[{"type":"text","content":"Selected Rock Grab Samples Assay up to 40.9 g/t Au and 138 g/t Ag at White Metal's Startrek Property, NewfoundlandThunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2019) - White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (\"White Metal\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received assay results from 58 rock grab samples collected from the Startrek Gold-Antimony property (the \"Property\") and submitted to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland. The Property, interpreted to be host to a low-sulphidation epithermal gold system, is located about 20 km west of the town of Gander. The Phase 1 work program is focusing on prospecting and relocating previous trenching and drill hole collar locations, as well as follow up work on numerous gold and antimony showings discovered by previous operator Rubicon Minerals Corp. (2001 to 2005) who referred to the project area as the \"Star Track\".During the current re-sampling and reconnaissance prospecting program there were three northeast-trending zones examined, which the Company has named (from northwest to southeast), the Western Zone, Central Zone, and Eastern Zone. The Western, Central, and Eastern zone trends were previously identified by Rubicon's work program between 2001 and 2004. A fourth new zone, the South Zone, located on Highway 1 about 2.7 km southwest of the south end of the Central Zone, has seen no historical work and is considered a new discovery.Commented Michael Stares, Interim President and CEO of White Metal, \"We are very excited with initial grab sample results from the Startrek property. From what has been observed in the historical Rubicon trenches and from our prospecting traverses, this Property is definitely deserving of a lot more work. The Central Zone, with extensive epithermal veining, is very impressive and no doubt needs to be evaluated for its potential as part of a new epithermal gold system. The Eastern Zone is equally as impressive and also needs more work to determine its potential. The newly discovered South Zone demonstrates that there are areas in the region that have been overlooked, further supporting the Company's belief in the prospective nature of the Property.\"South Zone: this zone is hosted on or near the contact between sedimentary rocks and Devonian age Gander Lake Granite and is described as granite with quartz...
