(TSX-V: RAK) (the “Company\n \n\n ”) announces that it has completed the follow-up drill\nprogram at both the HIT and the Peak targets within the Astro Plutonic\nComplex (“APC”).\n \n\n\n\n At HIT the aim of the follow-up program was to attempt\nto vector towards higher grades from the broad low grade sheeted vein\nzones intercepted in the 2023 program, testing the area to the SE and\nNW, and below 2023 holes HIT-003 and HIT-004. Unfortunately, the step\nout drilling returned much weaker sheeted veining in the intrusive\ncore and while full results are not yet returned, further drilling is\nnot justified on the target at this point.  A photogrammetry survey\nand extensive surface sampling and mapping program have been completed\nthis year. The results of this work will be combined with the airborne\ngeophysics flown in 2023 to define further targets at HIT.\n \n\n\n\n The Company also drill tested a new target at Peak,\nwhere sediment hosted veins overlie the Kelvin Stock granite. Sheeted\nveining at surface within the sedimentary rocks had returned grades up\nto 17 g/t Au in Quartz/As/Bi veins with many multi-gram samples. The\naim of the drill program at Peak was to test the sheeted vein zone\ndown dip below the sediments and within the intrusive. The veins\ndefused at the sedimentary/Intrusive contact into weak-stock working\nwith sub-economic gold values.\n \n\n\n\n Work continues at the Cirque target in the Kelvin\nstock, where follow-up work from 2023 anomalous gold in talus fines\nhas discovered a stockwork of flat lying and vertical\nquartz/tourmaline/arsenopyrite veins in the western margins of the\nstock. Results from this sampling are pending.\n \n\n\n\n The Rackla team is also carrying out an extensive soil\nsampling and prospecting program on its Black and Flat properties in\nthe southeastern Tombstone Gold Belt surrounding the Cantung deposit.\n \n\n\n\n Rackla has added new concessions to its portfolio by\nstaking the Grad Property 60 km southeast of the APC.
