VANCOUVER, BC, April 17, 2024 /CNW/ – Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) (“Rokmaster” or “the Company”) provides an update for its 100% owned Selkirk Project.

The Selkirk Project consists of three properties: (a) the Keystone Property; (b) the Downie Gold Property; and (c) the Rift Property located north of Revelstoke in southeastern British Columbia (See Figure 1). These three properties were advanced between 2021 and 2023 with positive results generated from field work which included geological mapping, prospecting, channel sampling, and soil sampling.

The 5,276 hectare Keystone Property is underlain by early Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Index Formation. The northern extension of the mapped Akolkolex Thrust fault occurs within and proximal to the property, providing potential for orogenic-style gold mineralization. During one of the Company’s first visits to the Keystone Property in 2021, a historical trench was found which exposes arsenopyrite mineralization grading 4.51 g/t Au, 274 g/t Ag, and 2.92% Zn in a grab sample. Replacement and vein-hosted sphalerite and galena mineralization has been discovered throughout the large Property during later field work programs collecting grab samples (See Figure 2).

The 1,367 hectare Downie Gold Property covers a package of Index and Aklolkolex Formation rocks situated between the Goldstream Pluton and Long Creek Stock. The Property hosts elevated gold in massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-galena mineralization associated with discordant stockwork veins and silicification in limestone rocks at the KJ Zone. In 2022, channel sample KJ6 returned 7.51 g/t Au, 616.14 g/t Ag, 7.93% Pb, and 1.72 % Zn over 3.50 meters. At the Melt Zone in the western portion of the Downie Gold Property, skarn-style massive pyrrhotite and sphalerite mineralization locally hosts elevated gold proximal to the Goldstream Pluton. In 2023, a grab sample was collected from a 3.0 m wide garnet-diopside skarn horizon assayed 0.36% tungsten which is located the northern limit of the 3.0 km long historically mapped FIM skarn horizon on the east side of the Property. (See Figure 3).    

The 299 hectare Rift Property hosts the Rift Showing where grab samples collected in 2022 assayed up to 35.25% Zn, 8.60% Pb from a stratabound massive sphalerite-galena horizon in pelitic schist. The sulphide mineralization averages 1.0 metre in thickness and is exposed for approximately 25 metres of strike length in the incised creek gully of Rift Creek, before being lost under cover (See Figure 4). Drillhole M-85-2 was completed in 1985 approximately 460 m east of the Rift Showing and encountered 22.21% Zn and 4.82% Pb over 1.82 m and may represent the on-strike continuity of the Rift stratiform zinc-lead massive sulphide horizon¹.

Field work to progress the Selkirk Project is planned for 2024 with a focus to follow-up on the success of the previous programs and to search for additional mineralization. Exploration permits including low-impact helicopter-supported diamond drilling have been applied for on the Keystone and Downie Gold properties in December 2023.

 John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

“Rokmaster plans to continue with our successful track record of finding, expanding, and improving upon mineralized occurrences. The Selkirk Project, a combination of gold and critical metals targets, has shown very favourable results from relatively little field work and we are excited to continue to explore them. Rokmaster remains steadfast in evaluating new opportunities that are suitable for significant technical enhancements.”
