Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2024) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (the "Company" or "Blackrock") is pleased to announce that the Company has exercised its option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% interest in the Tonopah West project ("Tonopah West") pursuant to an option agreement dated February 24, 2020 (the "Option Agreement") between the Company's wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Blackrock Gold Corp., and Nevada Select Royalty, Inc. ("Nevada Select Royalty"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp. Tonopah West consists of 101 patented and 19 unpatented lode mining claims covering mineral rights on approximately 1,380 acres (558.5 hectares) located within the historic Tonopah silver district in the Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada.
Andrew Pollard, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented: "In the four years since we first optioned Tonopah West, it has quickly emerged as one of the best silver discoveries of the decade, cementing its status as the highest-grade undeveloped large silver project in the world1, and we're excited to now complete our acquisition granting us 100% ownership of the property. With title in-hand, we are now squarely in the driver's seat to continue on our mission to quickly de-risk and advance the project through further engineering, hydrologic and metallurgic studies, while pursuing the vast resource expansion potential."
David Garofalo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gold Royalty Corp, commented, "The Blackrock team has delivered significant value with their advancement of the Tonopah West project, which has quickly become one of the most exciting precious metals projects in Nevada. We are encouraged to have continued exposure to the project through our royalty interest, and for Blackrock to continue to deliver on their strategy of unlocking the value of the project."
In connection with the exercise of the Option to acquire Tonopah West, the Company made payments to Nevada Select Royalty totalling US$3 million over a 4-year term, with a final cash payment in the amount of US$1,000,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Nevada Select Royalty retained a net smelter returns royalty (the "Royalty") on Tonopah West equal to 3.0% of the net value of all precious and base metals, products and materials of commercial value mined and removed from Tonopah West and sold by the Company. Under the terms of the royalty agreement (the "NSR Agreement"), the Company is required to pay Nevada Select Royalty an annual advance minimum royalty of US$50,000 (each, an "Advance Royalty Payment") until the earlier of the commencement of commercial production at Tonopah West or the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the effective date of the NSR Agreement. All Advance Royalty Payments made by the Company will be credited towards any future royalty payments to Nevada Select Royalty.
The Royalty also covers 64 unpatented claims staked by the Company in July 2021 which fall within the one (1) mile area of interest delineated by the Option Agreement. Such additional claims cover 1,280 acres (518 hectares) bringing Tonopah West to a total size of 2,660 acres (1076.5 hectares).

Blackrock Silver Announces Silver Cloud Results; Tonopah West Resource Update Timeline
Drilling Update NevadaFollowTSX.V: BRCWebsite
Mr. Andrew Pollard reports:
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2023) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (the "Company" or "Blackrock") reports assay results for its 100% controlled Silver Cloud project ("Silver Cloud") located in north-central Nevada along the Northern Nevada Rift trend.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Intercepts up to 2.24 g/t gold were encountered in banded epithermal quartz veins;
Multiple banded epithermal veins were encountered with drilling confirming the orientation and dip of the epithermal vein structure with a westerly dip; and
The mineral resource update for the Company's Tonopah West project located within the Walker Lane trend in west central Nevada remains on track for completion in October 2023.
The Company completed a core program centered on the Northwest Canyon epithermal vein intercept that encountered 1.52 metres grading 70 g/t gold and 600 g/t silver in its 2022 drill program (see January 17, 2023 news release). The 2023 drill program consisted of five core holes totalling 1,827 metres.
The drilling showed the epithermal vein system has a strike with azimuth of 340 degrees and a dip of 60 degrees to the west. The vein structure shows a much shallower dip than originally thought and drillholes were not in the optimum location for the shallow westerly dip. Several permitted sites were not drilled as a result.
Gold and minor silver mineralization was encountered in drillholes SBC23-025 and -026. These holes were 25-metre and 100-metre step-outs located north from the original high grade bonanza intercept. While the strike and dip of the vein is better understood, the orientation of the high-grade gold and silver is not. Table 1 shows assay results above 0.2 g/t gold.
Andrew Pollard, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "As we await completion of our updated mineral resource estimate for our flagship Tonopah West project, which remains on track for October, the results from our targeted follow-up campaign at Silver Cloud continue to refine our understanding of the geologic controls of the mineralized system at the Northwest Canyon target. Though we have a good understanding of the strike and orientation of the structure, we have not yet been able to replicate the grades seen in SBC-22-20. A review of the down-hole geochemical data is underway to better pinpoint where the high-grade system is localize."

I am looking for news....I am sure they are holding up news to get out of summer..
Government rating down to AA...
Gold and silver will rally and M&A will put us in a buyout position
M&A will ramp up this fall. 43-101 update this fall. VERY BULLISH
I still think it is too quiet.
They should be in talks to sell now
Stock Performance @ Blackrock has been dismal considering the nice assets and investors involved here. Huge disappointment for such a nice play. I am holding for the LONG HAUL and Remain BULLISH.
Lithium deal will help...we are in the final stages for shorts. That is the pressure. ALOT of people are going into cash so that is also pressure. I am doubling down
DOUBLE DOWN 3 03.2023
Million dollar question....next step...prove more and SELL
Not to be negative, really, but does anybody know when they will move from drilling to the next step? Thanks.
New great valuation!!! Time to buy this out....
The more the value goes up the higher the buyout!!!
Tearlach....even higher grades of lithium. This is more $$$ for Blackrock less dilution and more people.,.Eric Sprott huge investor and he just invested $3 million plus on adjacent property at SUMMA
Your tomorrows' next day - BOOM up 20 pct ? - Side Channel Breakout
Why ?.....Can't help wondering......* see below
Aprox. a year ago
Today - Up 20 percent
WHY ? https://ceo.ca/brc?69d78ff92dcd
If this plays out, then BRC would have 30% interest in an American Lithium type company: https://ceo.ca/@globenewswire/american-lithium-confirms-994-purity-lithium-carbonate. The BRC property is adjacent to American Lithium with what looks like the same resource. From what I can tell this lithium asset has an upside of several multiples of the current market cap. The lithium is close to the surface with easy access. I loaded up on BRC due to the lithium. This agreement with Tearlach is a big deal. The market cap of American Lithium is about C$600M. All Tearlach needs to do is follow what American Lithium has done. BRC is now a lithium explorer / developer as well as silver and gold explorer. Well done by management.
See also the 35:30 mark here (but listen to the intro as well re: Golden Crossovers)
So much value in the ground. A buyout will eventually happen ..
Right now ALOT of shorts
SUMMA next door has common veins and Eric Sprott is invested in both

Blackrock Silver Advances District-scale Targets On The Newly Staked Tonopah North Property
Blackrock Silver Advances District-scale Targets On The Newly Staked Tonopah North Property
"The Tonopah North project consists of unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 20 square kilometres north and west of the Tonopah West DPB resource area. The claims had been staked to cover the western margin of the recently identified Tonopah Caldera."
..."The caldera margin is an important foci for mineralization on the Tonopah West project. Detailed mapping and interpretation shows the caldera margin is buried beneath younger volcanic rocks and gravel. A specific unit called the Siebert Tuff outcrops along the margin of the caldera. These tuffaceous sediments and volcanic tuff form a unit classified as moat sediments that occur in close proximity to the margin of the caldera.
Mapping and a gravity geophysical survey show the caldera is east-west at the Tonopah West project and swings northwest then north and finally eastward. The configuration of the caldera is paramount to finding new veins in the district and two distinctive high-priority targets have emerged.
The first target is along the western edge of the Tonopah Caldera where a large northwest fault system appears to offset the caldera rim. The structure appears to be the strike extension of the Pittsburg-Monarch fault system (PMFS) which controls thick veins in the Victor and Ohio areas of the Tonopah West project. At Victor, the vein was 24 metres thick at the intersection with the PMFS. Similarly, the Ohio vein was 14 metres thick where it intersected the PMFS.
The target is compelling in that a new area under the pediment gravels may host another Victor or Ohio vein set. Additional exploration work is being planned to include CSAMT and scout drilling.
The second exciting target is on the north side of the Tonopah Caldera where a strong east-west structural fabric has been mapped and regional magnetic data show a strong east-west structural domain. The geologic setting for the second target is very similar to the Tonopah district itself. The Tonopah North property covers the area which has roughly the same strike as the existing Tonopah silver district. More work is justified as the prize could be a second Tonopah-sized district located beneath post mineral cover and pediment gravels."

Looks like Caldera theory on existing regional Blackrock Silver Corporation properties is valid - Based on Blackrock Intersects Denver Vein One Kilometre Northwest Of The DPB Resource Area In Step-out Drillhole At Tonopah.
"...confirms our geologic interpretation that the vein field that makes up the Tonopah Silver District hugs the margins of a caldera, and juts northwestward towards our newly-staked Tonopah North claims package."

LONG SINCE .30 AND HAPPY.[color=red][/color]
Thanks Sooth, looking good at a buck here. Wish I had more, I think Blackrock is getting kinda pricey now considering they still havent delivered. I mean their drill results are pretty incredible though but still.
I learned about those gold stocks from one of your posts, mm mark to you and a thank you.
Yeah that's how aim playing it too. My largest position is also GPL .
Why would someone invest 5 million at a price of .80 a share just for a small percentage gain? I see this surpassing $1
1000 is a heck of a lot better than 0! I have a basket of these gold miners and not heavy in any of them except GPL.
1000 is a heck of a lot better than 0! I have a basket of these gold miners and not heavy in any of them except GPL.
Perfect time for silver to spike when we are getting ready for resource estimate...
I see a Buyout ....
We don't want to be a producer.
10 bagger?
How much do you think this property will go for ????
Wish I had more than a measly 1000 shares of this !
