TORONTO, May 19, 2020

 Summary

Paleochannel Project

  • The paleochannel project is an integral component of HGO's expected Life of Mine Plan, with drilling to date focused on two priority areas within the paleochannel system – Mitchell and Jupiter.
  • The paleochannel system extends for over 7 kilometres south of current mining operations (Fairplay North) and provides multiple exploration targets along its length including extensions of the paleochannel and the hard rock potential at depth.
  • Planning for the first of the high-grade primary gold mineralization targets is underway which will test the continuity of the mineralization below the Jupiter paleochannel.
  • This mineralization, first identified by historical drilling in 2012, had not been followed up because of the prior onerous royalty attached to the tenement, which is now being eliminated (see RNC news release dated May 11, 2020).
    • Drill intersection1, 2 highlights from the Jupiter primary mineralization are listed below:
      • JUPR037: 234.0 g/t over 2 m downhole from 90 m
      • JUPR025: 39.2 g/t over 2 m downhole from 64 m
      • JUPR031: 4.2 g/t over 17 m downhole from 54 m
      • JUPR030: 4.7 g/t over 7m downhole from 70 m

 

  1. Estimated true widths are 60%-70% of downhole widths
  2. Intersections previously reported by Alacer Gold Corp. (news release, March 26, 2013).

 

Pioneer Deposit

  • New drilling by RNC has extended gold mineralization at Pioneer and outlined a high-grade shallow, south plunging shoot which shows clear potential for underground development. Pioneer is part of HGO's near term mine plan.
    • Highlights from the 2020 drill program include1:
      • PORR0142: 5.4 g/t over 17.0 m from 67 m, including 10.7g/t over 6.0m

TORONTOMay 19, 2020 /CNW/ - RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) ("RNC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive results from ongoing drilling at Higginsville and a further update of our review of historical drill records. As part of the Company's open pit pipeline development strategy, drilling is now underway at the Jupiter project to be followed by Mitchell, two of the Company's paleochannel deposit targets.

Paul Huet CEO and Executive Chairman RNC said, "Following the announcement of the elimination the Morgan Stanley NSR royalties last week (see RNC news release dated May 11, 2020), we are excited to be seeing further strong examples of the potential at Higginsville. Not only are we seeing further potential additions to open pit resources, but our ongoing technical review of the historical database has revealed another excellent high-grade target for us to pursue at the Jupiter project.

At Jupiter, the presence of historical drilling grades in excess of 230 g/t over two metres at relatively shallow depths (approximately 60 metres from the surface) highlights the tremendous upside potential at Higginsville. These results follow on from the historic drill results from the Aquarius deposit (see RNC news release date February 27, 2020) which are also high-grade and close to the surface. With the elimination of the Morgan Stanley NSR royalty, these projects will be free of this long-standing burden, which held back exploration and mining at Higginsville for over a decade.

Over the course of 2020, we will continue to aggressively target these new areas as we also test our existing pits for additional ore body extensions. The commencement of drilling on the paleochannel deposits is exciting and we look forward to continuing to build upon the outstanding results that we have delivered thus far at Higginsville in 2020."

Pioneer

The Pioneer gold deposit is located 13 km south south-east of the HGO processing plant (Figure 1).  RNC commenced drilling at Pioneer late last year with the aim of upgrading and increasing the Historical Mineral Resource. The work involved a two-stage reverse circulation ("RC") drill program totaling 86 drill holes for 7,953 metres. Results from the 2019 - 2020 drilling have extended the mineralization along strike to the south and down dip and identified a shallow, south plunging high-grade shoot (Figure 2). Further drilling is planned through the second half of 2020 to test continuity of the mineralization at depth and test the potential for an underground operation by drilling the interpreted high-grade shoot extensions.

Highlights1 of gold results from the drilling are listed below:

  • PORR0138: 6.7 g/t over 9 m from 57 m
  • PORR0141: 2.0 g/t over 15 m from 50 m
  • PORR0142: 5.4 g/t over 17 m from 67 m, including 10.7 g/t over 6 m
  • PORR0143: 5.5 g/t over 7 m from 59 m
  • PORR0144: 3.5 g/t over 9 m from 66 m
  • PORR0145: 4.6 g/t over 8 m from 80 m
  • PORR0184: 8.5 g/t over 5 m from 97 m, including 16.0 g/t over 2 m
  • PORR0186: 3.9 g/t over 18 m from 60 m
  • PORR0209: 2.4 g/t over 12 m from 64 m

 

  1. Drillhole intervals are estimated true widths (Note: true widths approximate downhole widths).

 

Mineralization at Pioneer is interpreted to dip approximately 30° towards the east and is hosted within a mafic package comprised mainly of silicified basalt with narrow, cherty interflow sediments. Mineralization is interpreted as bounded by steeply east dipping, north northeast trending regional shears.

Baloo

Grade control drilling and follow-up RC drilling (6 holes for 262 metres) in the Baloo pit has extended the high-grade mineralization beyond the pit design at the southern end of the pit (Figure 3). Results from the grade control drilling and the deeper follow-up holes will be used to extend the existing pit design. Potential to extend the northern end of the pit at depth is also under review as supported by earlier released drill results (see RNC news release, Jan. 23, 2020). Drill intersection1 gold result highlights from the March RC program are listed below:

  • BLOR0044: 5.5 g/t over 3.0 m from 21 m
  • BLOR0048: 7.3 g/t over 2.0 m from 16 m

 

  1. Drillhole intervals are estimated true widths.

 

The deeper sections of the Baloo historical resource are planned to be tested with infill diamond drilling later in 2020. A review of previous exploration work completed by S2 Resources ("S2") shows that mineralization extends over 300 m below surface with a number of significant intersections just below the current pit design highlighting the potential to extend the mine life of this deposit with an underground operation (Figure 3). Highlights of gold results from the S2 drill intersections1 (S2 Resources Ltd., ASX news releases, February 10, 2016, December 8, 2016 and February 13, 2017) are listed below:

  • SPC0258: 5.1 g/t over 8.0 m from 106 m
  • SPD0100: 8.4 g/t over 7.6 m from 125.2 m
  • SPD0101: 5.0 g/t over 9.8m from 111.5 m

 

  1. Drillhole intervals are estimated true widths (Note: true widths approximate downhole widths).

 

Mineralization at Baloo is located on the Buldania Fault, a north north-west striking fault dipping shallowly approximately 30° to the east. Alteration comprises biotite +/‐pyrite‐arsenopyrite with multiple generations of veining present within the Fault zone. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz‐arsenopyrite‐pyrite veining.   

Paleochannel Project

The paleochannel deposits at Higginsville are an integral part of the expected HGO mine plan. RNC is focused on three primary Paleochannel deposits: Mitchell, Jupiter and Pluto. Jupiter and Pluto belong to the Challenger paleochannel system which lies 3 kms east of the Mitchell paleochannel (Figure 1).

Historical mine production totaled 2.1 Mt @ 3.4 g/t (232,000 contained gold ounces). The existing  Historical Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.5 Mt @ 2.2 g/t for 102,000 contained gold ounces and a Historical Inferred Mineral Resource of 0.3 Mt @ 2.1 g/t for 14,000 contained gold ounces (see technical report dated February 6, 2020 under Royal Nickel Corporation's profile at sedar.com) was part of the acquisition of Higginsville . A qualified person has not done sufficient work on behalf of RNC to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and RNC is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

The remaining paleochannel historical resources were assessed and prioritized for follow-up drilling. This work resulted in all three areas (Mitchell, Jupiter and Pluto) being targeted for infill and extensional drilling, with the objective of upgrading and adding to the historical mineral resources. Drilling will also test the continuity of primary mineralization previously intersected at the Jupiter prospect, with the objective of producing a Mineral Resource estimate for this mineralization.

Drilling of an expected total of 4,060 m is planned in two stages. Stage one will comprise 33 drill holes for 2,140 m, targeting both the Jupiter primary and overlying paleochannel mineralization and infill the Mitchell 3 and 4 Historical Mineral Resources. Stage two will comprise 32 drill holes for 1,920 m, targeting an upgrade and extension of the Pluto Historical Mineral Resource. 

RNC's initial focus will be to improve confidence in the historical high-grade intersections with the objective of defining a Mineral Resource for mine evaluation. This will be driven in tandem with results from the paleochannel which overlies the primary mineralization. Highlights of historical drill intersection1 gold results from the primary mineralization are listed below (see Alacer Gold Corp. news release, March 26, 2013):

  • JUPR037: 234.0 g/t over 2 m downhole from 90 m
  • JUPR025: 39.2 g/t over 2 m downhole from 64 m
  • JUPR031: 4.2 g/t over 17 m downhole from 54 m
  • JUPR030: 4.7 g/t over 7m downhole from 70 m

 

  1. Estimated true widths are 60%-70% of downhole widths.

 

Paleochannel Deposits at Higginsville

Paleochannel gold deposits comprise both ancient placer gold, normally near the base of the channel-fill sequences, and chemically precipitated secondary gold within the channel-fill materials and underlying saprolite. These gold concentrations commonly overlie, or are adjacent to, primary mineralized zones within Archaean bedrock. At Jupiter, the primary mineralization, discovered by Alacer in 2012, begins approximately 50 metres below surface and is associated with a north-south steeply dipping shear structure hosted within Paringa basalt (Figure 4). Mineralization is associated with tensional quartz-(chlorite-carbonate) veining and sulphides (pyrite) with visible gold occurring in some intersections. The structure is variably mineralized for over 1 km of strike.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Higginsville Mining Operations

A production decision at the Higginsville gold operations was made by previous operators of the mine, prior to the completion of the acquisition of the Higginsville gold operations by RNC and RNC made a decision to continue production subsequent to the acquisition. This decision by RNC to continue production and, to the knowledge of RNC, the prior production decision were not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, which include increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's cash flow and future profitability. Readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.
