Gossan Drilling Underway at Sturgeon Lake VMS Zinc Project

Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2018) - Gossan Resources Limited (TSXV: GSS) (FSE: GSR) has commenced drilling at its highly prospective Sturgeon Lake property, located in the eastern part of the historic zinc-rich polymetallic Sturgeon Lake VMS Camp of Northwestern Ontario. Four distinct high-priority, multi-parameter volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) target areas will be tested with a diamond drill program of up to 2,000 metres.

Gossan's Sturgeon Lake Property is comprised of a 14-claim block, totaling 3,088 hectares, which lies directly along strike and to the east of six historic VMS deposits. Management believes its Sturgeon property has the potential to host a significant zinc-copper-silver-rich VMS deposit, similar to those mined from 1970 to 1991 in the renowned base-metal camp, and which accounted for approximately 18.7 million tonnes of ore, with average grades of 8.0% zinc, 1.1% copper, 0.8% lead, 120 g/t silver and 0.5 g/t gold.

• A VTEM geophysical survey has identified three east-west trending parallel horizons with strong and laterally extensive sulphide-bearing conductors, along strike with the past-producing Sturgeon Lake and Lyon Lake VMS ore deposits.

• Geochemical surveys conducted over these geophysical targets have identified four distinct coincident multi-metal targets.

• 3D Maxwell modeling of VTEM geophysics has further defined the extent and orientation of electromagnetic conductors, co-incident with geochemical anomalies, in the four target areas.

• Prior drilling in the southeast corner of the property, intercepted favourable geological horizons containing blue-quartz-eye-rich rhyolites with hydrothermal alteration and sulphide mineralization similar to rhyolite formations hosting the nearby Sturgeon Lake and Lyon Lake deposits.
