[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 20, 2023) - Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) (\"Caprock\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce high-grade lithium assay results from samples obtained during a recently concluded prospecting and sampling program on the eastern-most claim block (the \"Main Claim Block\") at its Ackley Lithium-Tin-Molybdenum-REEs property (\"Ackley\", or the \"Property\") located in south-eastern Newfoundland, for which the Company has an option to acquire a 100% interest. Assay highlights from the sampling program are provided in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Assay Highlights from Samples at Ackley Caprock's CEO Mr. Vishal Gupta states: \"Today's assay results confirm our assessment that Ackley has the potential to host significant lithium mineralization. While these samples were obtained from in-situ zinnwaldite boulders and sub-crop during a first-pass prospecting program in a very small portion of the Main Block called the 'Deer Pond' area, we are already starting to see the delineation of a mineralized trend within the greisened rock at Deer Pond. On the basis of these high-grade assays, Caprock's technical team plans to continue its aggressive exploration of the Main Block in the coming weeks.\" Field observations indicate that the sampled zinnwaldite boulders and sub-crop occur in close proximity to the large greisen zone at Deer Pond, however the mineralization appears to be more spatially related to the fine-grained Devonian-aged Ackley granite. This provides Caprock's technical team a prospective area spanning several square kilometres within the Main Block where additional lithium-bearing mineralization could be uncovered. The Company awaits additional confirmation of the zinnwaldite mineralization through detailed petrographic analysis of field samples. Highlighted sample locations are illustrated in Figure 2 below. Figure 2: Location of Highlighted Samples and Outline of Greisen Zone in the Deer Pond area Procedures Utilized for Assay Analysis The samples were submitted to the AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT) laboratory in St John's, Newfoundland and internally couriered to the AGAT Mining Geochemistry Laboratory in Mississauga, Ontario for sample preparation and assay testing using Sodium Peroxide Fusion (lithium) with inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) an...
