Richmond Minerals Inc. - Resumption of Diamond Drilling at the Ridley Lake Property
TORONTO, July 27, 2017 /CNW/ - Richmond Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: RMD) ("Richmond" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Phase III diamond drilling will resume on or about August 1, 2017 at the Company's Ridley Lake Gold Project located in the west central area of the Swayze Greenstone belt approximately 35 kilometres east of Goldcorp's Borden Gold Project.
Phase III of diamond drilling will be focused on targets identified within the Aguara and Aguara East gold showings. Specifically these holes will be collared to test for depth extensions to wide zones of gold mineralization intercepted in the initial 1989 diamond drilling program, and holes drilled during the July 2016 Phase II program.
As reported gold-bearing intervals associated with mafic to intermediate metavolcanic units and a porphyry intrusion were encountered in all Phase I and II holes. Richmond is planning to drill up to 3,000 meters in this phase of drilling and results will be released as they become available.
The Company also announces its annual and special meeting for fiscal year end 2016 will be held at Richmond's corporate head office located at 133 Richmond St. W, Suite 403 on August 14, 2017 at 11 am.
