Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB:
RMRDF) (“
Radisson” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce drill results
and the acceleration of the ongoing drill program, with the
mobilization of a second drill rig, to 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.
Highlights:
- Drill program well underway with 22 drill holes (11,808
metres) completed, to date
- 5,165 metres of assays still pending from 9 drill holes
on Trends 2 and 3
- Several broader intervals of gold mineralization
intersected in Pontiac Sediments coupled with multiple historical
diamond drill hole intervals open up new opportunity
- Radisson well-funded to expand drill program with more
than $ 7.0 million in treasury 1
Key High-Grade Highlights:
- OB-23-286 intersected 9.70 g/t Au over 4.00 m
2
- OB-23-289 intersected 6.54 g/t Au over 4.50 m,
including 10.02 g/t Au over 2.20 m
- OB-24-305 intersected 6.40 g/t Au over 4.00
m
Key Bulk Intersection Highlights:
- OB-24-306 intersected 0.84 g/t Au over 49.70 m,
including 3.97 g/t Au over 8.20 m
- OB 23-288 intersected 0.70 g/t Au over 28.90 m,
including 3.96g/t Au over 4.50 m

“We are pleased that our resource expansion
drilling announced today at O’Brien in Trend 4, which is located
approximately 1,200 m to the east of the old O’Brien mine,
continues to yield high-grade results. In addition, we are quite
intrigued by the discovery of much broader intervals of
mineralization between 20 m and 50 m wide in the Pontiac Sediments
in Trend 4 as highlighted by hole OB-24-306, which intersected
49.70 m grading 0.84 g/t Au. These results coupled
with other historical intervals of broader mineralization in Trend
4 come as a positive surprise for us and merit additional work and
investigation to better understand the potential of this largely
untested dimension of the deposit,”
commented Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Interim President & CEO, Denis
Lachance.
Lachance continued: “With our
strong financial position, we were able to ramp up exploration work
during Q1, including refining additional drill targets. We are
excited to be able to further accelerate this ongoing drill program
with the addition of a second drill rig and look forward to sharing
further details about the drill program expansion in coming weeks.
We remain focused on creating value for our shareholders through
resource expansion, additional discoveries, and project derisking
with several ongoing studies in preparation for future phases of
project development at O’Brien.”
Results published today are from nine drill
holes completed on Trend 4, a sector where current resources are
limited to the first 400 vertical metres from surface. New and
previously released drill holes demonstrate continuity of
high-grade mineralization down to a vertical depth of 550 m in this
area, which remains open for expansion over 750 m, both laterally
and at depth.
In addition to the high-grade mineralization
targeted in the Piché Group, which comprises most of the mineral
resource estimate, several broad intervals of gold mineralization
were obtained in the Pontiac Sediments to the south, which were not
previously known to host such mineralization. Based on these
results, the Radisson team reviewed drill holes from previous
campaigns and was able to identify several other additional broad
intervals of mineralization in the Pontiac Sediments. (see Table
2). To further support the interpretation of the findings, samples
from twelve additional intervals from historical drill holes where
similar veining was observed yet never assayed, will also be
collected and assayed.

Image 1. Second Drill Rig Mobilized at the O’Brien Gold
Project
Targeting Completed During Phase 1
Phase 1 of the drill program was designed to
grow Inferred resources in areas with strongest veining and grade
continuity within the first 500 m below surface, between Trends 0
and Trend 4.
Radisson has completed 11,808 m since the
commencement of the program in September 2023 and expects to
provide further details about the expansion of the drill program
while reporting additional results in the coming weeks.
With the resource modeling and the compilation
of historical gold values from the historic O’Brien mine, the
vein’s behaviour and gold distribution along each vein are well
understood, allowing for efficient targeting of high-grade vectors
that extend for over 400 m vertically in some cases. The intercepts
published today, in combination with previous results from this
program (see Radisson Intersects 81.83 g/t Gold Over 3.00 m)
support this concept in areas targeted for resource growth.

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 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.
