[{"type":"text","content":"Rupert Resources Identifies New Gold Anomalies At The Pahtavaara Project In Northern FinlandTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2019 / Rupert Resources Ltd (\"Rupert\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Pahtavaara Project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. Current activities are focused on adding to the 474koz Inferred resource at Pahtavaara from targets in Rupert's 290km2 contiguous land package in close proximity to the 1400tpd permitted mill and tailings facility at the property.James Withall, Chief Executive of Rupert Resources said \"Our exploration efforts at the Pahtavaara Project continue to demonstrate the potential of the region. Further base of till (BoT) sampling gold anomalies have been identified near to the mine in the Arttu target area and at Area 1, a previously untested area in the south west of the licence that has been generated from our new detailed geophysics and regional geological interpretation. With three BoT rigs active and a ground gravity survey underway the team is excited about the potential to generate further BoT and diamond drilling targets over the coming months.\"Regional exploration programRupert has now completed approximately 2,400 points of the planned 8,500-point BoT programme that began in November and has three rigs active to accelerate the work both near to the mine, and over the extensive duplex structural zone that extends west from close to the Pahtavaara mine, to the western extent of the contiguous 290km2 land holding.ArttuResults have now been received for the remaining lines of the Arttu area sampled in January with two new gold anomalies identified (see Figure 1). The first area in the north east extent of sampling grid potentially extends the trend of anomalies that are aligned east-north-east from Paskamaa East up to 1.75km. The second area lies on the northern side of the Pahtavaara hill just 600m to the east of the mill facility in an area of shallow till cover where sample values up to 1.1ppm Au were recovered. Given the extents of both these new areas remain undefined, further extensions to the sampling grid and infill programmes are being planned and will begin when one of the rigs completes its programme in the western areas.Figure 1.
