Sampling Also Delivers Positive Results of Up To 0.174 g/t Platinum (Pt); 0.669 g/t Palladium (Pd); 4,549 ppm Copper (Cu); and 1,613 ppm Nickel (Ni)
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/17/16 -- Reliant Gold Corp. ("Reliant Gold" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: RNG) is pleased to announce that the Summer 2016 Surface Sampling Program ("2016 Program"), recently completed at its East Bay Property, has delivered exciting results of up to 86.461 g/t Gold (Au); 0.174 g/t Platinum (Pt); 0.669 g/t Palladium (Pd); 4,549 ppm Copper (Cu); and 1,613 ppm Nickel (Ni). The 2016 Program was carried out on behalf of the Corporation by Bjorkman Prospecting, an award winning, multi-generational family of prospectors and geologists from the Thunder Bay, Ontario area. The 2016 Program was conducted in August 2016 by a two-person team led by Ms. Ruth Bjorkman. Ms. Bjorkman has a decade of experience in surveying, sampling and prospecting and she holds a Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Lakehead University, in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The team transported the samples to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario and submitted them for sample preparation and analysis.
Reliant Gold''s East Bay Property is located in the McVicar Lake area in northwestern Ontario (the "Property"). The Property, comprised of 56 mineral claim units totalling 896 hectares, is situated approximately 90 kilometres west of Pickle Lake, Ontario and 130 kilometres southwest of Goldcorp Inc.''s Musselwhite Gold Mine. The Property is the site of three historical zones of gold occurrences: (1) the Altered Zone; (2) the North Flexure Zone; and (3) the Apple Island Zone. In addition, the Property hosts a historical copper-nickel occurrence enriched in the platinum group metals known as the Hoey Syndicate Occurrence. All four of these occurrences on the Property are registered in the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines ("MNDM"), Mineral Deposit Inventory ("MDI") database.
QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL ("QA/QC") PROTOCOL
During the course of the 2016 Program, a total of 125 grab rock samples were collected and then delivered (including a set of commercial standards and blanks for quality assurance/quality control) by Reliant Gold''s prospecting team directly to Accurassay Laboratories, located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, for assaying and testing for the following metals: Gold (Au), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd). Accurassay Laboratories is an ISO - 17025 accredited laboratory providing high-quality mineral analysis to mining and mineral exploration companies for more than 35 years. A gold standard and blank were inserted with every batch of 30 samples submitted for mineral analysis and performed satisfactorily. Any samples that returned an initial fire assay value for Gold (Au) exceeding 10 g/t Au were re-assayed using the fire assay method with a gravimetric finish.
