Blackrock Gold Commences Property-wide Exploration at
Silver Cloud Gold Project in Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2019) - Blackrock Gold Corporation (TSXV: BRC) ("Blackrock" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a property-wide exploration program at Silver Cloud on the Northern
Nevada Rift with an aim to initiate drilling by Fall.
Exploration Program Underway
833 soil samples collected from the northeast portion of the property are now at the lab to be analyzed for 41 elements,
including gold & silver
Geological Mapping is now underway to refine geologic and alteration picture on under-explored, high-priority sections of
the property
Diamond drill hole planning has commenced to test strike potential of an east-west zone of roughly 1500m between the
workings of the former Silver Cloud mine extending to Northwest Canyon; permitting to commence shortly
Andrew Pollard, Chief Executive Officer: "With the proceeds from our fully-subscribed private placement now in our treasury we
are wasting no time in moving exploration forward at Silver Cloud. Geologic cross sections show gold intercepts in the Placer
Dome and Teck drill holes (1.5m of 12.5g/t Au and 1.5m grading 157.7 g/t Au respectively) align at the same elevation along an
east-west zone with 1500 meters of strike potential, and drill hole planning is now underway to test this theory. We intend to
move forward with permitting our phase-one drill program as soon as targets have been delineated, bringing the first systematic
drill program to Silver Cloud in nearly 15 years this Fall. Our generative exploration program is also focused on the north-east
section of our property, which represents the westernmost extension from Hecla's Hollister mine. This area is host to another
past-producing mercury mine, and a soil geochemical survey carried out in May of 2018 showed elevated silver readings,
making this never before drill-tested section of the property a priority for us."
Blackrock Gold Corp. announces that it has granted 700,000 incentive stock options to the Directors and Officers of the
Company. The options, which are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's stock option plan and the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange, may be exercised at a price of $0.10 per share for a term of 5 years.
