[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 13, 2020 /CNW/ - Sassy Resources Corporation (\"Sassy\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: SASY) is pleased to provide the following update on the Westmore high-grade gold-silver target as drilling continues at this new greenfield discovery at the company's 146 sq. km Foremore Project in Northwest B.C.'s prolific Eskay Camp. Highlights: In a 300-meter step-out to the northwest of the initial two drill holes (Oct. 8, 2020 NR), the fourth drill hole at Westmore (WM20-004) has intersected the mafic volcanic hosted 2019 high-grade discovery vein mapped at surface (Sept. 4, 2020 NR) at a vertical depth of 35 meters; Notably, WM20-004, drilled at a shallow angle toward the north in the opposite direction of the first three drill holes, also intersected intrusive hosted quartz stockwork below the volcanics. WM20-004 was completed to a downhole depth of 197 meters with the quartz vein stockwork system interpreted to continue to depth and the north; WM-20-003 (core length 297 meters) was drilled toward the south at a minus 50° angle from a platform 111 meters east of the set-up for the first two holes. This third hole further confirmed continuity to depth and along strike of the extensive vein system mapped at surface (visible gold was also noted in WM-20-003 as in the first two holes); Disseminated pyrite with associated galena and lesser sphalerite were observed in the quartz veins/quartz stockwork in each of the first four drill holes; Mineralization extends into the immediate wall rock at Westmore within an alteration halo that is typically strongly altered, consisting of increased silicification and carbonatization; Preliminary geochemical analyses of initial surface sample results confirmed a strong gold and silver association in addition to a gold with galena association; furthermore, a gold-sphalerite association has also now been recognized; 2020 mapping, prospecting and sampling has expanded the area of exposed surface mineralization at Westmore to 500 meters x 500 meters with 12% (nine) of the first assayed batch of 77 samples returning >20 g/t Au (see table below) with new results as high as 58 g/t Au and 1,481 g/t Ag. Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, stated: \"The advancement of Westmore, never previously drilled or systematically explored, is a credit to the Sassy team who pursued the first ...
