Gold Standard Ventures Significantly Expands Gold Envelope Along North Bullion Fault Zone on its Railroad Project, Carlin Trend, Nevada

Page 2 of 3

The Railroad Project Plan of Operations approved by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) December, 2012 allows up to 200 acres of disturbance on the public lands in addition to the previously permitted alternating private sections permitted through the Nevada Department Of Environmental Protection. As a result the vast majority of the Bullion Fault, sufficient for a major drill campaign along the Bullion Fault Corridor, is fully permitted.

Please see table below for detailed significant Intercepts for North Bullion Fault Zone.

The reported gold intervals may, or may notrepresent true thicknesses and, or widths. In general, the gold distributionwithin these large, complex tectonic and collapse breccia bodies tends to beirregular and determinable by grade breaks only.
