Vancouver - Cross River Ventures Corp. (CSE: CRVC) (FSE: C6R) (the 'Company') is pleased to update shareholders on the progress of the 2021 exploration work at its portfolio of gold projects, located in NW Ontario, Canada.

Phase 1 field work is now complete on all properties. Sample assay results at the 12,000-ha McVicar Gold Project have now outlined a new, approximately 700m long, mineralized trend south of the Chellow Vein. This trend, which is open in all directions, will now be called the 'Bear Head Trend'.

A team of four personnel, contracted by Bayside Geoscience of Thunder Bay Ontario, recently completed a 28-day field program at the McVicar. The team conducted prospecting and mapping around areas of historic gold ('Au') mineralization in the Chellow Vein, AGM Zone and Altered Zone areas. Additionally, the crew investigated interpreted structural targets across the property.

Data Verification, Sampling Procedures & QA/QC

Rock samples were collected by field personnel utilizing rock hammers and placed into poly bags labelled with a unique station ID and sample number. Field personnel recorded sample information in a digital data collector and recorded GPS coordinates, geological observations, and photographs at each sample location.

Field standards and blanks were inserted into the sample stream every 25th sample, alternating between standard and blank. All standards and blanks reported in the ALS analytical certificates and all field standard and blank QA/QC samples were within acceptable values.

Samples were transported by Bayside personnel to the ALS Chemex preparation laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. ALS then ships sample pulps to ALS Chemex Vancouver for analysis. Au values were determined via fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. Any Au samples that were above the detection limits for this method were analyzed via fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Major and trace element geochemistry was analyzed via Aqua Regia digest followed by an ICP-MS finish.

Note: Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the average grade or style of mineralization but will be used to help guide additional exploration on the properties.
