Cross River Defines New Surface Trend at McVicar Project; Assays Select Grab Samples up to 19.75 g/t Au

Cross River Ventures Corp. (CSE: CRVC) (FSE: C6R) (the "Company") is pleased to update shareholders on the progress of the 2021 exploration work at its portfolio of gold projects, located in NW Ontario, Canada.

Phase 1 field work is now complete on all properties. Sample assay results at the 12,000-ha McVicar Gold Project have now outlined a new, approximately 700m long, mineralized trend south of the Chellow Vein. This trend, which is open in all directions, will now be called the "Bear Head Trend".

A team of four personnel, contracted by Bayside Geoscience of Thunder Bay Ontario, recently completed a 28-day field program at the McVicar. The team conducted prospecting and mapping around areas of historic gold ("Au") mineralization in the Chellow Vein, AGM Zone and Altered Zone areas. Additionally, the crew investigated interpreted structural targets across the property. A total of 354 grab samples were collected during the program with six grab samples returning values of greater than 1 gram-per-tonne "(g/t") Au as summarized in the following table:

Sample IDEastingNorthingTarget AreaAu (g/t)
B7311546074415710259Bearhead Fault Zone19.75
B7312726073465710872Chellow Vein19.75
B7311016073565710874Point Showing6.63
B7311666071835713343Chellow Vein6.45
B7316535961625715329Lang Lake1.67
B7312816070405710285Bearhead Fault Zone1.415

 

Of these samples, two confirmatory samples taken from the Chellow Vein returned 19.75 g/t Au and 6.63 g/t Au from stripped outcrops. These samples demonstrate the high grade of the Chellow Vein, and they are consistent with sampling completed by previous operators.

Two samples taken from approximately 600m south of the Chellow Vein, which returned values of 19.75 g/t Au and 1.415 g/t Au respectively, represent new surface discoveries of Au mineralization at McVicar. These samples were collected from a sheared and silicified mafic volcanic that contained 1-10cm wide smokey-blue quart veins. The samples lie proximal to the southern contact between mafic volcanics and granites along the Bearhead Fault Zone (Map 2).

Follow up exploration programs will focus on the Bearhead Fault Zone to better define the extent, width, and grade of Au mineralization.

A single grab sample returned 1.67 g/t Au within a sericite and silica altered intermediate volcanic rock within the northeast extent of the Bearhead Fault Zone. No previous sampling in the area returned Au mineralization. Further work will be required to determine the significance of this sample in the context of the Bearhead Fault Zone mineralized system.

One grab sample from a quartz-carbonate vein located near the historic "Point Showing" returned 6.45 g/t Au. The vein is observed to be up to 10cm wide and is hosted within weakly sheared gabbro related to the McVicar Lake Stock.

Data Verification, Sampling Procedures & QA/QC

Rock samples were collected by field personnel utilizing rock hammers and placed into poly bags labelled with a unique station ID and sample number. Field personnel recorded sample information in a digital data collector and recorded GPS coordinates, geological observations, and photographs at each sample location.

Field standards and blanks were inserted into the sample stream every 25th sample, alternating between standard and blank. All standards and blanks reported in the ALS analytical certificates and all field standard and blank QA/QC samples were within acceptable values.

Samples were transported by Bayside personnel to the ALS Chemex preparation laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. ALS then ships sample pulps to ALS Chemex Vancouver for analysis. Au values were determined via fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. Any Au samples that were above the detection limits for this method were analyzed via fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Major and trace element geochemistry was analyzed via Aqua Regia digest followed by an ICP-MS finish.

* Note: Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the average grade or style of mineralization but will be used to help guide additional exploration on the properties.

Historical assay results contained in this press release were not verified by the Company, however, the historical reports referenced were authored by experienced geoscientists and copies of laboratory assay sheets were commonly inserted in the reports.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Rises, Trump Talks Tariffs, Trudeau Resigns

Gold was on the rise during the first full week of the new year, with futures ending above US$2,715 per ounce.

The yellow metal is seeing support from a variety of factors, including turmoil related to incoming US President Donald Trump. CNN reported on Wednesday (January 8) that Trump is considering declaring a national economic emergency in order to legally justify a wide-ranging set of tariffs on both ally and adversary countries.

Trump's team hasn't confirmed this plan, but it would allow him to build a tariff program via the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA), which gives the president the ability to manage imports during a national emergency.
