[{"type":"text","content":"Blackrock Silver's Partner Tearlach Announces Three Additional Core Drillhole Results with Significant Lithium Intercepts at Tonopah NorthVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 2, 2023) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (the \"Company\" or \"Blackrock\") is pleased to announce that Tearlach Resources Ltd. (\"Tearlach\") has reported lithium results for three additional core holes from its Phase-1 core drilling program at the Company's Tonopah North Lithium project (\"Gabriel\"). Tearlach continues to intersect significant grade and thickness in their Phase-1 core program. Assays for these three core drillholes show higher than expected lithium values as compared to the original discovery drilling and have established an expanded mineralized blanket covering an area 2.0 by 2.75 kilometres (km). Tearlach has now reported eight of its eleven core holes from its Phase-1 core drilling program, with lithium assays pending for the remaining three drill holes. All reported drillholes from the phase-1 core program have intersected thick zones of significant lithium mineralization above 400 parts per million (ppm) Lithium (Li) cut-off, each with higher grade intervals above 1,000 ppm Li. Tearlach's drilling continues to confirm Blackrock's original Gabriel lithium discovery, albeit grades from its phase-1 core program are 40-85% higher than the corresponding original Blackrock reverse circulation intercepts. Tearlach's assay results have increased the average lithium grade of the drill intercepts and show significant expansion potential of the lithium-bearing horizon(s), with the system remaining open to the south and west, and additional assays are pending from the northern and southeastern extents of the property. The Gabriel project is situated in West Central Nevada along the emerging Tonopah lithium belt, adjoining American Lithium Corp's TLC deposit. According to the May 1, 2023, news release issued by Tearlach (the \"Tearlach Release\"), the following highlights were reported for the Gabriel project: Highlights:all three (3) newly reported drillholes had lithium assays greater than 1,000 ppm Li, with the highest value being 1,410 ppm Li over 1.8 feet (0.55 metres).; GAB-005 returned the longest interval of 94.2 feet (28.7 metres) grading 541 ppm Li including 17.6 feet (5.36 metres) grading 860 ppm Li;GAB-004 cut the ...
