News Release No. 13-09
Second Drill hole into the 'RM Zone' Geophysical Target
Intersects 70 metres of 0.54% Copper Including 16 metres of 1.34% Copper
at Marshall Lake Property, Ontario
West Vancouver, British Columbia – April 25, 2013 – Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. (the “Company” or “Rainy Mountain”)
is pleased to announce that its joint venture partner, White Tiger Mining Corp. (“White Tiger” – TSX-V:WTC) has reported additional drilling assay results for its recently completed core drill program. White Tiger has indicated that drill core hole RMZ 13-41 (which was collared 25 metres north of hole RMZ 13-40 on its Marshall Lake property) has further tested the IP chargeability anomaly and up-dip extension of mineralization in hole RMZ 13-40. Drill hole RMZ 13-40 returned 43 metres of 1.38% copper (Cu), 5.40 g/tonne silver (Ag) and 0.040 g/tonne gold (Au) (see news release dated April 23, 2013).
The assay results for drill hole RMZ 13-41 are presented in the following table:
Hole Number | From (metres) | To (metres) | Width (metres) | Cu (%) | Ag (g/tonne) | Au (g/tonne) |
RMZ 13-41 | 84 | 154 | 70 | 0.54 | 2.07 | 0.031 |
including | 123 | 153 | 30 | 0.85 | 3.02 | 0.032 |
including | 137 | 153 | 16 | 1.34 | 4.72 | 0.055 |
According to White Tiger, all drill core was split at the Marshall Lake property and sample preparation was done by ALS Canada in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Pulp samples (<75 microns) were then sent by secure courier to ALS Canada in North Vancouver, British Columbia and analyzed by ICP spectrometer ("ICP") using a 0.5g representative pulp dissolved in Aqua Regia (3 acid) digestion. All samples grading over 1.0% copper were re-assayed with ore grade ICP and Aqua Regia digestion. Gold analysis was done on a 30 gram sample by fire assay extraction with AA ("Atomic Absorption") finish.
Updating of the 3-D model of the RM zone is now underway by White Tiger.
The Marshall Lake property is an advanced exploration stage copper, silver and gold project located 30 km west of Nakina, Ontario (access is via good all weather gravel road from Hwy 11 and 22 km north of the main CNR rail line).
White Tiger has the option to earn a 50% interest in the Marshall Lake property project from Rainy Mountain and Marshall Lake Mining PLC (“MLM”) by spending $4 million in exploration expenditures over 5 years and issuing 2 million shares over 4 years to Rainy Mountain. As well, White Tiger has the additional option to increase its interest to 75% by incurring such additional expenditures as are necessary to take the project to bankable feasibility stage. As at October 31, 2012, White Tiger has earned a 25% joint venture interest in the Marshall Lake property project.
This news release has been reviewed and approved by Gordon Gibson, P.Geo., who is acting as the Company’s Qualified Person for the Marshall Lake property project, in accordance with regulations under NI 43-101.
