Calgary, Canada – TheNewswire - September 29, 2022 - Crestview Exploration Inc. (CSE:CRS), (Frankfurt:CE7) (“Crestview” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the first round of sampling results for the ongoing mapping and sampling program at the Rock Creek gold project in Elko County, Nevada. The sampling results are very encouraging and demonstrate the widespread nature of the gold and silver signature.
The 2022 sampling to date has been focused on epithermal quartz veins from outcrops across the south and central portion of the Rock Creek property (see Map 1). The results include 18 samples containing greater than 0.1 g/t Au and 4 samples containing economic silver grades. Anomalous gold was ubiquitous in the 44 total samples collected.

A previous press release (dated January 16, 2020) described results from the previous sampling programs undertaken at Rock Creek (included in Map 1), which summarized the previously collected 98 surface samples and highlighted two gold values over 0.5 g/t (0.543 g/t and 0.597 g/t Au) and several samples in the 0.1 g/t to 0.35 g/t Au range.

The Rock Creek gold project is Crestview’s flagship asset, with 74 unpatented lode mining claims wholly owned and controlled by CRS. The Rock Creek property was acquired in 2017, and the company went public in 2019. Emboldened by the results coming out of Rock Creek, Crestview has strategically expanded on the land position with the acquisition of the nearby Divide Mine prospect in April, 2020 and the recent acquisition of the Falcon Mine (September, 2022; see Map 2). Between the three deposits, all targeting similar mineralization and likely the same hydrothermal system, Crestview now holds 196 claims all within 2 kms of one another. These three gold projects (along with the nearby Castile project) are situated in a region with proven “world class” gold deposits (including Midas, Jerritt Canyon, Betze-Post, Meikle, and Gold Quarry), where the potential of finding large, high-grade gold deposits is favorable (see Map 3).

V.P. of Exploration, Justin Lowe, commented that “the sampling results from our Rock Creek property continue to be extremely encouraging. Considered along with the very strong sample results at Divide and the historic production at Falcon, we could be targeting a significant and widespread gold and silver system, and perhaps even greater potential to grow at depth.”
The mapping and sampling efforts are ongoing and will continue to the northern portion of the property. We anticipate having this phase completed by the end of October, with assay results to follow. As a reminder to the reader, this high-resolution mapping and sampling program is being conducted in conjunction with several depth-penetrating CSAMT lines in preparation for a follow-up drill campaign planned for 2023.
