Millrock Provides Update on 64North Gold Project
25 February 2023 - 12:30AM
Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or
the “Company”) reports on advancements at the 64North gold
exploration project. The project is the subject of an earn-in
agreement whereby Resolution Minerals Limited (ASX: RML)
(“Resolution”) has been earning a joint venture interest from
Millrock.
Earned Interest:Resolution has completed the
requirements to earn a 51% interest in the project, and this
interest has been recorded. Resolution has exceeded the Year 3
exploration expenditure requirement of US$2.5 million and has spent
a total exceeding US$9.0 million on exploration. Resolution has
recently paid Millrock US$100,000, and issued a further share
payment of 10 million RML shares to Millrock. Millrock now owns 33
million Resolution shares. Resolution has indicated it does not
intend to exercise its option to continue sole-funding exploration
on the project to further increase its ownership interest. A 51%
Resolution – 49% Millrock joint venture is to be formed. The terms
of the December 2019 agreement can be viewed at this link:
Definitive Exploration Agreement.
New East Pogo Drill Targets Identified:As a
result of the 2022 regional work, new compelling drill targets have
been identified at the Miranda and Boundary prospects in the East
Pogo block of the project area. Four ELF (Extremely Low Frequency)
electromagnetic geophysical survey lines and a surface soil
geochemical grid were completed during the 2022 season in order to
refine the model for the mineralized system in the area. The
updated model suggests the source of mineralizing fluid is related
to discrete magnetic intrusions at depth. Multiple intrusions occur
within the dilatational zone associated with the previously
identified shear package. The new model indicates previous drilling
in the area did not achieve depths needed to test the prospective
shear. Deeper drilling will be required to test the full thickness
of the shear rock package. However, a shallower, undrilled target
has also been outlined. Resolution has reported further details in
their February 23, 2023 press release.
