(TSX-V:RK) (\"Rockhaven\") is pleased to announce assay results from the first 28 holes of the 2017 diamond drill program at its 100% owned Klaza gold-silver property, located in the Dawson Range Gold Belt of southern Yukon. The field program was completed ahead of schedule with a total of 15,922 m in 96 holes. The main objectives of the 2017 program were to: better define and expand the near-surface mineral resources through infill and step-out drilling; explore for new gold zones through drilling, trenching and geophysics; and, continue to advance the metallurgical and engineering facets of the Klaza project. Near surface assay highlights include: 7.57 g/t gold and 65.6 g/t silver over 2.90 m –Hole 366 14.14 g/t gold and 116 g/t silver over 1.93 m – Hole 365 36.90 g/t gold and 1,280 g/t silver over 0.83 m – Hole 341 1.25 g/t gold and 8.74 g/t silver over 14.04 m – Hole 360 6.57 g/t gold and 99.0 g/t silver over 2.22 m – Hole 362 12.65 g/t gold and 419 g/t silver over 1.16 m – Hole 343 14.10 g/t gold and 331 g/t silver over 1.13 m – Hole 344 4.78 g/t gold and 22.7 g/t silver over 2.96 m – Hole 346 3.79 g/t gold and 48.2 g/t silver over 3.78 m – Hole 339 19.50 g/t gold and 554 g/t silver over 0.63 m – Hole 342 3.00 g/t gold and 32.7 g/t silver over 6.98 m – Hole 356 “Enhancing the economics at Klaza is largely dependent on adding ounces amenable to open pit mining and these first holes help demonstrate the consistent nature and extent of the near surface gold mineralization within and adjacent to the Klaza and BRX zones,” stated Matt Turner, Rockhaven’s CEO. “These holes expand the area of mineralization and provide material needed to complete pre-concentration and metallurgical studies.” The majority of the holes announced in this press release are from drilling conducted in the Central Klaza Zone, testing veins located within the zone and in its immediate footwall. All of the holes are situated within or adjacent to the proposed open pit as outlined in a March 1, 2016 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Klaza property.

The near-surface veins within the footwall of the Central Klaza Zone were first systematically tested during a drill progr...
