TORONTO--()--Rupert Resources Ltd (“Rupert” or the “Company”), a company advancing the multi-million-ounce Ikkari gold deposit and new regional discoveries at the company’s 100% owned Rupert Lapland Project in Northern Finland, is pleased to announce that infill drilling at Ikkari is returning higher gold grades and exploration drilling has extended mineralisation at the Company’s largely untested Heinä Central target.

Ikkari has a National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource estimate of 49 million tonnes (“Mt”) at 2.5 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) for 3.95 million ounces (see Sept. 13, 2021 press release) 1. Approximately 80,000 metres (“m”) of drilling is planned for 2022; 60% focused on upgrading and expanding the Ikkari resource estimate, with the remainder allocated to regional exploration.

HIGHLIGHTS

Ikkari

Infill drilling has returned significant intervals of gold mineralization, in places, at higher grades than estimated in the reported resource estimate (Sept 2021). Drilling (tables 1 and 2b) also confirms high-grade continuity of the central mineralised zone, including:

  • #121158 returning 9.4 g/t Au over 13m from 166m and 4.5 g/t Au over 97m from 220m and
  • #121125 returning 3.8 g/t Au over 102m from 310m (240m vertical), including 6.9 g/t Au over 42m

Infill drilling from the east of Ikkari has identified higher grades than previously intersected in a mineralised zone with vertical continuity:

  • #121154 – 12.6 g/t Au over 8m from 105m (117m vertical)
  • #121134 – 4.2 g/t Au over 24m from 225m (175m vertical)
  • #121145 – 3.8 g/t Au over 15m from 324m (254m vertical)
  • #121148 – 5.5 g/t Au over 17m from 379m (297m vertical)

Heinä Central

Recent drilling from the regional program has been focused on the Heinä Central discovery, located 1 kilometre (“km”) north of Ikkari, as part of an ongoing definition drilling program (see Nov. 29, 2021, press release). Previous limited drilling at Heinä Central intersected not only broad intervals of gold mineralization, but also copper. New high-grade gold and copper results from Heinä Central support plunge potential to depth evidenced by:

  • #121131 – 4.5 g/t Au and 2.1% Cu over 14.7m from 131m (109m vertical) and 2.9 g/t Au and 0.6% Cu over 10m from 153m (128m vertical)
  • #121133 – 3.0 g/t Au and 0.7% Cu over 15m from 239m (208m vertical)

James Withall, CEO of Rupert Resources commented “The results reported today show there is not only value to be unlocked at Ikkari through resource growth, but strengthening the grade of what is already a high-quality asset. We are consistently drilling higher grades at Ikkari than the September 2021 resource estimate. We are also encouraged by new drilling from Heinä Central which has extended plunge of the target with drilling still at comparatively shallow depths. We are on an aggressive growth track: we now have six rigs turning at Ikkari and other targets with a plan to drill almost three times the number of metres in the key winter season than was achieved in the equivalent period last year. “

Ikkari and Heinä Central are two of six discoveries identified and drilled to date that are located on a 5km long highly prospective section of a 20km regional domain-bounding structure, located within the 735km2 Rupert Lapland Project (figure 1). The six discoveries were made within one year (Q2 2019 to Q2 2020).

Ikkari – new drill results

Results from a further 17 primarily infill holes (figure 2) continue to highlight the exceptional mineralised continuity of the Ikkari orebody with several incidences of grades in excess of those modelled in the September 2021 mineral resource estimate. Further high-grade results include, in the central section, #121125 which returned 3.8g/t Au over 102m from 310m (240m vertical), including 6.9g/t Au over 42m and #121158 which returned 9.4g/t Au over 13m from 166m and 4.5g/t Au over 97m from 220m. In the eastern section, four new intersections indicated improved grade over a 300m vertical depth (figure 3) than estimated in the September 2021 resource block model.

Drilling has now recommenced from the north of Ikkari which will allow deeper step-out drilling of the western and central sections of the deposit.

Heinä Central – new drill results

Further drilling from the Heinä Central discovery (figure 4), located 1km north of Ikkari (figure 1), have further defined a plunging fold axis that contains significant grade and continuity of gold as well as copper, and remains open to depth (figure 5). Geological modelling of the fold indicates further exploration potential of as yet un-tested fold limbs and potential new hinge zones.

Deeper intercepts of the plunge zone in holes #121131, returning 4.5g/t Au and 2.1% Cu over 14.7m from 131m (110m vertical) and 2.9g/t Au and 0.6% Cu over 10m from 153m (128m vertical) (figure 5) and on the adjacent section (40m away) #121133 intersected 3.0g/t Au and 0.7% Cu over 15m from 239m (208m vertical) indicating that the mineralised zone extends to depth.

Further high-grade gold potential is demonstrated in recent results with 32.9g/t Au over 5m from 78m in hole #121141, including 101g/t Au over 1m (copper results pending), tracking the fold zone towards surface.

Drill testing of the depth extent is planned for Q1 2022.

Geological interpretation

Ikkari and Heinä Central were discovered using systematic regional exploration that initially focused on geochemical sampling of the bedrock/till interface through glacial till deposits of 5m to 40m thickness. No outcrop is present, and topography is dominated by low-lying swamp areas.

The Ikkari deposit occurs within rocks that have been regionally mapped as 2.05-2.15 billion years (“Ga”) old Savukoski group greenschist-metamorphosed mafic-ultramafic volcanic rocks, part of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (“CLGB”). Gold mineralisation is largely confined to the structurally modified unconformity at a significant domain boundary. Younger sedimentary lithologies are complexly interleaved, with intensely altered ultramafic rocks, and the mineralized zone is bounded to the north by a steeply N-dipping cataclastic zone. In general, alteration and structure appear to be sub-vertical, with lithologies generally dipping ~70 degrees north.

The main mineralized zone is strongly altered and characterised by intense veining and foliation that frequently overprint original textures. An early phase of finely laminated, grey ankerite/dolomite veins is overprinted by stockwork-like irregular siderite ± quartz ± chlorite ± sulphide veins. These vein arrays are often deformed with shear-related boudinage and in situ brecciation. Magnetite and/or haematite are common, in association with pyrite. Hydrothermal alteration commonly comprises quartz-dolomite-chlorite-magnetite (±haematite). Gold is hosted by disseminated and vein-related pyrite. Multi-phase breccias are well developed within the mineralised zone, with early silicified cataclastic phases overprinted by late, carbonate- iron-oxide- rich, hydrothermal breccias which display a subvertical control. All breccias frequently host disseminated pyrite, and are often associated with bonanza gold grades, particularly where magnetite or haematite is prevalent. In the sedimentary lithologies, albite alteration is intense and pervasive, with pyrite-magnetite (± gold) hosted in veinlets in brittle fracture zones.

At Heinä Central, the multiple sulphide zones identified (25 to >50% pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite + pyrite) are hosted by cataclastic quartz-dolomite breccia within a sedimentary sequence that includes interbedded siltstone and carbonaceous shale. This sequence is intruded by mafic dykes, and intermediate intrusives are also present. Brecciation is associated with a broad, complex, folded structural zone that is related to decoupling along lithological contacts and localised folding.

About the Rupert Lapland Project

The Rupert Lapland Project is located in the epicentre of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, Northern Finland, where the company has made six new discoveries including the high quality Ikkari Project with an inferred mineral resource estimate of 49Mt at 2.5 g/t gold for 3.95 million ounces1. The Rupert Lapland Project also holds the permitted Pahtavaara mine and mill (on active care & maintenance) within a regional land package of some 735km2. The Company acquired the project for USD2.5m in 2016 and is undertaking exploration both at the existing mine and across the region to demonstrate the potential for significant economic mineralisation. The Ikkari deposit and five other discoveries are located in a structural corridor that lies between the Kittilä Group allochthon to the north and the younger Kumpu Group basin to the south. The mineralised area is dominated by large E-W to ENE trending faults which have controlled broad to isoclinal folding within the sediment-dominated (Savukoski Group) rock package. A complex network of cross cutting structures has focused multi-stage fluid flow, with gold mineralisation associated with massive to fine-grained disseminated sulphides and concentrated at favourable structural intersections.

1 National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) for Ikkari of 49 million tonnes (“Mt”) at 2.5 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”), for 3.95 million ounces (“oz”) in total (see the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report: Ikkari Project, Finland” with an effective date of September 13, 2021 prepared by Brian Wolfe, Principal Consultant, International Resource Solutions Pty Ltd., an independent qualified person under NI 43-101: the “Ikkari Technical Report”).

The MRE has been estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) “Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines”. It was calculated using the multiple indicator kriging method (MIK) and is classified as an inferred mineral resource as defined by the CIM. Numbers are affected by rounding. The MRE was reported using cut-offs of 0.6g/t Au for mineralisation potentially mineable by open pit methods and 1.2g/t Au for that portion that is potentially extractable by underground methods. The cut-offs were based on a gold price of US$1430/oz Au, with a 92% overall recovery and costs derived from benchmarks and first principles (see: the Ikkari Technical Report). Mineral Resources do not include Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted to Mineral Reserves.
