(TSXV: BRC) (the \"Company\" or \"Blackrock\") is pleased to announce that Tearlach Resources Ltd. (\"Tearlach\") has reported assay results for three (3) new core step-out drill holes (GAB-013, 016, & 019) at the Company's Tonopah North Lithium Project (\"Gabriel\") in Tonopah, Nevada. These newly reported holes intersected broad lithium-mineralized zones with many intervals exceeding 1,000 ppm and grades up to 1,300 ppm. With all results received and reported from the Phase 1, 11 core drillhole program, Tearlach intersected significant grade and thickness of lithium mineralization in every drillhole. Assays show higher than expected lithium values as compared to the original discovery drilling and have established an expanded mineralized blanket covering an area 2.6 km by 2.8 km or 7.3 square kilometres. Based on Tearlach's results, the zone appears to be open to the north, south and west.Andrew Pollard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blackrock, commented: \"With each drillhole from our partner-funded Phase-1 core program hitting broad, thick zones of mineralization across a 7.3 square kilometre area, the results signal significant tonnage potential, with a grade profile that is in line with other more advanced projects on the Tonopah Lithium belt, including the adjacent TLC deposit (owned by American Lithium Corp). The project has come a long way since the initial discovery was made less than one year ago by Blackrock, and we're excited for Tearlach to get geologic modelling of the data underway on this largely open system. With both silver and lithium to play crucial roles within the emerging green economy, the Company's landholdings in Tonopah, complete with one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver/gold resources in the world, in addition to the adjacent lithium discovery quickly being advanced, uniquely position Blackrock as a potential domestic provider of these critical metals.\"The following data was reported for the Gabriel project in the May 17, 2023 news release issued by Tearlach (the \"Tearlach Release\"):Highlights: Table 1 is a compilation of all Phase-1 core drillholes.
