[{"type":"text","content":" Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2023) - Green River Gold Corp. (CSE: CCR) (OTC Pink: CCRRF) (the \"Company\" or \"Green River\") is pleased to announce the preliminary results for drill hole WK-23-01 on its 100%-owned Quesnel Nickel Project, located 40 kilometers east by road, from Quesnel, British Columbia, in the prolific Cariboo Mining District in South Central British Columbia, Canada. The Company completed the first Winkie drill hole (WK-23-01) for the 2023 season, which ended at a depth of 120.9 meters. Drilling was halted at this depth due to difficult rock conditions. Drill hole WK-23-01 was drilled approximately 900 meters southeast of Zone 1, between Zone 1 and Zone 2 (Figure 2 shows the drill collar location). A strong serpentinized alteration zone was intersected from 47.4 meters to 50.8 meters. The strong alteration zone is highlighted red in the WK-23-01 cross-section (see Figure 1). The alteration zone shows a yellowish-green colour and associated disseminated sulphides. Semi-massive sulphides along a narrow quartz vein were noticed at a depth of 48.6 meters. The semi-massive sulphides contain pyrite, sphalerite, galena and highly magnetic pyrrhotite. The XRF scanning on the semi-massive sulphides returned high gold, zinc, lead, and cobalt anomalies. Core samples are being sent immediately for assay. The project geologist Tyler Tian comments,\" With the anomaly of gold, zinc, cobalt, and lead, we believe this drill hole is close to a potential local source of gold, silver, lead, and zinc metallic vein system filled by hydrothermal fluids through the neighbouring Eureka Thrust Fault. We look forward to seeing more of this type of vein in core and bringing more variety to the project.\" The primary host rock for this hole is the ultramafic rock, peridotite, belonging to the Slide Mountain Terrane (Crooked Amphibolite), which contains consistent grades of nickel, cobalt, magnesium, and chromium in all previous drill holes. The drill core was delivered to the Company's facility in Quesnel and was scanned with an XRF analyzer. From the surface to 120.9 meters, the XRF scanned every 10 cm on the drill core and results averaged 0.194% nickel, 0.0157% cobalt, 0.195% chromium and 22.47% magnesium. The XRF results for all four minerals are quite consistent with the assay and XRF results from the previous 42 ho...
