[{"type":"text","content":"Blackrock Drills 1,003 g/t Silver Equivalent over 3.1m in New Vein Discovered During Step-Out Drilling at Tonopah WestVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2021) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the first high-grade gold and silver drill intercepts from its 2021 program on its 100% controlled Tonopah West project located in the Walker Lane trend within the \"Silver State\" of Nevada. HIGHLIGHTS:TW21-057, -058 and -062 have intersected a new vein immediately south of the known vein swarm at our DPB target with TW21-062 intersecting 3.1 metres grading 6.15 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 388 g/t silver (Ag) or 1,003 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) (Ag:Au 100:1). A minimum strike length of 425 metres has now been established;Drilling to the west of the main Victor vein has intersected significant alteration with 23 metres and 12.2 metres of veins and silicified breccia cut in TW21-033C and TW21-092C respectively on the footwall (west side) of the Pittsburgh-Monarch fault with assays pending;A total of 13,000 metres of drilling has been completed since January 4, 2021, and a total of 41,300 metres of drilling has been completed since June 17, 2020; and,Three core drills and one RC drill are active on the project with two core drills infilling on the DPB target, where a maiden resource estimate is to be delivered by year end, one core drill exploring along the Victor vein system, and the RC drill continuing the step-out program.Andrew Pollard, President & CEO commented, \"Today's results highlight the exciting upside potential this project holds as a new high-grade vein has been discovered just beyond the limits of where our resource definition program at our DPB target is currently underway. With four drill rigs in operation, testing three target areas, our vision for the project continues to expand as it appears the potential for mineralization remains wide open. At Victor, our first drillholes testing for the western extension of the vein across the Pittsburgh-Monarch fault appear to have cut significant alteration, including 23 metres of silicified breccia and massive sulfide veining. Assays from this new zone are expected shortly. Between our ongoing resource definition program at DPB, our continued expansion focused drilling at Victor, and the potential for ad...
