Radisson Announces Additional Assay Results from 2024 Drill Program at O'Brien Including 8.36 g/t Gold over 15 Metres

Radisson Announces Additional Assay Results from 2024 Drill Program at O'Brien Including 8.36 g/t Gold over 15 Metres

Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional drill assay results from its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec.

The seventeen drill holes reported were completed as part of the 35,000 metre, 2024 drill program designed to increase the scope of gold mineralization at the Project with a combination of deep and shallow drill holes. Prior to the end of last year, Radisson released the results of several deep drill holes which demonstrated high grade mineralization at substantial step-outs below the base of the current Mineral Resource and below the historic O'Brien Mine workings (see Radisson News Releases dated September 24, 2024, October 30, 2024 and December 16, 2024). Today's results represent shallower drilling at the margins, or within, the existing Mineral Resource over the Project's "Trends 1, 2 and 3". The new data continue to demonstrate the Project's characteristic narrow and high-grade gold mineralization within quartz-sulphide veins.

Results Highlights:

  • OB-24-358 intersected 8.36 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 15.0 metres within a broad mineralized interval with multiple veins, including 56.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and 41.1 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;

  • OB-24-327 intersected 10.32 g/t Au over 4.1 metres including 18.30 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;

  • OB-24-350 intersected 46.40 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;

  • OB-24-339 intersected 10.05 g/t Au over 1.3 metres; and

  • OB-24-351 intersected 9.89 g/t Au over 2.9 metres including 17.90 g/t Au over 1.4 metres

Matt Manson, President & CEO, commented: "We are reporting today results from drill holes completed during the fall as part of our 2024 drill program. They demonstrate the type of narrow high-grade intercepts within broader mineralized envelopes that are so characteristic of the O'Brien Gold Project and serve to fill out our interpretation of mineralization in and around the existing Mineral Resources. Our drilling priorities in 2024 represented a balance between shallower targets within the existing Mineral Resource model, and deeper step-outs geared to new discovery. The deep step-outs greatly exceeded our expectations. They included the deepest hole ever drilled at the Project, OB-24-337, which returned 31.24 g/t Au over 8 metres a full 500 metres beneath the historic mine workings, and OB-24-324 which returned 27.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres 170 metres beneath the base of our "Trend #1". The results for these deep drill holes were prioritised in the laboratory, so as to guide planning for the 2025 drill program, which is almost exclusively aimed at extending O'Brien's gold mineralization to depth as well as following up on the recently re-discovered "Jewellery Box" zone. The 22,000 metre 2025 drill program is proceeding well with three rigs at site with a steady flow of results expected."

Gold Mineralization at O'Brien

Gold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyric andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.

Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:

The O'Brien Gold Project March 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") utilizes a 4.50 g/t Au bottom cutoff, a US$1600 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40 g/t Au upper cap on composites. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off, representing the lower limit of cut-off sensitivity presented in the March 2023 MRE. This methodology differs from previous Radisson disclosure, and intercepts reported in this release may not be directly comparable to historical published intercepts. Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 2 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Drill holes OB-24-328, OB-24-336, OB-24-338, OB-24-343 and OB-24-348 did not return any intercepts averaging above 3.00 g/t Au. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone

As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with near-vertical, high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths.

The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Recent exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").

Based on drilling complete to the end of 2022, the Project has estimated Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.50 million ounces (1.52 million tonnes at 10.26 g/t Au), with additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.45 million ounces (1.60 million tonnes at 8.66 g/t Au). Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The three holes reported are all wedges completed from the previously reported pilot hole OB-24-337 (see Radisson News Release dated December 16, 2024; Figure 1). OB-24-337 was the deepest hole ever drilled at the Project and the first hole drilled directly below the historic O'Brien Mine workings. It intersected 242.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 1.0 metre within a mineralized interval that averaged 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth. Now, three new wedges have all returned additional high-grade gold intercepts, delineating a large zone of multiple veins with good continuity.

M&I Conversion Program Drilling Continues to Expand and Confirm Continuity of High-Grade Gold and Silver Mineralization in the Shallowest Portion of the M&I Conversion Area

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • TXC25-138 returned multiple broad zones of high-grade silver and gold mineralization spanning from 230.4 metres to 241.86 metres down hole, including:
    • 4.24 metres grading 700 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (Ag/Au ratio 90:1) (378.5 g/t silver (Ag) and 3.57 g/t gold (Au)) from 230 metres down hole, including 0.31 metres grading 3,182 g/t AgEq (1,805.0 g/t Ag and 15.27 g/t Au); and
    • 5.18 metres grading 556 gt/ AgEq (328.2 g/t Ag and 2.53 g/t Au) from 236.68 metres, which included intervals of 3,340 g/t AgEq (1,987 g/t Ag and15.0 g/t Au) over 0.31 metres and 1,714 g/t AgEq (1,037.0 g/t Ag and 7.51 g/t Au) over 0.61 metres respectively.
  • There are ten drillholes with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program, and seven drillholes are pending assays from the Resource Expansion program.
  • Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes is now underway, with an updated mineral resource estimate on track for Q3, 2025.

Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) ("Blackrock" or the "Company") announces additional high-grade silver and gold drill intercepts from the M&I Conversion Program (as defined herein) at its 100% owned Tonopah West project ("Tonopah West") located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States.

The Company is currently in the process of completing its in-fill drilling program at Tonopah West which commenced in mid-July 2024 and consists of 62 drillholes within the shallow southern portion of the Bermuda-Merten vein group ("DPB South") resource area (the "M&I Conversion Area") with a goal to convert up to 1.0-million tonnes of material from inferred mineral resources to measured and indicated mineral resources (the "M&I Conversion Program"). The M&I Conversion Area represents the initial years of production based on the mine plan laid out in the Company's Preliminary Economic Assessment on Tonopah West (see September 4, 2024 news release).

Andrew Pollard, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Additional results from our M&I Conversion Program continue to validate our model, supporting mineral continuity as we track and define the geometry of the high-grade shoots within the vein system. Today's results, coupled with results previously announced from this same program, highlight that broader intercepts are associated with higher-than-average grades which should be beneficial in delineating high-grade tonnes. The broad zones of high-grade mineralization encountered in drillhole TXC-138 are a standout for us, as at a composite of 11.46 metres of 514 g/t AgEq (290 g/t Ag & 2.48 g/t Au), this is thickest (composite) zone we've drilled throughout the district outside of the historic Victor mine. As we await the final assays from the M&I Conversion Program, modelling has begun for our upcoming mineral resource update on Tonopah West, currently on track for Q3, 2025."

AgEq = Ag + Au*(Factor); where Factor = (Au Price/Ag Price)*(Au Recovery/Ag Recovery or
Factor=($1900/$23)*(95%/87%)=90.21; True thickness is 90 to 100% of interval thickness based on the modelled
vein geometries; Cut-off grade is 150 gpt AgEq; Reverse Circulation (RC)/Core = RC pre-collar with core tail.

As is evident from Table 1, the highest-grade results are associated with thicker intercepts of quartz vein material. This is similar to previous results seen from the M&I Conversion Program where broader intercepts were encountered, such as: TXC24-095 which returned 5.03 metres of 774.5 g/t AgEq (461.5 g/t Ag and 3.47 g/t Au),1 TXC24-119 which returned 4.69 metres of 714 g/t AgEq (379.0 g/t Ag and 3.72 g/t Au),2 and TXC24-122 which cut 5.21 metres of 563 g/t AgEq (3.02 g/t Au and 292 g/t Ag)3 .This combination of high grade and thickness should have a positive impact on the proposed development of the M&I Conversion Area and the scheduled mineral resource update. Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes has started and an updated mineral resource estimate on Tonopah West is currently scheduled for Q3 2025.

The geometry of the high-grade silver and gold is sizable with high-grade shoots plunging to the northwest within the M&I Conversion Area. These shoots are open to the northwest, east and open down plunge. TXC25-138 shows high-grade shoots have thicker vein intercepts along the axis of the shoot and multiple high-grade intercepts are being returned under the M&I Conversion Program. Allowing for the 3 metres of internal waste, TXC25-138 would have a drill interval of 11.46 metres grading 290.2 g/t Ag and 2.48 g/t Au or 514.3 g/t AgEq. The thickness of this mineralized shoot is approaching those seen in the historic mining at the Victor and Ohio mines where the Victor vein area was 24 metres thick and the Ohio vein area was 15 metres thick4.

Drillholes TXC25-133, -134, -135, and TXC25-136 returned silver and gold assays below the cutoff grade for Table 1. The drillholes returned silver equivalent grades ranging between 100 and 144 g/t AgEq with silver values ranging between 6 to 71 g/t and gold values between 0.51 and 1.34 g/t. There are ten drillholes (TXC25-137, -139, -141, -142, and TXC25-146 to -TXC25-151) with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program. In addition, seven drillholes are pending assays from the Company's exploration drill program that is targeting expansion potential across a one kilometre trend of vein corridor linking the Denver-Paymaster and Bermuda-Merten vein groups and the Northwest step out resource area at Tonopah West (the "Resource Expansion Program") (see February 24, 2025 news release).

Quality Assurance/ Quality Control

All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists, and a strict chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility is implemented and monitored. The RC and core samples are hauled from the project site to a secure and fenced facility in Tonopah, Nevada, where they are loaded on to American Assay Laboratory's (AAL) flat-bed truck and delivered to AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada. A sample submittal sheet is delivered to AAL personnel who organize and process the sample intervals pursuant to the Company's instructions.

The RC samples are lined out at the lab and logged in to AAL's system. The core samples are cut using core saws and personnel at AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada according to the Company's instructions delivered with each core hole.

All samples are dried, crushed to 85% passing 10 mesh (2mm) and a 250-gram sub-sample split is collected and pulverized to 200 mesh (74 micron) in a ring and puck pulverizer. Then the pulverized material is digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP) finish on a 30-gram assay split (FA-PB30-ICP). Silver is determined using five-acid digestion and ICP analysis (ICP-5AM48). Over limits for gold and silver are determined using a gravimetric finish (GRAVAU30 and GRAVAG30). Data verification of the assay and analytical results are completed to ensure accurate and verifiable results. Blackrock personnel insert a blind prep blank, lab blank or a certified reference material approximately every 15th to 20th sample.
