RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 25, 2015 / Renaissance Gold Inc. (TSX: REN) ("RenGold") has an earn in agreement with Walmer Capital Corp. (TSX.V:WAL.H) ("Walmer"), a capital pool company, whereby Walmer will acquire a right to earn a direct 70% interest in the 109-claim Golden Shears property in Southern Nevada (the "Property") by providing a feasibility study. Walmer has received notice from RenEx regarding being in default of covenants in the earn-in agreement to pay certain expenses relating to land claims and fees. Walmer is working with RenGold to rectify these issues and anticipates being able to remedy this default within the 30-day cure period provided in the earn-in agreement.
In addition, Renaissance is pleased to announce that it will be filing the National Instrument 43-101 report (the "NI 43-101 Report") prepared by Mr. R. A. Lunceford, an independent Qualified Person. In addition to the extensive work carried out by RenGold, Mr. Lunceford collected 8 audit rock samples from targets on the Property. Mr. Lunceford's sample locations, abbreviated descriptions, and analytical result are summarized below.

The 8 samples were collected from areas and exposures Mr. Lunceford, deemed to be important to validate the reported mineralized material as described in the NI 43-101 Report. Mr. Lunceford collected and transported the samples in his sole custody directly to the preparation facility of ALS in Reno, Nevada.
The metallogeny, structural setting and geochemistry of the Property are broadly similar to gold and silver-bearing polymetallic replacement and skarn deposits which are highly productive from Peru to Colorado and are well-known high-value targets. The Property has supported small scale (undocumented) production but the largest and most important targets are covered by shallow alluvium. The surveys and permitting required to advance this program will commence on closing of the first phase of Walmer's previously announced financing.
Exploration work on the Property has advanced to the stage where further evaluation can best be conducted by a staged drill program. The targets of these holes are porphyry - associated skarn, replacement and stockwork mineralized zones supported by a heritage of rock and soil geochemical data and modeling of ground magnetic and gravity data. The Phase I recommended budget includes five RC (Reverse Circulation) drill holes averaging approximately 600 feet in depth as well as a rigorous and comprehensive program of QA/QC sampling to validate drill results.
Richard Bedell, President and CEO of RenGold, comments: "We hope to see these targets tested soon. These occurrences are atypical of the Goodsprings Mining District and we think this signals the potential to find significant mineralization."
