Gold Standard Ventures Corp. announced assay results of seven reverse-circulation (RC) holes from the Pinion Phase 2 drilling program at its 100%-owned Railroad-Pinion Project in Nevada's Carlin Trend. All seven returned significant intercepts with gold values well above the cut-off grade of 0.14 g Au/t established by APEX Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, Canada in its NI 43-101 resource estimate announced on September 10, 2014.

Results include five intercepts grading above one gram per tonne as well as a thicker zone of 108.2 meters of 0.58 grams per tonne (g Au/t). Phase 2 drilling was designed to extend areas of known shallow oxide gold mineralization along strike and at depth, and to test new targets identified by the Phase 1 program. Phase 2 totaled 10,893m of RC drilling in 44 holes.
