Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB:
RMRDF) (“
Radisson” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce results from the
first phase of an extensive glacial till sampling program, during
the 2023 summer, in the southern sector ("
New
Alger") of the O'Brien project (“
O’Brien”
or the “
Project”), an area having a geological
context similar to that of Agnico Eagle’s Canadian-Malartic Complex
(see Figure 1).
Program Highlights:
- 115 glacial till surface sample collected and analyzed by IOS
Services Geoscientifiques
- 14 anomalous samples forming a southward dispersion gold grain
tail in the western tier of the property
- Brand new target area with more than 2-kilometre
(“km”) strike length with potential for gold
discovery identified
- 15.5 km2 of additional claims staked expanding the property to
74.3 km2.
“We are pleased to share that results from the first phase of
our summer 2023 glacial till sampling program at New Alger are very
encouraging and have outlined a new target area of interest showing
strong potential for gold mineralization over a strike length
exceeding 2 km,” commented Radisson’s Geology Director,
Vivien Janvier. “A total of 14 anomalous samples with
between 10 and 45 pristine gold grains, suggestive of proximal
provenance, were located in the western portion of the New Alger
area leading us to identify a new highly prospective target area
(see Figure 2). As a result of these findings, we’ve staked
additional claims and plan to expand our 2024 exploration programs
to include detailed prospecting work, trench sampling and,
potentially, drilling to better understand the mineralization
potential of this new target area. In addition to these promising
sampling results, we look forward to sharing initial results from
the first 5,300 metres of our ongoing drill program, currently
focused on adding ounces to the existing resource estimate at
O’Brien, in the coming weeks.”
Glacial Till Sampling Program Explainer:
The Canadian-Malartic Complex, part of the
Pontiac Group of sediments, which has similar geology to New Alger,
is one of the world’s largest gold mining operations, having
produced close to 13.7 million ounces of gold1. The gold
mineralization in this area is associated with porphyry intrusions,
dykes, and shear zones, highlighting the significant potential for
gold mineralization within the Pontiac Group. The Radisson
geological team commissioned an initial glacial till sampling
program to identify areas with gold endowment. The concept is that,
in the course of the last Wisconsinian glacial event, bedrock and
auriferous zones have been eroded by ice movement, and their gold
particles content dispersed southward. The survey included three
sampling profiles at the south end of the property, intended to
intercept the dispersion of a potential deposit situated north,
neighbouring the Cadillac break. An anomalous gold grain tail was
detected on the western portion of the property. With the sampling
profile having not detected the dispersion of the O’Brien deposit,
the length of the dispersion is believed to be limited to
approximately 2 km within the property perimeter (see Figure 2).
The area has limited outcropping, and consequently has been
underexplored. These results are very encouraging and warrant more
comprehensive exploration work to assess the potential for
additional discoveries.
About New Alger
New Alger is an over 74 square-kilometre land
package with strong potential for gold, located near many prolific
geological structures. During a prospecting campaign in 2022, a
sample containing 7.33 grams of gold per tonne was collected,
indicating the presence of at least one gold-rich zone in the area.
The geological characteristics of New Alger are similar to those of
historical and operating mines in the area, with potentially
prolific shear-zones, intermediate to felsic dykes and intrusions
present. The area is in continuity of the Amm Mine, which extracted
83,475 tonnes at 4.54 g/t Au between 1939 and 1942 and had
estimated reserves of 219,000 tonnes of ore.

Radisson Mining Resources
Inc.
Radisson is a gold exploration company focused
on its 100% owned O’Brien project, located in the Bousquet-Cadillac
mining camp along the world-renowned Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break in
Abitibi, Québec. The Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp has produced
over 25,000,000 ounces of gold over the last 100 years. The project
hosts the former O’Brien Mine, considered to have been Québec’s
highest-grade gold producer during its production.
