Exploration company Gold Standard Ventures has reported multiple results from its Dark Star prospect at its 100%-owned Railroad-Pinon project over the past week and a half.

More Expert Comments

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (4/10/17) "We think the weakness in Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s shares over the past few weeks is a buying opportunity. We have a high conviction that the south portion of the Carlin trend has high potential to host multiple high-grade shallow oxide gold deposits along with multiple sulphide gold deposits. . .we reiterate our Outperform rating."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (4/10/17) "Today, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced preliminary metallurgical work from the oxide mineralization at Main Dark Star, which had average recoveries of 89% over 320 samples and an average of 90% at North Dark Star over 1,073 samples. . .we view these results positively and continue to confirm the company's thesis that the project can be mined via an open-pit, heap-leach scenario."

	Byron King, Gold Speculator (3/28/17) "Last week, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced that it recently acquired almost 21,000 contiguous acres of prospective mining rights at its exploration area near Ely, Nevada, in the heart of the Carlin trend. . .overall, it equates to roughly 45% of the company's total land package of 52,000 acres. . .Gold Standard is cashed up, with a solid drilling program set to kick off when the weather breaks."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (3/27/17) "Buy Gold Standard Ventures Corp. after a significant 'land grab' last week, expanding flagship, 100%-owned, Railroad-Pinion's land package by 66% to 208 km sq in the Carlin trend, Nevada. We believe any time a company adds strike length land positions on trend to very prospective geology at an attractive upfront cost of ~$500K (and annual holding costs of ~$290K) that it is potentially highly accretive; Gold Standard is an explorer Top Pick."

Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (3/23/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported that it has added a ~20 kha largely contiguous land position immediately south of its 100%-owned Railroad-Pinion project. . .the additions were via lease agreements and by staking for ~$500K. . .we reiterate our Outperform rating."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (3/1/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is busy revving up for its aggressive 2017 program, which will include 48,800m of drilling in 117 reverse circulation and diamond drill holes; the $15.5M program will seek to expand the North Dark Star discovery, grow the Pinion resource and test other high-grade targets within the district-scale project. It's an ambitious program and one I expect to add significant value to this project and this company."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (2/9/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported drill results for 25 holes (8,056m) that included infill/expansion drilling of its Pinion deposit and initial holes that tested the Sentinel and Irene targets, 100% Railroad-Pinion project. . .the new discovery is in the footwall to the north-trending Bullion fault and is open for expansion to the north and west. . .drilling at Pinion North, Pinion Main and Pinion South returned results in line with expectation. . .we reiterate our Outperform recommendation."

	Byron King, Gold Speculator (1/10/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.’s share price continued to trade up last week, following the trend set by generally positive gold sector sentiment. . .Gold Standard is cashed up, with an impressive $61 million in the bank, based on a recent fund raise. . .its land package, along the prolific Carlin Trend of central Nevada, is outstanding. . . Gold Standard is among the most promising explorers out there. . .there’s upside here as gold prices recover and move back onto an ascending pathway. Maintain buy up to $3.25."

Byron King, Gold Speculator (12/20/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is cashed up, with $61 million in the bank, based on a recent fund raise. Its land package along the prolific Carlin Trend of central Nevada is outstanding. . .Gold Standard is among the most promising explorers out there. . .there's upside here as gold prices recover and move back onto an ascending pathway. . .maintain Buy up to $3.25."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (11/1/16) "High-grade gold have become the norm for Gold Standard Ventures Corp. as its drilling program on Railroad-Pinion’s North Dark Star deposit continues. . .in a sign of how much the market thinks of the results coming from GSV'S North Dark Star, the company's share price has ticked only slightly downward in the face of strong headwinds from the broader market. . . it’s also a sign that investors appreciate the likelihood of Gold Standard being taken out by one of the majors already in Nevada. . .it's a solid hold on our list at current levels and a potential buy on any significant weakness."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (10/31/16) "Goldcorp will own 22.9 million shares of Gold Standard Ventures Corp. which represents 10% of the Company. . .the proceeds of the financing will be used to acquire certain royalty interests at Pinion-Railroad, purchase additional land claims, continued exploration work, and for general corporate purposes. . .our NAV estimate remains largely unchanged at $3.23/sh (was $3.21/sh). We continue to apply a multiple of 1.2x (unchanged) to the operating portion of our NAV, which represents a takeout premium, to arrive at our target price of $3.70/sh (unchanged). . .we are maintaining our BUY recommendation and SPECULATIVE risk rating."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (10/29/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. took advantage of its strong share price to raise no less than $38 million. There was obviously a good amount of interest in the raise, as it was announced at $25 million and three days later was boosted to $38 million. . .Goldcorp, which took a 9.9% stake in GSV in February, is participating pro rata, which means the gold major is putting another $15M into Gold Standard. . .with this raise Gold Standard has almost $60M in the bank. As such it is incredibly well funded to aggressively drill all the targets at the Railroad project."

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (10/24/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced a CA$25M private placement. . .Goldcorp increased its ownership in GSV, which we believe is a vote of confidence in the project. . .GSV noted that the proceeds would be used to acquire additional land around its Railroad project, repurchase royalties on the project, and for general corporate purchases. . .good drill results continue. . .we continue to believe that GSV has significant resource growth potential and that a resource update could provide a significant positive catalyst for the company."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (10/17/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Inc. released one particularly nice drill hole from North Dark Star. . .Dark Star has been delivering the most exciting results for the company and the latest three holes fit that bill. In particular, hole 16-24 returned 3.16 g/t gold over 97.3 meters. . .the stock remains a buy for GSV’s large land package, multiple discoveries, extent of pending news flow, backing from majors, and discovery potential."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Equity Research (10/13/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported drill results for three holes from its North Dark Star discovery, 100% Railroad-Pinion project, Carlin Trend, Nevada, US. . . .We remind investors that North Dark Star is accentuated by three attractive features that indicate a large Carlin gold system is being documented: 1) very high grade +3g/t, long +100m intersections; 2) +300m thick, strong decalcification alteration, and; 3) extensive development of barite. . . We reiterate our Outperform recommendation and C$4.10 target."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (10/13/16) "We continue to believe that Gold Standard Ventures Corp. will be able to delineate a meaningful high grade initial resource estimate at North Dark Star at the conclusion of this year's drill program to compliment the combined 2.1 Moz resource that has already been established at the Company's nearby Pinion and Dark Star deposits. . .our NAV estimate remains the same at $3.21/sh. . .we continue to apply a multiple of 1.2x unchanged)to the operating portion of our NAV, which represents a takeout premium, to arrive at our target price of $3.70/sh (unchanged). . .we are maintaining our BUY recommendation and SPECULATIVE risk rating."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (10/1/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. continues to pump out impressive assays from drilling on North Dark Star . . .the area intersected is an up-dip extension of the discovery area at North Dark Star. . .not only is the mineralization nearer to surface than the mineralization from previous holes, but it demonstrates the expansion potential here via the drill bit. . .the company’s share price has fallen off a bit since the big run up based on last month’s results. . .we’ll keep it a hold for now, but will consider adding it back to the buy list if this weakness in the face of quality drilling results continues."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (9/28/16) "We have updated our valuation for Gold Standard Ventures Corp. based on the Company's impressive exploration results achieved to date at its newly discovered high-grade North Dark Star deposit . . .has achieved significant exploration success at North Dark Star to date, highlighted by: 1) Hole DS15-13: 1.61 g/t gold over 97.0m; 2) DS16-08: 3.95 g/t gold over 126.2m; and 3) DS16-03B: 1.50 g/t gold over 101.2m. . .new target price of $3.70/sh (was $3.00/sh). We are maintaining our BUY recommendation and SPECULATIVE risk rating."

	The Gold Report Article by Brien Lundin (9/22/16) "In February, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced that Goldcorp Inc. made a CA$16.1 million strategic investment and OceanaGold Corp. made a CA$13.8 million strategic investment. Not long after, Gold Standard announced a US$13.4 million 2016 exploration program for its Railroad-Pinion project in Nevada. The release in August of an eye-popping intersection from drilling on its North Dark Star deposit led the stock to rocket higher. A key component of the company's flagship Railroad-Pinion project along Nevada's Carlin Trend, North Dark Star hosts a higher-grade zone discovered last year by Hole 15-13. . .clearly, these are exciting results, and Gold Standard plans to follow up on them by devoting a greater portion of its 2016 drilling program at Railroad-Pinion to Dark Star. Finding high-grade gold at these widths (this near surface and in this part of the world) makes this company a legitimate takeout target. . .with these latest results, it's very likely that Gold Standard gets bought out by one of the majors already operating in Nevada, or by one that wants to finally get a toe-hold." read more >

	Byron King, Gold Speculator (9/20/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. CEO Jonathan Awde discussed efforts to develop a promising 'window' of gold-bearing acreage in the sweetest of sweet spots of Nevada's mighty Carlin Trend. This land position is second in size only to that of mining giant Barrick Gold. . .Gold Standard holds key acreage adjacent to existing mines owned by Newmont and along trend from Barrick. . .the company's Carlin focus places it in the cross hairs of future takeover activity, likely in the billion-dollar range. . .there's upside here as gold prices continue to ascend; maintain buy up to $3.25."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (9/14/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s Hole 16-21 yielded another good intersection and confirms up-dip extension at North Dark Star. . .hole 16-21 documented a thick, oxide intersectional of 56m at 1.83g/tAu, confirming an 85m up-dip extension (to the east) to hole 16-08 with 126m at 3.95g/tAu. This grade variability is typical of strong Carlin-type deposits and as pointed out in previous research notes - the very high grades strongly suggest GSV is drilling a large gold system."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (9/8/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced a strong hole from North Bullion, which is the northern-most target area at the Railroad-Pinion project. . .North Bullion is a collapse breccia gold deposit, which is one of the Carlin Trend's classic deposit types. These zones carry high gold grades and can be quite large. . .I like to see Gold Standard reporting results from multiple zones. . .reporting results from several zones reminds the market of all those opportunities. . .the market is definitely waiting for further results from Dark Star, which I’m sure are pending."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (9/1/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. rocketed higher earlier this month due to the release of an eye-popping intersection from drilling on its North Dark Star deposit. . .hole 16-08 from this year's program was drilled. . .and it managed to top that hole's impressive results, cutting an uber-long 126.2-meter interval of 3.95 g/t gold. . .clearly, these are exciting results, and Gold Standard plans to follow up on them by devoting a greater portion of its 2016 drilling program at RailroadPinion to Dark Star. Finding highgrade gold at these widths makes this company a legitimate takeout target."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (8/30/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported results for two diamond drill holes that tested its North Bullion deposit. . .An 11.2g/tAu over 8.5m intersection in hole R16-01 is important as it is a significant ~120m step-out hole and confirms a NW trend interpretation that management will now be able to test on a predictive basis, farther to the NW. . .North Bullion's emerging NW high grade trend highlights the multi-target potential of the large 18km long land package. . .We reiterate our Outperform Rating and C$4.10 target price."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (8/24/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. followed up its hot hole two weeks ago with a good hole last week, reporting 101 metres grading 1.5 g/t gold from the same approximate area. . .North Dark Star is shaping up as a promising gold oxide zone and this intercept extended the high-grade zone within it by 120 metres to the south, putting the defined high-grade strike at 220 metres. Importantly, the gold in this hole came in exactly the same stratigraphy as the hot hole to the north. . .Consistent mineralization in a thick section of carbonate rock is a good thing in the Carlin Trend."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Equity Research (8/18/16) "Recommendation: Buy Gold Standard Ventures Corp., and in our opinion, they have a tiger by the tail having documented high grade oxide & large thicknesses in the southern +100moz Carlin Trend. . .We have increased our target price to $4.10 (was $3.85), after GSV reported assays for two core drill holes, at its Dark Star North discovery, within its flagship 100% owned, Railroad/Pinion Project, Carlin Trend, Nevada . . .It is our view that the Railroad-Pinion gold project has Tier 1 (+20moz) potential and that such discoveries will attract M&A at the +$1bn market cap level."

	Mick Carew, Haywood Securities (8/18/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s North Dark Star gold project continues to demonstrate the potential to extend high-grade, oxidized gold mineralization. . .We note that the results from DS16-01 supports the interpretation that the geometry of gold mineralization at North Dark Star is a norht-south striking high-grade zone that is bound by the West fault and Dark star fault to the west and east respectively. . .We note that the deposit remains open along strike to the east of current drilling and well along strike to the north and south. We look forward to the results of additional drill holes that are designed to test the continuity of gold mineralization."

	Byron King, Gold Speculator (8/16/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has a remarkable land package in the heart of Nevada’s spectacular 'Carlin Trend.' . .Gold Standard is right along trend from what I call the 'Grand Canyon of Gold Mining.' . .I examined long sections of drill core, to include a recent, stunning success from a site called Dark Star (more like “Supernova” in terms of gold-bearing assay). . .Gold Standard is destined to be a moneymaker. Its Carlin-focused gold play places the company in the cross hairs of future takeover activity, likely in the billion-dollar range."

	The Gold Report Article by Michael Ballanger (8/15/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. recently reported an impressive intercept in Nevada. GSV is a company that I have followed for the past four years. . .GSV is a company that now MUST be owned because the Nevada behemoths like Newmont and Barrick will NEVER allow GSV into their turf." read more >

	The Gold Report Article by Chen Lin (8/11/16) "I like exploration companies that carefully navigated the downturn, keeping costs and dilution down. One of these companies that I own is Gold Standard Ventures Corp. Gold Standard Ventures has been a spectacular stock during this downturn. The management team put their heads down and consolidated the whole district. Gold Standard gained the support of Goldcorp and OceanaGold, the two most successful companies during this downturn, at premium to its share price. It also made a strategic investment in Battle Mountain Gold Inc., which was dead for many years because of its very high royalty rate. The company bought down the royalty to a reasonable level and is now ready to explore." read more >

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (8/10/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. welcomed a new major shareholder in Goldcorp who put $16 million into the company, a move that prompted existing shareholder Oceanagold to invest another $12.6 million to maintain its stake. . .Yesterday Gold Standard North Dark Star hole put out the news everyone was awaiting – and then some: 126 metres grading 3.95 g/t gold. . . .If you liked GSV in April, a seeming lack of drill results in June and July did not change the story. As such there was no reason to sell. . .Anyone who did is kicking him- or herself now."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (8/9/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. provided an exploration update for its flagship Railroad-Pinion project (Nevada, U.S.). . . The latest drill results were the first set of assays from its 2016 drill program, which consists of 43,000 metres of drilling with a budget of US$13.4M. . .Hole DS16-08 at North Dark Star, which was a 100m stepout hole from the discovery holes in late 2015, intersected an impressive 3.95 g/t gold over 126.2m. . .these are easily the best results that the company has ever encountered at the project."

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (8/9/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced additional drill results at its North Dark Star deposit; results included a significant high-grade drill intercept that we believe supports our previous belief that North Dark Star and Dark Star could connect at depth. . .DS16-08 intersected 126.2m grading 3.95 g/t gold beginning at a depth of 165.2m. Drill results of this grade and thickness have become increasingly less common over the last decade in Nevada, making it a significant discovery, in our view."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Equity Research (8/9/16) "Buy Gold Standard Ventures Corp.; we have increased our target to CA$3.00(was CA$2.00), following the announcement of thick-high grade gold oxide drill results expanding the North Dark Star deposit, 100m to the south, at GSV's 100% flagship Railroad-Pinion project, South Carlin Trend, Nevada. . .with multiple strategic investments (Goldcorp, OceanaGold), exceptional drill results that are expanding the raw North Dark Star discovery, we believe GSV is an attractive target and ultimately a Tier 1 asset opportunity that offers +20mozAu hunting grounds; we re-iterate our Outperform rating."

	Bob Moriarty, 321 Gold (8/9/16) "On August 9, 2016, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. released yet another barn burning drill hole at their North Dark Star deposit in Nevada in the Carlin Trend. They have done it so many times it's starting to get boring. . .Investors need to start moving to the really quality stocks. GSV is one of them. Everything I have said about them has been proven to be true and I'm proud of the fact that I "got" it a long time ago. This last drill hole was a home run. The Dark Star target will expand and one day soon a major will come around with a check in their hands. It had better have at least 9 zeros in it." read more >

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (7/17/16) "We are initiating coverage of Gold Standard Ventures Corp. . .GSV is poised to demonstrate significant resource growth at its flagship Railroad project and we believe that these results could drive a potential buyout of the company. . .GSV has already delineated 2.1 million ounces of oxide resource between Pinion and Dark Star and we believe this resource could grow significantly in the coming quarters. . .GSV's investments from Goldcorp and OceanaGold Corp. add additional credibility to the viability of the Railroad project and provide GSV with two potential acquirers."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (7/13/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced new metallurgical test results for its Pinion deposit at its flagship Railroad-Pinion project. . .given the fact that the project is being contemplated as an open-pit heap-leach operation, the recoveries from a larger grind size should be of greater importance to investors. The Company plans to move forward with column leach tests at Pinion and preliminary bottle roll tests at the Dark Star deposit in H216."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (7/7/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has increased its stake in Battle Mountain Gold to 15,722,152 shares by exercising all the 5,240,717 warrants it held in the company. . .the transaction allows Gold Standard to maintain a more-than-27% stake in Battle Mountain and to benefit from the upside of Lewis. . .with a major drilling program underway on the company's Railroad-Pinion project (also in Nevada), the company shouldn't lack for news flow over the next several months."

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (6/15/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. may have identified analogs to Dark Star via a recently completed geophysical program on the larger Dark Star Corridor. The company now has new drill targets to pursue on the property that bear strong structual similarities to the Dark Star discovery."

	The Gold Report Article by Gwen Preston (6/3/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. recently kicked off a 43,000m drill program in Nevada. . .the company ran the CSAMT survey over the Dark Star corridor, which hosts the North Dark Star discovery and the Dark Star resource. . .the CSAMT survey found what Gold Standard was seeking: a north-striking normal fault wherein Pennsylvanian-Permian rocks form the footwall against volcanic rocks to the east. . .approximately 450m to the west the survey identified another similar structure; it could represent another good target. Finally, the survey showed that the known normal fault in the Dark Star Corridor extends 700m farther along strike." read more >

Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (6/1/16) "I bought and recommended Gold Standard Ventures because of its impressive and underexplored land position in the Carlin Trend. . .I remain excited about what GSV might discover. If exploration goes at all according to plan, a takeout offer could materialize in short order. . .we are up 48% in less than two months. . .If you are new to the GSV story, I would take time establishing a position. Buy some now, but also put in stink bids to add to your position at lower costs if GSV slips."

Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (5/25/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced first results from its 2016 work program at the Railroad-Pinion project in Nevada. First to emerge from the effort were a series of new targets identified through a geophysical survey. . .the survey showed that the known normal fault in the Dark Star Corridor extends 700m farther along strike than known to the north, under cover. . .they are just geophysical targets, so take from it what you will; that being said, geophysics well interpreted can be the tool that uncovers new zones in the Carlin Trend."

	Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (5/25/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s 2015 exploration program produced resources of 423 Koz gold in Indicated and 1.02 Moz in Inferred at Pinion, in addition to another 375 Koz in Inferred at Dark Star. Given this success, gold majors Goldcorp and OceanaGold announced strategic investments in Gold Standard as the firm continues to uncover what we view as large potential. . .the strategic investments place Gold Standard in the envious position of having a fully stocked treasury—currently over $40M in cash and a plethora of additional targets to explore."

	Bob Moriarty, 321 Gold (5/18/16) "The technical team at Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is the best of any junior in Nevada, home of 75% of the US gold production. They know what Battle Mountain Gold has. . .GSV has picked up almost 20% of a great project belonging to a limping company. . .while Jonathan Awde has been moving his company constantly forward, the gnomes of Vancouver have moved the shares of Battle Mountain Gold from $.35 a month ago to $.64 now for an 83% gain in less than a month."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (4/20/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced it is putting CA$3.6M into Battle Mountain Gold (BMG) to take a 19.9% stake in the company. The investment will also give the company 5.1M BMG warrants exercisable at CA$0.37 each for two years. The move gives Gold Standard a toehold into BGM's Lewis gold project, which is on Nevada's Battle Mountain trend. Nevada is Gold Standard's area of expertise."

Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (4/6/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has one of the largest land positions in the Carlin Trend. . .it has lots of cash to fund its exploration efforts—$44M in the bank—and is putting $13.4M in the ground this year. . .a takeover is quite likely. . .the Carlin Trend has delivered some of the biggest gold discoveries ever. The chance to make another one is limited, given the amount of exploration the trend has seen, but Gold Standard's large and underexplored property offers precisely that possibility."

	Thibaut Lepouttre, Caesars Report (4/2/16) "Nevada once again was the subject of quite a bit of action on the exploration front in the past year and the one of the 'hottest' Nevada exploration plays of 2015 and Q1/16 was probably Gold Standard Ventures Corp. . .the company's Pinion and Dark Star zones are located within hiking distance from Newmont Mining's Emigrant gold mine. . .Gold Standard has completed an NI-43-101-compliant resource estimate containing approximately 2.1 Moz."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (4/1/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. released an updated resource estimate for its Pinion deposit that showed a substantial upgrade of existing inferred resources into indicated resources. . .perhaps more intriguing than the upgrade in the indicated resource is the fact that many of the holes drilled in 2015 on the Railroad-Pinion project as a whole indicate significant potential for further expansion. . .the Carlin Trend is home to some of the largest gold deposits in the world and with a significant amount of gold already outlined at Railroad-Pinion, Gold Standard Ventures has the money, the plan and the targets to add this project to this region’s many storied deposits."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (3/15/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced an updated resource estimate for Pinion, which is one of its two existing deposits at its flagship Railroad-Pinion project in Nevada. . .total resources have increased by close to 20%, to 1.7 Moz with an average grade of 0.57 g/t gold from its previous estimate of 1.4 Moz with an average grade of 0.59 g/t gold. . .the company's gold inventory is now over 2.0 Moz and remains on track to achieve our estimate of 2.5–3.0 Moz for the overall project. . .our new target price is CA$1.50/share (was CA$1.30/share)."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (2/25/16) "The recent capital injections are a strong endorsement of the potential the smart money sees in Gold Standard Venture Corp.'s flagship Railroad-Pinion gold project. I've kept the company on our list through the downturn in gold because I continue to think Railroad-Pinion's potential is massive; judging from the aggressive drilling program it has slated for the project in 2016, management also believes strongly in that potential."

	The Gold Report Interview with Joe Mazumdar (2/25/16) "Goldcorp recently invested in Gold Standard Ventures Corp., which has one of the largest land packages in Nevada not owned by a major. Then OceanaGold, which already owned a chunk of the company, raised its stake to 19.9%. It's unusual to see two companies vying for part of the same exploration play. This renewed interest in exploration is good for the market as a whole. . .it's the jurisdiction (Nevada) and the size of the land package that made it attractive to these two companies. Other than Barrick and Newmont Mining, no company has that size of a land package in Nevada. Gold Standard Ventures is considered to be a good vehicle for a major company to get leverage to a Nevada footprint." read more >

	Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (2/24/16) "On Feb. 23, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced its 2016 exploration program. The $13.4M program is expected to total 43,000m of reverse-circulation drilling across 100 holes, with the majority of the drilling focusing on the Dark Star and Pinion deposits. That being said, the program is fully funded, as the company currently has a strong balance sheet with over CA$40M cash and no debt. . .in our view, strong interest from two major gold producers not only bolsters Gold Standard's balance sheet, allowing for exploration work, but also serves as a vote of confidence."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (2/8/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has announced that OceanaGold will exercise its right to further increase its ownership in the company to 19.9%. . .this is in response to Goldcorp's $16.1M investment (at $1/share) in it on Feb. 1, 2016, which represented an initial 9.9% interest. . .this bodes well for the investors of Gold Standard as this may lead to a bidding war for it down the road."

	Thibaut Lepouttre of Caesars Report for Streetwise Reports (2/4/16) "Not only was Nevada-focused gold explorer Gold Standard Ventures Corp. able to attract CA$16.1M in new funding, Goldcorp's placement was also conducted at a premium to the market price (16% above the 20 day Volume Weighted Average Price [VWAP]) and allowed Goldcorp to initiate a relatively large stake in Gold Standard. I would like to take a moment to explain the importance of not just being able to raise cash at a premium, but raising it from one of the industry's most respected companies. Goldcorp usually has a conservative investment approach and the company most definitely isn't acquiring stakes in companies on a daily basis. In fact, Goldcorp has been selling some non-core assets in the recent past, but now seems to be in buying mode again. . .with a mid-tier and a senior gold producer having taken strategic stakes in Gold Standard Ventures in the past few quarters, the project continues to be derisked and Gold Standard Ventures now has ample cash to drill quite a lot of meters. Gold Standard has spent years putting together the second largest continuous land package in the Carlin Trend after Newmont Mining, which sets up the possibility for a meaningful size discovery. . .2016 will be a very important year for Gold Standard as a new large drill program will increase the company's understanding of the mineralized zone. And even after drilling 40,000–50,000 meters, Gold Standard should still end the year with in excess of CA$15M in the treasury (assuming OceanaGold does not exercise its anti-dilution rights), which makes this company stand out from the crowd." read more >

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (2/3/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s flagship project is Railroad-Pinion, a large Carlin Trend property with three defined deposits. It's a land package that was splintered for years, which stymied systematic exploration. . .all three deposits remain open for expansion, and the property offers a good number of other targets. And now the company has a refilled bank account to expand those deposits and test those targets, following a CA$16.1M buy-in by Goldcorp. . .altogether, 2015 was a very successful year for Gold Standard—and apparently Goldcorp thought so too."

	Chen Lin, What Is Chen Buying? What Is Chen Selling? (2/2/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. received an investment from Goldcorp; this is probably the most successful gold exploration company during this downturn. It received investments from OceanaGold and Goldcorp, two of the most successful gold miners; this tells you how good its assets are."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (1/21/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has been bucking the broader market in recent months, as excitement mounts over the drill results coming in from its Railroad-Pinion project. . .which suggest it may hold the trend's next elephant-sized gold deposit. . .with three significant gold deposits and one of the largest land positions along the Carlin Trend, Railroad-Pinion is a target-rich environment with a lot of exploration upside still left. The company's stock remains a Buy."

Haywood Securities (1/21/16) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has successfully consolidated a highly prospective gold exploration portfolio along the southeast end of Nevada's extremely prolific Carlin Trend. The consolidation has allowed the company to discover and delineate a number of gold deposits within this land package, including the North Bullion sulfide gold project discovered in 2010 and the Pinion and Dark Star oxide gold projects, located approximately 10km to the south of North Bullion. . .Gold Standard has successfully defined NI-43-101-compliant resources for both Pinion and Dark Star. . .drill results are expected from Dark Star and Pinion over the coming weeks."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (1/21/16) "We are initiating coverage of Gold Standard Ventures Corp. with a Buy recommendation, a target price of CA$1.00/share and a risk rating of Speculative. We believe the stock offers an opportunity to invest in an aggressive gold exploration and development company that is quickly advancing what we believe will be a technically simple and economically viable gold project into production. In addition, the company's flagship asset is located in Nevada, which is considered one of the most pro-mining jurisdictions globally. Gold Standard's management team has very successfully added value to the project through land consolidation, initial resource estimation, and resource expansion."

	Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (1/20/16) "Gold Standard Ventures is a well-funded exploration company. . .its land package constitutes the second largest land package within the highly coveted Carlin trend of Northern Nevada, which has grown over the past five years from 2,555 ha originally to 11,555 ha."

	Bob Moriarty, 321 Gold (12/23/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has one of the largest untested pieces left in the Carlin Trend. While it has spent the last five years looking for another Carlin elephant, slowly it has been adding ounces in a near-surface oxide district that will be a mine. . .the company has already begun to recover. It was $0.69/share when I wrote about it a month ago just after they announced their latest drill results. The company is up 30% in the last month. I expect it to continue to be among the leaders in the next bull phase if we have hit a bottom or not."

How Investors at the California Capital Conference Picked the Next Top Small-Cap Companies (12/7/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp., an advanced-stage gold exploration company focused on district-scale discoveries on the Railroad-Pinion gold project in Nevada's Carlin Trend. The company brought with it news of new gold intersects north of the Dark Star Gold deposit that, according to management, 'confirm discovery of a substantial new, higher-grade oxide deposit.'" read more >

	Bob Moriarty, 321 Gold (11/18/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is well cashed up and continues to expand the district; in any rational market the shares would be a substantial multiple of where they are today. On Nov. 4 of this year, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. released what might be considered obscene results, 149.4m of 1.38 g/t gold 540m north of the initial 375,000 Inferred resource at Dark Star. . .a week later, it released another blistering set of results, an even more impressive 157m of 1.51 g/t gold."

	Ryan Walker, Euro Pacific Canada (11/16/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. returned another long mineralized interval from the 100%-owned Railroad-Pinion project in Nevada's Carlin trend. Hole DS15-11, collared ~515m north of the Dark Star maiden resource, cut an oxidized zone of 157m (from 103.7m down hole) grading 1.51 g/t Au, including several higher-grade sections, including 21.3m (105.2m) at 3.17 g/t."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (11/13/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. hit a long intersection in drilling on its Railroad-Pinion project. . .hole 11 hit an impressive 157m of 1.51 g/t gold. . .a great bet on discovery with a downside protected by ounces in the ground, the company looks like an excellent value right now. It's a Buy."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (11/11/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. added to the good drill news from its Dark Star oxide gold deposit in Nevada with another solid hole: 157m grading 1.51 g/t gold. . .an 80-hole drill program is underway, designed to expand and upgrade the resource. Expansion now looks pretty darn likely. . .it looks like the company has tapped into a new, blind oxide gold zone."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (11/11/15) "We are increasing our target to $2 (was $1.75) and recommend buying Gold Standard Ventures Corp. for exposure to its top-notch Carlin trend exploration play that has multiple permissive targets and an outstanding technical team. . .yesterday, before market open, followup drilling documented oxide mineralization 157m at 1.51g/t Au, the highest grade and longest intersection within the Dark Star corridor."

	Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (11/11/15) "On Nov. 10, 2015, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced drilling results for its wholly owned Railroad-Pinion project. Notably, two drill holes appear to have uncovered a new gold zone approximately 515m to the north of the mineralization outlined in the initial Dark Star resource estimate. . .we believe the significance of these holes should not go unnoticed."

	Brent Cook, Exploration Insights (11/11/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. released assays from its second reverse circulation drill hole into the north of the Dark Star discovery on its Railroad-Pinion property. . .these are indeed impressive drill holes. . .yesterday the company released DS15-11, which intersected 157m grading 1.51 g/t gold, beginning at a drill depth of 103m. DS15-11 was drilled parallel to and about 60m above DS15-10."

	Mick Carew, Haywood Securities (11/4/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. released drill assay results from its Dark Star oxide gold deposit on its 100%-owned and controlled Railway-Pinion project in Nevada's Carlin trend. Four of the five drill holes returned gold assays above the cut-off grade of the NI-43-101-compliant resource estimate completed by APEX Geosciences and released March 3, 2015. . .highlighting the expansion potential of the Dark Star deposit along the 6km structural corridor to the north of the currently defined resource. Most importantly, the results from hole DS15-10 returned gold grades that are several orders of magnitude higher than previous drill results from Dark Star."

	Gwen Preston, Resource Maven (11/4/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced a healthy intercept of oxide gold mineralization from the Railroad-Pinion project. Specifically, hole DS15-10 returned 149.4m grading 1.38 g/t gold. All told, four of five holes testing the Dark Star structural corridor returned notable gold intercepts. . .the intercept in hole DS15-10 suggests a new zone that is thicker and significantly higher grade than anything previously drilled at Dark Star. . .the company had been planning to update its preliminary economic assessment, but those plans are now on hold until it gets a better hold of these new areas."

	The Gold Report Interview with Chen Lin (11/2/15) "OceanaGold put in money to acquire 14.9% of Gold Standard Ventures Corp. at a premium to the share price and it is still buying Gold Standard Ventures stock on the open market. That's a typical sign, the interest of a major company in a junior. . .Gold Standard Ventures is currently drilling the south part of the deposit. Drillers already found a deep sulphide-based gold deposit on the north side. It's wide open space. There are lots of possibilities. Management now has a lot of capital to do exploration thanks to the recent investment from OceanaGold. That makes it an attractive takeover target." read more >

Haywood Securities (10/13/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has successfully consolidated a highly prospective gold exploration portfolio along the southeast end of Nevada's extremely prolific Carlin Trend. . .allowing the company to discover and delineate a number of gold deposits within this land package, including the North Bullion sulfide gold project discovered in 2010 and the Pinion and Dark Star oxide gold projects located approximately 10km to the south of North Bullion. . .near-term catalysts include metallurgical testing of samples from Pinion and Dark Star, results of which are expected in approximately three months."

	Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (10/1/15) "On Sept. 30, 2015, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced an expansion to its 2015 drilling program. . .under the expanded program, the firm is expected to focus on drilling at the North Bullion deposit, with drilling commencing in October. . .we are reiterating our Buy rating."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (9/11/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has begun a phase 2 drilling program on Pinion and Dark Star. . .consisting of up to 8,600m, the program will include 10 holes offsetting hole 2 (24.4m 1.38 g/t gold) on the South Fault zone at Pinion and three holes on the Sentinel target. . .on the Dark Star target, the company will drill up to 11 holes to extend the mineralization to the north of hole 3 (32m 0.58 g/t gold and 21.3m 1.9 g/t gold) and two holes to probe the intersection of the South and Dark Star faults."

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (8/27/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has begun a phase 2 drill program on Pinion and Dark Star in Nevada. . .although it hasn't quite hit one yet, there's no doubt the company has its sights set on an elephant-sized deposit in this area. Given the number of multimillion-ounce gold mines that have been discovered along the Carlin Trend, its hope is well justified, particularly given the data that's already come back from previous drilling. We'll watch this program at Pinion and Dark Star eagerly."

The Gold Report Interview with Brien Lundin (8/27/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is a smart money play. The people behind the company have a lot of experience in Nevada and have demonstrated their confidence by buying the stock. The company recently took on the Pinion gold project, and it is moving that toward development, which was a wonderful move. This company is destined to go far in the next metals rebound." read more >

Haywood Securities (8/21/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced the results of metallurgical test work conducted on samples from the Pinion oxide gold deposit. . .cyanide solubility test work returned an average recovery rate of 82.4% from oxidized multilithic dissolution collapse brecchia, interpreted to be the main host for gold mineralization at Pinion. Cyanide-soluble silver assays averaged 45.7%."

Haywood Securities (7/31/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced drill assay results from its 2015 phase 1 drilling program at its Railway-Pinion project. . .a total of 13 of 14 holes intersected both oxidized and sulphide-bearing mineralization peripheral to the margins of the Pinion (8 holes) resource. . .and the Dark Star resource. . .the latest drill results from the company suggest significant expansion potential for both the Pinion and Dark Star oxide-sulphide resources."

	Heiko Ihle, Rodman & Renshaw (7/13/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s Railroad-Pinion project is located in close proximity to various producing and development stage mines, which we believe positions Gold Standard as a strong candidate for an eventual takeover. We are assuming coverage of the company with a Buy rating and a $1.20/share price target."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (6/26/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has commenced reverse circulation drilling at Railroad-Pinion, the company's 100%-owned gold project. Located along the prolific Carlin Trend in Nevada, Railroad-Pinion continues to have district-scale potential. . .the Pinion deposit is already known to host 423 Koz Indicated gold resource and 1.02 Moz Inferred gold."

	The Gold Report Interview with Geordie Mark (6/18/15) "OceanaGold wanted to consolidate its presence in the Americas, and in particular within one of North America's primary gold-producing states, Nevada. To that end, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has a significant footprint in that state, and defined some very intriguing systems at the Railroad-Pinion gold project in the Carlin Trend. OceanaGold's technical team likes the potential of the holdings that Gold Standard has put together in that state over the last several years." read more >

	Heiko Ihle, H.C. Wainwright & Co. (6/16/15) "We are assuming coverage of Gold Standard Ventures Corp. with a Buy rating and a $1.20/share price target. . .initial test results at Railroad-Pinion are, in our opinion, indicative of a deposit that could be processed utilizing a simple cyanide heap-leach operation. . .we expect resources to continue to increase at Railroad-Pinion."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (6/1/15) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has closed its deal with OceanaGold Corp., whereby OceanaGold has agreed to buy 24,997,661 common shares of Gold Standard for CA$16,248,480 gross proceeds. . .the influx of cash is much needed if the company wants to continue its hunt for elephant sized gold deposits in Nevada. Railroad-Pinion is still a high-potential project, one that could yet pay huge dividends for shareholders."
