(TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) (\"Blackrock\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results from the reverse circulation (\"RC\") Scout Drilling Program completed on the southeastern side of the DPB M&I Conversion area on its 100% owned Tonopah West project located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States.Starting in late December 2024 and finishing in late January 2025, the Company completed ten exploration RC drillholes in the eastern portion of the DPB area and the adjacent Ohio target to test for gold and silver along a structural zone and beneath a felsic sill. A total of 3,857 metres (12,655 ft) was drilled. The program was very successful with silver and gold being returned from all targets. SCOUT PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:Assays from our reverse circulation scout drill program have returned significant gold & silver values in 7 drillholes that have successfully expanded the footprint of mineralization up to 1,200 metres to the east of the existing DPB resource toward the historic Ohio mine;These intercepts cover a new zone of mineralization not included in the 2024 resource that may impact the upcoming DPB South resource update (Q3, 2025);TW25-128 which returned 9.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 1,198 g/t silver over 1.52-metres (2,063 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq)) from 292 metres in the Ohio area;TW25-133 returned multiple thick zones of mineralization including 10.46 g/t gold and 10.6 g/t silver over 4.57-metres (952 g/t AgEq) including 1.52 metres grading 21.45 g/t gold and 15.7 g/t silver (1,948 g/t AgEq) from 309 metres and 3.05 metres grading 270 g/t AgEq (129 g/t silver and 1.57 g/t gold) from 280 metres;TW25-130 cut 1.52 metres of 587 g/t AgEq (3.3 g/t gold and 290 g/t silver) from 189 metresAssays from multiple drillholes have extended the Merten vein system by 540 metres along strike to the east of the main DPB South resource. With the inclusion of discovery hole TW25-128, targeting an area historic miners referred to as the Ohio vein, the mineralized trend could extend up to 1,2...
