TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliant Gold Corp. ("Reliant Gold" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V:RNG), at the request of IIROC, wishes to clarify its previously disseminated press release on November 28, 2017 by providing both the highlights and the detailed assay results from the Summer 2017 Surface Sampling Program (″2017 Program″) recently completed at its East Bay Property, Northwestern Ontario.

QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL (″QA/QC″) PROTOCOL

During the course of the 2017 Program, a total of 35 grab, chip and drill core samples were collected by Trevor Boyd and then shipped by a bonded carrier directly to the Activation Laboratories facility located in Thunder Bay, Ontario for assaying and testing for gold.  Activation Laboratories is an ISO – 17025 accredited laboratory providing high-quality mineral analysis.  The samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay with an ICP-OES finish (Method Code IA2-ICP-50gm) with a detection limit of 2 ppb.  A gold standard and blank inserted with the batch performed satisfactorily. 

2017 PROGRAM RESULTS

Highlights of Assay Results at the Apple Island and Altered Zones of the East Bay Property

  • Apple Island Zone: Surface chip sampling reported gold assays averaging 0.95 g/t Au over 1.5 metres from three contiguous 0.5 metre chip samples taken across the strike of the zone in samples ML-17-06, 07 and 08 with adjacent grab samples carrying up to 9.2 g/t Au.  The east-west trending zone has never been drilled and remains open along strike in both directions into overburden or into McVicar Lake.
     
  • Altered Zone: On-site review, examination and sampling of the exposed stripped area of the Altered Zone and associated historic drilling set-ups confirmed that the zone trends along strike to the east southeast and dips shallowly with a westerly rake, plunging directly to the north.  The zone remains open in all three directions.
     
  • 14 collected samples of historical drill core stored at the Altered Zone generally returned low values ranging up to 0.34 g/t Au in sample ML-17-29.
