Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB:
RMRDF) (“
Radisson” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce results from
three deep diamond drill holes completed at its 100%-owned O’Brien
Gold Project (“
O’Brien” or the
“
Project”) located in the Abitibi region of
Québec. These results are part of Radisson’s ongoing and
fully-funded 35,000 metre drill program, and represent the first
deep drill holes of the current campaign.
The three drill holes reported today represent
an approximately 200 metre wide fence to the west, centre and east
of the down-plunge extension of a high grade mineralization trend
at the Project labeled “Trend 1.” The fence was located at a
vertical depth of approximately 1,100 metres, 170 metres below the
base of the existing Mineral Resource and below the level of the
historic workings at the adjacent O’Brien mine. Of note, DDH
OB-24-324, the central hole of the fence located directly below
“Trend 1”, returned a wide intersection of high-grade
mineralization with extensive visible gold (Figures 1, 2 & 3
and Tables 1 & 2).
Results Highlights:
-
OB-24-324 intersected 27.61 grams per tonne
(“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 6.0 metres, including 102.00 g/t Au over
1.1 metres, and a separate mineralized interval averaging 6.83 g/t
Au over 10.0 metres, including 40.20 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;
-
OB-24-322 intersected a mineralized interval
averaging 8.75 g/t Au over 5.2 metres, including 27.20 g/t Au over
1.4 metres.
Matt Manson, President & CEO, commented:
“The results reported today represent a significant extension of
high-grade mineralization at the O’Brien Project at depth. We have
successfully intersected the down plunge extension of one of the
principal high-grade gold trends at O’Brien. The 6-metre core
interval of almost an ounce per tonne gold in OB-24-324, well
mineralized throughout and with extensive visible gold, was
achieved in the location predicted by our deposit model at
a vertical depth of approximately 1,100 metres, a full 170 metres
below previous drilling. For context, approximately 75% of our
existing Mineral Resource is defined at depths above 600
metres. The two other deep holes reported today also
intersected vein mineralization within alteration zones at the same
depth, confirming the lateral continuity of the O’Brien
mineralizing system generally and with noteworthy high-grade
intercepts in OB-24-322 in particular. Taken together, this deep
drilling is demonstrating the significant upside potential of the
Project below the existing Mineral Resource. Two rigs are currently
active, one targeting shallower targets within the existing Mineral
Resource model, and one continuing to target deeper, down-plunge
step-outs. We will be reporting additional drill results as they
become available.”

Project, with DDH OB-24-321, 322 and 324 illustrated.
Gold Mineralization at O’Brien
Gold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at
O’Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic
rocks, conglomerates, and porphyric andesitic sills of the Piché
Group occurring adjacent to the east-west oriented Larder
Lake-Cadillac Break (“LLCB”). Gold, along with pyrite and
arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive
biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group
lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac
meta-sedimentary rocks.
As mapped at the Historic O’Brien mine, and now
replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally
narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in
thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well
as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual
veins have well-established lateral continuity, with near-vertical,
high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths. The historic
O’Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such
veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t and over a
vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres.
Based on the modern drilling, the Project has
estimated Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.50 million ounces (1.52
million tonnes at 10.26 g/t Au), with additional Inferred Mineral
Resources of 0.45 million ounces (1.62 million tonnes at 8.64 g/t
Au). Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
Current exploration is focussed on delineating
well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic
mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the
exploration data over what has been described as a series of
repeating trends (“Trends 0 to 5”, Table 1 and Figures 1 and
2).

Notes on Calculation of Drill
InterceptsThe O’Brien Gold Project March 2023 Mineral
Resource Estimate (“MRE”) utilizes a 4.50 g/t Au bottom cutoff, a
US$1600 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40
g/t Au upper cap on composites. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are
calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off, representing the
lower limit of cut-off sensitivity presented in the March 2023 MRE.
This methodology differs from previous Radisson disclosure, and
intercepts reported in this release may not be directly comparable
to historical published intercepts. Sample grades are uncapped.
True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole
inclination, are estimated to be 40-80% of core length. Table 2
presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t
bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to
illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals
within which high-grade gold veins at O’Brien are developed. Drill
Hole OB-24-321 did not return any intercepts averaging above 3.00
g/t Au based on unofficial assays received to date (official assay
certificates for three samples in OB-24-321, covering the interval
italicised in Table 2, are pending).

Today’s Drill Results
Today’s results are from three drill holes over
3,660 metres in Trend 1. Visible gold was observed in each
hole. Holes were drilled on northerly declinations at initial
inclinations of between -77 and -85 degrees, providing a high angle
of incidence with the southerly dip of the Piché Group rocks and
the vein mineralization. Estimated true widths of drill intercepts
at the point of contact with mineralization is estimated to be
between 40 and 80% of core length.

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 10 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.
