RTZ Redtail Metals Corp

TSX-V: RTZ /NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/ VANCOUVER, Sept. 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Redtail Metals Corp. (the "Company") announces that it has commenced drilling on its R15 Property, recently acquired from Kaska Minerals Corp. The Company has also closed the non-brokered private placement announced on August 23, 2012 for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000. R15 Project The R15 Project consists of a Yukon Government Lease of Mining Rights to the Kaska Minerals Corp oration covering 4,304 hectares of land set aside for the Ross River Dena Council. Redtail has an option to acquire a 95% participating interest in the R15 Project (see RTZ News Release of August 23, 2012), and has also entered into an Exploration Memorandum of Understanding and Traditional Knowledge Protocol with the Ross River Dena Council governing the R15 Project. R15 is located approximately 120 km ESE of Ross River and approximately 25 km southwest of the Robert Campbell Highway within the prolific Finlayson Lake District; a crescent-shaped portion of the Yukon Tanana Terrane (YTT) located in the south-eastern part of the Yukon Territory that hosts numerous other volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposits including the high-grade, poly-metallic Wolverine deposit, the Kudz Ze Kayah deposit, and the GP4F deposit. In 2004, Teck Cominco Limited optioned the R15 Property from Kaska Minerals and drilled 7 diamond drill holes on the property. Four of the drill holes outlined a new discovery by intersecting a mineralized horizon highlighted by  3.4 m of 15.84% Zn, 7.09% Pb, 0.2% Cu, 68 g/t Ag, 0.268 g/t Au in R04-006. No follow up drilling has been conducted since Teck's initial discovery. The R15 Project is adjacent to, and along strike with, Teck's GP4F project (historical resource estimate of 1.5 million tonnes of 6.4% Zn, 3.1% Pb, 90 g/t Ag, 2 g/t Au ((1)) and hosts massive sulphide mineralization that is geologically similar to the GP4F. The R15 mineralization may represent the continuation of the GP4F horizon along strike. The R15 mineralization consists of a 1-3m thick horizon of massive sulphide hosted within Mississippian-aged felsic metavolcanic and metasediments of the Kudz Ze Kayah Formation within the Grass Lakes Succession. The horizon consists of massive to brecciated and recrystallized sphalerite, galena, magnetite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite with minor silica, plagioclase, + chlorite and biotite gangue. The immediate footwall consists of variably altered chlorite, biotite, quartz, muscovite altered crystal tuff with strong sulphide disseminations and veins. In September 2012 Redtail will complete an initial drill program focused on expanding the initial discovery made by Teck in 2004. Private Placement The Company has closed the non-brokered private placement announced on August 23, 2012. A total of 10,000,000 units were issued at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000.  Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant, each full warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.15 until September 27(th), 2013. Finders' fees totalling $32,150 were paid on closing. All securities issued pursuant to this private placement are subject to a trading hold period expiring on January 28(th), 2013. The proceeds from the private placement will be used for expenditures under the R15 agreements, exploration of the Company's mineral properties, the final payment for the Company's Marg Property, and for general working capital purposes.
