Rubicon Minerals Corporation provided details on its 2019 Exploration Program at the Phoenix Gold Project(the Project). the Company has prepared its 2019 Exploration Program with the following objectives: Produce a new NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate in the first half of 2019, based on the 20,000 m of oriented diamond drill information from the 2018 Exploration Program; Release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), at a minimum, for the Phoenix Gold Project in mid-to-late 2019, based on the new NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate; and Continue exploration throughout 2019 with up to 20,000 m of oriented diamond drilling, predominantly focused on growing mineral resources and advancing understanding of the high-grade mineralization potential at depth. Rubicon plans to drill up to 20,000 m of step-out drilling from the 244-, 610- and 685-m levels of the Project to potentially upgrade and grow the mineral resources. The Company is targeting areas between the 854 and 1,600 m levels to follow up on historical high-grade intercepts at depth that where too sparsely drilled for mineral resource estimation. The Company plans to deliver a new NI 43-101 Mineral Estimate in the first half of 2019, which will benefit from more than 20,000 m of oriented drilling conducted in 2018. Rubicon plans to deliver a new PEA (at a minimum) for the Project in mid-to-late 2019.
