Radisson Intersects 81.83 g/t Gold Over 3.00 Metres on First Holes of its Phase 1 Drill Program at its O’Brien Gold Project in Quebec, Canada
January 22 2024 - 6:30AM
Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB:
RMRDF) (“
Radisson” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce results from the
first 3 drill holes (or 1,240 metres (‘m”)) of an ongoing drill
program at its 100% owned O’Brien gold project located along the
Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break (see location map 1 and location map 2),
halfway between Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d’Or in Quebec, Canada.
Key Highlights:
- OB-23-284 intersected 81.83 grams per tonne (“g/t”)
gold (“Au”) over 3.00 m
- OB-23-283 intersected 6.16 g/t Au over 3.00 m and 5.17
g/t Au over 4.40 m
- Successful start confirms Inferred resource growth
potential in the upper 500 m
- Program well underway with 12 drill holes completed,
for 5,820 m drilled, to date
- 4,570 m of assays pending from 9 drill holes on Trend 3
and 4
“We are pleased to report that initial results
from our ongoing 10,000 m drill program have successfully
intersected high-grade mineralization demonstrating strong resource
growth potential in the upper 500 m of the O’Brien deposit,”
commented Chairman of the Board of directors and Interim
President & CEO, Denis Lachance. “Drilling at O’Brien
continues to deliver high grades, consistent with drill results
obtained over the last several years and those included within the
current mineral resource estimate, which exceed 10 g/t gold on an
Indicated resource basis. We’re also pleased to see world-class
gold grade as in hole OB-23-284. This is the type of high-grade
mineralization that made the historic O’Brien mine so profitable
and has the potential to deliver very strong margins in a future
mining operation. We expect significant news flow as more results
become available and we look forward to sharing additional details
of the drill program expansion in the coming weeks.”

Targeting completed during Phase 1
Phase 1 of the drill program was designed with
the objective of growing Inferred resources in areas with strongest
veining and grade continuity within the first 500 m below surface,
between Trends 0 and Trend 4.
As illustrated, in Figure 2 and 3, many zones
can still be targeted in this superficial domain to reach a drill
hole spacing of 25 m by 25 m. With the modeling of the veins and
the compilation of historic gold values in the historic O’Brien
mine, the vein’s behaviour is well understood and, moreover, the
gold distribution along each vein is also understood. The
high-grade gold shoots commonly form high grade shoots with a
lateral strike length of 15-20 m and a continuous vertical extent
up to 400 m as illustrated on the longitudinal view of the vein
V3-N_12 (See Figure 3). Intercepts published in holes OB-23-283 and
OB-23-284 support this concept in areas targeted for resource
growth having reached a vertical extent exceeding 130 m. Areas like
these, including the area where mineralization returned 81.83 g/t
Au over 3.00 m are expected to contribute significantly to
resources in a future MRE update.

QA/QC
All drill cores in this campaign are NQ in size.
Assays were completed on sawn half-cores, with the second half kept
for future reference. The samples were analyzed using standard fire
assay procedures with Atomic Absorption (AA) finish at ALS
Laboratory Ltd, in Val-d’Or, Quebec. Samples yielding a grade
higher than 5 g/t Au Au were analyzed a second time by fire assay
with gravimetric finish at the same laboratory. Mineralized zones
containing visible gold were analyzed with metallic sieve
procedure. Standard reference materials, blank samples and
duplicates were inserted prior to shipment for quality assurance
and quality control (QA/QC) program.
