RNC Minerals Drills 21m of 7.09g/t gold at Beta Hunt Extending Western Flanks Gold Mineralization at Depth; Provides Exploration Update

TORONTO, June 26, 2017/ - RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) ("RNC") announces continued positive infill and extension drilling results at its Beta Hunt Mine in Western Australia.
 
"The latest drill results from the Western Flanks Zone continue to demonstrate the immense potential to multiply the existing gold resource at Beta Hunt. The latest drilling confirms the extension of Western Flanks mineralization at depth in multiple holes, nearly doubling the vertical extent of Western Flanks mineralization to 190 metres below the contact. Current drilling has yielded the best intersections yet in the Western Flanks as hole WF18-028 returned 7.09 g/t gold over a downhole length of 21 meters. Infill drilling at Western Flanks and the A Zone Extension continue to return excellent results in terms of both grade and thickness, and we have added a second drill to allow us to accelerate our resource expansion efforts," said Mark Selby, President and CEO of RNC.
