May 18, 2022 – TheNewswire - London, Ontario – Goldseek Resources Inc. ( CSE:GSK) (FSE:4KG) (“Goldseek” or the“ Company ”) is pleased to announce full gold results from its winterdrill program at the Beschefer Project. BE-22-22 intersected 3.1 g/t Au over 6.5 metres, including 4.92 g/t Au over 2.8 metres , successfullyextending the East Zone 30 metres to the east. BE-22-24 was asuccessful extension hole with 1.76 g/t Au over 9.65 metres on the easternstrike extent of the East Zone. The BescheferProject is located approximately 30 kilometres southwest of WallbridgeMining Company Limited’s (“Wallbridge”) Fenelon Gold Project. OnMarch 3 rd, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement on theBeschefer Project to earn 100% over 4 years from Wallbridge ( see news release datedMarch 3, 2021 ).
Goldseek's President & CEO Jon Deluce states, “We are very excited to announce the full goldresults from our winter drill program. We continue to outline thestrong continuity and expansion potential at Beschefer. At the easternmargin of our drill grid, we identified wide low-grade intervalsassociated with strong alteration and brecciation, which areconsidered proximity indicators for the next potential high-grade goldshoot.
We are planning a follow-up drill program this summerand geophysics to better investigate the location of additionalhigh-grade gold shoots cross-cutting the main northeasttrend.”
The Beschefer Project is positioned on a kilometricsection of the B14 shear system hosted in the Brouillan volcanicformation. The northeast shallow dipping structure was discoveredduring the nineties, 12km east of the former Selbaie Mine following abase metal targeting program. The gold-bearing structure is open tothe east on the property over a strike length of approximately 2km.
This drill program successfully extended the knownmineralized lenses: Central Shallow Zone, East Zone, and EasternExtension, between a vertical depth of 175 and 350 metres. Thefollowing results were successful in extending the northeastgold-bearing trend over approximately 200 metres.
East Zone
BE-22-22 wasdrilled at close range east of the central East Zone section at around275 metres vertical depth. This hole intercepted 3.1 g/t Au over 6.5 metres, including 4.92 g/tAu over 2.8 metres in an albitized shear zone atthe hanging wall of the B14 structure and hosted about 5% ofdisseminated pyrite.
BE-22-27: wasdrilled at close range east of the central East Zone section tointercept the up-dip extension at about 200 metres vertical depth.This hole intercepted 1.52 g/tAu over 6.45 metres , higher grades were obtainedfrom narrow quartz-pyrite bands concordant to the strong deformationfabric.
East Zone Extension
BE-22-24 wasdrilled to test the eastern strike extension of the East Zone to linkthe Zone with BE-21-14. This hole intercepted 1.76 g/t Au over 9.65metres , including 2.79 g/t Au over 5.2 metres hosted in a strongly feldspathized and brecciated unit.Rarely seen in the area, more than half of the mineralized intervalcorresponds to a brecciated gold-bearing quartz vein which ran againstthe alteration zone. According to the Leapfrog model, BE-22-24reinforces a northeast mineralized trend, which can be interpretedover about 100 metres. Hole BE-22-23 was drilled more than 80 metres downdip. The low-grade interval of 0.52 g/t Au over 10.5 metres supports thedown-dip extension potential of the gold system.
BE-22-17 and BE-22-25 targeted the extension of the mineralized system pasthistorical drilling and up to 50 metres east of BE-21-14 to support astrong northeast gold trend. Both holes have intersected a strongshear zone evolving to a tectonic breccia over 30 metres. Mineralizedintervals of respectively 0.6g/t Au over 15.5 metres (including 1.1 g/t over5m) and 0.81 g/t Au over 1.15metres are related to massive albite-ankeritealteration overprinting integrally volcanic texture of the host rockdeveloped against the B14 ductile shear zone. Disseminated pyrite isobserved in minor amounts through the entire unit.

The program was carried out under the supervision of Martin Demers,P.Geo and a consultant for Goldseek Resources, the qualified personresponsible for this news release. The field program was run by SLExploration with drill core split at the Technominex facility inRouyn-Noranda. Samples for assaying were sent to AGAT Laboratories forfire assays with an AA and gravimetric finish. Whole metallic assaysare performed on samples greater than 10 g/t gold and samplescontaining visible gold. Duplicates, standards and blanks wereinserted into the sample stream.
