[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 19, 2021 /CNW/ - Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (OTC: ETRUF) (FSE: ERR) (the \"Company\" or \"Etruscus\") is pleased to announce substantial rock sampling results from the \"Thunderstruck\" target newly discovered during its 2020 summer exploration program in the Eskay Camp of BC's resource-rich Golden Triangle. The Thunderstruck target is located 1.5 km southeast of the Hurricane Target (announced January 13, 2021), both located on the recently staked extended Rock & Roll claims, and 13 km northwest of the Black Dog Deposit. Like Hurricane, the Thunderstruck target was immediately upgraded to high-priority due to the strong geochemistry returned from the high-grade samples. The area contained multiple quartz calcite veins of cm scale that spread over an area of hundreds of meters. Iron carbonate weathering and gossanous patches were visible through the deposited glacial moraine. The veins showed polymetallic signatures high in elements expected in epithermal environments such as Pretium's high-grade Brucejack deposit. Thunderstruck Highlights: Grab sample* # B0026845 assayed 7,013 g/t silver, 12.7 g/t gold, 3.9% zinc, 2.4% lead, and 0.2% copper; Another grab sample taken 85 meters (\"m\") away also had very impressive silver results with 1,017 g/t silver, as well as significant gold, copper, lead and zinc; Historic work from this area in 1983 suggest it was entirely under ice at that time; The nearby Argentina vein 1,800 m northwest sampled 555 g/t silver; The nearby Heather vein 1,500 m southeast sampled 25 g/t gold, 332 g/t silver and 5.1% lead in 2019 and soil sampled** 9.5 g/t gold and >100 g/t silver in 1983; and Further rock sampling to the south along the edge of the glacier, 200 m and 700 m south also returned rocks with elevated silver and gold (Click Here to View Map). Through an extensive 20-day geological mapping and sampling program completed on the extended Rock & Roll claims this past summer, the team discovered numerous veins at or near the Thunderstruck target. These veins appear to show potential for precious metal mineralization including high-grade silver and gold, and often demonstrate elemental signatures representative of an epithermal system. They occur in a fine-grained sedimentary sequence of siltstones and calcareous sediments tentatively assig...
