RAINY MOUNTAIN ROYALTY PROVIDES UPDATE FOR ITS MARSHALL
LAKE PROPERTY
MARSHALL LAKE PROJECT UPDATE, NORTHERN ONTARIO
Vancouver, British Columbia (January 6, 2022) – Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. (TSXV: RMO) (Frankfurt:
EK7N-FF) (“Rainy Mountain” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on diamond drilling
currently being undertaken on its Marshall Lake copper-zinc-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS)
property, located northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Company also reports that it has entered into a
loan agreement for $500,000 to fund general working capital and the ongoing exploration program
involving diamond drilling as well as ground geophysical surveys for its 25% working interest in the project.
The focus of the current 3,000 metre drilling program is a large, strong untested Induced Polarization (IP)
anomaly (“deep IP target”), situated adjacent to and below the Billiton copper-zinc-silver VMS deposit,
with a secondary focus on other base-metal occurrences on the property that have seen little or no
historical drilling. Drilling progress has been slow, and the deep IP target has yet to be tested; however,
the current drill hole is providing positive indications that it may be related to a sizeable VMS deposit.
Diamond drilling is set to resume this week.
DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS
Highlighting the most recent drilling is the intersection of two well-mineralized alteration zones in hole
Mar-21-03. Both zones contain appreciable blebby, stringer and heavily disseminated to semi-massive
pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, hosted within felsic volcaniclastic rocks characterized by intense
biotite, chlorite, actinolite and silicic alteration. Such mineralization and alteration are typical of stringer
or footwall zones, seen proximal or below massive sulphide deposits (photos of the drill core from hole
Mar-21-03 are posted on the Copper Lake website at www.copperlakeresources.com).
The target for Mar-21-03 is an untested VTEM airborne conductor, modelled to be at a depth of 150
metres down-the-hole. The presence of the two well-mineralized alteration zones situated at shallower
depth in the hole (64.20 to 66.87 metres and 72.33 to 76.07 metres respectively) is very encouraging and
suggests the possibility of encountering massive sulphides at the VTEM target depth of 150 metres, as
well as in the underlying deep IP target. Hole Mar-21-03 was at a depth of 112 metres when drilling
recessed for the Christmas break and will be a priority for completion when drilling resumes.
Drill hole Mar-21-01 targeted the projected down-plunge extension of the Billiton deposit, intersecting it
over a core length of 8.25 metres. It comprises mostly disseminated pyrite with narrow zones of semi-
massive pyrite and pyrrhotite, with lesser chalcopyrite and sphalerite, within chloritized, biotitic and
sericitized volcanic rocks.
Hole Mar-21-02 was collared at the same site as Mar-21-03 but was abandoned at a depth of 12 metres,
due to the presence of several large boulders in the overburden.
Drill core for all mineralization obtained to date has been submitted to a laboratory for assay; drill results
will be released as they become available.
DEEP IP TARGET
Upon completion of Mar-21-03, drill holes Mar-22-01 and Mar-22-02 will test the heart of the deep IP
target, characterized by high conductivity/low resistivity and high chargeability, at a v ertical depth of
approximately 350 metres. Both holes are intended to intersect the deep IP target where the highest
conductivity and chargeability overlap within this large untested anomaly with dimensions of 800 x 300 x
300 metres (see Figures 1A and 1B). The anomaly is situated between 150 to 450 metres below surface
and represents a new target area, never previously tested by diamond drilling. The deep IP target appears
to be situated down-plunge from the Billiton copperzinc-silver massive sulphide deposit (historical
resource of 2.2 MT at 1.3% copper, 4.2% zinc and 2.5 opt silver1) in a fold hinge, a favourable structural
location for finding large, massive sulphide deposits.
An orientation gravity survey will be completed over the deep IP target in early January to provide further
data on the size and geometry of the sulphide mineralized zone and to assist with the targeting of future
drill holes. A more widespread gravity survey will also be considered to help identify other deep drill
targets within this large high-priority area.
Additionally, borehole electromagnetic (BHEM) surveys will be completed on all drill holes undertaken by
the Company on all targets. BHEM surveys are important tools when exploring for VMS deposits as they
assist in vectoring towards conductive sulphide bodies.
DEEDS ISLAND TARGET
The Marshall Lake Belt clearly has potential for discovery of multiple VMS deposits - there are several
attractive targets that have seen little or no drilling. The Deeds Island area is one such target, comprising
an 800-metre long zinc bedrock geochemical anomaly (up to 1,000 ppm zinc), closely associated with a
strong extensive garnet-actinolite alteration zone and coincident airborne EM conductors. It is situated 6
km to the east of the Billiton deposit in younger rocks and represents another prospective VMS target on
the Property that has seen no historic drilling (see Figure 2).
A gravity survey will be completed over the Deeds Island area to help prioritize drill targets over this large,
prospective anomaly. Line cutting has been completed in preparation for the gravity survey, anticipated
to commence in the first week of January. Follow-up drilling will occur shortly thereafter, while freeze-up
conditions are in effect in this area. 1 The resource described above is considered historic under NI-43-
101 guidelines and have not been verified by an Independent Qualified Person and therefore should not
be relied upon. The Company is not treating the historic resource as a current Mineral Resource.
LOAN AGREEMENT
Rainy Mountain has entered into two arm's-length loan agreements dated January 1, 2022.
Pursuant to the loan agreements, the lenders provided the Company an aggregate unsecured loan of
$500,000, for a period of 12 months from the last advance made thereunder at an interest rate of 10 per
cent per annum, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The facility may, in whole or in
part, be prepaid without bonus or penalty.
As consideration for providing the loans, the lenders will receive an aggregate of 2,777,778 common
shares purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.18 for one year. The bonus warrants will be subject
to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. The bonus warrants are subject
to TSX-V and regulatory approval.
