[{"type":"text","content":"Calgary, Canada – TheNewswire - November 9, 2022 - Crestview Exploration Inc. (CSE:CRS), (Frankfurt:CE7) (“Crestview” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results for recent surface sampling at the Rock Creek gold project in Elko County, Nevada. This batch brings the total for the 2022 program at Rock Creek to 97 sample assays received, and one additional sample batch to come. The surface sampling program has demonstrated wide-spread anomalous gold and silver (see Figure 1), including 8 samples with greater than 30 g/t Ag, and 2 samples with greater than 0.5 g/t Au. The 2022 sampling focused on epithermal quartz veins exposed in outcrop and historic prospect pits and was undertaken in conjunction with 1:2,000 scale mapping. Figure 1 A previous press release (dated January 16, 2020) described results from the previous sampling programs undertaken at Rock Creek (included in Figure 1), which summarized the previously collected 98 surface samples and highlighted two gold values over 0.5 g/t (0.543 g/t and 0.597 g/t Au) and several samples in the 0.1 g/t to 0.35 g/t Au range. V.P. of Exploration, Justin Lowe, commented that “the sampling results continue to indicate a widespread gold and silver system. Taken together with the 2021 mapping and sampling results at Divide, and the historic production at Falcon, we are optimistic that we could be targeting a significant and widespread gold and silver system.” Crestview anticipates receiving the remainder of the 2022 sample assays in the next several weeks, and having an updated geology, structure, and alteration map in the same time frame. The company also expects to have results from the CSAMT survey at Rock Creek shortly. All of these results will be integrated and utilized for drill targeting for the follow-up drill campaign in 2023. QA/QC Samples include both chip and grab, primarily from outcropping quartz veins; chip samples were collected using a rock hammer. Each sample was placed into a tight weave fabric type sample bag and transported to Paragon Geochemical assay lab in Sparks, Nevada. The samples were prepared by Paragon to include drying at 100℃, crushing to 70% passing 10 mesh, riffle splitting 250g, and pulverizing to 85% passing 200 mesh. Equipment goes through Pre Operation checks for gold contamination. At the beginning of eac...
