Rockhaven Steps Out on New Discovery and Drills 5.28 g/t Gold and
1,054 g/t Silver over 1.60 m at its Klaza Gold-Silver Project, Yukon
December 11, 201 9 - Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:RK) (“Rockhaven”) is pleased to
announce the first assay results from the 2019 Klaza diamond drill program. The road accessible
Klaza property is 100% owned by Rockhaven and is located in the Dawson Range Gold Belt of
southern Yukon. The 2019 pro gram focused on the definition and evaluation of targets that lie
adjacent to the zones containing the 2018 mineral resource estimate. The 2018 estimate included
indicated resources of 4.5 Mt containing 686,000 oz gold and 14,071,000 oz silver at grades of
4.8 g/t gold and 98 g/t silver, and inferred resources of 5.7 Mt containing 507,000 oz gold and
13,901,000 oz silver at grades of 2.8 g/t gold and 76 g/t silver (see Klaza Property Technical
Report dated August 2, 2018).
The results announced in this release are from the seven drill holes that tested the Pearl Zone, a
structure that hosts multiple gold and silver veins . The Pearl Zone was a drill discovery in 2017
(KL-17-403) and is located 400 m north of the Klaza mineral resource area . The 2019
exploration program included four drill holes that tested up -dip and along -strike of th e 2017
discovery intercepts. Three of the 2019 holes also targeted the inferred offset of the Pearl Zone
within the Western Fault Block, a 500 m wide structural corridor that hosts the Western BRX
and Western Klaza Zones, two of the highest-grade gold and silver zones on the Klaza property.
“The first drill results from the 2019 program continue to increase the size of the known
mineralizing system at Klaza and successfully identified significant epithermal mineralization
within one of the most enticing targets on the property, the Western Fault Block, which hosts
some of the best gold and silver mineralization identified in the entire Dawson Range Gold
Belt,” stated Matt Turner, Rockhaven’s CEO. “These results support our thesis that systematic
drilling adjacent to the known mineral resources has strong potential to add high-grade gold and
silver ounces to the project.”
Assay highlights from this news release include:
5.28 g/t gold, 1,054 g/t silver and 5.62% lead over 1.60 m – Hole 439 (Central Pearl)
7.11 g/t gold, 58.7 g/t silver and 6.15% zinc over 0.90 m plus 3.72 g/t gold, 1,020 g/t
silver and 17.20% lead over 0.46 m – Hole 449 (Central Pearl)
6.52 g/t gold and 235.0 g/t silver over 0.91 m – Hole 459 (Western Pearl)
Hole KL-19-439, collared 100 m to the west of the 2017 discovery hole, returned an intercept of
5.28 g/t gold, 1054 g/t silver, 5.62% lead and 2.26% zinc over 1.60 m . Hole KL-19-449 was
the most easterly hole and intersected numerous veins, with the best two returning 7.11 g/t gold,
58.7 g/t silver and 6.15% zinc over 0.90 m , and a second vein, seven metres further downhole,
grading 3.72 g/t gold, 1,020 g/t sil ver and 17.20% lead over 0.46 m . Silver, lead and zinc
grades from the Central Pearl Zone are among the highest on the property, which is consistent
with the distal portion of the epithermal zoning model.

The t hree holes that tested for the offset of the Pearl Zone in the Wester n Fault Block were
drilled along a single section line. Hole KL -19-459 cut the expected location of the vein
extension and intersected a 0.91 m wide vein zone which returned 6.52 g/t gold and 235.0 g/t
silver. Hole KL -19-455, the most norther n hole along the fence , intersected numerous
mineralized veins, including one that graded 7.97 g/t gold and 834 g/t silver over 0.31 m. These
intercepts are important as the Western Fault Block hosts high-grade resources in the Western
BRX and Western Klaza zones. Further drilling is needed to expand and assess these new
discoveries.
The up-dip projection of the main intercepts from drilling across the Central and Western Pearl
zones correlate with linear magnetic low s and VLF-EM conductors, resembling those t hat mark
the Western BRX and Western Klaza zones . Prime exploration target s are located along-strike
of the new discoveries within the Western Fault Block, as well as to the East of the Central Pearl
Zone, where intense linear magnetic lows extend into an area with exceptionally high gold-in-
soil geochemistry. These targets will be evaluated during the 2020 exploration program.
The 2019 field program consisted of 5,750 m drilled in 33 holes. Maps can be viewed at
Rockhaven’s website www.rockhavenresources.com.
