Abstract
A 4.9 Mkm
2 region of the southwest Pacific Ocean is made up of continental crust. The region has elevated bathymetry relative to surrounding oceanic crust, diverse and silica-rich rocks, and relatively thick and low-velocity crustal structure. Its isolation from Australia and large area support its definition as a continent Zealandia. Zealandia was formerly part of Gondwana. Today it is 94% submerged, mainly as a result of widespread Late Cretaceous crustal thinning preceding supercontinent breakup and consequent isostatic balance. The identification of Zealandia as a geological continent, rather than a collectio
Royal Road Minerals Limited: Royal Road Minerals Reports Further Positive Follow-up Drilling Results from Its Caribe Gold Discovery; Nicaragua

(not true width and the company does not have sufficient information to make a determination of the true widths of the drill hole intersections)
In the majority of cases, individual drill holes at Caribe have been unable to reach their planned objective due primarily to the effect of highly absorbent clays (formed within the host rock as part of the gold mineralizing process) swelling and arresting the drill rods. The Company has now completed a total of 20 drill holes and has briefly suspended the program in order to exchange the current drilling rig for a more powerful machine with the capacity to drill through the problematic clay and test the continuity of gold mineralization at depth.

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, Jan. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTC: RMRDF): (“Radisson” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce significant high-grade gold intercepts from the ongoing exploration drill program at its 100% owned O’Brien gold project located along the Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break (see location map 1 and location map 2), halfway between Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d’Or in Quebec, Canada.
Drilling has continued to validate the 2019 litho-structural model (
announced in February 2019) while demonstrating the potential for resource growth at depth and along strike. Drilling so far has been focused on an approximately 1 km strike length to the east of the old O’Brien Mine, historically considered the highest-grade gold mine in Quebec (production of 587,121 oz Au grading 15.25 g/t from 1926 – 1957).
