Recent results from the Saddle zone, located between the Blackjack and Eiger MRE's (see Figure 1), have returned several intersections of near surface multi-gram gold mineralization that lie within the proposed pit boundary of the Blackjack MRE, but are 300 m east of the current resource outline. Assay results of up to 47.6 m of 2.09 g/t gold, including 8.0 m of 5.07 g/t gold, emphasize the potential of the Saddle zone to significantly increase the Blackjack MRE. Drilling is currently ongoing with four drill rigs turning at Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger and Rhosgobel and assays are pending for an additional 12,951 metres drilled to date this season.Table 1: Assay highlights for this release (see Table 2 for details)*Intervals are drilled core length, as insufficient drilling has been completed at this time to determine true widths.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/6144/259106_7706db08446f285a_002full.jpg\"Assays from the initial drilling completed at RC Gold this summer sea...
