September 14 2022 - 7:30AM
Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or
the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on gold projects in
Alaska.
Fairbanks District – Treasure Creek Gold
Project
Felix Gold (ASX: FXG, “Felix Gold” or “Felix”) has recently
reported that it has completed the planned exploration program at
the Treasure Creek gold project in the Fairbanks Mining District.
The company has completed 12,424 meters of reverse circulation
drilling in 131 holes to test the NW Array and Eastgate prospect
areas. Reconnaissance lines were also drilled to test geophysical
and geochemical targets in other areas of the property. An initial
highlight result of 89.0 meters grading 1.2 grams per tonne gold
was previously reported at the Northwest Array prospect and a
diamond core rig is now being used to do further testing. Assay
results for only nine of the 131 holes have been reported.
Thousands of assay results are to follow throughout the fall of
2022. Felix Gold has also completed a VTEM airborne geophysical
survey at Treasure Creek to complement a previously flow magnetic
survey. Further details can be found in Felix Gold’s September 13,
2022 press release.
By virtue of its sale of Fairbanks District claims and a
strategic alliance with Felix Gold, Millrock owns 9,957,157 shares
of Felix Gold and holds royalties ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% NSR on
all claims currently held by Felix Gold in the Fairbanks
District.
Millrock President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “Felix
Gold executed an excellent drilling program this year and we look
forward to seeing the results. We think the potential of the
Fairbanks District has not been fully recognized, but that it soon
will be.”
Goodpaster District, 64North Gold Project
Resolution Minerals Limited (ASX: RML) (“Resolution”) has
recently reported that it has completed a diamond drilling program
to test the Tourmaline Ridge prospect, located to the immediate
west of the Pogo Mine, where owner Northern Star Resources Ltd.
operates a successful gold mining operation southeast of the City
of Fairbanks.
Tourmaline Ridge was identified as a priority target for
drilling in 2022. Gold and pathfinder elements were detected in
soil samples over a 1,850 by 750-meter area. Resolution executed an
efficient drill test. Five diamond core holes totaling 2,324 meters
were drilled to intersect shallow northwest dipping structures
interpreted from geophysics as possible extensions of the Pogo Mine
structures. Hole 22TR001 intersected altered rocks with indications
of multiple hydrothermal fluid flow events. Mineralization included
veinlets of quartz with arsenopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite. Hole
22TR003 intersected quartz veins containing bismuthinite and
pyrite. Resolution reported the first batch of assay results from
select zones in holes 22TR001 and 22TR003 with low-level, elevated
gold values commonly in the 0.04 to 0.2 grams per tonne gold range.
Resolution anticipates receipt of the remaining assay results (86%
of the total samples submitted) in November 2022. Further details
can be gleaned from Resolution’s September 5, 2022 press
release.
Resolution is currently sole funding exploration to earn up to
an 80% interest in a portion of the 64North project. By virtue of
the earn-in agreement, Millrock owns 23,100,000 shares of
Resolution. To date, Resolution has earned a 42% interest in the
project.
