Rackla Metals awaiting final Grad drill, trench assay results, Northwest Territories
Rackla Metals Inc. [TSXV: RAK] recently released assay results from the first three drill holes of its 2025 campaign at the BiTe showing on the Grad property, Northwest Territories. The analytical results from a further seven holes are pending. The company has been informed by the laboratory that the remaining results should be ready the week of November 17.
Unfortunately, the lab has been inundated with drill core samples this year and the return on analyses has been much slower than in the past. The final results will have taken a full 10 weeks from the time the core was dropped off at the laboratory in Whitehorse.
The target at Grad is a large, altered, and intensely veined intrusive that measures approximately 2 km in diameter and forms the core of a very steep mountain. The drill program was the maiden drill program on the property. The pending results are from seven holes which represent 3,518 metres of the 10-hole, 4,489-metre drill program.
The company is also awaiting results from a trenching program at a new discovery located 1.5 km south of the BiTe discovery zone and hosted in the hornfelsed sediments on the margin of a previously unmapped Cretaceous intrusion. The intrusion has been named the Manta intrusion and the showing is the Manta showing. In 2025, the company conducted prospecting and talus-fine sampling around the intrusion. The talus-fine sampling returned gold values up to 0.56 parts per million with associated bismuth, tellurium and arsenic. Rock grab sample results from the western margin of the intrusion returned a number of samples greater than one ounce of gold per ton (31.1 g/t). The company followed up in this area with trenching late in the season and these results are pending.
The company has $10 million in the bank and is well positioned to capitalize on the 2025 discoveries made in this portion of western Northwest Territories.
Rackla is working in consultation with the Sahtu Dene and Metis Communities, and remains committed to maintaining the respectful, collaborative relationships the company has built with the Sahtu.
Rackla Metals is targeting reduced intrusion-related gold systems (RIRGS) mineralization on the southeastern part of the Tombstone gold belt in eastern Yukon and western Northwest Territories.
