MILLROCK REPORTS OPERATIONS UPDATE
64NORTH GOLD PROJECT, ALASKA
Highlights:
• The planned program of 2,300 meters is nearing completion.
• Assay results from the first two holes have been received; results indicate anomalous
gold and pathfinder values; further drilling is required.
• Geophysical surveys and field exploration at the Boundary Prospect, East Pogo Block
are in progress and showing interesting targets.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, September 10, 2020 - Millrock Resources Inc.
(TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update
on drilling and other exploration at its 64North Gold project. Exploration work is being funded
and managed by Resolution Minerals (“Resolution” ASX: RML) in a collaborative arrangement
with Millrock as the project operator. The 64North Gold Project is a very large tract of claims in
Alaska’s emerging Goodpaster Gold District. Drilling has been ongoing since early June and
continues at present.
The current drilling program is focused on the Aurora, Echo, and Reflection targets, all of which
are adjacent to and generally west of the Pogo Mine property, which is owned and operated by
Northern Star Resources Ltd. (“Northern Star”). Northern Star has previously reported a gold
resource of 5.95 million ounces of gold in a series of veins grading 9.6 grams per tonne gold
(Source: Northern Star website). More than four million ounces of gold has already been mined
at Pogo and Northern Star has recently announced a new gold discovery called the Goodpaster
deposit a short distance away from the mutual claim boundary. Millrock cautions that
mineralization on the nearby Northern Star property is not necessarily indicative of gold
mineralization hosted on the Company’s property. Presently, Millrock and Resolution are testing
the Aurora Target southwest of the Goodpaster deposit held by Northern Star. Northern Star
has recently indicated they will devote $21 million to perform delineation drilling at Goodpaster.
Holes 20AU001 and 20AU002 have been previously reported. Holes 20AU003 and 20AU004
are reported in this press release. Holes 20AU005 and 20AU006 have been recently completed
and hole 20AU007 is in progress. Hole locations are shown in Figure 1.

Assay Results Hole ID’s 20AU03 and 20AU04
Assays from Aurora drill holes 20AU003 and holes 20AU004 indicate
minor gold mineralization as detailed below. The alteration observed in
the drill core matched the CSAMT and ZTEM geophysics anomalies. The
Company is encouraged by the strong alteration, presence of gold, para-
gneiss host rocks, and presence of sulfides indicating the strong fertility
of the system.
Intervals Hole 20AU003
• 0.86m @ 0.35 g/t Au from 19m depth
• 0.86m @ 0.44 g/t Au from 423m depth
Intervals Hole 20AU004
• 0.78m @ 0.41 g/t Au from 522m depth
• 1.19m @ 0.76 g/t Au from 762m depth
Boundary Prospect
A ZTEM / MAG airborne geophysical survey and a ground-based CSAMT survey were recently
completed. Conductive zones were identified in areas where geochemical anomalies and gold-
anomalous intersections had been identified by prior explorers. A field team of geologists is
presently conducting sampling and mapping operations.
Earn-In Agreement Terms
Resolution can earn up to a 60% interest in the 64North Gold Project through exploration
expenditures of US$20 million, payment of US$200,000 cash, and issuance of 38 million
Resolution shares. The minimum commitment for 2020 is US$5.0 million. The partners are
developing plans for further drilling and other exploration to be carried out in fall of 2020. Other
details of the agreement between Millrock and Resolution are documented in Millrock’s
announcement made on December 16, 2019.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Millrock adheres to stringent Quality Assurance–Quality Control (“QA/QC”) standards. Drill core
samples are kept in a secure location at all times. For this program two laboratories were used;
some samples were sent to ALS Chemex prep laboratory in Fairbanks, Alaska USA, and others
were sent to Bureau Veritas also in Fairbanks, Alaska. Representative half-core samples
underwent sample preparation in Fairbanks. Prepared samples sent to ALS Chemex were
subsequently analyzed at ALS Chemex laboratories in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Gold was
analyzed by Fire Assay (specifically ALS code Au-AA25 – Au) by fire assay and AAS using a
gram nominal sample weight). Prepared samples sent to Bureau Veritas were sent to the

Bureau Veritas laboratory in Reno, Nevada (BV code FA430/AA). The following QA/QC
protocols were been adopted for this program: 1) Duplicates created as coarse crush duplicates
on every 50th sample (2% insertion) in the sample preparation process at the laboratory, and 2)
Blank material inserted at a rate of 2 blanks per 100 samples (2% insertion) and 3) Standards–
Certified Reference Material (CRM’s) every 20th sample (5% insertion) plus additional random
insertions at the supervising geologist’s discretion. All results from duplicates, blanks, and
standards were reviewed and found to be accurate and within acceptable tolerances
