Press Release
February 11, 2025
VANCOUVER, B.C.,: Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR / OTCQB: GSHRF / FWB: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide the following update on the winter exploration program with all key activities under way including the completion of 5,848 meters of the 15,000 meter in-pit diamond drill program of which the Company anticipates further assay results by the end of February.
Michael Henrichsen, Goldshore CEO commented: “We’re excited to see our exploration program yielding promising results, with the discovery of extended altered diorite intrusions along the Superion trend and ongoing progress in infilling critical data gaps along the Kawa Trend. The addition of ground IP geophysics will further enhance our understanding of the property’s potential, and we look forward to reviewing the preliminary results and integrating them into our ongoing exploration efforts.“
Winter Exploration Program Update
In-Pit Drilling Update
The Company has completed 19 drill holes for 5,848 meters of the 15,000-meter winter drill program. This includes 14 holes from dry land at the Southwest Zone that have been accessible without any need for a consistent period of winter conditions. These holes successfully intersected shear zone hosted mineralization within the altered diorite package, targeting previously unpopulated resource blocks as defined in the current resource model. Additionally, these holes helped to better define the near-surface extent of the southern margin of the zone, refining our understanding of the margin of the system in this area.
Since late December, work has focused on building ice on Snodgrass Lake and on packing snow over the muskeg areas at Superion and QES. This work has allowed the Company to move the rigs in late January and to complete four drill holes at Superion and, most recently, the first hole at QES Up. Although the program is still in its early stages, drilling has intersected a broad chlorite-epidote-silica altered diorite intrusive with localized sericite-silica sulphide bearing shear zones on the northern flank of the main shear zone corridor.
A third drill rig is being sourced to assist with the upcoming lake ice portion of the drilling program. Further assay results from the in-pit diamond drill program are anticipated by the end of February.

Bedrock Geochemistry Sampling Update
The bedrock geochemical sampling program commenced last December using a track-mounted sonic rig focused on drilling the extensive area of esker that covers the boundary between the Hood Lake Stock and volcanic rocks of the Kawa Trend that is interpreted to be marked by the Knife Lake Fault. Drilling has been conducted from existing tracks and trails, pending the onset of winter conditions that will enable access to areas with muskeg terrain once frozen.
As part of the bedrock geochemistry program, 41 holes have been completed out of the planned 200. To date, 39 holes have successfully intersected bedrock at depths ranging from 10 to 50 meters. Additionally, two holes reached a maximum depth of 64 meters, remaining in esker material, which represents the operational limit of the drill rig. The holes that have intersected bedrock encountered unmineralized intrusion of the Hood Lake Stock in the southwest, sheared and faulted rocks of the Knife Lake Fault, and altered gabbro and volcanic rocks, which exhibit significant pyrite mineralization, in the northwest.
