[{"type":"text","content":"Calgary, Canada December 13, 2022 – TheNewswire - Crestview Exploration Inc. (CSE:CRS), (Frankfurt:CE7) (“Crestview” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results from the 2022 mapping campaign at the Rock Creek gold prospect in the Tuscarora Mountains of Elko County, Nevada. These results include the completion of the geology map and overlays, detailed descriptions of structures and mapped units, and alteration and mineralization observations and interpretations. A digitized and simplified version of the geology map is attached below (Map 1). The mapping project accomplished several key goals, including: A base map of surface features to guide drill targeting and better understand geophysical results, by Identifying and delineating the mineralized and unmineralized surface lithologies Modelling the strength and distribution of alteration features An updated and more accurate model of veins and structures controlling surface mineralization The mapping project was completed at the 1:2,000 scale, producing five folios with three geological overlays (geology, alteration, and Fe oxides) that were used to generate the South, Central, West, North and North End interpretive folios. Scans of the original (hand-drawn) interpretive folios and field progress reports will be available on the company website at www.crestviewexploration.com. As a reminder to the reader, the Rock Creek property consists of 74 unpatented lode mining claims, but is in close proximity to (as near as currently possible) Crestview’s Divide and Falcon properties which comprise an additional 186 claims, for a total of approximately 2,009 hectares or 4,965 acres between the three. Small historical prospecting occurred at all three properties, and more extensive historic mining occurred at Falcon and Divide. At Rock Creek, there was also some historic drilling which confirmed anomalous precious metal values; however, none of these holes penetrated deeper than 500 ft (Unpublished report by Cruson and Limbach, 1985). The property is located within the Eocene Big Cottonwood Canyon caldera in the Tuscarora volcanic field, hosting low sulfidation epithermal quartz veins with precious metal mineralization. The Big Cottonwood Canyon caldera complex consists of multiple episodes of rhyolitic ash-flow tuff and lava flows of andesitic to dac...
