About Rokmaster
Rokmaster controls a portfolio of three significant exploration and development projects all of which
are in southern
British Columbia
in regions of excellent infrastructure. The three projects include:
1
.
Revel Ridge.
Rokmaster is currently conducting an underground drill program at the Revel
Ridge Project located in southeastern
British Columbia
35 km's N of the
City of Revelstoke
.
Revel Ridge is host to a high-grade gold and polymetallic orogenic sulphide deposit which has
been the subject of a Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report dated
December 8,
2020
and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate with an effective date of
January 17, 2022
,
both published on Sedar.
2
.
Big Copper.
Rokmaster controls the Big Copper Property in the
Creston
area of
Southern
British Columbia
. Big Copper is a high-grade copper-silver occurrence hosted in mid-Proterozoic
rocks. Copper-silver mineralization has been traced for 4 km along strike and is exposed in a
series of adits and trenches over approximately 400 to
500 m
of vertical relief. Big Copper likely
belongs to a class of stratabound replacement copper-silver deposits hosted within mid –
Proterozoic quartzitic sedimentary rocks. The style and stratigraphic setting of mineralization at
Big Copper may be analogous to similar stratabound silver-copper deposits in
NW Montana
e.g., the Troy Mine (64 million tonnes of 0.74% Cu and 54 g/t Ag (Western Mining History,
2020) or
Hecla's
Montanore Mine, 112 million tonnes at 51.2 g/t Ag and 0.7% Cu (
Hecla
, 2020
Annual Report, Pg. 119.
www.hecla-mining.com
).

3
.
Duncan Zinc.
Duncan is a carbonate hosted silver-lead-zinc deposit located near Duncan Lake
in southern
British Columbia
. The Duncan Deposit is hosted within a Cambrian age Badshot
Limestone which also hosts Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization at Teck's currently producing Pend
D'Oreille mine, as well as past producers including the Blue Bell Mine, Reeves MacDonald,
Jersey-Emerald and HB mines. Mineralization at Duncan Lake forms in the crest and limbs of
the regional scale Duncan Lake Anticline, where strong lead-zinc +/- silver mineralization has
been traced by surface and underground drilling for approximately
2500 m
. At Duncan Lake,
Rokmaster will be targeting > 30 Mt of >10% Pb+Zn+Ag. Historical background and a
geological synthesis of the Duncan Lake Deposit is provided in a NI 43-101 report by
Lane, B.,
2018: Technical Report on the Duncan Lake Project
.
