Great Basin Gold Secures Listing with Symbol 'GBN' on the American Stock Exchange
Tuesday July 8, 9:32 am ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 2003--Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Great Basin Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture: GBG - News; AMEX: GBN - News), is pleased to announce that Great Basin has received formal approval to list its common shares on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"). AMEX has advised that this approval is contingent upon Great Basin being in compliance with all applicable listing standards on the date it begins trading on the Exchange, and may be rescinded if the Company is not in compliance with such standards. Effective July 14, 2003, common shares of Great Basin will be listed for trading on the "AMEX" under the symbol "GBN". The Company will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "GBG".
"The Management and Board of Directors of Great Basin are pleased to have secured a listing on the American Stock Exchange," said Mr. Thiessen. "The AMEX listing will provide the many interested investors in the United States with greater transparency, and more convenient and readily accessible trading opportunities. We also see the move to AMEX as another milestone, as the Company's evolves from a successful exploration firm to a mid-tier gold producer."

Great Basin's evolution was initiated in North America's premier gold producing environment -- the Carlin Trend of Nevada -- where the Company discovered high-grade gold-silver vein systems on its Ivanhoe Gold Property. Through an agreement with Hecla Mining Company, these high-grade veins are being advanced through the underground exploration, development and production stages.

In the fall of 2002 Great Basin agreed to purchase Southgold Exploration (Proprietary) Limited and thereby acquire an interest in its second project -- the Burnstone Gold Property. Burnstone is located in the world's largest gold district, the Witwatersrand Basin of South Africa, from which over one billion ounces of gold have been produced. Since that time, Great Basin has carried out extensive resource delineation drilling, and recently initiated engineering work toward feasibility studies for a long life, low cost gold mine.

Great Basin Announces 6 Million Ounces of Gold in Measured and Indicated Resources in Burnstone Area 1 Gold Deposit

Thursday June 19, 8:03 am ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2003--Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Great Basin Gold Ltd. (TSXV:GBG) (OTCBB:GBGLF - News) is pleased to announce the results of an updated independent resource estimate for the Area 1 deposit at the Burnstone Project in the Witwatersrand goldfield of South Africa. Since January 2003, Great Basin has carried out in excess of 20,000 metres of infill and step-out drilling in Area 1. This work has increased the mineral resource for the Area 1 gold deposit to 6 million ounces, and upgraded 60% of the resource from an indicated to a measured category. Approximately 10 more holes are planned for Area 1 to move further resources to the measured category. This drilling will be done in conjunction with the Area 2 drilling program that is currently underway.
Great Basin commissioned the engineering firm, Behre Dolbear & Company to update the mineral resource for the Area 1 deposit. Behre Dolbear was involved in the due diligence assessment of the Burnstone property in 2002, as well as making recommendations for the recently completed Area 1 drill program. Great Basin staff and South African consultants compiled the new data and updated the geological model for the deposit. Behre Dolbear's resource estimation specialists reviewed the model, updated the estimate and classified the mineral resource based on 57 core holes and 208 valid deflections. The Behre Dolbear team worked under the direct supervision of James A. Currie, P. Eng., who is the independent qualified person for the resource estimates.
