Mapping And Sampling At The Rock Creek Project Elko County
CALGARY – Crestview Exploration Inc. announced the completion of the 1:2,000 scale geological mapping to define gold targets and sampling at the Rock Creek project north west of Elko, Nevada. The fieldwork finished on October 12, 2022, and marks complete coverage of the property, from south to north. The last of the sampling was transported for assay analysis. The field results will be integrated into a final map and and will be reported upon receipt.
Results from a batch of 14 samples from the 2022 Rock Creek mapping and sampling have been received, and include the highest gold value from surface sampling at Rock Creek to date at 0.64 g/t Au as well as a 34.3 g/t Ag sample. The continued positive pervasive findings of gold and silver values from all sample batches provides further evidence that Rock Creek spans a large mineralized system. Strikes of the major mineralized structures and quartz veins are mostly NNW, NS and NNE with dips about 70° or greater. These mineralized structural zones have variable widths and visible strikes. The structural N-NNE system mapped in the north end of the property has a strike of about 800 meters and 200 meters wide. A small silicious sinter was mapped and sampled within a strongly fractured oxide zone.
Crestview is awaiting results for an additional 3 batches of samples from the 2022 Rock Creek sampling. The Company is also expecting results for the recently completed CSAMT survey and expects to provide an update to the land position.
