Rockhaven Commences 10,000 m Drill Program at its Flagship Klaza Gold-Silver Project, Yukon - Seite 2
Exploration Drilling
Exploration drilling is planned at the Rusk and the Western BRX Extension targets. Mineralization at the Rusk Target was discovered by a fence of drill holes in 2020, which spanned a new vein complex located approximately 3km south of the Klaza Deposit. The discovery holes were followed up by ten drill holes in 2021, tracing mineralization in the core of the target over a strike length of 300m. Work in 2022 at this target will further assess the on-strike potential of the main structures.
Drilling at the Western BRX Extension will target the eastern projection of a silver-rich vein discovered in KL-21-492 that returned 1,160g/t silver, 8.4% lead and 5.2% zinc over 0.54m (see press release dated December 15, 2021). Following this discovery, an excavator trench successfully exposed the up-dip projection of this vein, returning 351g/t silver, 9.87% lead and 1.97% zinc across 1.5m. Two holes are planned at this target in 2022.
One exploration hole may also test an undrilled portion of the Kelly porphyry target, which lies to the southeast of the vein system hosting the Klaza Deposit. Following a comprehensive analysis of results from earlier work done in this area, a single hole was recommended based on vectors that include vein styles, lithogeochemical characteristics and geophysical signatures.
Regional Target Evaluations
In addition to the drill program, 2022 work will evaluate four other promising prospects on the Klaza property, which include the Rusk East, Dade, Bear and Sked targets. Depending on the results, these prospects may be drill tested later in the season.

About Rockhaven
Rockhaven Resources Ltd. is a well-funded explorer focused on the exploration and development of its 100%-owned, camp-scale Klaza Property, which hosts the Klaza Deposit and numerous lightly explored exploration targets. The Klaza Deposit has indicated mineral resources of 4.5Mt containing 686,000 oz gold and 14 million oz silver at grades of 4.8g/t gold and 98g/t silver, and inferred mineral resources of 5.7Mt containing 507,000 oz gold and 13.9 million oz silver at grades of 2.8g/t gold and 76g/t silver. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Klaza deposit completed in 2020 returned a Post-Tax NPV(5%) of CAD$378 million and an IRR of 37%, using US$1,450/oz gold and US$17/oz silver (see Klaza Property Technical Report with an effective date of July 10, 2020 and titled, "Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment Update for the Klaza Property, Yukon, Canada." which can be viewed at www.sedar.com under the Rockhaven profile or on the Rockhaven website at www.rockhavenresources.com.).
