Red Metal Resources Announces Update on Drilling
THUNDER BAY, ON, February 14, 2022 – Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Red Metal”) (CSE:RMES, OTCPINK:RMESF) is pleased to announce a successful start to the 2,000 metre drill program announced on January 12th, and provide an update on the exploration plans at the Carrizal Property, III Region, Chile.
Highlights
- Drilling started ahead of schedule on January 24th and to date, 5 holes totalling approximately 1,000 metres have been completed
- All holes have intercepted visible copper sulphide mineralization and alteration associated with IOCG deposits
- Deepest intercept at 200 m vertical depth, 100 m below historic artisanal mine workings
- Diamond drill core has given valuable alteration and structural information not seen in previous RC drilling
Diamond Drilling
All five drillholes to date have been focused at the northern end of the previously drilled Farellon project close to the artisanal mine workings. All five drill holes have intercepted zones of sulphide mineralization including chalcopyrite and chalcocite, zones of strong alteration associated with iron oxide copper gold (“IOCG”) deposits and breccia zones up to 20 metres in width. Significant elements noted in initial observations include widespread potassic and argillic alteration and significant amounts of iron oxides transitioning from hematite into magnetite at depth.
Drill intercepts have extended the continuity of the Farellon vein by approximately 100 metres along strike to the north and down to a vertical depth of approximately 200 metres, approximately 75 metres deeper than previous intercepts.

Caitlin Jeffs, President, CEO, stated:Sampling is ongoing for drillholes FAR-22-012 to FAR-22-16 and no visual estimates of grade have been made. Assay lab expected turn-around times are estimated to be four to six weeks from receipt of samples.
“We are very pleased with the progress of the drill program thus far. The intensity of the alteration, the presence of significant brecciation along with the quantities of copper sulphides we are seeing have confirmed our belief that the Carrizal Property has the potential to host a significant IOCG mineralizing system.”
