Rockhaven Drills 24.38 g/t Gold and 805 g/t Silver across 2.02 m at its
Klaza Gold-Silver Project, Yukon
February 7, 20 22 - Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:RK) (“Rockhaven”) is pleased to
announce additional assay results from the 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned and road
accessible Klaza property, located in the Dawson Range Gold Belt of southern Yukon.
During summer and fall of 2021, a total of 14,256 m of drilling was completed in 72 holes. The
objectives of this drilling were: (1) expansion of existing mineral resources, (2) re-categorization
of some inferred mineral resources into indicated mineral resources, (3) in-filling of gaps in drill
patterns that are currently categorized as waste rock within existing resource area s, and (4)
evaluation of exploration targets that lie outside of the known mineral resource areas. The results
discussed in this news release include ten holes at the Western BRX Zone that focused on
Objectives 2 and 3 – i.e. the re-categorization of inferred to indicated mineral resources and
evaluation of gaps in the drill pattern that are categorized as waste rock in the current resource
estimates.
Highlight assay results from 2021 drilling at the Western BRX Zone are:
• 24.38 g/t gold, 805 g/t silver, 6.7% lead and 6.9% zinc over 2.02 m (KL-21-526)
• 5.25 g/t gold, 143 g/t silver, 0.9% lead and 1.2% zinc over 6.59 m (KL-21-527)
• 52.6 g/t gold, 279 g/t silver, 0.7% lead and 1.0% zinc over 0.94 m (KL-21-532)
• 11.04 g/t gold, 202 g/t silver, 1.1% lead and 1.3% zinc over 2.46 m (KL-21-529)
• 10.74 g/t gold, 100 g/t silver, 0.9% lead and 0.4% zinc over 2.41 m (KL-21-536)
• 15.04 g/t gold, 235 g/t silver, 0.9% lead, and 1.2% zinc over 1.37 m and 10.20 g/t
gold, 228 g/t silver, 2.1% lead, and 5.4% zinc over 1.70 m (KL-21-524)
• 32.60 g/t gold, 392 g/t silver, 1.5% lead, and 3.6% zinc over 0.59 m and 17.75 g/t
gold, 100 g/t silver, 0.5% lead and 0.7% zinc over 0.71 m (KL-21-531)
• 3.80 g/t gold, 1,310 g/t silver, 16.5% lead, and 3.8% zinc over 0.60 m and 19.20 g/t
gold, 99.4 g/t silver, 0.2% lead and 0.2% zinc over 0.80 m (KL-21-533)
• 12.65 g/t gold, 60 g/t silver, 0.5% lead, and 1.5% zinc over 1.17 m (KL-21-519)
“The majority of the 2021 drill results from the Western BRX Zone returned better grades than the
average for the mineral resources, and over significant vein widths. We will be incorporating these
results into an updated mineral resource estimate later this spring,” stated Matt Turner,
Rockhaven’s CEO. “ Currently, there are 414,000 gold equivalent ounces grading 10.1 g/t gold
equivalent1 classified in the indicated resource category at the Western BRX Zone (see Rockhaven
press release dated June 21, 2018 ), and the results from 2021 program continue to confirm the
exceptional character of this mineralized zone.”
1 Gold equivalent (AuEq) values assume $1,800/oz Au, $22/oz Ag, $1.05/lb Pb, and $1.60/lb Zn, and variable
recoveries for the different metals. The equation used is AuEq=1*Au+Ag/103.42+Pb/4.64+Zn/3.63

Western BRX Zone
Prior to this latest drill program, t he Western BRX Zone host ed an indicated mineral resource
estimate of 1,269,000 tonnes containing 341,000 oz gold, 4,672,000 oz silver, 25.65 million lbs
lead and 28.12 million lbs zinc at an average grade of 8.4 g/t gold, 115 g/t silver, 0.9% lead
and 1. 0% zinc and an inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,343,000 tonnes containing
172,000 oz gold, 3,550,000 oz silver, 19.96 million lbs lead and 24.86 million lbs zinc at an
average grade of 4.0 g/t gold, 82 g/t silver, 0.7% lead and 0.8% zinc (See July 10, 2020
Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Rockhaven website (www.rockhavenresources.com)).
Mineralized veins are emplaced adjacent to a feldspar porphyry dyke that can be traced along the
length of the zone. Since its discovery in 2011, a total of 9 excavator trenches and 80 diamond
drill holes have traced mineralization over a 500 m strike length and from surface to a maximum
depth of 520 m down-dip. The mineralization remains open to extension at depth.
A map showing the locations of all drill holes at the Western BRX Zone , cross-sections through
the zone and core photos of mineralized veins , can be viewed on the Rockhaven website at
www.rockhavenresources.com. Results from the 2021 drilling at the Western BRX Zone are
tabulated below.

Outstanding Results
Results from the remaining 33 holes completed in 2021, which tested other mineralized zones on
the Klaza property, will be released once assays are received. Results of excavator trenching and
soil geochemical surveys are also pending.
QA/QC
All analyses for rock and core samples from the 2021 program were performed by ALS Minerals
with sample preparation in Whitehorse and assays and geochemical analyses in North Vancouver.
Core samples were routinely analyzed for gold by fire assay followed b y atomic absorption (Au-
AA24) and 48 other elements by inductively coupled plasma -mass spectrometry (ME -MS61).
Samples that exceeded the detection limits of the routine methods were assayed for silver, copper,
lead and zinc by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (Ag/Cu/Pb/Zn - OG62)
and gold by gravimetric analysis (Au -GRA22). Rigorous procedures were in place regarding
sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified assay standards, coarse reject
duplicates, field duplicat es and blanks were routinely inserted into the sample stream to ensure
integrity of the assay process. All of the results reported have passed the QA/QC screening.
