Rye Patch Gold Corp. (TSXV:RPM,OTCQX:RPMGF) announced the results of 2014 drilling on its Lincoln Hill project, located in Pershing County, Nevada. A total of 28 reverse-circulation holes in two targets were completed.

Highlights include:

• Drillhole LR-112 returned 4.18 g/t Au and 20.6 g/t Ag over 13.7 metres including high-grade gold and silver grading 34.35 g/t Au and 143 g/t Ag over 1.5 metres from the Looney mine target on Independence Hill;
• Drilling returned 0.62 g/t Au and 9.7 g/t Ag over 22.9 metres including 3 metres grading 3.16 g/t Au and 10.7g/t Ag from the Octopus target on Independence Hill; and
• The Looney and Octopus targets remain open down dip and to the northwest and northeast respectively.

William C. Howald, Rye Patch’s president and CEO, said:

These results give us solid encouragement that Lincoln Hill has substantial room to grow in size and quality and add to the already robust PEA completed May 2014. We look forward with continued excitement to a larger in-fill and exploration drilling program in 2015, to commence as soon as permitting is complete. I am very pleased with the on-going success rate of our exploration drilling, and its ability to identify high grade zones such as at Looney and Octopus.
