    ORC compliant Underground MRE increases by 24% at Mina
    Carmen, Santa Comba and substantial Exploration Target
    determined.
    Rafaella Resources Limited
    (ASX:RFR) (‘Rafaella’ or the ‘Company’ is
    pleased to announce
    the results of the recently completed underground mineral
    resource estimation as carried out by Rafaella’s Geology and Mineral Resources
    Department, for the Santa Comba tungsten and tin project
    (‘Santa Comba’ or the
    ‘Project’
    held by Rafaella’s wholly owned Spanish subsidiary, Galicia Tin and
    Tungsten SL (‘GTT’.
    Investment Highlights
    Total JORC compliant underground (UG) MRE at Mina Carmen of 291kt @ 0.95%
    WO3
    and 0.23% Sn (0.53% WO3 cut-off), an increase of 24%,
    o Mina Carmen North (Quarry area) of 57kt @ 0.94% WO3 and 0.01% Sn
    (0.53% WO3
    cut-off) based on GTT’s drilling campaigns.
    o Mina Carmen South remains unchanged from 2016 with 234kt @ 0.95%
    WO3
    and 0.28% Sn (0.53% WO3 cut-off), based on historical data.
    Deeper drill intersections of the main vein “Restrevas North” demonstrate that
    WO3
    grade increases at depth, thus providing an exciting Exploration Target.
    The MRE shows strong increase of Sn (cassiterite) within the vein system
    towards Mina Carmen South, up to average grade of 0.42% Sn for Vein F5 in
    Mina Carmen South.
    Substantial Exploration Targets calculated for both Mina Carmen North and
    Mina Carmen South
    demonstrating further upside for underground operations.
    Managing Director
    Steven Turner said: “The geology team at Santa Comba has spent
    considerable time reviewing and updating the underground data, correlating historical
    records, measuring the accessible underground veins and studying the results from
    recent
    drill campaigns to greatly enhance the Company’s knowledge of the
    underground resource.
    Santa Comba was a historical operation until 1985 producing
    clean concentrate from high-grade veins. Work to reopen the permitted underground
    operations continues in parallel to the open
    pit study work. This mineral resource
    upgrade
    and importantly the exploration target is highly encouraging, as it
    demonstrates
    substantial upside for the underground operation.”
