Three further grab samples from the Norwalk Adit entrance returned 110 ppb to up to 200 ppb Au.
Seven grab samples were taken from the Gananoque Adit entrance and returned 20 ppb and up to 1.45 g/Mt Au.
Five grab samples were taken from an historic trench on the south west corner of the Norwalk Property and all were gold-bearing and returned assays from 10 ppb up to 120 ppb Au.
Gold mineralization at Norwalk is hosted by altered diorite, gossan and quartz. Gold-bearing composite sample 42815 demonstrates that gold mineralization may occur over significant widths.
Rock samples were submitted to Swastika Laboratories Ltd. for Gold fire assay. Swastika Laboratories Ltd. is accredited by Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (CALA) and meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for Gold by Fire Assay.
Paul Antoniazzi, President of RT Minerals Corp., states, "The Company is very encouraged with the widespread grade gold assays obtained from the recent limited surface sampling program. In my experience, it is significant to have so many gold bearing samples from initial sampling of several different areas of the ~1,000 acre property. Geophysical targets associated with this mineralization will be prioritized and drilled immediately."
The Company is currently completing a 31 kilometre surface geophysical surveys covering parts of the Norwalk gold property. Upon completion of magnetic and IP (induced polarization) surveys, a drill program will be initiated to test targets. The drill program is expected to commence in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Details of the drill program will be announced when drill mobilization occurs.
