Rackla Metals reports drilling has commenced at BiTe and provides initial core observations

Core Insights - Rackla Metals Inc. has commenced drilling at the BiTe zone on the Grad property in Northwest Territories, Canada, indicating a significant step in their exploration efforts [1][10]. Exploration Details - The Grad property was staked in July 2024, revealing strong gold mineralization and significant sheeted veining, which suggests the presence of a Reduced Intrusion-related Gold Systems (RIRGS) occurrence [2]. - A 4,000m diamond drill program has been initiated to test the gold system, with three drill pads prepared to test 300m of the zone [2][3]. - The first drill hole (G25-001) has reached a depth of 208m, while the second hole (G25-002) is currently being drilled at 48m, showing consistent sheeted veining with an average density of 5 to 10 veins per meter [5]. Geological Findings - The core samples from the drilling show bismuth sulphides, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite, with sections of strongly sericitized quartz diorite containing 5% disseminated bismuth sulphides [5][6]. - A team of mountaineering geologists is conducting high-angle sampling to confirm the vertical continuity of the gold-bearing system up to 350m above the drill site [9]. Permits and Support - The Grad Project is fully permitted for the 2025 exploration season, having obtained a five-year Type A Land Use Permit from the Sahtu Land and Water Board [10]. - All necessary contracts are in place to support the exploration program, with various service providers engaged to assist [12]. Company Overview - Rackla Metals Inc. is a junior gold exploration company based in Vancouver, Canada, targeting RIRGS mineralization in the underexplored southeastern part of the Tombstone Gold Belt [14].
