Intersects Visible Gold from Drilling at Norwalk Gold Property, near Wawa, OntarioVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 27, 2017) - RT Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RTM) (OTC Pink: RTMFF) (the \"Company\") announces an update on the Norwalk gold property located near Wawa, Ontario further to the Company's news release dated December 12, 2017. The Company has completed four HQ core diamond drill holes totalling 93 metres to test the Red Carbonate Zone (\"RCZ\") and follow up on trenching completed in November 2017. Fifteen grab samples collected during trenching and 66 core samples from drilling have been submitted for gold fire assay or pulp and metallic sieve analysis with fire assay finish to estimate gold content when coarse free gold is present. Results are expected in January 2018. The current drill program is designed to test the geometry and mineralization of the RCZ at shallow depths below November 2017 trenches. All four holes intersected the targeted RCZ and visible gold was observed in two drill holes. Drill core has been split and samples submitted for gold analysis.Hole N17-11 was collared in the hanging wall of the RCZ at an azimuth of 200° and an angle of -60°. The core drill hole intersected 4.1 metres of sulfide-bearing sericite schist and then RCZ at 10.4 metres depth for 3.1 metres core length. Visible gold was observed in a quartz vein at 11.1 metres depth.Hole N17-12 was collared from the same location and azimuth as N17-11, but at a steeper angle of -80°. This hole intersected 2.3 metres of mineralized sericite schist before intersecting 3.6 metres of RCZ from 13.7 metres.Drill holes N17-11 and N17-12 were designed to intersect RCZ and measure the dip angle of the RCZ structure. This orientation is not optimal to sample quartz veins within RCZ. Quartz veins within RCZ are oblique to the plane of the RCZ structure and must be drilled at a different orientation.Drill holes N17-13 and N17-14, collared at 200° azimuth, at -60° and -62° plunge respectively, were positioned to drill down dip of RCZ and intersect quartz veins within RCZ at near-right angles. Down-dip drilling is designed to cut many veins at a more optimal angle so the distribution of gold mineralization in quartz veins within RCZ envelope can be more accurately measured.
