ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 4, 2013) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators) ("Radisson") is pleased to announce that it closed a $108,000 private placement for development of the O'Brien/Kewagama project.
In connection with this placement, Radisson issued 600,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.18. These shares are divided among six private investors. No cash compensation is linked to the placement and the shares issued are subject to a hold period of four months and one day.
Radisson's management intends to use the proceeds of this placement to continue updating the resource calculation for its O'Brien/Kewagama project. "We are confident and believe we can substantially increase resources with this new calculation, which will be conducted by an independent firm," said the President of Radisson, Mario Bouchard.
Last fall, Radisson began a drilling program (see press release of November 27, 2012) to update the O'Brien/Kewagama project's previous resource calculation (NI 43-101)-conducted by Scott Wilson RPA in May 2007. The results of this drilling program will be released shortly.
ABOUT RADISSON MINING RESOURCES:
Radisson is a Québec-based mineral exploration company. Radisson's main asset, the O'Brien/Kewagama project is located on the Cadillac Break, 5 km west of the Lapa gold mine and approximately 4 km southeast of the LaRonde mine, both owned by Agnico-Eagle.
The project hosts the O'Brien Mine, which is considered the highest grade gold producer of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (production of 1,302,000 tons at 0.448 oz/t from 1932 to 1955).
The Company's exploration work on the project has confirmed the presence of 218,540 ounces of gold (indicated resource) (based on an indicated resource of 270,000 tons at an uncut grade of 0.56 oz/ton and an inferred resource of 182,000 tons at an uncut grade of 0.37 ounces) as defined in the Scott Wilson RPA NI 43-101 report of May 2007. These resources, all outlined above the 650-metre level, are located about 800 metres east of the old O'Brien mine workings, and represent a new discovery of high grade mineralization of the same type mined and produced at the O'Brien gold mine. These resources are in a gold zone referred to as Zone 36.
In 2011 and 2012, the Company carried out two Diamond drilling programs, resulting in new discoveries in the largely unexplored eastern portion of the project (Kewagama) and further definition of the eastern extension of Zone 36 mineralisation.
