Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. announced that it has commenced drilling on the east grid of the Company's optioned gold exploration property located 140 km south of Timmins, Ontario. The Company intends to proceed with a proposed 1500m drill program to follow up on the August 2017 trenching results and to test the extensions of the original gold showing. These new targets on the extension have been exposed by trenching and induced polarization ("IP") surveys. Other parallel shear zones will also be tested. Step out drill holes (along strike to Drill Hole BE17-04) will be drilled to trace anomalous gold (Au) and arsenic (As) values that are potential indicators of a nearby gold zone.
