[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:RK) (\"Rockhaven\") is pleased to announce assay results for an additional seven diamond drill holes from the 2017 exploration program at its 100% owned Klaza gold-silver property, located in the Dawson Range Gold Belt of southern Yukon. A total of 15,922 m in 96 holes were completed during the 2017 exploration program. Results from the first 49 holes were released on September 12 and September 26, 2017. Holes in this release are from the Western BRX Zone, where infill drilling in 2017 was designed to better define near-surface mineralization so that inferred resources can be upgraded to indicated resources. Assay highlights from this news release include: 94.09 g/t gold, 545 g/t silver, 2.86% lead and 4.21% zinc over 2.63 m including 196 g/t gold, 608 g/t silver, 1.24% lead and 7.29% zinc over 0.91 m – Hole 401 17.80 g/t gold, 257 g/t silver, 1.28% lead and 1.81% zinc over 6.54 m – Hole 398 30.80 g/t gold, 86.8 g/t silver, 1.19% lead and 0.85% zinc over 2.32 m – Hole 396 9.01 g/t gold, 150 g/t silver, 0.57% lead and 1.68% zinc over 2.53 m – Hole 400 23.90 g/t gold, 222 g/t silver, 3.11% lead and 2.06% zinc over 1.10 m – Hole 397 “The infill drill program at the Western BRX Zone is confirming both the exceptional vein continuity and the high-grade nature of mineralization at one of the premier gold deposits in Yukon,” stated Matt Turner, Rockhaven’s CEO. “All of the results presented in this release are from holes that targeted mineralization less than 100 m vertically below surface but beneath the proposed open pit, as presented in the 2016 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Based on these excellent results it is possible that the envisioned open pit at the Western BRX Zone will be deepened, increasing the proportion of mineral resources extracted from lower-cost, open-pit mining in the first years of operations.” Western BRX Zone The Western BRX Zone currently hosts an inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,368,000 tonnes containing 352,000 oz gold, 5,813,000 oz silver, 39.4 million lbs lead and 42.8 million lbs zinc at an average grade of 8.01 g/t gold, 132 g/t silver, 1.31% lead and 1.42% zinc (See March 1, 2016 Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Rockhaven website (www.rockhavenresources.com).
