Millrock Reports Operations Update, 64North Gold Project, Alaska

Highlights:

• The planned program of 2,300 meters is nearing completion.
• Assay results from the first two holes have been received; results indicate anomalous gold and pathfinder values; further drilling is required.
• Geophysical surveys and field exploration at the Boundary Prospect, East Pogo Block are in progress and showing interesting targets.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling and other exploration at its 64North Gold project. Exploration work is being funded and managed by Resolution Minerals (“Resolution” ASX: RML) in a collaborative arrangement with Millrock as the project operator. The 64North Gold Project is a very large tract of claims in Alaska’s emerging Goodpaster Gold District. Drilling has been ongoing since early June and continues at present.

The current drilling program is focused on the Aurora, Echo, and Reflection targets, all of which are adjacent to and generally west of the Pogo Mine property, which is owned and operated by Northern Star Resources Ltd. (“Northern Star”). Northern Star has previously reported a gold resource of 5.95 million ounces of gold in a series of veins grading 9.6 grams per tonne gold (Source: Northern Star website). More than four million ounces of gold has already been mined at Pogo and Northern Star has recently announced a new gold discovery called the Goodpaster deposit a short distance away from the mutual claim boundary. Millrock cautions that mineralization on the nearby Northern Star property is not necessarily indicative of gold mineralization hosted on the Company’s property. Presently, Millrock and Resolution are testing the Aurora Target southwest of the Goodpaster deposit held by Northern Star. Northern Star has recently indicated they will devote $21 million to perform delineation drilling at Goodpaster.

Holes 20AU001 and 20AU002 have been previously reported. Holes 20AU003 and 20AU004 are reported in this press release. Holes 20AU005 and 20AU006 have been recently completed and hole 20AU007 is in progress. Hole locations are shown in Figure 1.

Assay Results Hole ID’s 20AU03 and 20AU04
Assays from Aurora drill holes 20AU003 and holes 20AU004 indicate minor gold mineralization as detailed below. The alteration observed in the drill core matched the CSAMT and ZTEM geophysics anomalies. The Company is encouraged by the strong alteration, presence of gold, para-gneiss host rocks, and presence of sulfides indicating the strong fertility of the system.
