Gold Standard Ventures Corp. reported today that hole RR11-16 has intersected 185 feet of 0.124 opt of gold (56.4 meters of 4.26 grams/Tonne). Drill hole RR11-16 is being drilled at an angle of -70 degrees eastward into a north-south-trending target within the North Bullion Fault Zone. The mineralized zone appears to be flat-lying which indicates that these intercepts are likely to approximate true width. Additional drilling is required to define the orientation and thickness of the mineralized zone.
