(TSXV: BRC) (the \"Company\" or \"Blackrock\") is pleased to report final assays from, and a recap of, the 2022 drill program at the 100 percent controlled Tonopah West project located within the Walker Lane trend in west-central Nevada.In 2022, the Company drilled 23,227 metres of reverse circulation (\"RC\"), pre-collar and core tail - see Table 3 for the breakdown. The objective was to identify key areas for resource expansion with a focus on four target zones:Northwest Step Out target;Footwall, hangingwall and down dip extensions of the Victor mineralization;New Discovery target; and,DPB expansion.2022 Drill Program Highlights:Northwest Step Out Target: TXC22-074 cut 4.36 metres grading 2.367 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") and 162.5 g/t silver (\"Ag\") (399.3 g/t silver equivalent (\"AgEq\"), including 1.5 metres grading 712 g/t AgEq (3.78 g/t Au and 334 g/tAg), suggesting a strongly mineralized northwest structure, and expands on the intercept discovered in TXC22-052 (see Table 1). RC hole TW22-118 intersected 1.52 metres of mineralization grading 1.70 g/t gold and 0.1 g/t silver or 171 g/t AgEq a full 1.6 kilometres northwest of the DPB resource area (AgEq_= Ag_g/t + Au_g/t*100); Victor Target 5: drill holes confirm the gold and silver continue down dip and multiple high-grade gold and silver veins exist below the underground workings within the footwall of the Victor system. TXC22-063 returned 0.7 metres grading 3.95 g/t AU and 448 g/t Ag (843 g/t AgEq);New Discovery Target: Core hole TXC22-057 delivered the highest-grade intercept at the project to date, intersecting 0.91 metres of 37.86 g/t Au and 2,740 g/t Ag or 6,526.7 g/t AgEq within 1.52 metres grading 22.88 g/t Au and 1,654.1 g/t Ag or 3,942.2 g/t AgEq starting at 191.42 metres down-hole along the southern edge of the DPB resource area;DBP Expansion: Drilling extended the resource 200m to the west and 100m to the east.Andrew Pollard, the Company's President and CEO, commented, \"Our 2022 drilling was successful in daylighting significant upside potential beyond where our previous mineral resource estimate (\"MRE\") left off, expanding the footprint of min...
