Cross River Updates Exploration Plans at Its Multi-Project Portfolio, NW Ontario, Canada

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

McVicar Gold Project

Cross River's approximately 11,500-hectare McVicar Gold Project encompasses the recent consolidation of multiple properties that cover the Lang Lake greenstone belt located in the Patricia Mining Division, approximately 150 km east of Red Lake, and 80 km west of Pickle Lake, in NW Ontario, Canada.

Eagle Mapping Ltd. will fly a LiDAR survey of the property as soon as conditions allow. The survey will create a high-resolution topographic map to identify shear zones and structural features. The Company plans to use this data to enhance structural understanding and focus in on the most prospective zones for gold mineralization, to be further assessed in the field.

The Company has also contracted Bayside Geoscience Inc. for targeted field work (prospecting, sampling, delineating known showings) based on technical geological analysis and historical data review. The 4-week program is scheduled to commence in June, after results from the LiDAR survey are received and analyzed.

The field program will focus on high potential structural zones (i.e., Bear Head Fault zone, Altered Zone shear, Lang Lake deposit, and the unexplored Cannon Lake Fault zone). The Cross River technical team will also conduct site visits to assess priority targets during this field work campaign.

In addition to the Bayside field team, the Company has engaged GroundTruth Exploration Inc. for a 2-month Geoprobe Bedrock Interface sampling campaign at McVicar scheduled to begin late July.

The Geoprobe survey will directly follow-up the LiDAR survey and field work. The Geoprobe will be used to rapidly sample bedrock surface through overburden with no environmental impact and maximum efficiency. It will allow the Company to further delineate high priority targets defined by LiDAR and field investigations.

The Geoprobe survey will begin near the Chellow Vein (up to 827 grams-per-tonne gold sampled in quartz veins: McKay, 2003), with the goal of tracing known gold-bearing shear zones along strike and identifying potential for prospective parallel structures.

The Company's data compilation at McVicar has uncovered 1000s of data points from rock samples and historic trenching including assays, alteration, lithology, structural data, and detailed maps from across the property. Additionally, historic drillhole data for almost 200 holes, containing 1000s of assay and logging intervals, is currently being interpreted in Leapfrog to gain a 3-D understanding of targets such as the Altered Zone and Chellow Vein.

"Our exploration plans have been progressing as scheduled," said Alex Klenman, CEO. "The technical team has been hard at work combing through historical data, gaining a complete understanding of all the geological components of McVicar and the other projects. We're now ready to enter the next phase of work, which leads us to field work, and ultimately, drilling. It's all about quality target generation, and the methodical approach taken here gives us what we feel is the most effective roadmap to impactful discovery," continued Mr. Klenman.

Exploration permit applications for the McVicar Gold project have been submitted and are currently in circulation. The Company anticipates receiving necessary approvals by late April.

Uchi Belt and Manitou Properties

Bayside Geoscience has been contracted for targeted field work (prospecting, sampling, delineating known showings) planned to commence in mid-May on the remaining Cross River Ontario properties (Manitou, Shabu, Dent Lake, Maskooch, and Ear Falls). Timing and logistics of these field programs will be determined and announced in the coming weeks. The Cross River technical team will also be conducting site visits to assess priority targets during these field work campaigns.

The Company has completed Phase 1 Technical review and data compilation for these properties. The reviews of historic work revealed an abundance of valuable data and mineralization potential, warranting additional follow-up field work for all of the properties. Initial results will guide future field work. The technical team will be consulting with Bayside geologists to ensure field efficiency and a detailed approach to the field campaigns.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
