[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, June 8, 2020 /CNW/ - Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (FSE: ERR) (the \"Company\" or \"Etruscus\") is pleased to provide an update on field work carried out during the 2019 season near the Company's Black Dog Deposit on the Rock and Roll property (the \"Property\"), located in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The results outline the potential for additional VMS targets and new mineralizing systems which may exist on the historic claims located only 7 km from Skeena Resource's past-producing Snip mine and 13 km from Seabridge Gold's past-producing Johnny Mountain mine. Both neighboring companies are also helping to revitalize the area with drilling planned at or near the historic mines this summer. Etruscus is currently finalizing plans for its upcoming exploration and drill season, expected to begin shortly, and will be prioritizing these new, highly prospective areas. New Prospective Areas: High concentrations of bismuth, a gold pathfinder element, in biogeochemical samples near a potential high-grade quartz vein in the Rob Area, located southeast near Skeena's Snip Mine (Map Link); Multi-element biogeochemical anomalies over rocks now known to conformably overlie the Black Dog Deposit, with coincident conductive and magnetic anomalies; and An isolated and coincident magnetic, conductive, and multi-element biogeochemical anomaly southwest of the Black Dog Deposit is confirmed to be a mineralized skarn. Etruscus successfully completed structural mapping and infill biogeochemical sampling early in the 2019 season. This was followed up with more prospecting around the Black Dog Deposit in conjunction with the drill program completed later in the summer. The field work helped expand on our structural interpretation of the Black Dog horizon as well as confirm biogeochemical sampling as an effective method of targeting in this forested terrain. At the Rob Area, biogeochemical sampling completed near a 50 m historic quartz vein, located in the southeast corner of Rock and Roll, returned high concentrations of bismuth, a gold pathfinder element, and gold. Just 7 km away, Skeena's Snip Mine that produced approximately 1 million ounces of high-grade gold alongside substantial silver, is described as having high levels of bismuth. To the northeast, a large 400 ...
