Gold Standard Ventures Corp. ("Gold Standard") (TSX VENTURE:GV)(OTCQX:GDVXF)
(www.goldstandardv.com) is pleased to report additional assay results from the
lower portion of completed hole RR11-16 and completed holes RR11-17 and RR11-18
in the North Bullion Fault Zone (NBFZ) target
(http://goldstandardv.com/conference). Highlights of new assay results from
RR11-18 include: 255 feet of 0.048 ozAu/st (77.8m of 1.63g) from 1,070 to 1,325
feet (326.1-403.9m), including 110 feet of 0.075 ozAu/st (33.5m of 2.58g) from
1,180 to 1,290 feet (359.7-393.2m). Previously reported assay results from the
upper portion of RR11-16 included: 185 feet of 0.125 ozAu/st (56.4m of 4.29g)
from 555 to 740 feet (169.2-225.6m), including 60 feet of 0.214 ozAu/st (18.3m
of 7.34g).
Thick zones of gold mineralization occur within and below complex, tectonically
broken to shattered zones within what has been interpreted to be multiple
slide-blocks lying above, and affected by, large mineralized
dissolution-collapse created breccia bodies developed within underlying
carbonate rock units. The breccia bodies encountered in our drill holes are
locally more than 1,500 feet thick. This geological setting of overlying,
generally non-permissive siliciclastic rock units that provide a cap above
carbonate rocks that have undergone large volumes of hydrothermal induced
dissolution and collapse is a common theme and an ideal geological setting for
the development of very large gold deposits in Nevada, examples of which include
Gold Strike and Gold Quarry in the central and northern portions of the Carlin
Trend.
"Early in our Railroad exploration program our drilling encountered large, thick
zones of collapse breccias containing anomalous gold up to the one gram, or
more, and these results led us into the NBFZ target area. Potential economically
important high grade feeders that created the breccias and fed in the gold
mineralization are thoroughly obscured by the non-receptive capping units, and
in places post-mineral volcanic rocks. Gravity data combined with geochemistry
provided good information for getting us close to the major structures and the
possible flanking feeder zones, but it has now become the job of the drill and
careful geological interpretation of drill core and assay results to further
zero in on the high grade feeder zones. We believe we may have clipped one of
these feeders (185 feet of 0.125 ozAu/st) in hole RR11-16," states Dave
Mathewson, Vice President of Exploration.
Drill hole RR12-1 - currently in progress at 920 feet, is an eastward flatter
angled -55 degrees offset being drilled from the same site as RR11-18. Drill
hole RR12-2 - currently in progress at 1,298 feet, is also an eastward flatter
angled -55 degrees offset being drilled from the same site as RR11-16. Drill
hole RR12-2 is approximately 300 feet to the south of RR12-1. These holes are
designed to provide 150 to 300 foot offsets and lateral target comparisons and
definition to the mineralization encountered in 18 and 16, and they are designed
to further locate and configure potential high grade feeder zones toward the
east and north to south within the NBFZ target area. Additional drilling is
being planned primarily to the north of these intercepts, but the south
direction also remains open to high grade target opportunities. The location of
the eastern hard boundary to the mineralization -- comprised of a major fault --
is approximately known, but has not been intersected by drilling. It is believed
that these more flatly drilled (-55 degrees) holes currently in progress may
serve to locate the mineral system boundary, but more importantly will provide a
greater chance of intersecting high-angle feeder zones and provide good
cross-sectional information.
The company would also like to announce that drilling will continue with these
two core rigs beyond RR 12-1 and RR 12-2 and will be joined by an additional 4 -
5 rigs to the Railroad Project in late May/early June as we ramp up our 2012
exploration program.
A conference call will be held by the company at 2:00pm EST to discuss today's
release and the ongoing exploration program at Railroad. Dial in numbers are
provided at the end of this press release.

All reported assay intervals are based on certified ALS Minerals Laboratory
assay results from split core.
All reported thicknesses are true mineral thicknesses at the particular location
of these intercepts.
Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's project
geologist and the chain of custody from the drill to the sample preparation
facility was continuously monitored. Core was cut at the company's facility in
Elko and one half was sent to the lab for analysis and the other half retained
in the original core box. A blank, quarter core duplicate or certified reference
material was inserted approximately every tenth sample. The samples are
delivered to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Elko. The samples are crushed
and pulverized and sample pulps are shipped to ALS Minerals certified laboratory
in Vancouver where they are digested and analyzed using fire assay fusion and an
atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on a 30 gram split. Data
verification of the analytical results includes a statistical analysis of the
duplicates, standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for
acceptance to insure accurate and verifiable results.
