Crestview Exploration Inc. announced the results for recent surface sampling at the Rock Creek gold project in Elko County, Nevada. This batch brings the total for the 2022 program at Rock Creek to 97 sample assays received, and one additional sample batch to come. The surface sampling program has demonstrated wide-spread anomalous gold and silver, including 8 samples with greater than 30 g/t Ag, and 2 samples with greater than 0.5 g/t Au. The 2022 sampling focused on epithermal quartz veins exposed in outcrop and historic prospect pits and was undertaken in conjunction with 1:2,000 scale mapping. Samples include both chip and grab, primarily from outcropping quartz veins; chip samples were collected using a rock hammer. Each sample was placed into a tight weave fabric type sample bag and transported to Paragon Geochemical assay lab in Sparks, Nevada. The samples were prepared by Paragon to include drying at 100, crushing to 70% passing 10 mesh, riffle splitting 250g, and pulverizing to 85% passing 200 mesh. Equipment goes through Pre Operation checks for gold contamination. At the beginning of each sample job, wash rock blanks are crushed and pulverized. Every 40 samples is checked for mesh size on the pre-split crushed sample as well as the
pulverized material. The samples were analyzed for gold using a 30g fire assay, and a multi-element suite including silver was analyzed by Aqua Regia and ICP-OES. A prep duplicate (second pulp split from client sample) is run at random every 37 samples. Results are compared to one-another with a precision tolerance generally 20% of each pair's mean. One certified reference standard (CRM) and one internal reference standard (IRM) is analyzed for each rack of 42 positions. Each rack also has a duplicate sample and a blank, resulting in 38 client samples per 42. This News Release was prepared by J.A. Lowe, M.Sc.
