[{"type":"text","content":"Rockhaven Discovers New Epithermal Vein Complex at Its Klaza Gold-Silver Project, YukonVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 13, 2021 / Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSXV:RK) (\"Rockhaven\") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new vein complex at its 100%-owned and road accessible Klaza property, located in the Dawson Range Gold Belt of southern Yukon. The discovery was made through reconnaissance drilling at the Rusk Target, a 2.6 sq km multi-element soil geochemical anomaly located three kilometres south of Rockhaven's Klaza Deposit. An updated PEA completed on the Klaza Deposit outlined robust economics at US$1450/oz gold and US$17/oz silver (see Rockhaven Press Release dated July 13, 2020).\"The discovery of an entirely new vein system in a previously undrilled area is a game-changer and demonstrates the exceptional exploration potential at Klaza,\" stated Matt Turner, Rockhaven's President and CEO. \"Systematic drilling of the relatively close-spaced Rusk veins should rapidly build on the known gold and silver resources already established on the property.\"Assay highlights from separate veins include:16.35 g/t gold, 321 g/t silver, 1.98% lead and 1.01% zinc over 0.63 m 16.15 g/t gold, 581 g/t silver, 2.06% lead and 1.26% zinc over 0.50 m 2.10 g/t gold, 657 g/t silver, 12.98% lead and 6.17% zinc over 1.00 m2.05 g/t gold, 129 g/t silver, 2.29% lead and 4.67% zinc over 5.65 m4.43 g/t gold, 1230 g/t silver, 0.51% lead and 0.41% zinc over 0.70 m1.42 g/t gold, 30.7 g/t silver, 0.48% lead and 0.60% zinc over 9.80 m7.08 g/t gold, 884 g/t silver, 5.37% lead and 5.79% zinc over 0.50 mRusk TargetA fence of ten drill holes was completed at the Rusk Target with eight of the ten holes reaching target depth. The Rusk Target is located 3 km south of the Klaza Deposit and hosts a 2.6 sq km, highly elevated arsenic-in-soil anomaly that is transected by linear magnetic lows and VLF-EM conductors, similar to those marking the main mineralized zones that comprise the Klaza Deposit. Additionally, this target is adjacent to the largest placer gold mine in the Mount Nansen Gold Camp. The fence was designed to assess the potential for this area which had previously never been drill tested.Mineralized vein zones intersected at the Rusk Target consist of galena, sphalerite, pyrite and arsenopyrite hosted in a quartz-carbonate gangue. All veins are ...
