(TSXV: FVAN) (OTCQX: FVANF) (FSE: 1PY) (\"First Vanadium\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide a regional gravity survey as support for the high-grade gold target identified by Dave Mathewson and announced November 12, 2019 on its Carlin Vanadium Project, 6 miles south of Carlin, Nevada. Many north-central Nevada Carlin-type gold mines and deposits are associated with gravity highs. Because of this, gravity surveys (a geophysical technique) have proven to be a paramount targeting tool for gold deposits in Nevada. The association of gravity highs with gold mines and deposits is visually striking in the accompanying figures encompassing the vicinity of the Carlin Vanadium Property, within the southern portion of the Carlin Gold Trend. The figure on the left is the regional structural interpretation by Mr. Mathewson showing north-south and west-northwest trending structures. Many gold mines and deposits fall along the identified structures such as with the Emigrant mine, North Bullion and Pinion deposits and the string of deposits/mines along the Rain fault (Rain, Tess, Saddle). The figure to the right, at the same scale, shows those same structures, mines and deposits, superimposed on a regional gravity map. What becomes very evident is the coincidence of the linear gravity high (red/purple colours) with these structures that host gold mines/deposits. The 9-mile north trending structure that cuts through the Carlin Vanadium Property also demonstrates a similar coincident gravity high in the figures. The Company's Carlin Vanadium Project covers 2 miles of the 9-mile long structure.Image 1: Structural interpretation and gravity maps To view an enhanced version of Image 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/3372/50846_firstvan.jpgMr. Dave Mathewson, renowned Carlin Gold Trend specialist and geological advisor to First Vanadium, interpreted the Carlin-style high-grade gold target at depth on the Carlin Vanadium Project (see news release dated November 12, 2019) based on a number of factors; his familiarity with the area, structure, regional gravity data, and mineralized and altered rock exposures and inter...
