Radisson Intersects 6.9 g/t Gold over 7.1 m within wider intercept of
3.9 g/t Gold over 21.4 meters at O’Brien
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec: Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (“Radisson” or the “Company") is
pleased to announce additional results from the 21,800 m drill program completed in 2017 at the
O’Brien gold project located along the Cadillac Break halfway between Rouyn-Noranda and Val-
d’Or in Quebec, Canada. As disclosed on multiple occasions in 2017 (See May 9th, June 20 th,
September 12th and November 8th press releases) the company continues to confirm the vertical
and lateral continuity of high-grade gold intercepts within wider lower grade mineralized halo on
the 36E zone of the O’Brien deposit.
Press release highlights:
Hole OB-17-55 intersected 11.8 g/t Au over 2.4 m and 6.9 g/t Au over 7.1 m within 3.9 g/t
Au over 21.4 m at depth of 261.6 m and 275.9 m respectively on the 36E zone.
(See figure 1 and figure 2).
Today’s results are from 2,259 m of drilling (6 drill holes), assays are currently pending from
approximately 2,834 m of drilling (11 drill holes).
Resource growth pote ntial highlighted by the 31,8 00 m of drilling completed on 36E,
Kewagama and Vintage zone north of the O’Brien deposit since 2016.
Resource estimate update underway at O’Brien. The company expects to publish results
from the updated resource estimate during the first quarter of 2018.
Historical drill core re-logging and assaying ongoing on 36E where 28 shallow historical drill
holes were selected re-logged and sent for assaying.
“Current results continue to demonstrate strong mineralization continuity and resource growth
potential on both 36E and Kewagama zones. The fact that we continue to encounter high -grade
gold mineralization within wider lower -grade halo at various depths is encouraging. The re -log
and assaying program of shallower historical drill holes represents a game changing opportunity
for the expansion of the O’Brien deposit moving forward. We are also excited about the second
phase exploration-drilling program well underway on the Vintage Zone. The drilling program
should deliver more insight on the potential of the new zone identified a few meters north of the
deposit in 2017, ” commented Mario Bouchard, President and CEO.
Historical drill core re-logging and assaying
In light of the wide zones of mineralization recently int ersected on 36E area , the company is
reviewing drill cores from a n additional series of historical drill holes in the near-surface area of
the 36E zone. After re -log, selected drill core were sent for assaying. Prior to 2016, most of
these holes have incomplete assay within the Piche group sequence. Only highly mineralized
zones were assayed without paying attention to a possible wider low-grade halo model.

Results are presented as down hole width; true widths are estimated between 55 to 70% of down-hole thickness.
All drill cores in this campaign are NQ in size. A ssays were completed on sawn half-cores, with
the second half kept for future reference. The samples were analyzed using standard fire assay
procedures with Atomic Absorption ( AA) finish at Swastika Laboratories Ltd, in Swastika ,
Ontario. Samples yielding a grade higher than 5 g/t were analyzed a second time by fire assay
with gravimetric finish at the same laboratory. Samples containing visible gold were analyzed
with metallic s ieve procedure. Standard reference materials and blank samples were inserted
prior to shipment for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program.
