BALLARD LAKE GOLD – DIAMOND PROPERTY DRILL PLAN
As outlined in the Company’s news release dated November 10, 2016, the Company has established potential for deep crustal or mantle tapping conduits on the Ballard Lake property, which is indicated by alkali ultramafic dikes and kimberlites on the property. The Company staked many exploration targets in the immediate area, and has increased the area of the Ballard Lake Property to 160 square kilometres (~15,970 hectares).
RT Minerals Corp.’s Ballard Lake property includes two historical diamond-bearing kimberlite occurrences: GC1 (16 diamonds from 93.1 kg), and Fletch (6 diamonds from 51.48 kg). Diamond results were reported by Chalice Diamond Corp. in February 2008.
RT Minerals Corp. has commenced regional compilation and will apply for an exploration permit on the new claims with objective to drill test known diamond bearing kimberlites and other potential kimberlite targets. It is anticipated that the permit will be secured in 60 days.
The Ballard Lake property lies in the Wawa supracrustal belt of the Superior Craton, which is currently being explored by major and junior exploration companies for both gold and diamonds.
Kevin Kivi, P.Geo., has extensive experience in the exploration for gold and diamonds in Canada. He is the Qualified Person for the Company’s Norwalk and Ballard Lake properties and approves the technical content of this press release.
