Radisson announces High-Grade intercepts; 37.52 g/t Gold over 12.80 m and 8.74 g/t Gold over 12.20 m on 36E area, O'Brien project, Cadillac Break

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, Nov. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (“Radisson” or the “Company") today announced significant high-grade Gold intercepts from the 11,000 m drill program underway at its O’Brien gold project, along the Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break halfway between Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d’Or in Quebec, Canada.

Press release highlights:

• Drill hole OB-18-84 intersected 37.52 g/t gold over 12.80 metres and 8.74 g/t gold over 12.20 metres on the 36E zone.
   (See photos for visible gold on drill core (1, 2 and 3), figure 2, figure 3 and figure 4)

• The newly reported intercepts occurred in the 36E zone

• In continuity of the enrichment vector defined therein;
• 180 metres below and in trend with the projected bulk sample area
• Where several high-grade gold intercepts were previously obtained
     • (See results from OB-17-25, OB-17-25w, OB-17-26 and OB-17-29)

• Assays are currently pending from 2,514 m of drilling

• 1 drill hole and 1 wedge hole on 36E zone in lateral extension of DDH OB-18-84
• 2 drill holes in the F Zone, located west of current resources

• As announced on August 28, 2018, Radisson closed a financing totalling $1.41 million and is fully funded to drill the remaining 5,000 metres of the 11,000 metres drill program started in 2018

“We’re excited by these exceptionally high-grade gold intercepts, which occurred 180 metres below the projected bulk sample area in the 36E zone. These results demonstrate the strong mineralization continuity of the enrichment vector defined with our 3D model in the heart of the O’Brien deposit. This high-grade gold mineralization in association with biotite, very dark smoky quartz and sulphides is a classical signature of these so-called “jewellery boxes” that where found in the old O’Brien mine at the time of production. We remain focused on unlocking O’Brien full value, which remains open laterally and at depth in the F Zone, and below 550 metres depth in the 36E area,” commented Mario Bouchard, President and CEO.

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 5 g/t were analyzed a second time by fire assay with gravimetric finish at the same laboratory. Samples containing visible gold were analyzed with metallic sieve procedure. Standard reference materials and blank samples were inserted prior to shipment for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program.
