Drilling On District-Scale Targets At Tonopah North Project

VANCOUVER - Blackrock Silver Corp. announced the maiden drill campaign on the Tonopah North project located adjacent to and north of its Tonopah West project. The Tonopah North project covers 20 square kilometers along the prolific Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada.

The fully permitted and funded inaugural drill program will consist of 9,000 meters in twelve reverse circulation (RC) drillholes. The program will test two silver-gold concepts associated with the mapped margin of the Tonopah Caldera and the projection of major northwest structures, and the lithium potential within the middle and lower portions of the Siebert Formation.

A total of 9,000 meters of drilling planned in twelve RC drillholes, with multiple high-priority silver-gold targets identified, including the extension of the Pittsburg-Monarch Fault System, one of the most significant structures of the Tonopah silver district. District-scale potential, along with Lithium potential identified.

Andrew Pollard, tPresident and CEO, said, "2022 is poised to be a pivotal year for the Company, as we focus on the simultaneous expansion and de-risking of our Tonopah West project (maiden resource expected during Q1) while we continue our search for new discoveries in the shadows of where historic miners left off nearly a century ago. With over 110,000 meters of drilling under our belt on the Tonopah silver district, which has sharpened our understanding of the key structural controls that shape this prolific silver-gold system and benefitting from technology that wasn't available to the old-timers, we've delineated multiple new targets with district-scale potential and are excited to finally test them with the drill-bit."
