TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2020 /CNW/ - RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) ("RNC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results from the 2020 exploration program at its Higginsville ("HGO") operations. Recent drilling at Hidden Secret and Mousehollow has returned strong results, driving the expansion of proposed open pit dimensions at both projects.  As part of an ongoing review of the historic drilling database at Higginsville, high grade drill intersections have been revealed at the Corona prospect which is located 2.5km from the Higginsville mill. Additionally, RNC is also pleased to announce the discovery of visible gold in a surface sample taken at the Hidden Secret project.

Paul Andre Huet, Chairman & CEO, commented: "The early results of our recent drilling and historical data review at Hidden Secret, Mousehollow and Corona are very positive for the growing project pipeline at HGO.

As part of RNC's due diligence process during the acquisition of HGO last year, it became apparent that little exploration had been carried out across the property for many years, largely due to the onerous royalty covering a large portion of the tenements. The willingness of Morgan Stanley to work with us to reduce the royalty burden has opened up HGO for a renewed exploration program providing us economic incentive to explore and develop these areas to benefit all our stakeholders. While these early results are encouraging, work has only just begun and we are looking forward to the results of our renewed exploration focus on the recently unlocked 1,800km2 Higginsville land package."

Recent Hidden Secret and Mousehollow Drilling

Hidden Secret and Mousehollow are located within the Eundynie historical mining centre 10 km east of the HGO processing plant with mine workings dating back to the early 1900s (see Figure 1).

Following the re-negotiation of the Morgan Stanley royalty at HGO, RNC has completed a total of 204 reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes for 8,108 metres at Hidden Secret and Mousehollow. The drilling has confirmed the high grade nature of the mineralization (approximately 2.0 to 2.5 g/t) at both projects and has also extended mineralization along strike and down dip (see Figures 3, 4). Hidden Secret mineralization now has a strike length over 200 metres and a down-dip extent of 170 metres. Mousehollow currently totals 350 metres in strike length and has a down-dip extent of 150 metres.

Highlights from the drilling are listed below and show that mineralization extends to surface (MOHR0075), while also indicating that it is open at depth. Tables showing complete results and drill hole locations can be found at the end of this release.

Further drilling is planned through the second quarter of 2020 to close-off the recently defined extensions to the Hidden Secret-Mouse Hollow mineralization. Final mine designs will then be completed ahead of near term mining.

Visible Gold mineralization found in surface sample at Hidden Secret

As part of the Company's normal pre-mining procedures, surface samples were collected for a metallurgical test program for the Hidden Secret and Mousehollow projects. When collecting the samples, visible gold was observed in an outcropping quartz vein within the boundary of the proposed Hidden Secret open pit (see Figure 2).

Historical underground workings with high grades at Hidden Secret

A review of records for the Hidden Secret area has revealed the historic "Hidden Secret North" mine where last known mining occurred in 1915.

Multiple historic shafts in the area extend to depths up to 120 metres, with historic records showing grades as high as 210g/t over approximately 0.9m. The potential below these workings is yet to be tested and could provide an opportunity for additional high grade mineralization. A detailed review of previous exploration in the vicinity of the historic workings is in progress.

Historical Database Review – Corona Prospect

As previously announced, RNC is undertaking a review of Historic Mineral Resources and drill results at Higginsville. The Company is presently focused on the Higginsville Central area which is close to existing infrastructure, including the Higginsville mill. The Higginsville Central is defined by near surface gold deposits over 6 km of strike south of the past-producing Trident gold deposit which produced 1.05 Mozs (see Figure 1).

A review of previous exploration work completed by Alacer Gold Corp. ("Alacer") has revealed a number of significant intersections, including the historical discovery of the Corona high grade, laminated quartz vein (the "Corona Prospect") which is located approximately 2.5 km south of the HGO processing plant. The historical discovery hole, VIND047, intersected 658g/t Au over 2.35 m (1.6 m estimated true width). The drill hole intersected a laminated quartz vein with arsenopyrite, galena and abundant free gold mineralization (Alacer Gold Corp. news release dated January, 24, 2012).

The ultra high grade mineralization (see Figure 5) occurs in an area approximately 150 metres to 180 metres below surface, centred around drill holes VIND047, VIND049, VIND076 and VIND092 (Alacer Gold Corp. news release, August 1, 2012). Drill intersections for these holes are listed below (tables showing additional historic results and drill hole locations can be found at the end of this release):

  • VIND047: 657.9 g/t over 2.3 m downhole from 181.1 m (Estimated true width – 1.6 m)
  • VIND049: 225.2 g/t over 1.9 m downhole from 201.5 m (Estimated true width – 1.3 m)
  • VIND076: 60.9 g/t over 2.3 m downhole from 197.2 m (Estimated true width – 1.6 m)
  • VIND092: 147.0 g/t over 0.6 m downhole from 165.7 m (Estimated true width – 0.4 m)

Historical drilling has shown the gold mineralization to be associated with a steeply east-dipping, north-south striking laminated quartz vein up to 2.0 metres wide (see Figure 5). The vein extends over 300 metres down dip, is continuous in strike over 50 to 100 metres lengths and is part of a more extensive 2 to 10 metre wide shear zone. Historical drilling indicates the ultra high grade mineralization is limited to 25 metres along strike and 90 metres down-dip as part of a more extensive, lower grade laminated quartz vein (Alacer Gold Corp. news release, August 1, 2012).

RNC has identified the Corona prospect as a high priority drill target for 2020 with initial drilling targeting near surface potential, up-dip of historical intersections.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Higginsville Mining Operations
A production decision at the Higginsville gold operations was made by previous operators of the mine, prior to the completion of the acquisition of the Higginsville gold operations by RNC and RNC made a decision to continue production subsequent to the acquisition. This decision by RNC to continue production and, to the knowledge of RNC, the prior production decision were not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, which include increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's cash flow and future profitability. Readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.
