Expert Comments:

Deep Drilling Hits Thick Oxide Gold Intervals at Nevada Deposit (10/17/18)

This Canadian company released the results from two more drill holes.

This discovery further expands the Canadian company's pipeline of exploration opportunities in the Railroad District.

Company says the results confirm oxide gold potential well below the depth of the current resource model.

The gold explorer and developer announced that three new exploration targets will be drill tested.

Up to 5,121,950 common shares are to be placed, with gross proceeds of up to CA$10.5 million.

The company noted that two holes in northern portion of the project intersected "impressive grades and thickness."

The results confirm continuity to mineralization and resource expansion potential.

Drill results at the Dark Star deposit of the Railroad-Pinion Project in Nevada's Carlin Trend have exceeded expectations, the company announced.

Bhakti Pavani, Alliance Global Partners (8/3/18)

"On July 26, 2018, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported drilling results from 27 reverse circulation holes and one core hole completed at Jasperoid Wash. . .while all 28 drill holes have intersected mineralization, four drill holes in particular have intersected high-grade gold averaging ~1 g/t gold. . .initial results from the phase 1 drill program seem encouraging."

Miner Delineates Gold Zone at 'High-Priority Target' in Nevada (7/27/18)

A miner reports that results from the first phase of drilling on a key target delineate a near-surface, oxide gold zone.

This Vancouver-based company hits high-grade oxide gold at Carlin Trend project in Nevada.

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (7/1/18)

"The highlight hole from the most recent batch of assays from Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s Dixie was hole 6, which cut 67.1m of 1.05 g/t gold. . .with key geologic features that appear for 2,000m along strike, Dixie has the potential to add another chapter to the growing story at Railroad-Pinion."

Bhakti Pavani, Euro Pacific Capital (6/27/18)

"We are initiating coverage on Gold Standard Ventures Corp. with a Buy rating and price target of $1.80. . .the company's land package in the Carlin trend offers significant exploration potential. . .Gold Standard's 2018 drilling program could help expand the mineral resource estimate."

Coverage Initiated on Company That Defined 'Gold Standard of Exploration Success' (6/16/18)

A BMO Capital Markets report laid out the investment thesis for this Nevada explorer.

Drilling at seven holes in the Dixie site may point to a new geological interpretation.

Andrew Mikitchook, BMO Capital Markets (6/8/18)

"Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s exploration success combined with a proven technical exploration team in one of the top mining jurisdictions and in proximity to substantial Barrick and Newmont mines suggests potential for an eventual takeover. We are initiating coverage with an Outperform Speculative rating and a $3 target based on a conceptual-stage mine development plan and our expectation for exploration upside."

Byron King, Gold Speculator (5/15/18)

"I expect to see things happen with Gold Standard Ventures Corp. as summer unfolds; the company has six rigs drilling on its Carlin trend acreage in Nevada. . .there's little doubt that Gold Standard is sitting atop a fabulous ore body. Right now, it is takeover bait, pure and simple."

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (5/1/18)

"Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is in the midst of a $25.8M exploration program on its Railroad-Pinion project. . .the Dark Star and Pinion deposits will receive around 40,800m of the drilling in 296 holes. . .with many results from the infill drilling on Dark Star and Pinion outperforming initial resource estimates for these deposits, the opportunity for Railroad-Pinion to grow via the drill bit is substantial."

RBC Capital Markets (3/26/18) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s 2018 exploration program is budgeted at 74,800m of drilling with 296 infill holes (40,800m) and 85 exploration holes (34,000m). . .a preliminary economic assessment is evaluating the Dark Star-Pinion deposits as an open-pit, heap-leach operation with potential to add a high-pressure grinding roll."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (3/1/18) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. recently closed on a private placement to raise CA$38M for its Railroad-Pinion project. . .the investment is a strong endorsement of the potential the smart money sees in Railroad-Pinion. Between this endorsement and the company's recently announced $25.8M work program on the project, Gold Standard looks like a good value at current levels and is a Buy."

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (2/26/18) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced a $25.8M exploration and development plan for its Railroad-Pinion project in Nevada. We are most encouraged by the company's plan to release an initial PEA on the project in H2/18 and we believe there should be a steady stream of catalysts between now and the release of the PEA."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (2/23/18) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced the closing of its previously announced equity financing on Feb. 22, 2018. The company raised an aggregate of $38.2M. . .the proceeds of the financing are to fund Gold Standard's 2018 exploration program at its flagship Railroad-Pinion project (which will be announced shortly) and for general working capital purposes."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (2/1/18) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. released some intriguing assays from three holes drilled on the recently acquired Jasperoid wash claims. . .hole 4 cut 54.9m of 0.89 g/t gold, hole 10 intersected 77.7m of 0.48 g/t gold and 30.5m of 0.31 g/t gold. . .these are long intersections with decent grades. Collectively, they suggest that the company may be onto another deposit at Railroad."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (1/25/18) "Highlights from Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s latest drill results, from Dark Star, include: hole DS17-35 which intersected 2.96 g/t gold over 237.8m and hole DS17-37 which intersected 3.32 g/t gold over 141.8m. . .the best drill results ever achieved at the property in terms of both grades and thicknesses. . .it is becoming very clear that the Dark Star deposit will be the starter pit for the open-pit, heap-leach project."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (1/11/18) "Gold Standard Venture Corp.'s latest drill results from its flagship Railroad-Pinion project are from the Jasperoid Wash target. . .hole JW17-04 intersected 0.89 g/t gold over 54.9m. . .we remain impressed by the project's exploration potential as further discoveries such as Jasperoid Wash will only add to the company's current gold inventory which already sits at an impressive 3.6 Moz."

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (11/29/17) "We still believe Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is undervalued and as such, we are maintaining our Buy rating. . .we believe 2018 will be a more eventful year as the company looks to complete an initial economic study and move the Railroad project into permitting."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (11/7/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced new drill results from its flagship Railroad-Pinion project. . .highlights from the exploration drilling include: hole DS17-21, 1.24 g/t gold over 13.7m and hole DS17-23, 1.41 g/t gold over 12.2m. . .the exploration results demonstrate that the Dark Star deposit remains open to the north, east and west."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Equity Research (10/6/17) "Jasperoid Wash is a very significant new target in our view. . .it is strategic as it not only expanded the land position to the south but it also covers very prospective Penn-Perm debris flow carbonate breccias that are host to oxide gold mineralization elsewhere on the property (Dark Star Corridor). . .Drill results incrementally expand Dark Star & Dixie and confirm along oxide intersection at Jasperoid Wash. . .we think Gold Standard Ventures Corp. is on to a very attractive target at Jasperoid Wash as it has many of the favourable elements we like to see in the Carlin Trend deposits."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (10/5/17) "Gold Standard Ventures reported results from 24 exploration holes from its ongoing 2017 program consisting of a US$15.5M budget and 48,800 metres of drilling. . .Gold Standard will be expanding the drill rig count from 4 to 7 rigs, with most of the drilling focused at Dark Star, Jasperoid Wash and Dixie. . .We view this exploration update favorably as the Company continues to extend the mineralization at Dark Star as well as uncover new gold mineralization elsewhere on the property (Dixie and Jasperoid)thus demonstrating its outstanding exploration potential.We are maintaining our BUY recommendation and SPECULATIVE risk rating."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (9/25/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced new metallurgical results from its Dark Star deposit. . .gold recoveries for oxide and transitional in the coarse -10 mesh, bottle rolls of material ranged from 60–98%, with an average gold recovery of 88%. In the finer -200 mesh, bottle rolls gold recovery ranged from 75–98%, with an average gold recovery of 91%. . .these results are better than the previously announced results at the Pinion deposit."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (6/29/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced a resource update for its Dark Star deposit. . .total resources at Dark Star have increased from 375 Koz (at 0.51 g/t gold) to 981 Koz (at 0.94 g/t gold), which represents an 85% increase in grades and 162% increase in overall ounces. . .mineralization still remains open in a number of directions."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (6/29/17) "[It's a] good start/initial resource for Gold Standard Ventures Corp.'s Dark Star oxide complex with 980 Koz Au in resources, broken down as 265 Koz at 0.5 g/t Au for Main Dark Star and 715 Koz Au at 1.3 g/t Au for North Dark Star. . .the company plans +12 km drilling in 2017 and has just received drill permits."

Haywood Securities (6/16/17) "This week, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced the completion of a previously announced acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Battle Mountain. . .effective June 14, 2017, Battle Mountain common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange, as it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Standard."

	Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (6/1/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has begun its previously announced drill program on the Railroad-Pinion project's Dark Star and North Bullion deposits. The $15.5M program will feature up to 48,800m of drilling in 117 holes. . .I'm excited about this program, as it is both aggressive and targeted to areas with significant potential to grow the overall project's resource base."

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (5/1/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. has been busy over the past month, growing its project base through acquisition, adding to its land position along the Carlin trend and announcing revised assay information on its Dark Star deposit. . .the company is well-cashed and well-positioned for growth through exploration in a rising gold market."

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (4/12/17) "On April 12, 2017, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced it had reached an agreement to acquire Battle Mountain for a combination of cash and stock. We believe Gold Standard views the asset as a strategic second exploration asset. . .we are maintaining our Buy rating."

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (4/12/17) "This morning, before market open, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced a friendly shares and cash bid for Battle Mountain Gold specifically for its 100%-owned, 2225 ha Lewis project. . .with today's acquisition of Battle Mountain Gold, the company enhanced its Nevada portfolio further, with a second project, on trend to +50 Moz in the prolific Battle Mountain trend."

Brian Szeto, PI Financial (4/12/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced the acquisition of Battle Mountain Gold Inc. . .we view the transaction positively as Gold Standard now has two projects located in two of Nevada's most prolific gold trends (the Carlin trend and the Battle Mountain trend). In addition, it now also has two projects that are directly adjacent to two of Newmont's operating mines in Nevada (Phoenix and Emigrant/Rain) thus increasing the likelihood of Gold Standard being a takeout candidate itself down the road."

	Byron King, Gold Speculator (4/11/17) "Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported good metallurgical results from the first comprehensive test work that's designed to determine the recovery potential for gold at the Dark Star oxide gold deposit. . .cyanide-soluble recoveries averaged over 88% in the Main Dark Star oxide zone and over 89% in the North Dark Star oxide zone. These results indicate this material is likely to support heap-leach processing, which is a critical factor to potential suitors."

	Joe Reagor, ROTH Capital Partners (4/10/17) "On April 10, 2017, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced results for metallurgical recovery test work on its Dark Star deposit. Results were better than expected and should enable the company to move toward an initial PEA on the combined Pinion and Dark Star projects; thus, we are reiterating our Buy rating."

	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.
