VANCOUVER, Oct. 05, 2018 - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQX: MLRKF) ("Millrock") is pleased to report that drilling is in progress at the El Picacho gold project in Sonora State, Mexico. A series of ten holes totaling 2,000 meters has been approved and is being funded by Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) under an option to joint venture agreement. The program has been designed to test geological targets identified through soil and rock sampling, geophysical surveys, and trenching. The drill holes will test the Placeres prospect, one of several prospect areas identified by the joint technical teams over the past year. The project targets orogenic gold deposits, similar in nature to the nearby San Francisco gold mine, which is operated by Alio Gold Inc.
