prospect represent 19 core holes for 4,173 metres (see attached Figures). These new results will be included in the ongoing resources estimation anticipated by Q4, 2020.
- Eagle Mountain Gold Deposit (No. 1 Hill area):
- Expansion step out drilling is for an area 170 metres west of the boundary to the current Eagle Mountain resource.
- Drill results of five (5) core holes for 595 metres are reported in the table below.
- Historic drilling in the area consists of six (6) core holes for 705 metres are also included in the table below.
- An additional three (3) core holes, totalling 313 metres, have been drilled in the No.1 Hill area and are awaiting assays.
- Additional drilling is planned in H2, 2020.
- Salbora Deposit:
- Expansion step out drilling results to the northern part of the deposit and to depth.
- Drill results of seven (7) core holes for 1,779 metres are reported in the table below.
- Represents an expanded high-grade footprint (surface) of 300 metres long by 100 metres wide.
- Near surface drilling is planned in H2, 2020.
- Powis Prospect:
- In-fill drill results of five (5) core holes for 1,389 metres.
- A gold mineralized footprint of 200 metres long by 40 metres wide to a minimum depth of 200 metres.
- Additional drilling is planned in H2, 2020.
The Company currently does not plan to conduct any work to verify the historical drilling or estimates other than using them to guide its exploratory drilling work.
Yannis Tsitos, President, commented, "The continued expansion of several gold deposits at the Eagle Mountain Project increases our near-surface gold mineralization. Two drill rigs are currently operating at Waterline, an extension target North of Salbora, and at No. 1 Hill area. We plan to add a third drill rig when COVID-19 related travel restrictions are eased in Guyana."
The most significant results for this release are holes EMD20-111 which intersected 21 metres grading 1.84 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold (or "Au") and EME20-041 which intersected 102 metres grading 0.61 gpt gold. The following table shows the most significant results (uncut, undiluted):

(1) EMD defines diamond core holes drilled in-house.
EME defines diamond core holes drilled by drilling contractor.
(2) True widths are 70 to 90% of drilled widths.
(3) Cutoff grade of 0.3 gpt Au.
All sample preparation and geochemical analyses were completed by Actlabs Guyana Inc. in Georgetown, Guyana. EME20-030, EME20-031, EME20-039 and EME20-040 intersected mineralization below the Company's cut off grade of 0.3 gpt Au.
Geologically, the No. 1 Hill area at Eagle Mountain shows the same characteristics to the main Eagle Mountain deposit, with gold located in shallowly dipping mineralized zones, within chloritic fractures containing pyrite crosscutting granodiorite (granitoid). No.1 Hill is the down dropped extension of the Kilroy zone which contains gold resources. This extension may expand resources that were previously limited by a fault. At Salbora, several hydrothermal breccias have been discovered along a general north-south trend, the Company is targeting this trend to locate additional hydrothermal breccias and gold mineralization.
Once Guyana COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted and the International airport is re-opened, the Company plans to operate three (3) drills to complete additional expansion and in-fill drill holes for 7,500 to 10,000 metres (H2, 2020) at Eagle Mountain including testing additional geophysical and geological target areas, such as Waterline, Montgomery and Minnehaha. The objective is to complete an updated resource estimate for the Eagle Mountain Project in Q4, 2020.
