Blackrock Gold Corp. announced assay results and geologic interpretation following a 15 year exploration hiatus on its recently acquired, 100% controlled Silver Cloud project located on the Northern Nevada Rift in Elko County, Nevada. Five HQ core holes were drilled at Silver Cloud totaling 2,207 metres (7,240 feet). Partial assay results are received for SBC19-001, SBC19-002, and SBC19-003. Drilling focused on evaluating a potential east-west vein system between the Silver Cloud mercury mine and Northwest Canyon; Drilling confirms the existence of an east-west low-sulfidation epithermal quartz veining system and potential for vein hosted gold and silver as well as mineralized rhyolite porphyry intrusives; SBC19-001, adjacent to the Silver Cloud mine, intersected 0.7 metres grading 3.95 g/t Au starting at 290 metres (951 feet). This drill hole followed up on historic Teck drilling from 2000; SBC19-002, drilled in Northwest Canyon (1,550 metres west of the Silver Cloud mine), intersected a 1.5 metre vein zone grading 8.32 g/t Au starting at 263 metres (864 feet). This drill hole followed up on historic Placer Dome drilling from 2002; Downhole acoustic televiewer data confirmed the gold mineralization is aligned with east-west structures offset by north-northwest oriented post-mineral faults; The breccia, veins, and associated fine-grained sulfides, in addition to trace element geochemistry, indicate drilling encountered the upper portion of a low sulfidation epithermal gold system; and SBC19-004 and SBC19-005 have significant alterations starting at approximately 335 metres. SBC19-004 encountered quartz veins and veinlets below 381 metres. Additional data from drill holes SBC-001, including the bottom 135 meters, and SBC-002 have yet to be received. Assays for drill holes SBC-004 and SBC-005, both of which have significant visible alteration starting at roughly 335 meters are also pending. Hole SBC-005 was by far the deepest of the initial program, going to a total depth of 552 meters, roughly 83 meters beyond the next deepest drill hole (SBC-001).
