(TSXV: CRTS) (the \"Company\", or \"Cortus\"), is pleased to announce the geochemical results of an Ionic Leach soil survey at its 100% owned Roberts Creek project in Eureka County, Nevada, USA. The 23 line-kilometer survey added 201 samples collected at 120 m intervals with 300 m line spacing to extend the existing soil sample grid to a collective total of 558 samples covering the entire property. The combined results have outlined several extensive zones anomalous in gold and Carlin-type pathfinder elements. An anomalous gold zone coincides with projected fault structures, emphasizing the relationship between the Gold Bar deposits and Roberts Creek Project.Cortus CEO, Sean Mager commented, \"The 2021 soil geochemistry assay results overlaying the 2020 high-resolution ground magnetic survey indicate favorable structural, stratigraphic, and geochemical relationships. ALS Global's Ionic Leach technique provides exceptionally low detection limits providing better background levels for key elements in the soils and is a cutting-edge tool for identifying mineralization and associated alteration through cover. There is a defined contrast between higher gold values in projected fault zones and lower gold values in the background alluvium, giving a strong indication that these structures are mineralized at depth.\"Figure 1: 2021 soil geochemistry superimposed over 2020 ground magnetic surveyTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6646/93364_1172c7bd14c4684f_001full.jpgProject Highlights Roberts Creek Project comprises 1,300 hectares (ha) in the highly prospective Gold Bar district of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend in Southern Nevada.The project is situated along strike from McEwan's Gold Bar deposits, which reported a measured and indicated resource of 499,000oz Au and reserve of 302,000oz Au in 2020*.Gold-in-soil anomalies are coincident with arsenic, mercury, and antimony common pathfinder elements in Nevada Carlin-type deposits. High-resolution ground magnetic survey indicates that structural and stratigraphic controls on mineralization continue beneath alluvium cover onto the Roberts Creek property...
