VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- – Koryx Copper Inc. ("Koryx" or "the Company") (TSX-V: KRY) announces the first assay results from its 2023/2024 drilling program at its Haib Copper project in southern Namibia. The Company's latest four drill holes continue to confirm that the deposit can deliver high grades over substantial widths within the known historical resource.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華，2024年1月24日（環球新聞專線）——Koryx銅業公司（“Koryx” 或 “公司”）（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：KRY）公佈了其位於納米比亞南部的Haib銅業項目2023/2024年鑽探計劃的首次化驗結果。該公司最近的四個鑽孔繼續證實，該礦牀可以在已知的歷史資源範圍內在相當寬的寬度上提供高品位。
Pierre Léveillé, President & CEO of Deep-South stated that: "We are extremely enthusiastic about the recent results from our drill program. These assay results continue to demonstrate that the Haib Copper Deposit has been seriously underestimated the average grade of the deposit by previous operators. Previous work estimated an average of 0.31% Cu, while recent work drilling has shown grades between 0.40% Cu Eq to 2.37% Cu Eq on extensions up to 200 meters.
Deep-South總裁兼首席執行官皮埃爾·勒維勒表示： “我們對鑽探計劃的最新結果非常熱情。這些化驗結果繼續表明，以前的運營商嚴重低估了Haib銅礦牀的平均品位。先前的工作估計平均銅含量爲0.31％，而最近的鑽探工作顯示，延伸至200米的銅當量在0.40％至2.37％銅當量之間。
Mr. Léveillé continues "Our drilling results are a game changer and will strongly add value to the overall copper deposit and to our shareholders."
勒維耶先生繼續說 “我們的鑽探結果改變了遊戲規則，將極大地增加整個銅礦牀和股東的價值。”
The 4 holes for which assay results are reported here cover some 874.13 metres with 1 hole (HM12) drilled in the Pit 3 area and the remainder in the Pit 1 area. All holes were positioned to better delineate the previously identified higher grade portions of the Haib Copper Project and to test the extension of grade between these targets. Assay results of significant intersections are tabulated below:
此處報告的化驗結果的4個洞覆蓋了約874.13米，其中在3號礦區鑽了1個洞（HM12），其餘的則在1號礦坑區域。所有鑽孔的位置都是爲了更好地描繪Haib銅業項目先前確定的更高等級部分，並測試這些目標之間品位的延伸。重要交叉點的化驗結果如下表所示：

- Width refers to intersection width; true widths have not been determined.
- CuEq (copper equivalent) has been used to express the combined value of copper and molybdenum and is provided for illustrative purposes only. No allowances have been made of recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. Calculations use metal prices of US$3.00/lb copper, US$10/lb molybdenum using the formula: CuEq% = Cu% + (Mo% [$10/$3])
- This CuEq grade was previously reported as 2.57. The corrected CuEq grade is 2.37.
- 寬度是指交叉寬度；實際寬度尚未確定。
- CueQ（銅當量）用於表示銅和鉬的組合值，僅供說明之用。對於最終開採可能發生的恢復損失，沒有留出任何餘地。使用每磅銅3.00美元、鉬10美元/磅的金屬價格進行計算，公式爲：Cueq% = Cu% +（Mo% [10美元/3美元]）
- 此前報告的CueQ成績爲2.57。修正後的 CueQ 分數爲 2.37。
Note: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability as may be obtained once a pre-feasibility or feasibility studies have been completed and all modifying factors have been taken into account. The estimates do not account fully for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These estimates contain inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically in terms of grade continuity between drillholes to have the economic considerations applied to them to be categorized as mineral reserves.
注意：礦產資源不是礦產儲量，也沒有表現出經濟可行性，一旦完成了預可行性研究或可行性研究，並考慮了所有修改因素，就可以獲得這種可行性。這些估計沒有充分考慮到可開採性、選擇性、採礦損失和稀釋。這些估計值包含推斷出的礦產資源，就鑽孔之間的品位連續性而言，這些礦產資源在地質學上被認爲過於投機，無法將其歸類爲礦產儲量。

圖 1：Planview 顯示了此處報告的鑽孔位置。
HM12 was drilled northwards in Pit 3 to better delineate the southern limit of the high-grade mineralisation identified here by reducing the drillhole spacing.
HM15 was positioned in Pit 1 and drilled at a shallow angle (-45°) towards the southwest. The purpose of this hole was to test the downdip extension of the shallow high grade Cu mineralization identified by the close spaced historical drilling to the southwest and above the adit. Due to the drill pad collapsing, the hole was abandoned at 36m.
HM15R is the redrill of HM15 positioned 9m further south.
HM23 was drilled towards the northwest in Pit 1. Its primary purpose was to close the intersection spacing and to understand spatial changes from the shallow high-grade mineralization in HB006 to the north (~20m deep) and the deeper intersections in HM22 to the south (96m).
在 3 號礦坑向北鑽探了 HM12，目的是通過縮小鑽孔間距，更好地劃定這裏確定的高品位礦化的南限。
HM15 位於 1 號礦坑，並以淺角（-45°）向西南鑽探。該鑽孔的目的是測試淺層高品位銅礦化的向下延伸，該礦化層是通過向西南和海峽上方的近距離歷史鑽探確定的。由於鑽臺倒塌，該洞在 36 米處被遺棄。
HM15R 是位於向南 9 米處的 HM15 的重鑽。
HM23是在一號礦坑向西北鑽探的。其主要目的是縮小交叉點間距，了解從 HB006 向北（約 20 米深）的淺層高品位礦化以及向南 HM22 的深交叉點（96m）的空間變化。
Discussion of Pertinent Results
討論相關結果
HM12
Assay results for the first 96m of this hole had been received in 2021. With the resumption of activities in October 2023, the remaining samples were submitted to the laboratory. The full results show that the high-grade interval (>0.74% Cu) from 76m to 96m that was reported previously is spatially separated from the main Pit3 high grade mineralization which was intersected from 130m to 332m. The relationship between the two is not clear but the first intersection could be a bulge-like extension of the main mineralization or a cross cutting structural feature.
HM15 and HM15R
Drilled in the dry river bed, the original hole was abandoned at 36m due to the drilling pad collapsing. The redrill was positioned some 9m south. In both holes, high grade (>0.8% Cu) mineralization was intersected from surface for about 12m with a peak grade over 2m of 1.35% Cu. This correlates spatially with the shallow dipping high-grade zone intersected by the close-spaced historical drilling some 240m to the southeast. Two other narrower zones were intersected with the most significant ~100m below topography exhibiting and average Cu grade of 0.34% over 22m. This intersection also correlates spatially with the close spaced historical drilling above the adit. Mo grades in all instances are very low which is fairly typical of this area.
HM23
High grade mineralization was first intersected some 85m below topography for 44m at 0.6% Cu and including 12m over 1% Cu (peak grade of 1.44% Cu). This confirms the downward displacement of the shallow high-grade zone south of the line of close spaced holes. Two other high-grade zones with Cu grades just under 0.5% were intersected over 28m and 22m respectively. A third zone of 6m at 0.52% Cu was intersected deeper. These lower zones correlate spatially well with HM22 and HB006. Mo is well developed for portions of the hole with one intersection averaging 0.013% Mo over 60m from 120m below topography.
HM12
該洞前96米的化驗結果已於2021年收到。隨着2023年10月恢復活動，剩餘的樣本已提交給實驗室。完整結果表明，先前報告的76米至96米的高品位間隔（銅含量大於0.74％）與從130米到332米的Pit3主要高品位礦化區在空間上是分開的。兩者之間的關係尚不清楚，但第一個交叉點可能是主要礦化的凸起狀延伸部分或橫向結構特徵。
HM15 和 HM15R
原來的鑽孔是在乾燥的河牀上鑽的，由於鑽臺倒塌，原來的鑽孔在36米處被廢棄了。重鑽位於向南約9米處。在這兩個孔中，高品位（> 0.8% 銅）的礦化層與地表相交了大約 12 米，峯值品位超過 2 米，銅含量爲 1.35%。這在空間上與向東南約240米處的近距離歷史鑽探相交的淺層傾斜高品位區相關。另外兩個較窄的區域相交，地形下方約100米處最顯著，22m以上的平均銅品位爲0.34％。該交叉點在空間上還與阿迪特上方的近距離歷史鑽探相關。在所有情況下，鉬的等級都非常低，這在該領域相當常見。
HM23
高品位礦化首先在地形下方約85米處相交，長度爲44米，銅含量爲0.6％，其中包括超過1％的銅的1200米（銅的峯值品位爲1.44％）。這證實了淺層高等級區域向下移動，位於緊密間距的孔洞線以南。另外兩個銅品位略低於 0.5% 的高品位區域的交叉距離分別超過28m和22m。銅含量爲 0.52% 的 6m 的第三個區域相交得更深。這些下部區域在空間上與 HM22 和 HB006 的相關性良好。鉬在孔洞的某些部分發育良好，在地形以下 120 米處，一個交叉點在 60 米處平均鉬含量爲 0.013%。
Drilling Program Update
鑽探計劃更新
At the cessation of activities in 2021, twenty-two boreholes had been completed totaling 4,610.81m of the planned 10,000m.
在2021年停止活動時，已經完成了22個鑽孔，總計4,610.81萬米，而計劃中的10,000米鑽孔已經完成。
Nineteen of these holes had been completely assayed, and one only partially assayed. The drilling of HM23 was only partially done. All available results were disclosed in July and August 2023.
其中十九個洞已經完成了檢測，其中一個只進行了部分檢測。HM23的鑽探僅部分完成。所有可用結果均在 2023 年 7 月和 8 月披露。
Activities resumed in October 2023 with a planned drilling programme of 4,000m focused on the Pit1 area. The outstanding samples from the 2021 programme were immediately submitted to the laboratory. Since the start of the programme, 7 boreholes (1,320m) have been completed. Five have been fully sampled and submitted to the laboratory. Assay results for 3 along with the HM12 results (sampled in 2021) were received in January 2024. Currently, samples for 2 boreholes are at the laboratory while a further 2 await dispatch.
活動於 2023 年 10 月恢復，計劃的 4,000 米鑽探計劃集中在 Pit1 區域。2021年計劃的出色樣本立即提交給實驗室。自該計劃啓動以來，已經完成了7個鑽孔（1,320米）。已對五份進行了全面採樣並提交給實驗室。3 的化驗結果以及 HM12 結果（2021 年抽樣）已於 2024 年 1 月收到。目前，2個鑽孔的樣本在實驗室，另有2個正在等待發貨。
At 1.8 billion years (Archean), the Haib Copper Deposit is one of the oldest deposits in the world. Over time, it has seen several transformations including shearing and faulting events that appear to have further concentrated Cu and Mo. A number of these mineralized structures have been identified in the Pit1. The revised drilling programme looks to close the sample spacing in the Pit1 area and better delineate the extent and grades of these.
海布銅礦牀擁有18億年的歷史（太古代），是世界上最古老的礦牀之一。隨着時間的推移，它經歷了幾次變化，包括剪切和斷層事件，這些變化似乎進一步濃縮了銅和鉬的濃度。在 Pit1 中已經發現了許多這樣的礦化結構。修訂後的鑽探計劃旨在縮小Pit1區域的樣本間距，並更好地描繪這些區域的範圍和等級。
Quality Control
All drill cores were logged, photographed, and cut in half with a diamond saw. Half of the cores were bagged and sent to ALS Laboratories Ltd. in Johannesburg, South Africa for analysis (SANAS Accredited Testing Laboratory, No. T0387), while the other half was quartered with one quarter archived and stored on site for verification and reference purposes while the other quarter will be used for metallurgical test work. 33 elements are analyzed by Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP) utilizing a 4-acid digestion and gold is assayed using a 30g fire assay method. Duplicate samples, blanks, and certified standards are included with every batch and are actively used to ensure proper quality assurance and quality control.
質量控制
所有鑽芯都經過記錄、拍照，並用金剛石鋸切成兩半。一半的岩心被裝袋並送往南非約翰內斯堡的ALS實驗室有限公司進行分析（SANAS認可的測試實驗室，No.T0387），而另一半則分爲四分之一，其中四分之一存檔並存儲在現場以供驗證和參考，而另一季度將用於冶金測試工作。感應耦合等離子體（ICP）使用四酸消化法分析了33種元素，並使用30g的火法對黃金進行了分析。每批都包含重複的樣品、空白和認證標準，並積極用於確保適當的質量保證和質量控制。
