[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 6, 2023 /CNW/ - Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (OTC: ETRUF) (FSE:ERR) (the \"Company\" or \"Etruscus\") is pleased to announce additional staking at the Company's 100% owned Rock & Roll Property (or \"Property\") located in the prolific Golden Triangle in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Adjacent to the Rock & Roll property, the 16 contiguous \"Pheno\" claims were staked following a technical review of a government rock sampling program that had taken place over the prospective terrain in 2012. The historic results from the program produced elevated rare earth element (or \"REE\") assays that are comparable to known REE deposits in North America. Stephen Wetherup, Etruscus' VP of Exploration commented, \"These recently staked claims, located immediately to the north of the Rock & Roll property, offer a unique opportunity to expand our target pipeline. Rare earth elements are receiving attention lately due to the newly adopted critical metals strategy from the Canadian government, and now Etruscus has become part of that story with minimal effort and without losing focus on our newly identified porphyry targets at Discovery and Kashmir.\" Highlights The newly staked Pheno claims cover an area of approximately 5 km x 14 km and were staked due to highly anomalous REE tenors returned from random rock sampling during a program of BC government reconnaissance mapping. (See Figure 2 Below for Claims Map or Click Here to View Map); Rhyolites sampled on the Pheno claims returned assays comparable to the inferred resource grades at Round Top Mountain, a bulk-tonnage REE deposit in Texas, USA (See figure 1 below or Click Here to View Table); Staking costs and existing infrastructure provide an efficient way to add this critical mineral opportunity to the Company; and The contiguous nature of the Pheno claims allows us to concurrently work on advancing key Rock & Roll targets for gold, copper and molybdenum. Comparison of Round Top Resource Grade with the five most anomalous rock samples from the Pheno claims. The 4 REEs used for comparison are of high importance due to their demand in electronics and green energy production. *This comparison is to illustrate the significance of REE analytical values from a small number of individual rock samples collected on the Pheno Claims a...
