(TSXV: CRTS) (the \"Company\", or \"Cortus\"), is pleased to announce the results of fieldwork completed over the entirety of its Roberts Creek Project, including high-resolution ground magnetic, gravity, and soil sampling surveys to identify potential Carlin-type alteration and gold mineralization where structural and stratigraphic controls with favorable orientations are projected to extend beneath shallow alluvium.Project Highlights Roberts Creek Project comprises 1,300 hectares (ha) in the highly prospective Gold Bar district of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend in Northeastern Nevada.The Project is along-strike from McEwan's Gold Bar Mine, who's Feasibility Study reported Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources of 493,700 oz Au, Inferred Mineral Resources of 52,100 oz Au, and Proven and Probable Reserves of 304,200 oz Au on February 22, 2021.High-resolution ground magnetic survey indicates that structural and stratigraphic controls on mineralization continue beneath alluvium cover onto the Roberts Creek property (Figure 1).The intersection of inferred structural and stratigraphic boundaries is coincident with a gold-in-soil anomaly measuring 2,000 x 500 metres that remains open to the east and southeast.Gravity survey identified near-surface bedrock beneath alluvium cover, verifying achievable drill depths to test potential structural and stratigraphic controls on mineralization (Figure 2).The Roberts Creek Project is at the drill-ready stage within our targeting matrix and available for acquisition, option or joint venture.Figure 1: The 2020 high-resolution ground magnetic survey and soil sampling program highlight the structural and stratigraphic relationship between Gold Bar deposits and the Roberts Creek Project. Projected faults coincide with the ground magnetic survey and gold-in-soil trends, indicating controls for mineralization and delineating drill targets.To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6646/75420_cortus1enhanced.jpgFigure 2: The 2020 Bouguer Gravity Survey completed over Roberts Creek Project displays the red-yellow-green zones as gravity highs.
