ROUYN-NORANDA, Québec, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB: RMRDF) (“Radisson” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional results from eleven diamond drill holes completed at its 100% owned O’Brien Gold Project (“O’Brien” or the “Project”) located in the Abitibi region of Quebec (see location). These results are part of Radisson’s ongoing and fully-funded 35,000 metre drill program aimed at expanding the scope of gold mineralization and Mineral Resources at the Project.

Gold mineralization at the O’Brien Project is characterized by narrow and high-grade quartz-sulphide veins with prolific visible gold developed within rocks of the Piché Group adjacent to the Larder Lake-Cadillac Break (“LLCB”). The historic O’Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins at an average grade exceeding 15 grams per tonne (“g/t”), and today’s results demonstrate the same characteristic narrow and very high-grade vein intercepts.

Results Highlights:

  • OB-24-320 intersected 137.00 g/t gold (“Au”) over 1.0 metres within a mineralized interval of 24.74 g/t Au over 6.0 metres, and 7.60 g/t Au over 3.0 metres within a mineralized interval of 4.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres;

  • OB-24-316 intersected 74.40 g/t Au over 1.3 metres within a mineralized interval of 42.31 g/t Au over 2.3 metres, and 8.76 g/t Au over 1.0 metres within a mineralized interval of 3.50 g/t Au over 6.1 metres;

  • OB-24-317 intersected 20.20 g/t Au over 1.0 metres; and

  • OB-24-313 intersected 6.47 g/t Au over 3.7 metres.

Matt Manson, President & CEO, commented: “Today’s drill results further illustrate the type of vein intercepts, very-high grades and abundant visible gold that the O’Brien Gold Project is known for. These latest results are from predominantly Trends 1 and 2, closer to the historic O’Brien mine, where we are seeing, perhaps, the best examples of the extensive high-grade near-vertical shoots that were so important for previous gold production. This is illustrated by the new drill hole OB-24-320 (137 g/t Au over 1.0 metres within a mineralized interval of 24.74 g/t Au over 6.0 metres) which is 290 metres down plunge on the same ‘Trend 1’ section and developed within the same Piche Group S3p greywackes as the previously published drill hole OB-23-284 (241 g/t Au over 1.0 metres within 81.83 g/t Au over 3.0 metres; Figures 2 & 3). Our drilling to date has been aimed at in-filling gaps in the geological model in the 200-500 metre depth range. Current drilling includes deeper step-out holes below Trends 0 and 1 and below the depth of the existing Mineral Resource. We now have two rigs at O’Brien and are approximately half-way through our fully-funded 35,000 metre drill program of resource expansion and step-out exploration. We will be reporting additional drill results on a regular basis as they become available.”
