RNC Minerals to Display Rare Gold Specimens

TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2019 - RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) (RNC) is pleased to announce it will be displaying the recently-discovered "Father's Day Vein" gold specimens, which it believes are among the largest of their kind ever unearthed, at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® (TGMS) from February 14-17, 2019. According to TGMS, this is the largest, oldest and most prestigious gem and mineral show in the world.

In September 2018, the world celebrated the Father's Day Vein discovery by RNC, which has yielded more than 25,000 ounces of gold worth in excess of C$40 million including what we believe are among the largest gold specimens ever unearthed, including King Henry containing 1,402 ounces, Warren containing 893 ounces, and several other spectacular high grade specimens.
