News Release No. 17-17
Drilling Commenced on Rainy Mountain’s Brunswick Gold Exploration Property
West Vancouver, British Columbia – May 24, 2017 - Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. (the
“Company” or “Rainy Mountain”) is pleased to report that drilling is now underway on the
Company’s optioned gold exploration property (the “B runswick Property” or “Property”). The
Brunswick Property is accessible year round by bush road connecting to Highway 560 that links
to the west with Highway 144 and then north to Timmins (via Highway 101).
Presently, the Company intends to complete 15 drill holes (10 dr ill sites selected on the east side
of the Property and five additional drill sites selected on the west side of the Property).
Additional drill sites are also being considered and will be determined as the current drill
program continues.
Prior to commence ment of the current drill program, Rainy Mountain continued sampling
outcrops and exposures on the west side of the Brunswick Property and began trenching with a
back hoe on May 9 th in an attempt to expose four carbonate alteration zones associated with the
recently completed Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey . The IP surveys have been continued on
in-fill lines to better define the anomalies (at 100m spacings using 25m stations and an “a”
spacing for the elect rodes of 25m to obtain better resolutio n). The IP surveys have detected the
present of sulphide mineralization within the sericite carbonate zones which would be the normal
setting for associated gold mineralization.
A magnetometer survey was also completed (with readings taken at 12.5m intervals), which
helps outline the carbonate zones (being a low magnetic signature ) and also assists in locating
diabase dikes which cross the mineralization in a northerly direction.
As well, recent t renching has exposed crack seal quartz veins with ser icite and hydromuscovite
(apple green mica) on the fractures in the quartz, as well as disseminated sulphide zones flanking
the quartz veins. The Company believes that these mineral settings are favourable hosts for gold
mineralization and are similar to the setting found at the Bell Creek Mine in Timmins, Ontario.
Further, a dditional sampling has been done to determine the distribution of the pathfinder
elements for gold ( such as arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) ), which were previously detected in
the fall of 2016 (see the Company’s news release of January 3, 2017 for additional details ).
Fifteen samples (of the 22 samples submitted in May 2017) were either elevated in antimony or
very anomalous and the crack seal vein (found 200m west of the original antimony site) was also
very a nomalous in a ntimony. Arsenic was also detected , which is often peripheral to gold
mineralization. The Company believes that a ll of the anomalous values are geochemically
significant, from an exploration point of view , but are not at any toxic level. This information
will assist the Company in finalizing where future drill holes will be placed.

A core shack with logging tables and cor e saw has been set up near the P roperty to receive and
process core in a secure facility from the current drill program. Field sampling and trenching has
been carried out and/or supervised by the C ompany Qualified Person, R.S. Middleton , P.Eng.,
and assisted by the prospector, Michael Tremblay.
This news release has been reviewed and approved by Robert Middleton, P.Eng., who is acting as the
Company’s Qualified Person for the Brunswick Property project, in accordance with regulations
under NI 43-101.
