Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB:
RMRDF) (“
Radisson” or the
“
Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has
mobilized a first drill rig and commenced a Phase I, 10,000 metre
(“
m”) drill program at its O’Brien Gold Project
(“
O’Brien”) or (“
the Project”)
located in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec (Figure 1).
The main objective of the program is to continue
to expand upon the current mineral resource estimate published in
March 2023 (see Radisson doubles resource estimate at O’Brien).
Key Program Highlights
- A Phase I drill program is now
underway at Radisson’s high-grade O’Brien Gold Project, located in
Quebec’s renowned Abitibi region (Figure 1).
- The 10,000 m program will focus on
expanding the current mineral resource estimate
- Drilling will focus on twenty (20)
high priority targets between surface and 500 m vertical depth
“We are very excited to have begun this fully
financed Phase I drill program at O’Brien as we look to continue to
grow our resources and demonstrate the Project’s potential. Our
geological team has an excellent understanding of the deposit and
has employed a sophisticated targeting method that we expect will
allow us to maintain and even improve our success rate in adding
ounces as we demonstrated during the drilling program completed in
2022,” commented Denis V. Lachance, President and Interim
CEO.
“Globally, there are very few gold projects
located in a world-class jurisdiction like Quebec’s Abitibi, that
have the scale, untapped potential, and high-grade profile of
O'Brien. With our solid geological model and our largely
underexplored 5.2-kilometre (“km”) land-package on the
Larder-Lake-Cadillac Fault, we strongly believe that the true
potential of the Project is yet to be unlocked.”

The Phase I drill program will focus on 20 of
the highest priority targets out of more than 118 targets
established near the current resources at O’Brien East, primarily
within vertical depths between surface and 500 m within less
explored areas, such as high-grade trends (“trends”) #3 and #4.
Under-explored sectors so far such as the sector between high-grade
trends #1 and #2 will also be targeted.
Given our current geological understanding and
refinement of the geological model, the company estimates there is
strong potential for additional high-grade gold trends to be
discovered along the 5.2 km prospective land package on the
prolific Larder-Lake Cadillac Break (“LLCB”). Mineral resources are
open for an additional 750 m to the East and underexplored for 2.5
km to the West of the former O’Brien mine. The continuity of
mineralized zones along steeply plunging trends (80° to 85°)
provides good predictability for resource growth and exploration
potential (Figure 2).
There remains significant potential to expand resources with
additional drilling as high-grade trends in the current resource
areas are wide open:
- Trend #0: Open to the West and
below 750 m
- Trend #1: Open laterally and below
950 m
- Trend #2: Open laterally and below
900 m
- Trend #3: Open laterally and below
500 m
- Trend #4: Open laterally and below
500 m
O’Brien West
In 2023, modelling and re-interpretation of
drilling data available on the LLCB portion of O’Brien West allowed
to establish Inferred resources totalling 293,000 tonnes
grading 7.59 g/t Au for 72,000 ounces.
With approximately 2.5 km of ground along the
prolific LLCB having seen limited exploration work in recent years,
O’Brien West also remains open in all direction. Exploration
targets, following on an historic intercept grading 5.63
g/t Au over 9.00 m, have been established on this sector
and should eventually be integrated into the drill program (Figure
2).
