[{"type":"text","content":" Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 7, 2022) - Green River Gold Corp. (CSE: CCR) (OTC Pink: CCRRF) (the \"Company\" or \"Green River\") is pleased to announce it has intercepted nickel sulphides at its wholly owned Quesnel Nickel/Cobalt/Talc Project (the Project) in British Columbia, Canada. The mineralization has been verified with a handheld XRF device with point data taken on the sulphides reaching up to 1.05% Ni. According to preliminary tests made with a portable XRF sampler, tests indicate the presence of elevated nickel and chromium in core recovered from 9 shallow holes (Table 1). The holes were drilled during the last 2 months of 2021 and range up to 18.3 m deep. The elevated elements are hosted in serpentinized ultramafic rocks belonging to the Slide Mountain Terrane. The rock terrane reaches up to 500 m wide and extends more than 3 km NW across the Project area. Elevated nickel and chromium concentrations were present in each XRF gun sample point in every drill hole, starting right from the surface. The Company is very encouraged by the discovery of this mineralization so close to the surface of a known area of talc alteration. The following table indicates the average grades of nickel over the length of each drill hole. Highlights of the drilling include 0.25% nickel and 0.13% chromium over the bottom five meters of Hole Number DO-21-06. We look forward to seeing the results from deeper drilling which will be commencing in the next few weeks.

The elemental data is highly dependent on the location of which the beam intersects the rock. The device used to take the data points is an Olympus Vanta C Series handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and produces a beam spot diameter of up to 3mm. It is designed to achieve laboratory-quality results in the field and provi...
