Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2024) - Renegade Gold Inc. (TSXV: RAGE) (OTCQX: TGLDF) (FSE: 070) ("Renegade" or the "Company") is pleased to report initial results from the second phase of drilling at its advanced Newman Todd Deposit (Table 1). Drilling to date has successfully increased mineralization at depth by an additional 500 m, confirming the deposit extends down from surface to just over 800 m. Of particular importance, the results have also increased the overall width of the structure by up to 100 m near surface and confirmed new high-grade corridors within the hanging wall of the Newman Todd Structure.
Highlights
- Width of Newman Todd mineralization increased by up to 100 m near surface. Holes NT-24-017 and NT-24-018 specifically targeted an underexplored area in the footwall of the Newman Todd. The strong mineralization intersected by both holes from the east side of the Newman Todd Structure confirms a significant increase in the near-surface mineralization.
- Hole NT-23-017 intersected 9.2 g/t Au over 2.7 m, 4.5 g/t Au over 2.5 m and 2.4 g/t Au over 18.0 m. These results add approximately 75 m width to the Newman Todd Structure in the shadow of previous drilling (Figures 1 and 2).
- Hole NT-23-018 intersected 9.8 g/t Au over 1.5 m and 2.8 g/t Au over 8.5 m, including 8.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 3.4 g/t Au over 4.4 m (Figures 1 and 3). These results add approximately 100 m width to the Newman Todd Structure below previous drilling.
- Results confirm significant down dip potential of the Newman Todd Structure. Hole NT-23-016 intersected 4.9 g/t Au over 2.5 m at approximately 650 m below surface. Previous drilling was limited to a single hole at 835 m depth (Figures 1 and 2).
- Hole NT-24-016 encountered strong mineralization in the 400 m gap between historical drilling and hole NT-129, further increasing continuity of the current geological model.
- Through ongoing analysis of the 2024 results, Renegade has identified significant geological parallels to other gold zones within the regional deformation fold corridor, which includes West Red Lake Gold's Rowan Deposit and Mount Jamie Zone. These insights will guide ongoing exploration at the Newman Todd Deposit and other prospective areas.
Nav Dhaliwal, President and CEO for Renegade, commented, "Renegade Gold's 2024 drilling at the high-grade Newman Todd deposit has been a huge success and it speaks to the quality of our technical team, as well as the incredible potential of the project. In just one program, we have extended mineralization by an additional 500 m in depth and 100 m in width and have identified a number of new mineralized areas. The rapid growth we're seeing at Newman Todd suggests we've only just begun to unlock the value of this project, and the team is now hard at work planning our next steps."

About Newman Todd
The 100% owned Newman Todd deposit is located approximately 26 km west of Evolution's mining operations, just 1 km south of West Red Lake's Mount Jamie advanced deposit. The Newman Todd Zone (NTZ) is the dominant host for gold mineralization on the property and is interpreted to span across the property boundary, over 2 km. The NTZ structure varies in width from 60 to 160 m and is open to depth throughout and is host to multiple styles of mineralization, including multiple breccia vein systems and late high-grade quartz veining, often associated with visible gold.
Recent drilling has given strong confidence that the Newman Todd structure and associated HG gold structures continue beyond a depth of 700 m, beyond double of the previous drill horizon. Increased intercepts of gold mineralization in the HW of the NTZ support that gold mineralization is more widespread than historically thought.
QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled at a secure core processing facility in Red Lake, Ontario. Core samples from the drill program are cut in half using a diamond cutting saw with half sent for assay at SGS Laboratories Ltd. in Red Lake, Ontario. The other half is secured and retained at a secure storage facility. All samples are analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning greater than 10.0 g/t gold are analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. In addition to SGS internal QAQC procedures, certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Renegades quality control/quality assurance program. Results are monitored regularly for contamination and accuracy.
