Rover obtains Winter Access Road Permit to Cabin Lake Gold Property and Mobilizes for Winter Exploration

Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE: 4XO) (" Rover " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has obtained an amendment to its exploration land use permit at its Cabin Lake Gold Property to allow for winter road access (the "Cabin Lake Access Road"). The amendment allows for winter road access off of Highway NT3, at the town of Behchoko, NT, directly to site. The First Nations Tlicho Government, in additional to the territorial government and regulatory water board, were all approving parties to the permit amendment and access agreement. Use of the Cabin Lake Access Road will extend to July 19, 2023 (extendable for an additional two years thereafter) and will materially decrease the Company's winter exploration costs (see below). Upon receipt of the good news, the Company has now made plans to immediately mobilize its winter exploration equipment to Cabin Lake, and it anticipates commencing exploration drilling in early March (see below).

Judson Culter, CEO at Rover, states, "The Cabin Lake Access Road is a huge win and a stepping-stone for the Company and its stakeholders. The access road will reduce the Company's all-in diamond drilling costs by approximately 35% moving forward, and allow it to maximize stakeholder value. The access road also opens the door to other future opportunities such as potential access to mills and mining operations in the area. Cabin Lake is situated 120km from the city of Yellowknife."

Winter Exploration Plans for Cabin Lake Gold Property
On September 8, 2020, Rover kicked-off its first exploration drilling program the Cabin Lake Gold Property . The exploration program included both confirmation and expansion drilling of historical high grade gold drill intercepts in the Bugow "Cabin Lake Gold Zone." Rover's expansion drilling included the discovery of what it believes to be a primary gold bearing ore shoot at the Cabin Lake Gold Zone (see Figure 1 below). As released on November 24, 2020 , drill hole CL-20-08 intersected 32 meters of continuous gold averaging 13.6 grams per ton Au . The significance of hole CL-20-08 is that economic gold grades start at just 17.5 meters from surface, and the hole has identified a northwest trend and a plunge at depth, of the gold mineralization in the ore shoot zone. Hole CL-20-08 also intersected and confirmed historic holes DDH86-12 (15.77 g/t Au over 8.02m) and DDH86-28 (11.74 g/t Au over 16.0m). Rover believes the ore shoot is open at depth and along strike.

Rover's September 2020 drill program was the initial step towards confirming and expanding the historic 100,000 tons at 0.30 Oz/ton Au* Bugow historic resource estimate towards a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate. Historic drill intersects reported in the Bugow Cabin Lake Gold Zone also include reported holes DDH 86-13 of 14.23 g/t Au over 6.1m; and DDH 86-10 with 10.84 g/t Au over 10.0m.

Starting in March 2021, the Company plans to drill the Cabin Lake Gold Zone ore shoot at depth, as well as several other brownfields targets that exist along the Bugow Iron Formation (for example, the Andrew North Zone, the Andrew South Zone, and the Beaver Zone – all part of the Cabin Lake Property). The Company currently has identified at least 12 targets as potential new ore shoot discoveries on the property. This is an initial release. More details in terms of exact start date, planned meterage and drilling budget will be released in the coming weeks.

(*) As per Section 2.4 of NI 43-101, Aber Resources Ltd. reported a mineral inventory (that does not compare to the current CIM Definitions Standards mineral resource categories) of 100,000 tons at 0.30 ounces per ton gold at the Cabin Lake Gold zone on the north limb of the folded Bugow Iron Formation in their 1986 and 1987 annual reports. The parameters used for the resource calculation are unknown. These results are relevant as to delineate a larger zone of gold mineralization at the Cabin Lake Gold Zone, but further drilling is needed to bring that up to CIM Definition Standards. The reader is cautioned that a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and Rover Metals is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources. Technical information in this news release has been approved by Raul Sanabria, M.Sc., P.Geo., Technical Advisor and shareholder of Rover Metals Corp. and a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

Overview

For over 150 years, gold mining has been a significant industry in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Past-producing mines like the Con and Giant mines near Yellowknife produced approximately 12 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 14 grams per ton Au over a mine-life of close to 70 years. The Lupin gold mine produced approximately 3.5 million ounces of gold averaging 12 grams per ton from its iron formation hosted gold. Nighthawk Gold has reported a current gold resource in its banded iron formation of approximately 2.1MM ounces Au. As the territory generates more investor attention to its mineral-rich landscape, revitalized gold exploration in this region could reach these historic scales once again.

Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV:ROVR,OTCQB:ROVMF,FWB:4XO) is currently developing the gold potential of its flagship Cabin Gold project near Yellowknife.

The Cabin Gold project and Up Town Gold property are Rover Metal’s highly prospective assets. The Yellowknife jurisdiction hosts world-class gold deposits, existing infrastructure and supportive mining relations with local government bodies. The projects also leverage accessible roadways and strategic positioning near the Tłı̨chǫ All-Season Road Project.

Rover Metals has 100 percent ownership interest in the Cabin Gold group of gold exploration projects. Since Cabin Gold’s acquisition in 2018, Rover has been quick to advance the project’s exploration and development, including obtaining exploration permits and completing extensive geophysics and drill programs, and most recently a winter access road (including ice road component) to decrease the company’s exploration operating costs by approximately 35 percent.

The Cabin Gold project consists of multiple near-surface and drill-ready brownfield gold targets. Exploration plans in early 2021 include a 3,000 meter drilling program expansion at Cabin Gold for approximately C$2 million. Rover’s expansion drilling will include expanding on the discovery of what it believes to be a primary gold bearing ore shoot at the Cabin Lake Gold Zone. As released on November 24, 2020, drill hole CL-20-08 intersected 32 meters of continuous gold averaging 13.6 grams per ton Au. The significance of hole CL-20-08 is that economic gold grades start at just 17.5 meters from surface, and the hole has identified a northwest trend and plunge at depth, of the gold mineralization in the ore shoot zone. Starting in March 2021, the Company plans to drill the Cabin Gold Zone ore shoot at depth, as well as several other brownfields targets that exist along the Bugow Iron Formation (for example, the Andrew North Zone, the Andrew South Zone, and the Beaver Zone – all part of the Cabin Gold Property). The Company currently has identified at least 12 targets as potential new ore shoot discoveries on the property.

The Up Town Gold property covers 11 gold showings over two corridors of structurally hosted high-grade gold mineralization and shear zoning, which also hosts the famous Giant Mine deposit. In December 2020, Rover Metals entered into a definitive agreement to option off 75 percent ownership interest in the gold project. Rover Metals will retain a 25 percent ownership in the Up Town Gold property.

Rover Metals’ management team includes experts in international finance, mine exploration and project development. Years of experience primes the company for high-grade gold discovery and successful project advancement.

  • There remains three at surface proven historic brownfields gold zones at Cabin Gold that are still to be drill tested by Rover, as well as at least 9 other high-quality greenfields targets.

Rover Metals’ Key Projects

Cabin Gold Project

The Cabin Gold property includes Cabin Gold, Camp Gold and Slemon Gold properties for a total land package of 1,503 hectares. Located near the Tłı̨chǫ all-season roadway, the asset also leverages multiple access points, including boat and air transportation.

Rover Metals’ 2018 geophysics identified three folding interference phases with multiple gold and quartz mineralization zones on the property.

Immediate plans for Cabin Gold include continued drilling to expand potential gold targets and bringing the project’s resources to market by Q1-2021. The company currently sits in an advantageous early-stage position to leverage entry-level investment and engage in necessary permitting processes, including valuable ice road access acquisition.

Up Town Gold Property

Up Town consists of six claims covering 3,227 hectares, strategically positioned along the west side of the Giant mine near downtown Yellowknife and TerraX Minerals’ Yellowknife City gold property.

Up Town covers 11 gold showings with structurally hosted high-grade gold mineralization similar to the Giant mine deposit. Grab samples from the main Fox South Shear zone have assayed up to 30.3 g/t gold with additional channel sample results showing up to 1.1 meters at 2.2 g/t gold.

Rover Metals has conducted extensive groundwork on the Up Town Gold property. A 2017 summer diamond drilling program confirmed previous known mineralized zones and expanded exploration of these mineralized zones along strike and to depth. Further advancement of the project presents exciting opportunities for significant gold discovery and target expansion.

Rover Metals retains a 25 percent ownership in the Up Town Gold property.

Hand labeled "BRICS" cutting paper money with scissors.

How Would a New BRICS Currency Affect the US Dollar?

The BRICS nations, originally composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, have had many discussions about establishing a new reserve currency backed by a basket of their respective currencies.

A BRICS currency was a topic at the 2024 BRICS Summit that took place October 22 to 24 in Kazan, Russia. At the summit, the BRICS nations continued their discussions of creating a potentially gold-backed currency, known as the "Unit," as an alternative to the US dollar.

At the 2024 BRICS summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared on stage holding what appeared as a prototype of a possible BRICS banknote. However, he seemed to back away from previous aggressive calls for de-dollarization, stating the goal of the BRICS member nations is not to move away from the US dollar-dominated SWIFT platform, but rather to deter the "weaponization" of the US dollar by developing alternative systems for using local currencies in financial transactions between BRICS countries and with trading partners.

"We are not refusing, not fighting the dollar, but if they don't let us work with it, what can we do? We then have to look for other alternatives, which is happening," he stated.

The potential BRICS currency would allow these nations to assert their economic independence while competing with the existing international financial system. The current system is dominated by the US dollar, which accounts for about 90 percent of all currency trading. Until recently, nearly 100 percent of oil trading was conducted in US dollars; however, in 2023, one-fifth of oil trades were reportedly made using non-US dollar currencies.
