Rover Metals Announces Infill and Delineation of the New Andrew Zone at Cabin Gold, NT, Canada

Rover Metals Announces Infill and Delineation of the New Andrew Zone at Cabin Gold, NT, Canada

Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FRA:4XO) (" Rover " or the " Company ") is pleased to report on the Phase 2 Exploration Program at its 100% owned Cabin Gold Project, NT, Canada . The focus of the Phase 2 Exploration Program was to discover and delineate new gold mineralized zones along the Bugow Iron Formation, the controlling structure for gold at the Cabin Gold Project. The Company is pleased to announce that its exploration program has been able to confirm and expand the historic gold grades at the Andrew South, Andrew Middle, and Andrew North Targets. The expansion includes an increase to the historical average gold grades reported across all of these historic targets. Rover has grouped the north, middle and south bounds of Andrew into a new single Andrew Zone, which extends 800 meters from south to north at surface. The map of the Bugow Iron Formation on the Company's website has been updated to show the location of the new Andrew Zone. The south end of the Andrew Zone is situated roughly 500 meters northeast of the Beaver Zone. The Beaver Zone was featured in the Company's December 7, 2021 release. The Company has now reported on the discovery of three medium-to-high grade mineralized gold zones at Cabin: the Arrow, Beaver, and Andrew Zones, all open at depth, and along strike.

Andrew Zone Expansion

Andrew South

The Company is reporting multiple near-surface medium-to-high grade gold at the newly defined Andrew Zone which extends 800 meters from south to north along the Bugow Iron Formation. Highlights of Phase 2 drilling at Andrew South include: new drill hole CL-21-21 which reported 2.9m of 5.09 g/t Au (from 70.65m to 76.8m), including 2.2m of 6.42 g/t Au and deeper in hole CL-21-21, reporting 4.7m of 3.38 g/t Au (from 88.80m to 94.00m). As of the date of this release, the Company has sent in additional samples for assaying from hole CL-21-21, as the gold mineralization is recognized to extend past the sulfide intervals of the drill core, which is a first for the project. The new assays, once received, will be part of a future updating release, and could extend the reported high-grade gold intervals at the southern part of Andrew. Additional highlights at Andrew include: new hole CL-21-24 which reported 3.9m of 2.91 g/t Au (from 51.00m to 55.12m); new hole CL-21-19 which reported 3.1m of 2.57 g/t Au (from 62.2m to 65.3m) and deeper in hole CL-21-19 reporting 1m of 2.06 g/t Au (from 93.3m to 94.3m); new hole CL-21-20 which reported 0.4m of 6.11 g/t Au (from 90.8m to 91.2m); and new hole CL-21-25 which reported 2.3m of 2.61 g/t Au (from 68.0m to 70.5m). As noted below, in the drill result tables, there are multiple well mineralized drill intercepts at the south part of the Andrew Zone that are reported in additional new holes (see CL-21-22, CL-21-22, CL-21-23 in the tables below). As of the date of this release, the Company has also sent additional samples from hole CL-21-25 to the lab for assaying.

Andrew North
Highlights from drilling at the northern part of the Andrew Zone include new hole CL-21-27 which reported 4.3m of 4.14 g/t Au (from 17.8m to 22.8m); new hole CL-21-29 which reported 3.0m of 3.2 g/t Au (from 37.6m to 40.8m) and multiple additional medium-to-high grade gold intercepts at deeper depth from this same hole, as reported in the drill result tables below. As of the date of this release, the Company has sent additional samples to the lab from hole CL-21-29. Additional highlights include new hole CL-21-28 which reported 3.2m of 1.19 g/t Au (from 38.8m to 42.8m).

The results, both confirm and expand upon, 1980s historical drilling at Andrew, and have returned higher grades than historical results . The historical drill holes and new holes from Andrew South and Andrew North can be referenced in the drill plan views below. A table of significant Andrew Zone drill assay results, greater than 0.5 g/t Au, listed by hole and interval, can be found near the end of this release. For purposes of the calculations of the highlighted intervals in this release, Rover considers results above 0.50 g/t Au to be of significance.

The Company's working hypothesis is that the near surface Andrew Zone extends 800 meters, from south to north. There was significant drilling along the middle of the Andrew Zone in the 1940s. Unfortunately, none of the historical drill records have survived. The Company tested its hypothesis during its Phase 2 Exploration Program, by drilling two drill holes in the centre of the Andrew Zone. As of the date of this release, the Company has sent additional samples from both hole CL-21-30 and CL-21-31 to the lab for assaying as the gold mineralization is recognized to extend past the sulphide intervals in the drill core. The results from Andrew middle will form part of an updating release.

Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states "We are very pleased to have made the discovery of a third significant zone at the Cabin Gold project. In total, there is over 1,000 meters of surface strike length, that is open along strike (Beaver) and at depth (Arrow, Beaver and Andrew), across all defined zones on the project (Arrow, Beaver and Andrew). We expect the 2022 Phase 3 Exploration Program at the Cabin Gold project to focus on the highest grade gold areas of these zones."

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.

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.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
