Rock Edge – Acquires Additional Claims After Encouraging Exploration at Pagwachuan North

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 14, 2023 / Rock Edge Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Rock Edge") (CSE:REDG) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired additional land after concluding its 2023 field program on their Pag North property (the "Property") located 30 km southeast of Longlac, Ontario. The Property has been mapped and sampled for its rare-element pegmatite-hosted mineralization and gold potential.

Prospecting has uncovered several pegmatite dykes ranging in size from 0.5 to 15 m or more. Overburden stripping will need to be completed to determine actual widths. The pegmatites are typically white to yellowish in colour. Quartz and plagioclase graphic crystal intergrowth with subordinate muscovite (sometimes abundant), tourmaline, biotite and garnet are recognizable minerals in outcrop with possible beryl and a black mineral possibly identified as tantalite or columbite. These are favourable indicator minerals for possible fractionating rare-element pegmatites from a fertile parental melt. Analytical results will be needed to confirm rare-element levels. Sampling has been completed utilizing a rock saw.

The following salient features gained from the boots-on-the-ground field program underpin the potential of the Property to host rare-element pegmatite-hosted mineralization:

1. A total of 241 waypoints collected, with 54% of those being pegmatites.
2. A total of 144 samples were taken, with 72% of those comprising rock saw channel samples of pegmatites.
3. Of the pegmatite channel samples, 29% ranged between 0.5 to 1.0 m wide.
4. Pegmatite dyke geometry has been documented with widths between 10 cm and 30+ m wide traceable along strike up to 200 m in length.
5. Pegmatites are typically yellowish to white in colour with quartz and white feldspar graphic crystal intergrowth and contain coarse muscovite, tourmaline, biotite, garnet, possible beryl or apatite and a black mineral thought to be tantalite or columbite. These are favourable indicator minerals for possible fractionating rare-element pegmatites from a fertile parental melt (Breaks et al., 2003). Analytical results will be needed to confirm rare-element levels.

Charles Desjardins, CEO of Rock Edge, states, "We are incredibly excited about the Pag North property's immense potential. With these additional claims, Rock Edge looks to expand on Pag North's recently concluded exploration, which uncovered a high percentage of pegmatite samples, and their mineralogical characteristics underscore the untapped opportunities within this area. Pag North could be a game-changer for our Company representing a significant milestone in our quest to secure valuable lithium mineral resources."
