VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: RLL) commenced a 2,500
metre diamond drilling campaign on the Domain Property in northern
Manitoba, Canada.
The Domain Property is host to several strike (up to 3.5km long)
and dip persistent (at least 100m high) NW trending gold bearing
structures that are dipping steeply to the SW. These structures are
associated within silicified zones containing variable sulphide
(pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite) and are structurally and
geologically comparable to the Company's Monument Bay Property
(located 150km to the East). On January 8, 2008 the Company
announced a NI 43-101 compliant updated inferred resource of
4,888,000 tons grading 6.01 g/t gold for 944,000 ounces at a cut
off grade of 3 g/t on the Monument Bay project.
The mineralized structures at the Domain property correlate well
with both aeromagnetic discontinuity as well as ground magnetic and
horizontal loop electromagnetic trends. Before this drill program
there have only been 23 short drill holes totaling 3,600 metres
completed on certain areas of the known structure. All previous
holes drilled returned elevated gold values including:
- 30.90 g/t over 0.7 metres
- 12.6 g/t over 1.3 metres
- 7.18 g/t over 2.6 metres
- 5.4 g/t over 4.1 metres
- 5.0 g/t over 2.6 metres
- 3.56 g/t over 6.5 metres
A minimum 20 hole, 2,500 metre diamond drill program has been
recommended to follow up these encouraging drill hole results with
the objective of further defining the mineralized zone orientation
and delineating the full extent of higher grade zones. Drilling
will also probe the continuity of known mineralized zones along
strike.
The Domain Project, measuring 7 kilometres x 20 kilometres
totaling 14,000 hectares, covers air and ground geophysical targets
over the Gods Lake greenstone belt. It is located 15km east from
Oxford House and is assessable with winter roads. Oxford House,
with a population of approximately 2,500 people, has a motel, fuel
suppliers, a Northern store, nursing station, all season airport
with daily flights to Winnipeg and Thompson, and hydro-electric
power.
The Company owns 51% of the Domain Project and the cost of this
program will earn it an additional interest. The Company can earn
up to a 65% interest with the expenditure of an additional
$700,000.
