Golden Sky Minerals Corp. announced the results from the 2023 geochemical sampling and prospecting program conducted on its 35,000-hectare Rayfield Property in southern British Columbia. The program included the collection of 685 B-horizon soil samples and 77 rock samples.

The main soil grid was designed to infill and extend geochemical anomalies previously identified over the Semlin Target zone. The soil program was successful at further expanding the geochemical anomaly to 1.7 x 0.9 km. This anomaly flanks and overlies an area with known bedrock-hosted disseminated and veinlet-style copper (Cu) and gold (Au) mineralization.

Rock sample C00064614 (2022) was of a 4 cm-wide sulphide-rich vein that assayed 55 ppb Au and 0.2% Cu). The soil anomaly hosts elevated values of copper (Cu) ? gold (Au) ?

zinc (Zn) ? arsenic (As) and remains open to the northwest and northeast. As a follow-up to these encouraging results, a drill permit has been applied for, which will include the Gnome and Semlin target zones.

Extending known bedrock mineralization was a priority at the Rayfield Target Zone for 2023, as soil sampling in 2022 highlighted several anomalous copper values associated with geophysical anomalies identified by an airborne total magnetic geophysical survey (Geological Survey of Canada, 2006). Rock samples from these areas returned several anomalous values, up to 6,319 ppm (0.63%) Cu and 245.5 ppb Au (Sample 118884). Importantly, fieldwork also observed a continuation of dense sheeted and stockwork quartz veining that closely correlates with a magnetic low (Geological Survey of Canada, 2006) feature that extends approx.

2.0 km in a northwest orientation. This magnetic low is also coincident with elevated values of pathfinder elements (Mn, Zn, V, Ba) that are commonly associated with sericite/propylitic alteration bounding the core of porphyry systems and causing magnetite destruction. Prospecting across the property identified several other zones of interest, as approximately 40% of the rock samples assayed >100 ppm Cu.

These results continue to demonstrate the potential for additional porphyry-related mineralization across the property. The Rayfield property is located in the Quesnel Trough, British Columbia?s primary copper-producing belt, which hosts Teck Resources? Highland Valley Mine, Imperial Metals?

Mount Polley Mine, Centerra Gold?s Mount Milligan Mine, and Kodiak Copper?s MPD Project. The Rayfield copper-gold project is located approximately 20 kilometers east of the town of 70 Mile House, British Columbia, and is accessible year-round by well-maintained service and logging roads extending from BC Highway 97.
