Inclusion Of The Victor Vein System Into Upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate

VANCOUVER - Blackrock Silver Corp. reported that modeling of the many silver and gold intercepts reported to date at the Victor Vein system demonstrates sufficient vein continuity for inclusion in the upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Tonopah West project, located in the Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada. The Victor vein system (the intersection of the Murray, Merger and O.K. vein systems) extends 480 meters along strike to the eastern border of the Tonopah West project. Blackrock's drilling shows the vein is 480-meters long and its dip extent is unknown at this time since the bottom has not been encountered. Drilling by Summa Silver indicates this vein system extends another 300 meters east along strike onto their property.

The Tonopah West project is conveniently situated directly adjacent to the town of Tonopah in Western Nevada, with highway US 95 traversing the property, and the DPB and Victor resource areas are comprised entirely of patented mining claims.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO, said, "As we near completion on our maiden resource estimate on the DPB target at Tonopah West, we concluded that the Victor vein system, which is right next door, has sufficient information and will play a part in this important milestone for the Company, alongside our DPB vein corridor. These vein systems are geologically and historically tied together, with underground workings linking the two areas, of which are in very close proximity. Over 90 years following development and production shut down, it is only fitting that these two areas re-emerge for the next chapter of the "Queen of the Silver Camps." To accommodate the additional work required in modeling this separate vein system, announcement of the maiden resource estimate is anticipated mid April.”
