Rupert Resources Ltd. announced results reports from the 7,000m Pahtavaara mine exploration program. The results reported include high-grade intercepts in holes from the NFE zone where two mineralised trends are being drilled. These intersections are outside of the current known resource, in areas of limited historic drilling and in close proximity to the existing open pits and underground infrastructure. NFE Lower Trend-Hole 119519 intersected 181.1g/t Au over 1.7m from 165.3m (including 438g/t Au over 0.7m) extending the width of the high-grade shoot from previous drilling by 28m. Hole 119512 intersected 111g/t Au over 0.65m from 121m in hole 119512 extending the shoot towards surface from previous drilling. The vertical extent is now estimated to be in excess of 200m. NFE Upper Trend-Hole 119519 intersected 4.2g/t Au over 11m from 82.4m (including 6.5g/t Au over 1.3m and 25.1g/t Au over 1.1m) demonstrating increased width of this zone with depth. Holes 119509 and 119511 intersected 5.6g/t over 1.1m and 10.7g/t Au over 1.0m at between 50 to 60m depth, demonstrating the zone extends below the previously mined shallow open pit. Drilling at NFE zone by Rupert Resources since 2016 has identified the potential for at least two mineralized trends that strike to the north west up to 400m and dip to the southwest. These trends are host to high-grade mineralization that appears to exist as plunging shoots that are orientated similarly to previously mined zones at Pahtavaara. Drilling and channel sampling from underground infrastructure indicates that these shoots may continue to depths of at least 400m with the deposit remaining open beyond this. This targeted drilling based on the revised geological interpretation of Pahtavaara continues to intersected mineralization with grades well in excess of the 3.2g/t Au of the current Inferred Resource completed in April 2018. Furthermore the 2019 drilling is demonstrating that the extent of the plunging shoots that are being defined can be further expanded. The 1,609m of drilling reported brings the total reported from the ongoing mine exploration campaign to 2,871m. Assays are pending from a number of other holes targeting step outs along both the upper and lower trends to the NW and SE as well as from the Harpoon target. Further drilling to delineate the potential surface expressions of all the mineralized zones at Pahtavaara is underway along with underground drilling to test a series of further potential resource extensions. Mineralization at the NFE target is hosted by massive amphibolite with intense dolomite veining and hosts proximal, pervasive and veined, biotite and/or magnetite alteration. The massive amphibolite itself is hosted within a sequence of talc schists, part of the Saatasvaara Komatiite Formation.
