(the \"Issuer\") (TSXV: BRC) through its U.S. subsidiary, Blackrock Gold Corp. (\"BRC\"), is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Bureau of Land Management ('BLM\") for its proposed core drill program at the Silver Cloud project located in Elko County, Nevada. With the help of EM Strategies, the Company submitted its proposed drill program to the BLM on July 12, 2019, and received final clearance including an archeology site review on August 1, 2019. Andrew Pollard, CEO stated \"With permits now in hand we are readying to follow up on the high-grade gold intercepts found by Teck and Placer Dome. We are bringing drilling back to Silver Cloud for this first time in 15 years!. Our new geologic interpretation of the low sulphidation epithermal gold east-west vein system with 2 kilometres of strike potential allows us to test our model immediately between the Silver Cloud mercury mine and Northwest Canyon. We intend to start off with a program consisting of 2,000m between four holes, going back to where Teck and Placer Dome encountered high-grade gold, with an aim to expanding the program up to 10,000m of permitted drilling along strike if our model is proven successful. In addition, the NE vein target found 5 kilometres to the north of the Silver Cloud mercury mine, represents a newly identified, previously undrilled priority section of the property. Bids have been received by multiple drilling contractors and we intend to make a selection shortly, with an aim to have drills turning in September 2019.\"The Silver Cloud drill program includes two permitted areas: (1) the Silver Cloud mercury mine and Northwest Canyon area and (2) the newly discovered NE vein target.In area (1), geologic modeling developed by Blackrock's geologic team suggests that the historic high-grade precious metal intercepts drilled by Placer Dome and Teck may be associated with an east-west vein system rather than the north-south system that guided previous interpretations. This core drill program is designed to test the east-west interpretation with a total of five sites spread along a 2-kilometre strike with each site containing up to 4 drillh...
