Radisson Announces Additional High-Grade Drill Results and Further Extends New Mineralization Beneath the Historic O'Brien Gold Mine
Radisson Proves Depth Thesis with High-Grade Intercepts as 140,000-Metre Campaign Scales Up
The news release dated January 6, 2026, reports additional high-grade gold assay results from Radisson’s ongoing 140,000-metre deep step-out drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project. Key intercepts include 30.59 g/t Au over 3.0 metres and 25.1 g/t Au over 1.5 metres from wedges drilled beneath the historic O'Brien mine. To date, the company has completed 74 holes of the massive program with an 82% success rate in intersecting mineralization consistent with the current resource grade and thickness. Operationally, the company is increasing its rig count from seven to eight, with 12 additional holes currently awaiting assay results.
This news is materially positive as it continues to validate the "depth thesis"—the hypothesis that the high-grade O'Brien system continues well below the 600-metre depth where 75% of the current resource is located. - Resource Expansion Potential: Intercepting 30.59 g/t Au at depths exceeding 800 metres and other high-grade intervals near 1,300 metres supports the potential for a significant resource upgrade in 2026. - Systematic Success: An 82% success rate on step-out drilling is exceptionally high for deep exploration, reducing the risk that the system is pinching out. - Operational Velocity: Ramping up to eight rigs indicates that the company is fully funded (following the C$25M and C$12M raises in 2025) and is aggressively pursuing a multi-million ounce target. - De-risking the PEA: While the July 2025 PEA was a "snapshot," these results suggest the eventual mine plan could be significantly larger than the 11-year life currently modeled.
Radisson Mining Resources is focused on the O'Brien Gold Project, located in the Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp in Quebec. The project hosts the historic O'Brien Mine, which was one of Quebec's highest-grade producers (15.25 g/t Au). The current strategy focuses on high-margin, low-footprint underground mining, utilizing regional infrastructure for processing rather than building an on-site mill.
