(TSXV: BRC) (\"Blackrock\" or the \"Company\") through its U.S. subsidiary Blackrock Gold Corp. is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Silver Cloud project located along the prolific Northern Nevada Rift gold trend in north-central Nevada.The Company has received assay and geochemical determination from 829 soil samples collected over the northern portion of the Silver Cloud project. The soil survey returned several anomalies including: Anomaly (1), a large geochemical anomaly located in the northeastern portion of the property approximately 5km north of the Silver Cloud mine. This Mercury, Arsenic, and Zinc anomaly is within an area mapped with moderate to intense argillic alteration that measures 800 by 1200 metres and is centered on the previously announced E-W banded vein system (see press release dated 27th June 2019). This anomaly is open to the north and east. A follow-up soil sample program will be implemented in August to collect 342 soil samples with the aim of defining the northern and eastern extents of this geochemical anomaly. The new soil samples will extend the grid to the northeast toward the Surprise mercury prospect. Anomaly (1) includes arsenic values up to 100 ppm which define a 1000 by 600 metres area that is open to the north and east. Mercury appears to follow east-northeast structural zones as well as defines windows through the post-mineral volcanics located west and south of the newly defined anomaly. Zinc blankets the argilically altered area and gravity low.The mapped alteration area and corresponding soil anomaly are coincident with a gravity low with sharp east-west boundaries on the north and south. This is significant because gravity lows exist over the Silver Cloud mine area and Northwest Canyon target zones where Teck and Placer Dome drilled 157.7 g/t Au and 12.5 g/t Au over 1.5 metres respectively. The gravity lows at Silver Cloud and Northwest Canyon are suspected to be connected along an east-west vein system. A number of other gravity lows exist on the property, and they are theorized to be hydrothermal vent centers. To date, all drill holes with gold and silver mineralization lie within a gravity low.Anomaly (2), in m...
