Rio Grande Resources Expands Winston Project with New Mining Claims

Rio Grande Resources Ltd. has expanded its holdings by acquiring 26 additional lode mining claims, encompassing around 537 acres at its 100%-owned Winston Gold-Silver Project in New Mexico. This expansion integrates the historic North Star and Little Wonder mine areas. The move follows Rio Grande's Phase Two Exploration Program, which offered valuable geological insights and identified new mineralized trends.

Recent samples from the North Star-Little Wonder region revealed notable mineralization, including results of up to 35.9 g/t gold and 248 g/t silver. Jason Barnard, CEO, emphasized the importance of this expansion in assessing the broader mineralization network potentially extending from Poverty Creek.

The company is preparing for its inaugural drill program, aiming to explore the extent and continuity of the mineralized system. The new claims provide a platform for systematic exploration and testing, supporting Rio Grande's objective of unlocking the Winston project's potential.
