[{"type":"text","content":"Blackrock Silver Announces Inclusion of the Victor Vein System into Upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate at Tonopah WestVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2022) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (the \"Company\" or \"Blackrock\") is pleased to announce that modeling of the many silver and gold intercepts reported to date at the Victor Vein system demonstrates sufficient vein continuity for inclusion in the upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate (MRE) at the 100% controlled Tonopah West project, located in the Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada. The Victor vein system (the intersection of the Murray, Merger and O.K. vein systems) extends 480 metres along strike to the eastern border of the Tonopah West project which neighbours Summa Silver. Blackrock's drilling shows the vein is 480-metres long and its dip extent is unknown at this time since the bottom has not been encountered. Drilling by Summa Silver indicates this vein system extends another 300 metres east along strike onto their property. The Tonopah West project is conveniently situated directly adjacent to the town of Tonopah in Western Nevada, with highway US 95 traversing the property, and the DPB and Victor resource areas are comprised entirely of patented mining claims. Andrew Pollard, Blackrock Silver's President and CEO, stated, \"As we near completion on our maiden resource estimate on the DPB target at Tonopah West, we concluded that the Victor vein system, which is right next door, has sufficient information and will play a part in this important milestone for the Company, alongside our DPB vein corridor. These vein systems are geologically and historically tied together, with underground workings linking the two areas, of which are in very close proximity. Over 90 years following development and production shut down, it is only fitting that these two areas re-emerge for the next chapter of the \"Queen of the Silver Camps.\" To accommodate the additional work required in modelling this separate vein system, announcement of the maiden resource estimate is anticipated by April 15th, 2022.\" Figure 1: Plan map of Maiden Resource AreasTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/676/117945_0431ee0ff4806a18_002full.jpgTable of Victor Significant InterceptsTable 1: Previously released summary of significa...
