(TSXV:RAK) (the “Company”) is pleased to\nannounce that the Company has commenced diamond drilling at the HIT\nproperty, Yukon. The drilling at HIT is part of the previously\nannounced 3,000 m drill program focussed on targeting a Reduced\nIntrusion-related Gold System (RIRGS) in the intrusive bodies at the\nAstro plutonic complex. The Company plans to drill 1,000 m in 5 holes\nat HIT on targets identified by airborne geophysics,\nboots-on-the-ground prospecting, talus fines and rock sampling.\n \n \n \n \n A high priority 1,000 m by 400 m Au/Bi/As anomaly has\nbeen defined in soils, rock and talus fines associated with a\nnorthwest trending structural corridor exhibiting strong sheeted vein\nzones in outcrop within the intrusive stock.\n \n \n \n \n The HIT property is underlain by the Canol Stock, a\nmonzogranite intrusion of the Tombstone Suite (Figure 1). The wide\nspaced drilling is being focused on this structural corridor testing\nthe Ridge Zone, the Central Zone and the Mehitabel Zone (Figure 1,\nTable 1).\n \n \n \n \n Figure\n \n \n \n \n 1\n \n \n : HIT\nproperty mineralized zones.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n \n \n \n The Ridge Zone is characterized as a highly tectonized\nintrusive with sheeted veins containing\npyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite. Talus fine sampling in the area has\nreturned 1.3 g/t gold over 6 m. This zone was tested with HIT-002,\nresults pending.\n \n \n \n \n The Central Zone is located 600m N/W of the Ridge zone\nand here float samples have returned 20 g/t Au and 4.9 g/t Au in grab\nsamples. This zone was tested by HIT-001 with results pending.\n \n \n \n \n The Mehitabel zone is located a 1,000m N/E of the Ridge\nZone at the northern margin of the Monzogranite, where it is in\ncontact with carbonaceous finely bedded siltstone. Sheeted veins\ncutting\n \n \n the siltstone and the intrusive stock\nhere have returned strongly anomalous gold values both in the vein and\nskarn zones, up to 3.4 g/t Au.  This zone was tested in HIT -003,\nresults pending.\n \n \n \n \n \n Image 1.
