Gold Standard Ventures Corp. Announces Plans for Its 2022 First Stage Exploration Program on Its +21,000 Hectare Land Package in Nevada’s Carlin Trend Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced plans for its 2022 first stage exploration program on its +21,000 hectare land package in Nevada’s Carlin Trend. The first stage program includes approximately 5,700 meters of reverse-circulation (“RC”) and core drilling over 20 holes. Drilling is scheduled to start in May 2022. Based on the results of the first stage exploration program, the Company intends to develop a second stage exploration program to be completed in the Fall and Winter of 2022. Oxide Drilling: Pinion SB Zone(contiguous SE extension of Pinion): 12 RC drill holes (approximately 3,050 meters) to further develop oxide mineralization at the SB Zone target. Previously released intercepts at SB Zone include: PC20-22 (61.1m of 1.07 g Au/t), and PC21-07 (27.4m of 1.26 g Au/t). The deposit remains open to the south, west, and east in this target zone. LT (3km NW from Pinion): 4 RC drill holes (approximately 800 meters) will continue to test for gold mineralization along the LT Fault. Previously released intercepts at LT include: LT21-02 (39.6m of 0.76 g Au/t) and LT20-08 (30.5m of 0.78 g Au/t). Mineralization at LT begins at surface and remains open to the north, south, west, and at depth. Sulphide Drilling: Ranch (1km north of Dark Star): 1 core drill hole (approximately 610 meters) to test for high-grade sulphide gold mineralization. Dark Star North oxide mineralization plunges towards the north. In 2019 the Company drilled hole DS19-01 approximately 1km to the north of the Dark Star North deposit to test for high-grade sulphide mineralization at depth. The hole terminated at ~550 meters. The bottom 3.5m of DS19-01 contained high concentrations of pathfinder elements to Carlin-type sulphide mineralization (3,342 ppm As, 50 ppm Hg, 182 ppm Tl and 303 ppm Sb). The core hole planned for 2022 is approximately 200 meters to the south of DS19-01. North Bullion (10km north of Pinion): 3 RC drill holes (approximately 1,250 meters) to test the northwest extension of high-grade sulphide mineralization at depth. Previously released intercepts at North Bullion include: RR16-01 (65.6m of 3.17 g Au/t sulphide mineralization, including 8.5m of 11.16 g Au/t) and RR16-05 (19.8m of 4.40 g Au/t sulphide mineralization, including 5.3m of 7.02 g Au/t). Previous drilling did not adequately test west of RR16-01 or RR16-05 and the deposit remains open to the northwest.

Gold Standard Ventures Reports Robust Feasibility Study for South Railroad Project Gold Standard Ventures Corp. provided the results of a robust Feasibility Study on its 100%-owned South Railroad Project located in Elko, Nevada. The Feasibility Study supports a technically straightforward open pit mine and run-of-mine heap leach operation with low capital intensity providing rapid payback and a peer leading financial return profile which enables the Company to pursue mine life extensions, seek to expand Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, and pursue exciting exploration opportunities within Gold Standard’s +21,000-hectare land package on the prolific Carlin Trend. Mineral Resource estimates for Dark Star, Pinion, POD /Sweet Hollow, Jasperoid Wash, and North Bullion were prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. The Mineral Resource estimates are based on a gold price of $1,750 per ounce. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves reported in this document. The Mineral Reserve estimates for Dark Star and Pinion are based on an open pit mine plan and production schedule outlined in the Feasibility Study. The Mineral Reserve estimation for the South Railroad Project. Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves amount to 65.2 million tons at 0.77 g Au/t, containing 1.60 million gold ounces and 6.1 million silver ounces. The Mineral Reserve estimate is based on a gold price of $1,450 per ounce. The Feasibility Study contemplates open pit mining from the Dark Star and Pinion deposits. Mineral Resources contained within the POD /Sweet Hollow, North Bullion, or Jasperoid Wash deposits, or any potential Mineral Resources at the Pinion SB Zone and LT targets, have not been considered as part of the Feasibility Study and remain subject to ongoing exploration. The mine is designed as a traditional truck and shovel operation with one year of pre-production and eight years of subsequent mining. Ore will be sent run-of-mine (“ROM”) to a leach pad to be processed. A total of 29.2 million tonnes of ROM ore is scheduled to be mined from the Dark Star pit averaging 0.90 g Au/t, mined at a relatively steady rate over the first six years of operation. Mining from the Pinion pit is projected to produce a total of 36.0 million tonnes of ROM ore at an average grade of 0.66 g Au/t and 5.3 g Ag/t. The ROM ore deliveries from the two pits total 65.2 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.77 g Au/t. The open pits have been designed and scheduled to maximize project rate of return. Pit slope optimization has been undertaken based on geotechnical data collected in 2020. Dark Star consists of four phases and Pinion contains five phases. Life of mine (“LOM”) strip ratios will be 2.80 at Dark Star and 5.15 at Pinion. Mining will be by conventional drill /blast /load /haul methods on 9.1-meter benches. Two 23-m3 hydraulic shovels and a 19-m3 loader will load a fleet of 13 181-tonne payload trucks operating between the two open pits. Aankondiging • Jan 19
Gold Standard Continues to Expand and Define Pinion SB Zone Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced positive drill results from eight reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes at the Pinion SB Zone (“SB Zone”) as part of its 2021 Exploration and Development Program (see press release dated May 20, 2021). The SB Zone is the contiguous southeast extension of the Pinion deposit. Key Highlights: SB Zone represents the best mine life extension opportunity at the South Railroad Project; potential production from this zone would be additive to the life of mine plan contemplated in the upcoming Feasibility Study.PR21-07 intersected 27.4m of 1.26 g Au/t, one of the highest grade intercepts at the SB Zone to date. PR21-06 intersected 45.7m of 0.52 g Au/t with mineralization beginning closer to surface than previous estimations of the SB Zone; the geological interpretation of this development will inform future SB Zone drill programs. PR21-01 and PR21-02 were two of the most eastern holes ever drilled at SB Zone, and PR21-03 and PR21-04 were two of the most southern holes ever drilled at SB Zone; all four drill holes intersected mineralization and prove the target remains open to the south and to the east. The 2021 program is a follow up of the significant intercepts from the 2020 SB Zone program which included 61.1 of 1.07 g Au/t in hole PC20-22. Gold intervals reported in this table were calculated using a 0.14 g Au/t cutoff for oxide mineralization. Weighted averaging has been used to calculate all reported intervals. True widths are estimated at 70-90% of drilled thicknesses. All Gold Standard sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s senior geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. A blank, certified reference material, or rig duplicate was inserted approximately every tenth sample. Samples were delivered to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories preparation facility in either Sparks, NV or Hermosillo, Mexico where they were crushed and pulverized. Resulting sample pulps were digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on a 30-gram split. Over limit gold assays were determined using a fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish on a 30-gram split. All other elements were determined by induced coupled plasma (ICP) in Vancouver, B.C. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to insure accurate and verifiable results. Additional QA/QC testing was completed with American Assay Labs in Reno, Nevada on the original sample pulps prepared by Bureau Veritas using fire assay fusion with an ICP finish. Drill hole deviation was measured by gyroscopic down hole surveys that were completed on all holes by International Directional Services of Elko, NV. Final drill collar locations are surveyed by differential GPS by Apex Surveying, LLC of Spring Creek, Nevada. All third party laboratories and service providers used or retained in the analysis of the samples are independent of Gold Standard. Breakeven Date Change • Nov 25

Gold Standard Ventures Corp Drilling Expands Near-Surface Oxide Gold Mineralization At the Dark Star Deposit Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported results of nine reverse-circulation (RC) drill holes at the Dark Star deposit on its 100%-owned/controlled Railroad-Pinion Project in Nevada’s Carlin Trend. Six holes targeted and intersected up-dip, near-surface oxide mineralization to the east of GSV’s drilling at Main Dark Star. Gold intervals reported in this table were calculated using a 0.14 g Au/t cutoff for oxide mineralization. Weighted averaging has been used to calculate all reported intervals. True widths are estimated at 70-90% of drilled thicknesses. All drill sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s project geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. A blank, certified reference material, or rig duplicate was inserted approximately every tenth sample. The samples were shipped to Paragon Geochemical’s certified laboratory in Sparks, NV where they were crushed and pulverized. Resulting sample pulps were digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an ICP-OES finish on a 30-gram split. All other elements were determined by ICP analysis. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards, blanks and duplicates that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to insure accurate and verifiable results. Drill hole deviation was measured by gyroscopic down hole surveys that were completed on all holes by International Directional Services of Elko, NV. Final drill collar locations are surveyed by differential GPS by Apex Surveying, LLC of Spring Creek, Nevada. The scientific and technical content contained in this news release have been reviewed, verified and approved by Steven R. Koehler, Gold Standard’s Manager of Projects, BSc. Geology and CPG-10216, a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Is New 90 Day High Low • Nov 19

Gold Standard Drilling Finds New High-Grade Oxide Gold Zone at the Pinion Deposit, Carlin Trend, Nevada Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced that its 2020 Pinion deposit development program has found a new higher-grade oxide zone with potential to grow. The new zone at Pinion exhibits thicker breccia as well as exceptional oxide grades based on recent drilling on GSV's 100%-owned/controlled Railroad-Pinion Project in Nevada's Carlin Trend. The drill results released are from an additional 36 reverse-circulation holes. With this release, all reverse circulation holes (60 total) have been reported. Results from 15 core holes are pending. Oxide results include 77.7m of 2.24 g Au/t, including 22.9m of 4.21 g Au/t in PR20-26; 38.1m of 4.37 g Au/t, including 16.8m of 5.41 g Au/t in PR20-34; 25.9m of 3.66 g Au/t, including 12.2m of 6.45 g Au/t in PR20-60; and 39.6m of 1.36 g Au/t, including 15.2m of 2.03 g Au/t in PR20-37. These results identify a number of new and potentially value-add opportunities at Pinion and the greater South Railroad Project, including: 1) a N60W trending zone of higher-grade oxide mineralization at Pinion that remains open to the south, east and at depth; 2) a potential expansion of the Pinion Phase 4 resource; and 3) a new gold host unit the Tripon Pass Formation which hosts +1 g Au/t reduced mineralization. Objectives of the drilling included: 1) decreasing drill spacing on the Pinion Phase 4 inferred oxide resource for conversion to Measured and Indicated; 2) providing material for metallurgical testing; and 3) tightening the drill spacings near historic Cameco holes SB-136, an RC hole that intersected 102.1m of 1.38 g Au/t, and SB-162-99, a core hole that twinned and verified the SB-136 results with an intercept of 112.0m of 1.24 g Au/t. All of these objectives have been successfully completed. Key Highlights for Pinion include: Drill hole PR20-26 intersected 77.7m of 2.24 g Au/t, including 22.9m of 4.21 g Au/t, and PR20-34 intersected 38.1m of 4.37 g Au/t, including 16.8m of 5.41 g Au/t. These drill holes are on the southern margin of the drill pattern and represent the best oxide intercepts ever completed at the Pinion deposit. Nine holes (PR20-26, -28, -29, -30, -34, -35, -36, -37 and -42) in this release and three holes (PR20-19, -20 and -27) announced last month (see October 20, 2020 news release) ended in altered multilithic breccia with oxide gold values ranging from 0.31 g Au/t to 2.52 g Au/t. These holes intersected thicker and higher gold grades than predicted by the resource model. Pinion Phase 4 drilling has defined a new N60W striking zone of higher than average deposit gold grade, considerable breccia thickness and an increase in igneous sills and dikes. Along this trend, oxide mineralization exhibits vertical and strike continuity over an area approximately 300m (along a NW/SE strike) by approximately 170m wide. Mineralization remains open for another 600m to the southeast of this drilling and at depth. Additional drilling is in progress to further define this zone, both at depth and along strike. PR20-34 also intersected a reduced gold zone of 10.7m of 2.14 g Au/t (at a 1.0 g Au/t cutoff) in the Tripon Pass Formation, immediately above the oxide intercept of 38.1m of 4.37 g Au/t. This reduced intercept represents a new gold host and style of mineralization at Pinion. In the northern portion of the drill pattern, three holes intersected vertically-continuous zones of +1 g Au/t oxide mineralization, including 32.0m of 1.14 g Au/t, including 10.7m of 2.40 g Au/t in PR20-47; 24.4m of 1.55 g Au/t, including 16.8m of 2.11 g Au/t in PR20-59; and 25.9m of 3.66 g Au/t, including 12.2m of 6.45 g Au/t in PR20-60. These holes intersected higher gold grades than predicted by the resource model. Gold intervals reported in this table were calculated using a 0.14 g Au/t cutoff for oxide mineralization and a 1.0 g Au/t cutoff for reduced mineralization. Weighted averaging has been used to calculate all reported intervals. True widths are estimated at 70-90% of drilled thicknesses. Aankondiging • Oct 30
Gold Standard Expands Near-Surface Oxide Gold Mineralization At the LT Discovery Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported that 10 exploration reverse-circulation ("RC") holes drilled at the LT oxide gold discovery have confirmed its potential to make an important contribution to feasibility mine plans at Gold Standard's 100%- owned/controlled Railroad-Pinion Project in Nevada's Carlin Trend. Objectives of the drilling included testing structural and stratigraphic targets to the north and south of LT19-02, a 2019 RC hole that intersected 12.2m of 1.58 g Au/t. A planned total of 1,324.4m of drilling in 10 RC holes has been completed year to date. Oxide results include 30.5m of 0.78 g Au/t, including 7.6m of 1.58 g Au/t in hole LT20-08; 24.3m of 0.73 g Au/t, including 6.1m of 1.26 g Au/t in LT20-01; 15.2m of 0.96 g Au/t in LT20-02; and 30.5m of 0.39 g Au/t in LT20-03. These oxide intercepts begin at or close to the current topographic surface, they establish strike and downdip continuity to mineralization and are open in multiple directions. Key Highlights from LT: Inclined drill holes LT20-01, -02 and -08 were collared from the same drill site approximately 55m north of discovery hole LT19-02. The down-dip test in LT20-01, intersected 25.9m of 0.79 g Au/t, including 6.1m of 1.47 g Au/t; a strike test to the northeast in LT20-08 intersected 30.5m of 0.78 g Au/t, including 7.6m of 1.58 g Au/t; and the up-dip test in
LT20-02 intersected 15.2m of 0.97 g Au/t. Oxide mineralization in these holes begins at the current topographic surface. LT20-03, an inclined RC hole approximately 77m south of LT19-02, intersected 30.5m of 0.39 g Au/t of near-surface, oxidized mineralization. Surface mapping and channel sampling was conducted in 2020 to better understand the controls of LT mineralization. To date, 252 three-meter channel samples were collected with individual assay values ranging from 0.001 to 11.9 g Au/t. Continuous channel samples identified two significant zones of oxide mineralization: a 24m-wide zone averaging 0.97 g Au/t on the north end of the current drill pattern, and 2) a 12m-wide zone averaging 7.05 g Au/t on the south end which remains untested by drilling. The southern zone is associated with a northeast-striking fault zone. The channel sampling program further refines the select rock chip sampling program from 2018. Results from the earlier program returned assay values ranging from <0.005 to 12.90 g Au/t, and included individual rock samples of 12.90 g Au/t, 11.20 g Au/t, 6.65 g Au/t and 4.50 g Au/t collected from surface outcrops over a 400m by 200m area.
