[{"type":"text","content":"Searchlight Resources Samples up to 19.31 gram/tonne Gold at Robinson Creek Gold Target in SaskatchewanVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 7, 2021 / Searchlight Resources Inc. (\"Searchlight\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:SCLT) (OTC:CNYCF) (FSE:2CC2) is pleased to announce the results of outcrop samples collected during preliminary field work visits to the Robinson Creek Gold Project, located approximately 15 kilometres west of Creighton, Saskatchewan, in the historic Flin Flon mining camp.Outcrop samples verify high gold values in surface outcropsGreater than 10 g/t Au from Quartz, Bleiler and Vein zones40% of outcrop samples greater than 0.5 g/t AuDuring the 2021 summer field season, a geological team completed an initial site visit to the Robinson Creek project to sample and confirm the surface locations of the Vein, Bleiler, and Quartz Zones. During the program, a total of 60 outcrop samples and 12 soil samples were collected. Selected outcrop samples are shown in Table 1. Results show multiple samples with greater than 10 g/t Au from all three zones, and over 40% of outcrop samples with greater than 0.5 g/t Au (Map 1).\"These are excellent first results from our new Robinson Creek project indicating high grade gold from surface outcrops from all known zones\", stated Stephen Wallace, Searchlight's CEO. \"These results will assist future mapping, trenching and drill planning\".Concurrent with the field work, Airborne Triaxial Magnetic Gradiometer and Lidar surveys were carried out over the entire Robinson Creek property. The results of these airborne surveys along with further results from the field work are expected to be received in October. In addition, detailed compilation of the 70 drill holes at Robinson Creek is underway, and will be used along with the geophysical data for drill planning on this project.Table 1.
