Further to its press release of September 9, 2016, Resource Capital Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RCG) (“RCG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the acquisition of the Tangier and Forest Hill historic gold mines in Nova Scotia.
The Tangier Gold mine is located 30 kms from RCG’s Dufferin Mine. It has mineral resources of 41,700 ounces gold in the indicated category (134,000 tonnes grading 9.67 g/t Au), and 131,500 ounces gold in the inferred category (271,000 tonnes grading 15.09 g/t Au) (Mercator Geological Services, 2004, technical report on mineral resource estimate, Acadian Gold Corporation, Tangier Property, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada, effective date September 29, 2004). The mine sits on a project area of 2,187 hectares in 135 exploration claims.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, information, and belief, there is no new material scientific or technical information that would make the disclosure of the mineral resources above inaccurate or misleading.
The Company considers the mineral resource estimates to be current, and is working on a technical report in form 43-101F1 and a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Forest Hill and Tangier projects. The technical report is expected to be completed during early 2017 and in any case, within 180 days of September 9, 2016.
The Forest Hill and Tangier mines are held through Maritime Gold Corp.
