2022 Program
During the summer of 2022, a total of 12,042 m of drilling was completed in 69 holes at Klaza. The work program was designed to advance Klaza towards an updated mineral resource estimate1 and pre-feasibility study by attaining the following objectives: (1) re-categorization of prioritized inferred mineral resources into indicated mineral resources; (2) expansion of the total mineral resource; (3) collection of samples for advanced-stage metallurgical test work; (4) completion of additional geotechnical drilling for optimized open-pit and underground engineering and, (5) evaluation of some of the exploration targets that lie outside of the known mineral resource areas through excavator trenching, soil sampling and prospecting. Based on results received to date, Rockhaven is on track to achieve all objectives.
Drilling completed at the
In addition to the resource definition holes, the 2022 drill program included several geotechnical holes, the data from which will be used for engineering studies that will be an important part of our planned pre-feasibility study. The engineering work includes rock strength testing and slope stability studies, which are essential for optimizing pit shell design. The geotechnical holes were drilled at oblique angles to the mineralized structures, targeting primarily the hanging wall and footwall rocks and not the main mineralized structures. Nevertheless, a few of the geotechnical holes intersected the veins, producing additional assay information that will be used to support planned resource estimation. Of particular note, geotechnical hole KL-22-605 averaged 7.36 g/t gold and 136 g/t silver over 5.70 m and KL-22-622 returned a weighted average grade of 2.85 g/t gold and 41 g/t silver over 33.96 m, with individual assays of 65.8 g/t gold and 182 g/t silver over 1.07 m and 15 g/t gold and 957 g/t silver over 0.93 m, respectively.'

Rockhaven cautions that all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and that actual performance may be affected by a number of material factors, many of which are beyond the control of Rockhaven. Such factors include, among other things: risks and uncertainties relating to exploration and development and the results thereof, including the results of the recently completed drill program, the impact on mineral resource estimates, the potential for new discoveries, and the results of planned metallurgical and geotechnical programs, the advancement of exploration targets, the outcome of the planned prefeasibility study, as well as the ability of Rockhaven to obtain additional financing, the need to comply with environmental and governmental regulations, fluctuations in the prices of commodities, operating hazards and risks, competition and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in Rockhaven's financial statements available under the Rockhaven profile at www.sedar.com.
