Completion Of Diamond Drilling Program At Revel Ridge Project

VANCOUVER - Rokmaster Resources Corp. reported the first set of assay results and the completion of a diamond drilling program on the Revel Ridge Project. Crews completed another phase of diamond drilling on the Revel Ridge Project. A total of 1,969 metres of diamond drilling were completed in nine drillholes, all of which successfully reached the targeted mineralized zones.

Drillhole RR23-115 was completed to obtain a more optimal intersection of the Yellowjacket Zone (RRYZ) proximal to the 830 Portal. A series of drillholes completed from underground in 1990-1991 by Equinox Resources are oriented to the northeast and essentially down-dip of the RRYZ. This earlier drilling also did not intersect the Main Zone (RRMZ) as a consequence of drilling toward the northeast, leaving a large gap (~180 m) lacking drillhole intersections through the RRMZ down-dip of the 830 Portal. Encountered a wide intersection of RRYZ as well as a strong RRMZ intersection which considerably improves the understanding of the mineralization and geology in this area.

Drillhole RR23-114 was collared 930 m northwest of the 830 Portal and cored a relatively strong RRMZ approximately 150 m down-dip of RR21-58. This intersection is important in the fact it is ~370 m to the northwest of the 2022 drilling which successfully extended the RRMZ at depth. It is noted that all of the shallower 2021 drillholes to the northwest all encountered the Main Deformation Zone (MDZ), the ductile deformation zone which hosts RRMZ sulphide mineralization. Drillhole RR23-114 indicates that mineralization persists beyond the 2023 MRE in this area and that further follow-up drill testing around it and at deeper levels along the entire drill-defined strike length (5.7 km) of the MDZ is warranted.

The first three drillholes (RR23-110, -111, and -112) of this phase of drilling were completed to the southeast targeting the down-dip extension of the 2022 channel sampling on surface (see news release dated August 29, 2022). All three drillholes successfully intersected the RRMZ and Au-Ag-Pb-Zn grades in this area increased at depth. A notable feature of the deepest drillhole from this set, RR23-112, is the occurrence of sphalerite mineralization within the RRMZ sulphides where drillhole intersections and channel samples at higher elevations are endowed only with arsenopyrite-gold mineralization. A similar situation is recorded to the northwest where sphalerite mineralization is present in the deeper drillhole RR23-114 but is lacking in drillhole RR21-58 which cored arsenopyrite-gold mineralization.  

John Mirko, President and CEO, said, "The top-notch crews at Revel Ridge efficiently completed nearly 2,000 m of drilling in 21 days of drilling. The hard work paid off with this first batch of assays results recording very strong mineralization in the Yellowjacket Zone in drillhole RR23-115, which will aid in future modelling of the deposit. In addition, drillhole RR23-114 represents a significant extension of the RRMZ 370 m to the northwest and the three drillholes completed to the southeast further exhibit the continuity of the RRMZ and that grades in this area tend to increase at depth."
