Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – November 11, 2020 – Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Gold Basin"), (CSE:GXX) (CNSX:GXX.CN) today provided a corporate update, covering the recently concluded acquisition of the Gold Basin oxide gold project in Arizona (the "Gold Basin Project"); a C$4.72M capital raise, which included the investment and appointment of strategic advisors to the Company; and the Company’s near term planned exploration activities at the Gold Basin Project.

Michael Povey, the Company’s CEO and President, stated:

"The Company is extremely pleased to have finalized the 100% acquisition of the Gold Basin Project in mid-September and a successful $4.72M capital raising. The compelling nature of the project attracted many new Canadian investors, including John Robins and Jim Paterson, who have now joined us as Strategic Advisors. These achievements provide a robust foundation for the Company to advance its newest asset, the Gold Basin Project in Mohave County, Northern Arizona."

"The Gold Basin Project represents an exciting exploration opportunity for the Company. The unpatented claim areas cover district-scale gold mineralization, a historical gold resource and tremendous scope for a resource estimate. The Company aims to provide an initial JORC Compliant resource estimate for the Stealth and Cyclopic areas on the Gold Basin Project in the coming week and commence a fully permitted and fully-funded 90-hole 6000m drill program before mid-November."

"This Stage 1 drilling program, consisting of both reverse-circulation and diamond drill holes, will target the historical gold mineralisation of the Cyclopic zone and provide both structural and metallurgical data for the deposit. It is expected this work will provide a new resource and provide a strong base for a Stage 2 drill program planned for the new year that will further delineate the outstanding potential of this deposit."

John Robins, investor and Strategic Advisor to Gold Basin Resources Corporation, stated:

"Gold Basin represents a perfect opportunity for us to invest our capital and provide support to a very strong technical team as they execute a clear plan to add significant value to a high-quality gold project in an excellent jurisdiction."

"With CAD$3.5 million in cash, Gold Basin is fully financed to commence drilling this month, with a goal to rapidly and cost effectively investigate the historical resource at the Gold Basin Project in Arizona."
