Rainy River Resources Intersects 1,335.0 g/t Gold & 76.7 g/t Silver Over 1.5 Metres Near Surface in Western Area
06 7월 2011 - 7:00PM
Marketwired Canada
Rainy River Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RR) (the "Company" or "Rainy") is
pleased to announce assay results from the Rainy River Gold Project in northwest
Ontario where the Company is completing 170,000 metres of diamond drilling in
2011. Results are summarized in Table 1.
Highlights
-- Western Area continues to expand with high-grade gold and silver
-- NR11719 intersects 1,335.0 g/t gold and 76.7 g/t silver over 1.5 metres
located 42 metres below surface
-- NR11711 intersects 4.4 g/t gold over 10.5 metres and NR11731 intersects
3.9 g/t gold over 22.5 metres
-- Infill program returns 1.2 g/t gold and 1.8 g/t silver over 93 metres in
ODM Zone
Western Area
The Western Area is a new exploration target located approximately 800 metres
northwest of the Beaver Pond ("BP") Zone, lying within a large magnetic low
trend that hosts the Rainy River gold deposit and stretches over 10 km to the
west. Drilling has continued on this zone since the first significant gold
intersection was reported in the March 30, 2011 press release, where hole
NR11648 intersected 7.1 g/t gold and 23.0 g/t silver over 9.0 metres.
Eleven new shallow holes are reported in this release. The three most prominent
holes include NR11719, which intersected 1,335.0 g/t gold and 76.7 g/t silver
over 1.5 metres directly at the overburden-bedrock contact, located 42 metres
below surface. In addition, hole NR11711 intersected 4.4 g/t gold and 1.2 g/t
silver over 10.5 metres, and hole NR11731 intersected 3.9 g/t gold and 9.8 g/t
silver over 22.5 metres. Significant gold mineralization has been intersected at
relatively shallow depths, with results beginning to demonstrate the potential
for continuity that may eventually develop into a new near-surface mineralized
zone. Drilling will continue to expand this mineralization to the south and also
towards the main resource pit.
Infill Program
The first results from the infill program returned wide intersections of
continuous gold mineralization. This program is primarily designed to upgrade
inferred resources into the measured and indicated categories for incorporation
into a future feasibility study. Drill hole KCBL101, originally drilled for
geotechnical purposes, has now been assayed and has returned 1.2 g/t gold and
1.8 g/t silver over 93 metres in the heart of the ODM zone from 230 to 323
metres down hole including 4.1 g/t gold and 3.0 g/t silver over 9.0 metres from
248 - 257 metres down hole. NR11718 returned values of 1.8g/t gold over 39
metres, including 4.2 g/t gold over 13.0 metres in the 17 East Zone, while
NR11729 returned values of 1.0 g/t gold over 11.0 metres, and NR11724 returned
values of 16.5 g/t gold and 16.9 g/t silver over 1.5 metres. Six rigs are
currently on site for infill drilling.
District Exploration
The Company's district exploration program is ongoing, with one drill rig
following up on gold-in-till anomalies identified from past reverse circulation
drill programs, and a second drill rig is completing a north - south fence of
stratigraphic holes through the property for geological purposes. Exploration
drilling north of the main deposit area continues to return encouraging results,
including drill hole NR11692 with 7.9 g/t gold reported over 1.5 metres, drill
hole NR11693 with 34.2 g/t gold over 1.5 metres, and drill hole NR11694 which
intersected 5.3 g/t gold over 1.5 metres.
Commentary
Raymond Threlkeld, President and CEO, adds "These results are very encouraging
and confirm our belief that the Western Area has the potential to add resources
to the project. Grades and widths appear to be increasing as we explore towards
the Beaver Pond Zone, and the Company will be conducting further drilling in
this area over the next few months. Early results from our district exploration
program have identified several narrow, high-grade intercepts which represent
excellent target areas for further exploration."
Qualified Persons
Rainy River's exploration program in Richardson Township is being supervised by
Kerry Sparkes, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration, a Qualified Person as defined
by National Instrument 43-101. Garett Macdonald, P.Eng., Vice President
Operations and Kerry Sparkes P.Geo. are the persons responsible for the content
of this news release. The Company continues to implement a rigorous QA/QC
program to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of drill core. All
drill core is marked for sampling and then split in half with a diamond saw
blade. Samples are placed in sealed bags with security tags. All samples were
assayed using a standard fire assay, 30 gram nominal sample weight with an AA
finish. Over-limit samples were re-assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples
with visible gold were automatically analyzed for Ore Grade by 1,000g screen
fire assay, with coarse and fine fractions being combined proportionately and
the fine fraction being assayed twice. Standards, blanks and duplicates are
inserted every 25 metres. ALS Canada Ltd. performed primary assaying, with
duplicates being analyzed at Activation Laboratories Ltd. ALS Canada Ltd. and
Activation Laboratories Ltd. implement independent QA/QC protocols that include
the insertion of certified blanks and standards as part of their routine
analysis.
About Rainy River Resources Ltd.
Rainy River Resources is a Canadian precious metals exploration company whose
key asset is the Rainy River Gold Project. With over $120 million in cash and
short term investments, the Company is well funded to conduct a dual-focused
drilling program consisting of: 1) definition diamond drilling of the main gold
resources in preparation for scoping and pre-feasibility studies, and 2)
selective diamond-drill testing of high-priority gold targets defined primarily
by RC drilling within the large gold system centred in Richardson Township. The
Company's property is extremely well located in the southwestern corner of
northern Ontario near the U.S. border. It is accessed by a network of roads and
is close to hydro-electric infrastructure. The Rainy River district has a
skilled labour force and is one of the lowest-cost areas for mineral exploration
and development. The Company is also working to advance the early-stage
discoveries at its TPK Joint Venture Property, also in Ontario, where it can
earn a 51% interest in the property from Northern Superior Resources Inc.
Ontario has low political risk and, according to the annual Fraser Institute
global survey of the mining industry, has consistently ranked as one of the top
jurisdictions embracing mineral development.
