RNC Minerals announced drilling results received to-date from its 100% owned Beta Hunt Mine. The new underground drill results comprise 46 holes totaling 5,766 metres of drilling that was initiated during the fourth quarter of 2018. Drilling was carried out in both the A Zone and Western Flanks areas of the mine, with initial holes focused on more clearly defining the sediment layer in close proximity to the Father's Day Vein discovery and, for the first time, testing the sediment layer in Western Flanks. A further 37 holes totaling 4,198 metres have been drilled for which results are pending. Drilling in Western Flanks Targeting Sediment Layer, Resource Extension and Infill Drilling 32 holes totaling 3,748 metres have been completed to assist in defining the resource and mapping the sediment layer within the Western Flanks shear zone, which hosts the potential for high grade coarse gold. Assay results have been received for 19 holes totaling 2,350 metres. WFN-029 yielded a drill intersection containing high grade coarse gold which assayed 7,621 g/t over 0.27 metres (true width) located within 45 metres of existing development. This result, which is the first high grade coarse gold found at the intersection of the sediment layer within the Western Flanks shear, is consistent with RNC's interpretation that the newly discovered sedimentary layer carries the potential for multiple new high grade discoveries. Key intersections include (all estimated true widths): WFN-017 - 3.98 g/t over 14.24 metres, WFN-023 - 4.36 g/t over 10.57 metres, including 7.53 g/t over 5.00 metres and 4.69 g/t over 7.36 metres WFN-029 - 1,017.3 g/t over 2.00 metres including 7,621 g/t over 0.27 metres and 6.09 g/t over 8.65 metres WFN-036 - 6.86 g/t over 7.28 metres and 4.34 g/t over 9.86 metres. The 7,621 g/t drill intersection in WFN-029 is, to the Company's knowledge, the higher grade drill intersection by any reporting company since 2017 - only Kirkland Lake's Fosterville mine and Pretium Resources Brucejack mine have yielded higher grade intersections over the past 4 years. Drilling in A Zone Targeting Sediment Layer in Close Proximity to Father's Day Vein, Resource Extension and Infill Drilling. 51 holes totaling 6,216 metres were completed along the A Zone shear in multiple directions from the Father's Day Vein and at the northern limit of the A Zone resource. Results have been received for 27 holes totaling 3,416 metres. The holes allow the intersection of the sediment and A Zone shear to be more clearly mapped, and infill and extend the A Zone resource. Hole AZ15-013 returned 1,406 g/t over 0.50 metres true width located just 7 metres below the Father's Day Vein. Key intersections include (all estimated true widths): AZ13-145 - 4.53 g/t over 4.66 metres AZ15-006 - 3.73 g/t over 11.77 metres, including 5.59 g/t over 4.79 metres, AZ15-007 - 3.90 g/t over 9.50 metres, including 12.52 g/t over 0.99 metres and 16.33 g/t over 0.86 metres, AZ15-013 - 119.37 g/t over 6.4 metres including 1,406 g/t over 0.50 metres AZ15-019 - 3.74 g/t over 3.44 metres, AZ15-020 - 4.02 g/t over 5.58 metres, AZ15-022 - 3.61 g/t over 11.52 metres, including 4.63 g/t over 6.74 metres and 3.77 g/t over 2.36 metres, AZ15-025 - 3.60 g/t over 7.49 metres. A more comprehensive drilling release will be provided in February. Future drilling in the 40,000 metre program will increasingly focus on infilling and extending resources in A Zone and Western Flanks.
