Goldstrike Resources Ltd. (GSR.V)
(Goldstrike) is pleased to announce results from its first pass
prospecting and geochemical exploration program at its newly staked
Willie Jack property in northern British Columbia (BC). Located in
the Atsulta Mountain range, this is an area that has been
previously overlooked for its gold potential with no known
historical hard rock gold showings.
The prospecting portion of the 2020 program was
successful in discovering widespread high-grade gold mineralization
in rock over a distance of 6 kilometers, with assays up to 164 g/t
(4.78 oz/ton) gold (Au) and 257 g/t (7.50 oz/ton) silver (Ag).
The soil geochemical survey was successful in
outlining a 4.5 km long gold-silver-arsenic (Au-Ag-As) soil anomaly
with gold values up 0.8 g/t. Upon receiving the results Goldstrike
immediately extended its land package to cover new target areas of
potential mineralization. The prospecting and geochemical survey
included the collection of 185 ridge and spur soil samples and 94
rock grab samples.

the 2020 sample results map.
The Willie Jack property is located in one of
British Columbia’s last frontiers and has had no documented
modern-day gold exploration prior to Goldstrike’s 2020 summer
program. Based on the quantity, grades, and aerial extent of
auriferous samples discovered, Goldstrike’s team believes there is
potential to delineate an extensive gold system in this area of
previously un-recognized gold potential in British Columbia.
Project Generation:
The Willie Jack property is a grassroots gold
target, generated in-house by Goldstrike’s team, and covering
highly prospective ground in an underexplored area of northern
British Columbia. The Goldstrike project generation team has a
solid track record of discoveries, including the Plateau property
in east-central Yukon Territory, and the recently staked Skelly
property in northern British Columbia.
Location:
The 3,503-hectare property is 100%-owned by
Goldstrike Resources with no underlying payments or royalties. The
property is situated in the Atsulta Mountain range on the Kawdy
Plateau in northern British Columbia, Canada. It is located
130 km NW of Dease Lake, BC and 70 km south of the Yukon-BC
border.
Geology:
The Willie Jack property covers a strongly
anomalous regional geochemical gold-arsenic-antimony (Au-As-Sb)
signature within a geological setting that shows potential for both
porphyry and intrusion-related gold mineralization. The property is
situated at the headwaters of a historic placer gold-bearing creek
and covers a Jurassic age granite pluton that intrudes Paleozoic
sedimentary rocks. The area was briefly prospected in the early
1970’s for its copper porphyry potential but no assays were
taken for gold.
Widespread gold-silver mineralization was
discovered on the property in 2020. Grab samples of rock float
material assayed up to 164 g/t Au and 257 g/t Ag, and bedrock
samples returned values up to 13.9 g/t Au and 25 g/t Ag. Copper
(Cu) values as high as 1.74 % were also obtained from bedrock
samples.
Significant gold assays were returned from both
granitic intrusive rocks and sedimentary rocks. The higher-grade
gold values were returned from narrow, steeply dipping
quartz-sulphide veins hosted in a propylitic-altered granite.
Weakly anomalous gold values were also returned from granite-hosted
gossanous fracture zones that contain disseminated fine grained
pyrite. Auriferous samples obtained from the sedimentary rocks near
the granite contact consisted of quartz-arsenopyrite veins and
resemble gold skarn mineralization. Several soil sample sites
covering 4.5 kilometers of the granite-sedimentary rock contact
display an anomalous Au-Ag-As +/- Bi-Sb-Te
(bismuth-antimony-tellurium) signature, further suggesting gold
skarn mineralization. This anomaly may represent the lode source of
the placer gold in Willie Jack Creek directly downslope, and
remains a priority for the 2021 follow up program.

the Willie Jack presentation.
Target Generation:
Three new grassroots properties
available for option
During this period of global pandemic and rising
gold prices, Goldstrike’s team has been compiling and analyzing
British Columbia’s vast geological and geochemical databases in
order to generate gold targets in underexplored areas. While
Goldstrike’s main focus will remain advancement of the Plateau
Property, the company will continue to generate, develop, and
option out grassroots gold properties in British Columbia and Yukon
Territory.
Three properties were staked by Goldstrike
Resources in 2020: the Skelly, Willie Jack, and
McMurdo properties. All three of the
properties are located in British Columbia and underwent
reconnaissance-style exploration. Results of the Skelly property
program can be found in the news release dated October 5th, 2020.
Results are still pending for McMurdo property and will be released
as assays are received and compiled.
Message from
the President
“This is hands down the most successful
grassroots, first pass exploration program completed by the company
to date. The widespread, high-grade gold mineralization discovered
in this remote underexplored part of northern BC is extremely
encouraging. We have staked additional ground, thereby expanding
the claim package in the area, and are excited to follow up on
these new discoveries next season. The Willie Jack property has the
potential to be developed into a district-scale discovery.
I am thoroughly impressed with our team’s
results and achievements during this uncertain Covid-19 pandemic
time period. I believe Goldstrike has positioned itself well to
take advantage of the current gold bull market that continues to
remain strong.”
