(TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) is pleased to report, that further to its release on January 13, 2022, the gold mineralization at the Andrew Zone does extend past the primary sulfide intervals in the drill core. The Company has received its new December 2021 samples back from the lab and is pleased to be reporting longer mineralized intervals at the Andrew Zone South, and Andrew Zone North.
Andrew Zone South
The Company is now reporting significant intervals of:
- 7.4m of 1.64 g/t Au (from 63.1m to 70.5m) at hole CL-21-25, or an increase of approximately 5m to the previously reported interval;
- 2.3m of 1.21 g/t Au (from 53.0m to 55.3m) closer to surface in hole CL-21-25;
- 4.5m of 2.62 g/t Au (from 50.4m to 55.1m) at hole CL-21-24 (which previously reported 3.9m of 2.91 g/t Au);
The updated cross-sections for holes CL-21-24 and CL-21-25 will be available on Rover’s website in the coming days.
Andrew Zone North
The Company is now reporting a significant interval of:
- 6.4m of 1.88 g/t Au (from 37.6m to 44.0m) at hole CL-21-29, or an increase of approximately 3m to the previously reported interval
Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states, “the Andrew Zone has a surface strike length of approximately 800m from south to north, and is open at depth. Follow-up drilling is needed to further delineate this zone at depth.”

Drill core is cut with half sent to ALS Global Laboratories (ALS) for crushing to <2 mm with 250 g split pulverized to -75 µm (200#). ALS is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. A 30g change is fire assayed and analysed using AAS finish for Gold.
True thickness of the intervals reported herein have not been calculated, therefore, all intervals are reported as drill core intervals and should be considered apparent thicknesses. Program gold averages are reported at weighed averages.
