Follow-up Drilling Commences on Renaissance Gold’s Jupiter Project

White Rock, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Renaissance Gold Inc. TSX.V:REN (“RenGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of a follow-up drilling program on its Jupiter Project, Nye County, Nevada.  The Jupiter Project is subject to an earn-in agreement with Ramelius Resources Ltd. (ASX:RMS). (see NR dated June 21, 2017).

Robert Felder, President and CEO states, “We are very pleased to have our partner returning for a second round of drilling.  The drill results from 2017 identified significant gold mineralization nearly a kilometer away from previously known gold mineralization on the property.  This opens up a large, prospective area for discovery on the project and we are very much looking forward to the results of this exciting program”

In 2017, Ramelius completed a seven-hole, reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling program, totaling 1195 meters (3920 feet) representing a preliminary test of two target areas.  Six of the seven holes were drilled in the NE Pediment Gravity Target, and one hole was drilled as a first test of the Eagle Target.  The NE Pediment target returned four holes with anomalous gold mineralization, with the best intercept of 9.1m @ 1.1 g/t Au (See NR dated January 29, 2018).  These four holes were drilled across significant graben-bounding structures interpreted from gravity data and intersected a consistent increase in gold grade to the southeast (See Figure 1). 

The current Phase II follow-up program includes plans for 1524m (5000 feet) of RC drilling in 7 holes, offsetting the mineralization encountered in the Phase I program, and also drilling structural targets to explore for potential higher grade feeder structures.
