(the "Company") (CSE: RSG) is pleased to announce that a fully permitted summer exploration program has begun at its 100% owned Gold Anchor Project in central Newfoundland, Canada. The program will focus on its recently discovered 6,000-metre-long Lane Pond Gold Target, which is strategically located along the prolific, gold-bearing Appleton Fault. The Appleton Fault is a major gold-bearing fault zone trending for greater than 150 kilometres in central Newfoundland and hosts significant untested gold targets, diamond drill discoveries and a gold resource on the adjoining property located northeast of Gold Anchor (see Map 1 below).

Ken Lapierre, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are delighted to kick-start the summer field season at Gold Anchor. The program will include detailed till sampling, prospecting, geological and geophysical work at its Lane Pond Gold Target and other high-priority gold targets in the vicinity. At Lane Pond, significant gold values have been found in recent and historical sampling in an area 6,000 metres long and located proximal to the Appleton Fault. The Appleton Fault is the most prolific gold-bearing fault in the emerging Central Gold District and trends for a minimum of 20 kilometres at Gold Anchor. The fault hosts gold resources and high-grade drill intersections on trend to the northeast of our property. Our plan is to be drill-ready this fall to test the Lane Pond Gold Target with an inaugural drill program."
