Company Description
Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (OTCQX: RMRDF) is a gold exploration company focused on advancing its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. For investors researching RMRDF stock or asking what Radisson Mining Resources does, the company’s core activity is the exploration and evaluation of high-grade gold mineralization at O'Brien, located in the Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp along the Larder Lake-Cadillac Break.
Core business and O'Brien Gold Project focus
Radisson describes itself as a gold exploration company centred on the O'Brien Gold Project. According to multiple company news releases, O'Brien is situated in the Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp along the Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break in Abitibi, Québec. The project is 100%-owned by Radisson. The company’s work is directed toward delineating and expanding gold mineral resources at O'Brien through drilling, surface work such as trenching, and technical studies including a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and metallurgical programs.
The O'Brien project has a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) that underpins Radisson’s technical disclosures. The company reports Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources at O'Brien, with the MRE prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and documented in an NI 43-101 technical report titled "O'Brien Gold Project Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, Québec, Canada." Radisson notes that this MRE is based on drilling completed to the end of 2022 and has been re-blocked using an updated cut-off grade to yield more tonnes and ounces at a lower average grade.
High-grade gold system and geological setting
Radisson’s disclosures emphasize that O'Brien hosts a system of quartz-sulphide-gold veins within rocks of the Piché Group in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break. Gold is described as being associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite, shearing, and pervasive biotite alteration, and is developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, in some cases, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.
Company technical commentary explains that individual veins at O'Brien are generally narrow, ranging from centimetre scale up to metre scale in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other and to the Piché lithologies and the Larder Lake-Cadillac Break. These veins exhibit lateral continuity, with near-vertical high-grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Radisson notes that the historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres, and that historic operations were "high-graded," focusing on a main central stope while parallel veins were identified but left undeveloped.
Historic mine and modern exploration trends
Modern exploration by Radisson has focused on delineating well-developed vein mineralization to the east and beneath the historic O'Brien mine, as well as in other areas of the property. The company describes the mineralization pattern as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5") along the property. Drilling has targeted:
- Areas east of the historic O'Brien mine, below existing mineral resources (for example, Trend #2 and Trend #3 step-outs).
- Areas beneath the historic mine workings, including deep drilling from pilot hole OB-24-337 and multiple directional wedges.
- Zones adjacent to and below the historic "O'Brien Mine West" area.
- Shallower zones on "Trend #0," including around the interpreted surface projection of the historic "Jewellery Box" stope.
Radisson reports that step-out drilling has delineated multiple high-grade gold-bearing veins over broad areas beneath the historic mine and below existing mineral resources. For example, the company has disclosed that wedges drilled from deep pilot hole OB-24-337 have intersected multiple high-grade intercepts and delineated up to six gold-bearing veins over an area of approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 500 metres (vertical). These veins are interpreted to correspond to veins mapped at the base of the historic mine, several hundred metres above the new intercepts.
Step-out drilling programs and scale of work
Radisson has described an extensive, ongoing step-out drill program at O'Brien. According to company news releases, since late 2024 it has pursued broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien mine and the existing mineral resources, using pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize efficiency. The program has been expanded to a planned total of 140,000 metres of drilling, employing up to eight drill rigs.
The company reports that this program is designed as "proof-of-concept" drilling to test the extent of the O'Brien mineralizing system to an exploration horizon of up to 2 kilometres depth. Radisson notes that:
- Deep pilot hole OB-24-337, drilled below the historic mine workings, intersected high-grade mineralization at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth.
- Multiple wedges from OB-24-337 and other pilot holes have intersected high-grade mineralization below existing resources and beneath the historic mine.
- Step-out drilling has confirmed mineralization below the base of current mineral resources at Trend #1 and Trend #2, as well as beneath O'Brien Mine West.
Radisson has also reported a high proportion of step-out drill holes intersecting mineralization with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project’s current mineral resources. For example, in one summary of results, the company states that 56 out of 68 step-out drill holes and wedges intersected such mineralization, which it characterizes as an 82% success rate for this style of exploration drilling.
Preliminary Economic Assessment and project concept
Radisson has completed and filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the O'Brien Gold Project, documented in the NI 43-101 technical report "O'Brien Gold Project Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, Québec, Canada." The company describes this PEA as a "snap-shot" study based on the existing MRE, re-blocked with an updated cut-off grade, and notes that it does not incorporate more recent drilling outside the current resource model or below the historic mine workings.
The PEA is described as outlining a project concept that assumes off-site toll milling at an existing regional facility for processing mined material, which Radisson states can reduce capital costs, development risk, and project footprint. The company characterizes the PEA as describing a low-cost, high-value project with an 11-year mine life and the use of existing regional infrastructure for processing and tailings management. Radisson also notes that the PEA contemplates an underground mine design and that Mineral Resources used in the PEA are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Metallurgy, processing and technical studies
Radisson reports that it has conducted a metallurgical study and milling assessment for O'Brien. The company states that this work demonstrated gold recoveries in a range based on flow sheet options compatible with a nearby mill and that the PEA uses a gravity-flotation-regrind-leach flowsheet in its conceptual design. The metallurgical and processing studies were led by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC as part of the PEA work, with other firms contributing to mine design, water management, and environmental and permitting reviews.
In addition, Radisson has described a comprehensive environmental baseline study program for the O'Brien site, covering biophysical attributes such as water, flora, and fauna, and complementing existing baseline data on air quality, vibration, and noise. The company also refers to ongoing engineering studies, mine plan optimization, and design sensitivity analysis, including an assessment of the potential to incorporate existing O'Brien mine infrastructure, such as a 1,000-metre shaft, into future mine development plans.
Surface exploration and discovery potential
Beyond deep drilling, Radisson has reported surface exploration results at O'Brien. In one news release, the company announced the discovery of a significant occurrence of coarse visible gold in a new surface trench located near its O'Brien core shack and office complex. The trench was opened to expose Piché Group rocks in the hanging-wall of the Larder Lake-Cadillac Break and to better understand the morphology and continuity of quartz-sulphide-gold veins. Radisson notes that this trench is close to the interpreted surface projection of the historic "Jewellery Box" zone and that the discovery illustrates the continued discovery potential of the O'Brien area, including near existing infrastructure.
