Given the encouraging nature of the results, the company now plans to commence developing a more extensive field-testi
--->ng program, using mechanized equipment to fully test the size and extent of the deposits. This will require permitting
---> from Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment. It is anticipated that this work program will take place early summe
--->r of 2015.
Rick Patmore, President and CEO of Rainmaker commented, "I am encouraged by the results we have seen so far at Jayjay.
---> Knowing that we have the product we always believed in is exciting for the shareholders of Rainmaker. We are prepari
--->ng a drill testing and resource evaluation program very soon to confirm: the thickness and areal extent, product size
--->distribution and properties at depth - to prepare a resource estimate in accordance with the published requirements of
---> NI 43-101".
Jayjay and Jayjay East Projects:
The two silica sand projects are located in north-central Saskatchewan, approximately 185 km north-east of Prince Albe
--->rt SK, and 150 km west of Flin Flon MB. Access is excellent with an all-season Province Road crossing the centre of t
--->he property. The Jayjay property consists of one Quarry Permit (QPP 153) (3,624 acres/1470 hectares) and the Jayjay E
--->ast three Quarry Permits (QPP 154,155 and 156) (1280 acres/518 hectares), issued by the Government of Saskatchewan.
The sand deposit lies at surface and consists entirely of beach sand from the shores of glacial Lake Agassiz. This la
--->ke covered much of the central Prairies until approximately 10,000 years before present. Wave action on the beaches
--->has resulted in clean, well-rounded sand grains, which may be suitable for hydraulic fracturing. The sand is derived
---> from a marine quartzose sandstone horizon in the Cretaceous Manville formation.
Previous work has confirmed the presence of this potential high quality sand. At that time, the markets were limited,
---> and the selling prices were much lower than today.
About Rainmaker:
Rainmaker Resource Ltd, a well-rounded frac sand company, has acquired frac sand assets in Canada and the United State
--->s: Jayjay Lake and Jayjay East projects in north-central Saskatchewan and The Bray Property in Arkansas. Both projects
---> have excellent access to key infrastructure and are close to existing frac sand producers.
Rainmaker is focused on the development, acquisition, and exploration of Western Canadian proppant projects with the g
--->oal of being amongst the lowest cost producers. Proppant or frac sands are used in unconventional oil and gas producti
--->on from tight shale formations. This special sand is used to provide a pathway for hydrocarbons to flow by propping op
--->en fractures. Wells are being drilled deeper and more hydraulic fractures placed, therefore, the demand for frac sand
--->will continue increasing.
