Carolina Rush Intersects 206 m @ 0.66 g/t Au, Extends Tanyard Breccia Zone at Brewer
Rhea-AI Summary
Carolina Rush reports results from the final two holes drilled in the Tanyard Breccia Zone at its Brewer Gold-Copper Project in South Carolina. Key findings include hole B24C-036 intersecting 206.3 meters @ 0.66 g/t Au from 63.2 meters depth, including 21.0 meters @ 1.05 g/t Au and 0.29% Cu, and 45.0 meters @ 1.20 g/t Au.
The drilling program achieved a 75-meter down-dip extension from previous intersections, with the Tanyard Breccia Zone remaining open for expansion. Hole B24C-035 intersected peripheral quartz-pyrophyllite alteration, while hole B24C-036 encountered continuous mineralization starting approximately 50 meters below surface.
Positive
- Significant gold intersection of 206.3m @ 0.66 g/t Au in hole B24C-036
- 75-meter extension of mineralization from previous drill intersections
- Zone remains open for expansion, indicating additional resource potential
- Continuous mineralization starting from shallow depth (50m below surface)
Negative
- None.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 5, 2024) - Carolina Rush Corporation (TSXV: RUSH) (OTCQB: PUCCF) ("Carolina Rush," "Rush" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from the last two holes drilled in the Tanyard Breccia Zone at its Brewer Gold-Copper Project in South Carolina. Analytical results have been received for holes 35 and 36, both targeting the Tanyard Breccia Zone south of the former Brewer mine (see Table 1, Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Highlights:
B24C-036: 206.3 m @ 0.66 g/t Au from 63.2 meters depth (50 meters below surface), which includes:
21.0 m @ 1.05 g/t Au and
0.29% Cu from 97.0 meters depth45.0 m @ 1.20 g/t Au from 221.5 meters depth
75 meter down-dip extension from previous intersections
Tanyard Breccia Zone remains open for expansion
Carolina Rush President and CEO Layton Croft stated: "We continue to report exciting results at the recently discovered Tanyard Breccia Zone. Hole 36 contains an exceptionally thick mineralized intercept starting at 50 meters below surface. The hole then extends the Zone 75 meters down-dip. This is encouraging as it keeps the Tanyard Zone open for further expansion (see Figure 1). The phase four drill program is now complete, with analytical results pending for the last hole of the program (Hole 16x), an extension of Hole 16 that was collared ~350 meters north-northwest of the former Brewer mine (see Figure 2)."

Drill hole B24C-035 was drilled to a depth of 232 meters with an azimuth of 120° and a -65° inclination and undercut drill hole B24C-034 (61.0 m @ 1.7 g/t Au, 0.3 % Cu, see news release dated October 21, 2024). Hole 35 intersected the peripheral quartz-pyrophyllite alteration that typically occurs proximal to the silicified breccia which is the primary host for gold+/-copper mineralization.
Drill hole B24C-036 was drilled to a depth of 310 meters with an azimuth of 300° and a -52° inclination, and was the first hole testing the Tanyard Breccia at this orientation. The hole encountered 206 meters of continuous mineralization starting from 63 meters down hole (approximately 50 meters below surface). Within this broad mineralized zone two discrete zones of pyritic, silicified breccia were encountered and contain higher levels of gold +/- copper (see Table 1). Significantly, hole 36 demonstrates the down-dip continuation of the Tanyard Breccia and extended mineralization 75 meters from previous drill intersections where the zone remains open for expansion (see Figure 1).

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Statement
The Company's 2023-2024 exploration diamond core drilling was HQ and/or NQ size. The core was logged and marked for sampling and assaying by geologists contracted by Rush. Samples, typically 1.5 meters in length, were sawn in half using a diamond core saw and one-half of the core was placed in sample bags and tagged with unique sample numbers, while the remaining half was kept in the core box for storage. Each bagged core sample was shipped to ALS Laboratory in Twin Falls, ID where it was dried, crushed and pulverized to >
