[{"type":"text","content":"Blackrock Drills 4,643 g/t Silver Eq. over 1.5m Within 3m of 2,466 g/t Silver Eq. and Successfully Steps Out 500m at Tonopah WestVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 8, 2020) - Blackrock Gold Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce additional significant reverse circulation (RC) drillhole intercepts on its maiden drill program at the 100% controlled Tonopah West project located in the Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada. HIGHLIGHTS:Drillhole TW20-017 has delivered the highest-grade intercept of the program to date, cutting 1.5 metres (m) of 26 g/t gold (Au) & 2,030 g/t silver (Ag), or 4,643 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) within 3.1 metres of 14 g/t Au & 1,070 g/t Ag (2,466 g/t AgEq) on the Merton vein which is part of the DPB Target vein system. TW20-17 delivered a second significant intercept, drilling 1.5 metres of 2.8 g/t Au and 220 g/t Ag (506 g/t AgEq). Silver:gold ratio is 100:1, using a 300 g/t AgEq cut-off grade;Drillhole TW20-016 connected with a 500 metre step out along the DPB Target with multiple significant intercepts including 1.5 metres of 553 g/t AgEq (3.2 g/t Au, 232 g/t Ag), 1.5 metres of 489 g/t AgEq (4.8 g/t Au/ 5 g/t Ag), and 1.5 metres of 322 g/t AgEq (1.78 g/t Au/ 145 g/t Ag); Drillholes TW20-011, 012, 013 and 020 are pre-collars for the core tail program. Assays for the core-tail program are pending from Victor Target. The core program is testing 300 metres of strike from where TW20-001 intercepted 29 metres grading 965 g/t AgEq (see news release dated July 20, 2020). This series of drillholes were pre-collared half to two-thirds of the way to the target location using an RC drill. Once hole casing is set, a core drill is employed to complete the drillholes with a \"core tail\";Drill program has been expanded to 30,000 metres, and a third drill rig has been mobilized to test the Ohio Target, which represents a third historic mine on the property;13,700 metres in 28 drillholes have been completed to date. Assays for 16 completed drillholes have been released, delivering 14 significant & high-grade intercepts, ranging from 1.5 metres to 29 metres in thickness, with grades from 300 g/t AgEq to 4,643 AgEq. Five of those intercepts assayed at +1kg g/t AgEq.Andrew Pollard, President & CEO commented \"Management had high expectations going into our maiden round ...
