• Radisson Mining is a Quebec-based
exploration company, with offices in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec
and Toronto, Ontario, specializing in the discovery of
gold, molybdenum and base metal deposits. The Company has an interest in
thirteen properties in northwestern Quebec
and two properties in northwestern Ontario. The main asset of Radisson, the
O'Brien / Kewagama property, contains the former
O'Brien Mine, the highest grade and the most important gold producer in the
Cadillac Mining Camp when it was producing from the early 1930s to the mid
1950s. Radisson now has established a new zone, the 36 East
Zone, 2,500 ft.
east of the old producing zone of the O'Brien Mine, with comparable high grades
of gold. The Company is carrying on an advanced exploration program on this
property. In its 43-101 report, available on our website, Scott Wilson RPA
opined, "there is excellent potential to increase the Zone 36 East
resources above the 2,000 Level and to discover new resources further at depth
and along strike further to the east". Also in northwestern
Quebec, Radisson is embarked on an encouraging exploration program at its La Reine molybdenum/gold property and has entered into a JV on
its highly prospective Massicotte gold project in the
prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt immediately east of one of Canada's largest
undeveloped gold resource projects, the Detour Lake Project of Detour Gold
Corporation.
We should be pleased to answer any questions
you may have with regard to our exploration and development plans.
Sincerely,
Ken Murton
President/CEO
