RTG Announces Renewal of Exploration License and New Drilling Campaign at Bunawan Project

Subiaco, Western Australia (FSCwire) - The Board of RTG Mining Inc. (“RTG”, “the Company”) (TSX Code: RTG, ASX

Code: RTG) is pleased to announce that the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (“MGB”) in the Philippines has just renewed the Exploration License (EP-000033-14-XIII) (“EP”) for the Bunawan Project in the Philippines for a further 2 years.

With the renewal of the EP, a 1,500m diamond drilling program is now planned to commence mid-November and will target key areas highlighted in the December 2015 Gradient Array - Induced Polarization (GAIP) and Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) programs.

Inversion results, when integrated with previous drilling, magnetics and geochemistry, show that mineralisation is associated with elevated IP responses.

The program will target 5 areas where the IP response from the GAIP and DDIP programs were very strong (see Figure 1 below) and coincided with the structure from the magnetics and geochemistry.

The results from this phase of drilling are expected to extend the mineralisation, both along strike and down dip from the results of the 2014 reconnaissance drilling phase.

ABOUT BUNAWAN

The Bunawan Property is located in the east of Mindanao Island in Agusan del Sur province, approximately 190 km north-northeast of Davao and adjacent to the Davao – Surigao highway.

The Bunawan Project is centered on a diatreme intrusive complex (Mahunoc diatreme) approximately five km NE of Medusa Mining’s Co-O mine in eastern Mindanao. A number of artisanal mining operations occur within and adjacent to the Mahunoc diatreme and the area is highly prospective for the discovery of economic epithermal Au-Ag mineralisation of intermediate sulphidation / carbonate-base metal type.

Following the granting of the Exploration Permit for Bunawan in August 2014, the Company completed a successful reconnaissance drilling program of nine holes for 3,074 metres with 6 holes demonstrating mineralization, with the results announced previously on 5 February 2015.
