VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2024 / Torq Resources Inc. (TSX-V:TORQ)(OTCQX:TRBMF) ("Torq" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the first set of results from the recently completed phase II drill program at its Santa Cecilia project, located in the prolific Maricunga belt, in the Atacama region of Chile. The program consisted of approximately 1,500 metres (m) over three diamond drill holes; two located at the Pircas Norte target and one at the Gemelos Norte target. Drill hole 24SC-DDH-003 intercepted 0.36 g/t gold (Au) and 0.078% copper (Cu) over 502 m from 98 m down hole, including a higher-grade interval of 0.69 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu over 20 m from 354 m down hole at Pircas Norte (Table 1). The drill hole ended in mineralized intrusive diorite breccia due to logistical limitations and the reported intercept remains open. These results represent a new discovery of significant gold-copper porphyry mineralization and confirm the Company's exploration thesis for the broader Santa Cecilia project. Results from drill holes 24SC-DDH004 and 24SC-DDH005 are expected in the coming weeks.

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華/ACCESSWIRE/2024年4月18日/Torq Resources Inc.(TSX-V: TORQ)(OTCQX: TRBMF)(“Torq” 或 “公司”)很高興地宣佈其位於智利阿塔卡馬地區多產的馬裏昆加帶的聖塞西莉亞項目最近完成的第二階段鑽探計劃的第一批結果。該計劃包括在三個金剛石鑽孔上鑽約1,500米(m),其中兩個位於北皮爾卡斯目標,一個位於北部Gemelos Norte目標。24SC-DDH-003 鑽孔從 98 米的井下 502 米處截獲了 0.36 g/t 的金(Au)和 0.078% 的銅(Cu),包括從 Pircas Norte 的 354 米深的井下 0.69 g/t Au 和 0.10% 的 20 米處截獲了 0.10% 的銅(表 1)。由於物流限制,鑽孔以礦化侵入性閃長巖角礫岩結束,報告的截距仍然開放。這些結果代表了對重要金銅斑岩礦化的新發現,並證實了該公司對更廣泛的Santa Cecilia項目的勘探論點。24SC-DDH004 和 24SC-DDH005 鑽孔的結果預計將在未來幾周內公佈。

A Message from Shawn Wallace, CEO and Chair:

首席執行官兼董事長肖恩·華萊士致辭:

"We are thrilled to announce a significant gold and copper discovery at the Pircas Norte target at our flagship Santa Cecilia project located in Chile's storied Maricunga belt. This discovery, made in our first drill hole of the second phase of drilling, our third ever drill hole on the project, underscores the immense potential of the untested copper porphyry targets at Santa Cecilia, which are all located within proximity, and within the same hydrothermal alteration system, as Newmont & Barrick's Caspiche deposit, which is part of one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in the world.

“我們很高興地宣佈,我們的旗艦聖塞西莉亞項目位於智利傳奇的馬裏昆加地帶的Pircas Norte目標發現了重大的金和銅。這一發現是在我們第二階段鑽探的第一個鑽孔中發現的,也是我們有史以來在該項目上的第三個鑽孔,它突顯了聖塞西莉亞未經測試的銅斑岩目標的巨大潛力,這些目標與紐蒙特和巴里克的卡斯皮切礦牀位於附近,位於同一個熱液蝕變系統中,後者是世界上最大的未開發黃金項目之一。

"This achievement marks a pivotal moment for Torq Resources as it supports our primary exploration thesis that mineralization from the Caspiche deposit may extend onto the Santa Cecilia property. We are incredibly grateful to be the first junior exploration company to test this theory, as the project was primarily dormant for the better part of 30 years until we acquired the option for ownership. We are excited to continue our exploration efforts and unlock the full potential of Santa Cecilia, further solidifying our position as a key player in the exploration of Chile's most prolific mining belts."

“這一成就標誌着Torq Resources的關鍵時刻,因爲它支持了我們的主要勘探論點,即卡斯皮切礦牀的礦化作用可能會延伸到聖塞西莉亞地產。我們非常感謝成爲第一家檢驗這一理論的初級勘探公司,因爲在我們獲得所有權選擇權之前,該項目在30年的大部分時間裏一直處於休眠狀態。我們很高興能繼續我們的勘探工作,釋放聖塞西莉亞的全部潛力,進一步鞏固我們在智利最多產的採礦帶勘探中作爲關鍵參與者的地位。”

Detailed Discussion:

詳細討論:

The Santa Cecilia project is host to a 10 square kilometre (km) hydrothermal alteration footprint which contains a cluster of Au-Cu porphyry targets. The identified Au-Cu porphyry targets are mineralized either on surface or at shallow depths across approximately 4 km of strike length with very limited to no drilling completed, providing the Company with the opportunity to discover large-scale porphyry-style mineralization at or near surface through drilling (Figure 1). Norte Abierto's Caspiche porphyry gold-copper deposit, which is held in a 50/50 joint venture by Newmont and Barrick is hosted within the same broad hydrothermal alteration footprint that extends onto Santa Cecilia.

聖塞西莉亞項目佔地10平方千米(km)的熱液蝕變足跡,其中包含一組金銅斑岩目標。已確定的金銅斑岩目標在地表或淺層深度上礦化,走向長度約爲4千米,鑽探非常有限甚至沒有完成,這使公司有機會通過鑽探在地表或近地表發現大規模斑岩式礦化(圖1)。Norte Abierto的Caspiche斑岩金銅礦牀由紐蒙特和巴里克各佔一半的合資企業持有,位於延伸到聖塞西莉亞的廣泛熱液蝕變足跡中。

Of the three drill holes completed in the phase II drill program, two were located at the Pircas Norte target and consisted of approximately 600 m (24SC-DDH-003) and 496 m (24SC-DDH-005), respectively, and 404 m (24SC-DDH-004) was drilled at the Gemelos Norte target. The Pircas Norte and Gemelos Norte targets are located within 1 - 2 km of the Caspiche deposit. Pircas Norte has the largest footprint of observed porphyry mineralization at Santa Cecilia, measuring approximately 300 m x 400 m (Figure 2). Most of the Pircas Norte area is covered by colluvium, however selective rock samples have returned values between 0.35 g/t Au and 1.43 g/t Au, 0.09% Cu and 0.47% Cu, and irregular anomalies of up to 4 ppm Mo. The absence of epithermal indicators in the overburden suggests that Pircas Norte could host a shallow porphyry system which may be easier to access. In the southern region of Pircas Norte, the porphyry zone is in fault contact with the 600 m in diameter Pircas dacite dome system.

在第二階段鑽探計劃中完成的三個鑽孔中,有兩個位於北皮爾卡斯目標,分別包括約600米(24SC-DDH-003)和496米(24SC-DDH-005),在Gemelos Norte目標處鑽了404米(24SC-DDH-004)。Pircas Norte 和 Gemelos Norte 的目標位於 Caspiche 礦牀 1-2 公里以內。北皮爾卡斯在聖塞西莉亞觀測到的斑岩礦化足跡最大,尺寸約爲 300 m x 400 m(圖 2)。北皮爾卡斯地區的大部分地區都被堆積物覆蓋,但是選擇性岩石樣本返回的值在0.35克/噸金和1.43克/噸金之間,0.09%的銅和0.47%的銅之間,不規則的異常值高達4 ppm Mo。覆蓋層中沒有超熱指示器,這表明北皮爾卡斯可能擁有一個更容易進入的淺斑岩系統。在北皮爾卡斯的南部地區,斑岩區與直徑爲600米的皮爾卡斯達克特圓頂系統處於斷層接觸。

Drill hole 24SC-DDH-003, intersected 90.8 m of phreatomagmatic breccias, as well as the mineralized Pircas Norte porphyritic intrusive complex, which was present to the end of the hole. Besides the gold-copper-molybdenum porphyry style mineralization present in the area, the drilling has shown late-stage gold-zinc mineralization, represented by pyrite, chalcopyrite, low-iron sphalerite and galena veins.

24SC-DDH-003 鑽孔與 90.8 米的穿孔岩漿角礫岩以及一直存在於鑽孔盡頭的礦化 Pircas Norte 斑岩侵入性複合體相交。除了該地區存在的金銅鉬斑岩式礦化外,鑽探還顯示了晚期的金鋅礦化,以黃鐵礦、黃銅礦、低鐵閃鋅礦和方鉛礦脈爲代表。

The units intersected may be summarized as follows (Figure 3):

相交的單位可以彙總如下(圖 3):

  • Phreatomagmatic breccias: associated with the Pircas dacite dome system, from surface to 90.8 m.
  • Quartz diorite porphyry: from 90.8 m to 226 m, an irregular interval, including quartz diorite intrusive breccia at different levels and strong local faulting. In this section, a 62 m interval stands out (102 m to 164 m) averaging 0.49 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu and 12 g/t Mo. The interval shows mainly fault breccia and a late-stage polymetallic vein.
  • Diorite porphyry (amphibole-biotite): from 226 m to 432 m, possibly a late intrusive phase, sparsely veined and low-grade (approximately 0.15 g/t Au, on average), including 34 m (282 m to 316 m) of fault breccia with veined porphyry clasts which returned 0.43 g/t Au and 0.082% Cu and 0.29% Zinc (Zn). Additionally, a large slab of intrusive diorite breccia from the underlying unit was intercepted, from 354 m to 374 m, and returned results of 0.69 g/t Au, 0.1% Cu and 5.6 g/t Mo over 20 m.
  • Intrusive diorite breccia: from 432 m to 600 m (end of hole): brecciated, densely veined diorite porphyry phase, with frequent small fragments of Paleocene basement. The average grade was 0.46 g/t Au and 0.088% Cu.
  • Phreatomagmatic 角礫岩:與 Pircas dacite 圓頂系統有關,從地表到 90.8 m。
  • 石英閃長巖斑岩:從 90.8 m 到 226 m,間隔不規則,包括不同水平的石英閃長巖侵入性角礫岩和強烈的局部斷層。在本節中,62米的間隔最爲突出(102米至164米),平均金含量爲0.49克/噸,銅含量爲0.16%,鉬含量爲12克/噸。該間隔主要顯示斷層角礫岩和晚期多金屬礦脈。
  • 閃長巖斑岩(閃石-黑雲母):從226米到432米,可能是晚期侵入期,礦脈稀疏且品位低(平均約0.15克/噸金),包括34米(282米至316米)的斷層角礫岩,帶有脈狀斑岩碎片,返回0.43克/噸金和0.082%的銅,0.29%的鋅(鋅)。此外,從354米到374米處截獲了一大塊來自下層單元的侵入性閃長巖角礫岩,在20米以上返回了0.69克/噸金、0.1%銅和5.6克/噸鉬的結果。
  • 侵入性閃長巖角礫岩:從 432 m 到 600 m(孔的盡頭):角礫狀的、密集的脈狀閃長巖斑岩相位,經常有古新世基底的小碎片。平均品位爲0.46克/噸金和0.088%的銅。

Drilling stopped in mineralization due to logistical limitations.

由於物流限制,鑽探因礦化而停止。
