MILLROCK REPORTS GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY RESULTS ON
WEST POGO BLOCK, GOODPASTER GOLD DISTRICT
PROJECT, ALASKA
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, October 9, 2019 - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or the “Company”) announces that it has received results of
a Controlled Source Audio Magneto Tellurics (“CSAMT”) survey recently conducted on its West
Pogo claim block, which comprises a portion of its Goodpaster Gold District exploration project.
Gently dipping conductive zones potentially indicative of gold mineralization in the same
regional shear zone that hosts the Pogo Gold Mine have been detected. The anomalous
responses are directly along strike and down dip of a recent gold deposit discovery announced
by Pogo Gold Mine operator Northern Star Resources Limited (“Northern Star”). The
Goodpaster Deposit reported by Northern Star is located northwest of the existing Pogo Gold
Mine approaching the boundary between Millrock’s West Pogo claims with the mine property.
Gregory Beischer, Millrock President & CEO commented “We have developed a compelling drill
target at West Pogo. Numerous lines of evidence are pointing to the area along Aurora Creek,
which is directly along strike to the southwest from a new, high grade discovery reported by our
neighbours next door. We plan to construct a drill trail from the Pogo Gold Mine road to Aurora
Creek and drill a well to provide a nearby, winter water source. This will give the flexibility to
begin drilling in the winter months of 2020.”
Highlights:
• A high conductivity geophysical response has been detected beneath and on the south
side of Aurora Creek directly along strike from a recent gold deposit discovery on
adjacent claims (the new Goodpaster Deposit) announced by Northern Star, operator of
the Pogo Gold Mine.
• The CSAMT conductor is coincident with a magnetic low (indicating gold-mineralizing
fluids may have altered the rock) and with strong gold, arsenic and bismuth soil
geochemical anomalies at surface.
• The conductor appears to be gently dipping and is therefore consistent with a low-angle
regional shear zone that is known to host the adjacent Pogo Gold Mine (total gold
endowment of approximately 10 million ounces, as reported by Northern Star).

• On Line 3, the conductor lies approximately 120 m below the vertical penetration of a
prior, historic drill hole which intersected gold in near-vertical quartz veins (which
potentially acted as “feeder” veins to a low-angle shear-hosted gold system).
• On Line 6, the conductor is stronger, and at a shallower depth of approximately 80 m
below surface. The area where line 6 intersects Aurora Creek is directly along strike
from the high-grade gold mineralization reported by Northern Star and is coincident with
a pronounced magnetic low.
• On the northern part of Line 6 another conductor is observed, coincident with a magnetic
low, at the expected down-dip projection of Northern Star’s Goodpaster deposit.

The 2019 CSAMT survey covered a total of 13 line km; 5 km on Line 3, and 8 km on Line 6.
Zonge International was contracted to perform the CSAMT Survey acquisition, which began on
August 10 and was completed on September 1. The survey area displays elevated gold, arsenic
and bismuth surface samples coincident with northeast and northwest - oriented breaks in
topography, airborne magnetics, and airborne resistivity survey results. These breaks are
interpreted to be high-angle faults and potential mineralization conduits. The pronounced
magnetic low situated in the Aurora Creek valley is coincident with the elevated gold and
pathfinder elements in surface samples. Areas of defined gold ore bodies at Northern Star’s
Pogo Gold Mine, as well as their newer Central Lodes and Goodpaster discoveries, display a
low magnetic response, due to alteration associated with gold mineralization. Former Pogo Gold
Mine operator Sumitomo Metal Mining has previously used CSAMT as a targeting tool, and the
survey type was reported by them as being instrumental in the initial discovery of the
Goodpaster deposit now being drilled by Northern Star.

Figure 4. CSAMT Survey results for Line 3 and Line 6. Warm colours indicate lower
resistivity (higher conductivity) and possible low-angle shear zone known to host gold
deposits nearby.
The Aurora Creek conductive zone is deeper on Line 3 and is at the edge of survey resolution.
While Millrock does not place a high level of confidence on this conductor, it does appear at the
correct level given a simple projection of the Goodpaster vein system onto Millrock property.
Prior historic drilling was of inadequate depth to test the conductor, but did intersect anomalous
gold values in high-angle quartz veins. Strong geochemical responses are located in the vicinity
of the conductor in the Aurora Creek area. On Line 6, the Aurora Creek conductor is shallower,
and more pronounced and is assigned a higher confidence level and represents a prime target
for drill testing.
