RKR Rokmaster Resources Corp

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 5, 2024 /CNW/ - Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update for its 100% owned Selkirk Project.

The Selkirk Project is comprised of three properties: (a) the Keystone Property; (b) the Rift Property; and (c) the Downie Gold Property located north of Revelstoke in southeastern British Columbia (Figure 1). These three properties have been advanced by Rokmaster since 2021 with positive results generated from geological mapping, prospecting, channel sampling, and soil sampling. A field work program was completed in August 2024 on the Keystone Property and the Rift Property. Further encouraging assay results¹ have been returned from the rock and soil samples collected in 2024 and are described below.

The 5,276 hectare Keystone Property is underlain by early Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Index Formation. The northern extension of the mapped Akolkolex Thrust fault occurs within and proximal to the property, providing potential for orogenic-style gold mineralization. During one of the Company's first visits to the Keystone Property in 2021, a historical trench was found which exposes arsenopyrite mineralization grading 4.51 g/t Au, 274 g/t Ag, and 2.92% Zn in a grab sample. Replacement and vein-hosted sphalerite and galena mineralization has been discovered throughout the large property during later field work programs collecting grab samples (Figure 2). The 2024 field work found further high-grade silver, lead, and zinc mineralization with grab samples in two new areas of the property, termed the Western and Eastern Expansion areas, where zones of dense quartz-galena-sphalerite veining is hosted in deformed dolostone.

The 299 hectare Rift Property hosts the Rift Showing where grab samples collected in 2022 assayed up to 35.25% Zn, 8.60% Pb from a stratabound massive sphalerite-galena horizon in pelitic schist. The sulphide mineralization averages 1.0 metre in thickness and is exposed for approximately 25 metres of strike length in the incised creek gully of Rift Creek, before being lost under cover (Figure 3). Drillhole M-85-2 was completed in 1985 approximately 460 m east of the Rift Showing and encountered 22.21% Zn and 4.82% Pb over 1.82 m and may represent the on-strike continuity of the Rift stratiform zinc-lead massive sulphide horizon^2,3. Soil sampling in 2024 tested the eastern continuation of a soil anomaly generated in 2022. Although the soil anomaly was not extended, the results give credence to the theory that the mineralization encountered in drillhole M-85-2 represents a blind extension of the massive sphalerite-galena mineralization outcropping at the Rift Showing.

The third property which was not visited in 2024 but there are plans to return in 2025 is the 1,367 hectare Downie Gold Property which covers a package of Index and Aklolkolex Formation rocks situated between the Goldstream Pluton and Long Creek Stock. The property hosts elevated gold in massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-galena mineralization associated with discordant stockwork veins and silicification in limestone rocks at the KJ Zone. In 2022, channel sample KJ6 returned 7.51 g/t Au, 616.14 g/t Ag, 7.93% Pb, and 1.72 % Zn over 3.50 meters. At the Melt Zone in the western portion of the Downie Gold Property, skarn-style massive pyrrhotite and sphalerite mineralization locally hosts elevated gold proximal to the Goldstream Pluton. In 2023, a grab sample was collected from a 3.0 m wide garnet-diopside skarn horizon assayed 0.36% tungsten which is located the northern limit of the 3.0 km long historically mapped "FIM" skarn horizon on the east side of the Downie Gold Property (Figure 4).

Exploration permits for low-impact helicopter-supported diamond drilling were applied for the Keystone and Downie Gold properties in December 2023. Both permits have now reached the final stages of the permitting process.

John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

"Every time field work is completed on the Selkirk Project, positive results are returned from these underexplored properties.  The 2024 field work was limited due to challenging market conditions but still gathered valuable information including high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization. The metal prices are actively catching up and the Selkirk project remains a fantastic opportunity for the discovery of significant mineralization"
