[{"type":"text","content":" Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 26, 2023) - Green River Gold Corp. (CSE: CCR) (OTC Pink: CCRRF) (the \"Company\" or \"Green River\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling on its 100%-owned Quesnel Nickel Project, located 40 kilometers by road, from Quesnel, British Columbia, in the prolific Cariboo Mining District in south central British Columbia Canada. This phase of drilling is a continuation of the Zone 1 drilling program from last year and will comprise approximately 500 meters in 5 diamond drill holes. Last year's Quesnel Nickel program consisted of 42 diamond drill holes, all of which encountered significant nickel, magnesium, chromium and cobalt from surface. The deepest hole was drilled to a depth of 128 meters and ended in mineralization (See Press Release dated January 5, 2023). This year's program (see description and images below) will also include 20 planned NQ diamond drill holes involving a 6,000 meter program to test at depths down to 300 meters and expand on the 14 kilometer strike around and between Zone 1 and Zone 2. The 2023 program also includes plans for exploration groundwork on its newly acquired Fontaine Gold Project, which will include bedrock mapping, soil and rock sampling and a geophysical program. Program details will be announced as they are finalized. Kyle Townsend, Green River Gold Mine Manager, comments, \"Last year's drill program achieved results better than we had anticipated at the Quesnel Nickel Project. We hit consistent nickel assays in 42 diamond drill holes from surface to a maximum 128 meters deep in 2 separate zones situated 10 kilometers apart. We are excited to employ a larger drill rig to test both the 14 kilometer strike length between and across Zone 1 and 2, and at depth which appears to be open beyond our previous maximum depth of 128 meters. We are equally excited to have acquired additional ground, extending adjacent to and parallel with Osisko's Yanks Peak trend on the southern end of our large 20,493 hectare contiguous group of mineral claims. We will begin initial ground work and exploration on this exciting gold prospect this year.\" Figure 1. Ultramafic rocks in the Slide Mountain Terrane hosting nickel, magnesium and talc. Figure 2.
