[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, Aug. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (the \"Company\" or \"Etruscus\"), a Vancouver-based junior exploration company, is pleased to announce it has expanded its claim package through strategic staking at its 100%-owned Rock & Roll Property (the \"Property\") and in an area to the northwest known as the Sugar Property (or \"Sugar\"). All claims are near the past producing Snip mine situated in the Eskay region of Northwest B.C.'s prolific Golden Triangle. Highlights: Through strategic staking of 4 contiguous claims totaling 5,868 hectares (\"Ha\"), the Rock & Roll Property that hosts the Black Dog volcanogenic massive sulphide ('VMS') discovery is now 21,955 Ha comprising 39 claims (Click Here to View Map); 10 mineral claims known as the Sugar Property were staked approximately 7 km northwest of the Rock & Roll Property. 2 days of prospecting, mapping and sampling were spent on claims staked in March 2019 to confirm historic showings and understand the mineralizing systems Consultant geologist and nickel expert Dr. Peter Lightfoot spent 1 day of mapping and sampling with Etruscus at Hoodoo North and Hoodoo West, staked in March 2019. Assays are pending; and Drilling permits have been received for this summer's drill program at the Rock & Roll project and Etruscus' first ever drill program will begin shortly. Rock & Roll Northwestern Extension Following the previously announced staking (see News Release dated April 30th, 2019), 3 of the 4 additional claims were staked in the northwestern extension, located north of the Iskut River, due to their location within the favorable Stuhini Group which hosts the Company's Black Dog deposit. This high, mountainous terrain has seen limited geological work but remains highly prospective due to the rapid glacial retreat of the Hoodoo and Twin Glaciers. Notable areas within the northwest extension include: Hoodoo North (Minfile 104B414) has several mineralized gossanous zones anomalous in silver and copper as well as a gabbroic intrusion. Historic grab samples from this broad area returned assays up to 4.8% copper and 164 g/t silver; and Hoodoo West (Minfile 104B283) includes mineralized polymetallic veins and historic assay results highlighted by a grab sample assaying 9.5 g/t gold. Hoodoo East The 4th claim, Hoodoo East, was ...
