Hackberry Silver Project – Phase 1 Drilling Intersects 1.65 metres Grading 667 grams Ag/tonne

Bitterroot Resources (BTT, TSX-V) has completed 1,582 metres of drilling in eight (8) holes at its Hackberry Silver Project in Mohave County, Arizona. This Phase 1 program was the first drill-test of the area adjacent to the main Hackberry Mine’s underground workings and down-dip of the Hackberry South adit.
Maps and cross-sections describing the areas drilled are available on the Company’s website www.bitterrootresources.com. Assay results have been received from the first six (6) holes, which are presented below.

Drilling has confirmed that the Hackberry mineralized trend exhibits good continuity and a consistent pattern of alteration zonation along the 400 metres of strike length which were drill-tested in Phase 1.
The highlight of the drilling completed to date is hole HB-17-06, which intersected 4.87 metres grading 259 grams Ag/tonne (estimated true thickness 3.56 metres), including 1.65 metres grading 667 grams Ag/tonne (estimated true thickness 1.21 metres). This hole intersected the mineralized zone approximately 220 metres below surface.
