SUBIACO, WESTERN AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2023 / The Boardof RTG Mining Inc. ("RTG", or the "Company") (TSX:RTG)(ASX:RTG) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration activities completed at the Company's 90% owned Chanach Gold & Copper Project (Chanach) in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Recent exploration activities at Chanach have included ground truthing, the collection of 1,154 soil samples concentrating on 6.5km of skarn and new structures identified in the eastern end of the tenement in last year's structural survey, the digging of seven dozer cut trenches across the identified skarn and outcropping quartz and a magnetic survey over the tenement.

Management Commentary:

Commenting on these positive results, RTG's CEO Justine Magee said: "These results continueto build our confidence that Chanach may be a similar opportunity to the Mabilo Projectwith strong potentialto evolve into both a high-grade, largeCopper - Gold Porphyry Skarn system, combinedwith a high-grade epithermal gold system. The results from the magnetic surveys have correlated well with our high grade trench sampling results providing a much stronger understanding of the significant scale and potential of the Chanach Project. The plan is to follow up with a 3DIP survey and a drilling program in the next field season.

Inaddition to the continued excellent results coming from Chanach, the Mabilo Projectin the Philippines continues to progress well with updatedbudgets for the planned DSO start up expected to be finalised shortly. Importantly, early in the new year this will allow the team to quickly focus on updates on finance offers from the various parties who have continued to express a desire to be involved in the financing of the Mabilo Project."

High-Grade Trench Sampling Results:

  • 17m @ 5.13g/tAu and 0.78% Cu from Cut 6
  • 3m @ 2.52g/tAu and 10.48% Cu from Cut 7
  • 1m @2.25% Cu from Cut 7
  • 2m @ 2.45% Cu from Cut 7
  • 2m @ 1.13% Cu from Cut 7
  • 11m @ 1.29g/tAu (including 1m @ 3.13g/tAu and 1.03% Cu) from Cut 8
  • 4m @ 0.8% Cu from Cut 8
  • 3m @ 4.15% Cu from Cut 8
  • 3m @ 0.83g/tAu and 0.88% Cu from Cut 8
  • 1m @ 1.32g/tAu from Cut 8
  • 1m @ 1.13% Cu from Cut 8
  • 1m @ 0.86%Cu from Cut 8
  • 1m @ 0.72%Cu from Cut 8

Grades above 0.7g/tAu and 0.3% Cu have been includedin the High-Grade Sampling Results

Results from dozer cuts and the soil samplinghave been processed at the fully accredited Information Research Centre Laboratory in Kara Balta in the Kyrgyz Republic with some results still pending.

Dozer Cut 6 intercepted broad high-grade mineralisation (quartz, chalcopyrite, pyrite, malachite, azurite, calcite)in a geological structure consisting of fractured sandstonewith limonite along the fractures.

Dozer Cuts 7 and 8 intercepted multiple zones of high-grade mineralisation (malachite, azurite, magnetite, pyrite,chalcopyrite, limonite, hematite, garnets, serpentenite, epidote and quartz) within the skarn zone.

Dozer Cuts 9 to 12 showed lower grades but was impacted by the depth of sedimentary cover sitting on top of the skarn. These anomalies will be tested further in next field season by digging deeper trenches.

Magnetic Survey

The magnetic survey was flown with drones by Geoscan Ltd on 25m line spacing at an altitude of 50m. The data collected is being processed by Southern Geoscience Consultants in Perth, whilst the full interpretation is still being worked on, initial results at the eastern end show the magnetic data has a relatively quiet texture with some distinctive features that clearly show the geometries of folded lithologies and locations of structural features, along which known mineralization is aligned (See Figure 3 below).

The drone magnetic data will be integrated with all other geological datasets to yield precise target locations for further detailed exploration in the next field season.

Geochemistry Survey

Detailed soil sampling on a 50m grid was conducted over 7km of identified structures within the tenement. The results show continuous zones of anomalism for gold and copper (see Figure 2 below) that coincide with key structures identified in the Structural Survey undertaken by O. V. Vaulin in 2022 and further supported by the recentmagnetic survey. The geochemistry also indicated zones not previously identified which will be tested in next year's field season.

Commentary

typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

  • The assumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearly stated.

Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

  • These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
  • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature shouldbe reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known').
  • The 2023 trenchsamples were takenfrom meter length samples taken at right angles across the mapped vein and represent true widths of the mineralisation.

Diagrams

  • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

  • Photos and regional map showing mapping locations and trenches for the 2023program are included in this update.

Balanced Reporting

  • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high gradesand/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
  • Representative reporting is included withinthe body of this report and in previous announcements.

Other substantive exploration data

  • Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
  • Exploration targeting has been enhanced by a structural study completed by Orefind in 2017, a ground magnetics study by Southern Geoscience in 2016 and a geophysical study completed by Baoding Geological Engineering Institute in 2011. The project is a target rich environment with 2019 planned exploration focussing on multiple targets. This has been further enhanced by a structural survey completed by Vaulin in 2022.

Further Work

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.
  • Ongoing reverse circulation and diamond drilling will be used to further define the nature and extent of the geochemical anomalism, and to gain lithological information.
  • Most mineralisation is open bothalong strike and down dip.
  • Further structural mapping, geophysical interpretation, trenching and drilling will be required to develop the resource model following the 2023 sampling regime.
