[{"type":"text","content":" Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2023) - Green River Gold Corp. (CSE: CCR) (OTC Pink: CCRRF) (the \"Company\" or \"Green River\") is pleased to announce that the first field reconnaissance program for the KaLi Pegmatite Property (the Property or the Project) has been finished and pathfinder elements have been identified by a handheld XRF analyzer. The Property is 100%-owned by the Company and is located 45 kilometres northwest of the town of Clearwater, in the prolific Kamloops Mining District in South Central British Columbia, Canada. The 2023 field reconnaissance program was designed to evaluate the potential for LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum)-bearing pegmatites, copper, and molybdenum porphyry system on the Property. Prospecting on the Property was conducted between August 10 and August 14, 2023. The KaLi Pegmatite Project consists of 1059.5 hectares of land (the Property) and dates back to the early 1960's when Noranda Exploration conducted the first comprehensive soil Geochem survey over an approximate 5.0 km by 1.5 km wide area. This was followed up by two other grassroots surveys conducted by Amoco in 1974 and Norseman Mining Corp. in 1980 who further duplicated the geochemistry. In 1981 Placer Development Ltd. performed geochemical and geophysical surveys near the south-western extent of the Property. With the primary focus of exploration in this area over the last 6 decades being focused on Molybdenum, the potential for Lithium Bearing Pegmatites in the area was not specifically targeted by previous exploration. Updates to Green River Gold Corp.'s website are underway, which will include the Company's proposed lithium exploration plans. Prospective locations for the rock sampling were selected based on the topographic relief and previously mapped outcrops of the surrounding granitic rocks (ARIS 37548 and 39546). The Property is accessible by a well-maintained forest service road. The Project geologist collected both grab and chip samples along the access trails which cover the entire Property. The sample locations are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Rock sample location map. The exploration crew collected 28 rock samples in total. All samples have been delivered to the Company's facility in Quesnel, British Columbia, and tested by a 2023 Sci-Aps X-550 handheld X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. Three main ca...
