Final Results From 2022 Sampling Program At Rock Creek Gold Prospect

CALGARY - Crestview Exploration Inc. reports on the final assay results for the 2022 surface sampling campaign at the Rock Creek gold prospect in the Tuscarora Mountains of Elko County, Nevada. A total of 118 samples were collected from across the Rock Creek property, and submitted for precious metal and trace element geochemistry.

The surface sampling program has demonstrated wide-spread anomalous gold and silver, including nine samples with greater than 30 g/t Ag (including a sample of 121 g/t Ag), and 32 samples with greater than 0.1 g/t Au (including two samples with greater than 0.5 g/t Au). The 2022 sampling focused on epithermal quartz veins exposed in outcrop and historic prospect pits, and was undertaken in conjunction with 1:2,000 scale mapping.

Previously a sampling program undertaken at Rock Creek, which summarized the previously collected 98 surface samples and highlighted two gold values over 0.5 g/t (0.543 g/t and 0.597 g/t Au) and several samples in the 0.1 g/t to 0.35 g/t Au range. The Rock Creek data also includes inherited gold assay results from historic sampling which included several samples greater than 1 g/t Au.  

The faults and quartz veins delineate major structural trends of mineralization and alteration at Rock Creek. The quartz veins occur in several structural systems that dominate the entire Rock Creek property. Higher gold and silver grades correlate well with the presence of visible sulfides (arsenian pyrite) and jarosite in the quartz veins. Elevated arsenic and barium are ubiquitous in the samples, and there is a notable lack of mercury.

VP of Exploration, Justin Lowe, said, "We are very pleased to have completed our 2022 sampling program which confirms mineralization over the entire length of our Rock Creek property and bodes well for our upcoming drilling program in 2023."
