As of March 31, 2022, Gold Bull had 9,825,000 options open with an average price of C$0.36, which if fully exercised would add $3.54 million to the treasury. Also at March 31, 2022, there were 38,226,025 warrants with an average price of C$0.46, which if fully exercised would result in an additional C$17.2 million into the company’s treasury.

The latest resource numbers from the company’s Sandman Project are broken down on your right. This resource increased by 60% from 2007. It will likely grow more with the 2022 drill program, which is 80% complete.

With COVID winding down (hopefully), in-person events are starting to take place again. And last weekend’s attendance at the Metals Investor Forum (MIF) revealed once again the importance of reestablishing human contact rather than relying on behind-the-camera communications. At the MIF I met up with Cherie Leeden, CEO of the company. Cherie is an Australian geologist who has had some serious positions with large mining firms in the past, but she ended up in Nevada thanks to the restrictive COVID policies in Australia. Although she is an Australian citizen, the Australian government would not let her back in the country during that government’s hyper-fearful response to COVID.

What I like most about this story is the big-picture approach the company is taking in an effort to find the feeder zones to some very encouraging gold mineralization, like in this cross section of the company’s Sandman Project in Nevada where the existing resource hosted. In fact, as Cherie was introducing this story to me at the MIF, what immediately came to mind was the approach Quinton Hennigh takes when choosing to get involved in a project. So, I sent the following message to Quinton regarding the Sandman: “Sandman looks very interesting for this penny play. Seems they think system wide.” To which he replied: “Very true. This is what the project needs. Cherie has the right view of the system and the right team. Including John Wood, discoverer of the Sleeper Deposit.”

John Woods, who is the discoverer of the 5- million-ounce Sleeper Mine in northwestern Nevada just 23 km north of Gold Bull’s Sandman Project, has said the following: “The size of the Sandman surface gold anomaly, at least 15 km in length, and the apparent elevation control of the gold deposits and adularia “cap” rocks are direct indicators that a very large goldbearing hydrothermal system was active at Sandman. At the Sleeper Deposit and regionally at other deposits, bonanza-grade gold often occurs at the pre-Tertiary contact where gold-bearing fluids depressurize quickly and deposit high-grade gold. This horizon is not well tested at Sandman and offers an opportunity to target bonanza-grade structures, essentially feeder zones, to the known deposits. The target here is for relatively small but very high-grade structures like the Sleeper Vein, and at this stage, could reflect multimillionounce potential.”

With only 1.7% of drill holes to date deeper than 250 meters, John Woods has also said that the most compelling exploration targets remain untested. The targets are high-grade epithermal deposits. The newly identified target is located on the contact of the tertiary volcanic rocks and the basement rocks. The company is authorized for 2 km2 (500 acres) of surface disturbance under the company’s plan of arrangement.

BIG BALDS PROJECT

Gold Bull owns 100% of the Big Balds Project, a gold exploration target located approximately 120 km south of Elko, Nevada, and 10 km west of the 5.5-million-ounce Bald Mountain Mine operated by Kinross.

The initial project is comprised of 210 lode mining claims on BLM tenure and is located within White Pine County, Nevada, USA. The company has identified three priority targets identified under cover by geophysics. The three projects are the Bald Eagle, Bald Badger, and Bald Cougar. They will form the core of the company’s drill-ready exploration program. A surface geochemical sampling program and a ground magnetics survey have recently been completed, with the aim of determining depth of targets.

These targets lie on the structural intersection of the Carlin Trend and the Bida Trend. Management envisions the potential to host three different styles of mineralization, those being (1) sediment hosted Carlin-style gold mineralization; (2) Au-Ag-base metal skarn and/or porphyry; and (3) intrusive related gold like that at the Bald Mountain Mine.

While clearly the Sandman Project is on the front burner, the buried prospects on the Balds Project offer early exploration potential with Gold Bull’s management team taking charge.

The Bottom Line

The rationale for adding Gold Bull for coverage in this letter is very simple. It has a real shot at finding a monster gold deposit and I believe it has the vision, technical talent, and well-rounded Management to make it happen. As always there are no guarantees in exploration. But with over 500,000 ounces already identified on the Sandman Project, and likely to grow with 2022 drill results, I believe the downside is limited for investors who buy these shares at current price levels, discounted 75% from their 52-week highs. If successful in the hunt for the structures through which gold mineralization fed the near surface gold mineralization as shown on page 4, these shares could be expected to rise many times higher from current share price levels. Of course, as with any small cap stocks like Gold Bull, investors should be prepared to hold for a protracted period of time and also be aware that illiquidity is frequently a feature to be aware of.
