(TSXV: NTY) (OTCQB: RGDCF) (FSE: R9G2) (the \"Company\")is pleased to provide an exploration update for it's 100% owned Golden Frac Sand and metallurgical silica Project (the \"Project\" or the \"Property\"), located near Golden, BC, Canada. During the summer of 2017, a program of mapping and sampling of the Mount Wilson Formation (\"MWF\") was completed to assess its potential for both high-purity silica and frac sand. The program was highly successful with extensive outcrop exposures of the MWF identified and mapped, with a total of 60 samples collected and analyzed with high-purity silica confirmed. Highlights include:22 of the 60 samples returned greater than 99% SiO2, to a peak of 99.89% SiO250 of the 60 samples returned greater than 98% SiO2Low levels of iron contamination, with 55 of the 60 samples returning less than 0.1% Fe2O3Low levels of boron contamination, with samples ranging from 3 to 13 ppm B.Majority of the samples were collected from the easily accessible Frenchman's Ridge deposit, where the MWF has been mapped over a strike length of approximately 1.2 km, an over 400 metre width and is interpreted to be at least 50 metres thick.The results of the program demonstrate the Property hosts a mature quartzite characterized by high-quality and high-purity silica, which outcrops over a considerable strike lengths and thicknesses. In addition to the Property's frac sand potential, the results indicate a considerable potential to address the high-purity silica market where silica serves, as an essential ingredient for use is polysilicon and various metallurgical applications, such as solar cells. Given the favorable exploration results, the Company has strategically expanded its tenure holdings south of Golden. The new tenures total approximately 1,800 ha and cover nearly 6 kilometre-long, low elevation outcrops of the MWF. The tenures are immediately east and south of the Horse Creek silica lease managed by HiTest Sand Inc., which is reportedly being developed as a silica source for a future silica refinery located in Washington State. The field program was completed in June 2017, with a total of 60 samples of quartzite collected from...
