Rockhaven Resources Ltd. Intersects 56.18 g/t Gold and 290 g/t Silver over 1.19 m
and 23.70 g/t Gold and 652 g/t Silver over 1.74 m at Klaza Project, Yukon
November 16, 2017 - Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:RK) ("Rockhaven") is
pleased to announce assay results for an additional 18 diamond drill holes from the 2017
exploration program at its 100% owned Klaza gold -silver property, located in the
Dawson Range Gold Belt of southern Yukon.
A total of 15,922 m of drilling in 96 holes were completed during the 2017 exploration
program. Holes in this release comprise the remaining holes that tested the Western and
Central BRX zones, where infill drilling in 2017 has better define d near-surface
mineralization so that inferred resources can be upgraded to indicated resources.
Assay highlights from this news release include:
56.18 g/t gold, 290 g/t silver, 1.44% lead and 1.63% zinc over 1.19 m – Hole 416
23.70 g/t gold, 652 g/t silver, 5.42% lead and 4.04% zinc over 1.74 m – Hole 404
37.21 g/t gold, 402 g/t silver, 1.60% lead and 2.37% zinc over 1.09 m – Hole 422
16.00 g/t gold, 271 g/t silver, 3.26% lead and 1.92% zinc over 2.18 m plus
5.98 g/t gold, 82.3 g/t silver, 0.91% lead and 1.90% zinc over 2.27 m – Hole 407
7.76 g/t gold, 641 g/t silver, 1.92% lead and 1.37% zinc over 2.16 m – Hole 428
13.81 g/t gold, 113 g/t silver, 0.22% lead and 0.66% zinc over 1.47 m – Hole 413
3.11 g/t gold, 150 g/t silver, 1.94% lead and 0.86% zinc over 7.36 m – Hole 409
29.90 g/t gold, 265 g/t silver, 1.38% lead and 3.51% zinc over 0.52 m – Hole 405
“The drill results at the Western BRX Zone continue to confirm the style and consistency
of high-grade gold and silver mineralization and further validates the Western BRX Zone
as a truly elite asset ,” stated Matt Turner, Rockhaven’s CEO . “Road accessible
mineralization of this calibre is rare in northern Canada and we expect to continue to
focus on defining this zone as the Klaza project advances.”
Western BRX Zone
The Western BRX Zone currently hosts an inferred mineral resource estimate of
1,368,000 tonnes containing 352,000 oz gold, 5,813,000 oz silver, 39.4 million lbs lead
and 42.8 million lbs zinc at an average grade of 8.01 g/t gold, 132 g/t silver, 1.31%
lead and 1.42% zinc (See March 1, 2016 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 76 diamond drill holes have traced mineralization over a 500 m strike length and
from surface to a maximum depth of 520 m down -dip. Maps and sections from the 2017
exploration program can be viewed on the Rockhaven website.

Central BRX Zone
The Central BRX Zone is the site of the original discovery at the Klaza property and is
situated along strike and to the east of the Western BRX Zone . These two zones are
separated by a cross fault that facilitated both vertical and lateral displacement between
the two zones. Although the orientation and visual nature of the veins are similar on both
sides of the fault, mineralization is generally silver dominant in the Central BRX Zone.
Significant new drill results from the BRX Zone and a subsidiary vein in the hanging wall
are shown in Table I.

and geophysical surveys are also pending.
QAQC
All analyses for roc k and core samples from the 2017 program were performed by ALS
Minerals with sample preparation in North Vancouver, Whitehorse , Yellowknife or
Thunder Bay and assays and geochemical analyses in North Vancouver. Core samples
were routinely analyzed for gold by fire assay followed by 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 re garding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry.
Certified assay standards, coarse reject duplicates, field duplicates and blanks were
routinely inserted into the sample stream to ensure integrity of the assay process. All of
the results reported have passed the QAQC screening.
