(TSXV: GSTM) (FSE: B2U) (\"Goldstorm\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to report that a diamond drill program has commenced (the \"Program\") on its 100% owned Electrum gold and silver property (the \"Property\"), located within the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. The Program at Electrum will total approximately 3,000 meters (m) over 7 to 9 drill holes targeting high-grade gold and silver intervals reported from previous drill programs by other operators. In prior programs, several of the drill-tested targets returned high-grade results, including 31.40 g/t gold and 19.0 g/t silver over 2.0 m and 440.8 g/t gold and 400.0 g/t silver over 0.52 m. Drill targets will also include areas of gold-bearing surface samples collected by Goldstorm over the past year within the historical East Gold Mine area, where intermittent small-scale, underground production between 1939 and 1965 produced 3,816 ounces of gold and 2,442 ounces of silver from 45 tons of hand selected ore. Sampling and mapping by Tudor Gold Corp. in 2020 further support this prospective target, as a verification chip sample taken within this area returned values of 101.60 g/t gold and 20,334.0 g/t silver.

We have set-up the camp at the former Granduc mill-site and we thank our good friends at both Castle Resources Inc. and Scottie Resources Corp. for sharing this facility with Goldstorm Metals Corp. Two diamond drills have been mobilized to the Electrum project. One fly drill will concentrate on the peripheral intrusive-related, or porphyry-style targets, while a track-mounted drill will be set up on the numerous high-grade structurally-hosted targets near the main showings. Currently, only the fly drill is operating while we prepare sites for the track-mounted drill. We anticipate alternating the same drill crew between the fly drill and the track-mounted drill so that we can receive and assess the results from the first hole at the porphyry-style target before planning more holes at that site. One huge advantage that this program ...
