VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koryx Copper Inc. ("Koryx" or "the Company") (TSX-V: KRY) announces the sixth batch of assay results from the current drill program at its Haib Copper project in southern Namibia. The results from the latest three drill holes continue to confirm that the deposit can deliver high grades over substantial widths within the known historical resource.
加拿大卑詩省溫哥華，2024年5月15日（全球新聞通訊社）——Koryx Copper公司（“Koryx”或“該公司”，TSX-V：KRY）宣佈了目前在納米比亞南部Haib銅項目進行的鑽探計劃的第六批化驗結果。 最新三個鑽孔的結果繼續證實該礦牀在已知的歷史資源範圍內可以提供高品位和大寬度。
Pierre Léveillé, President & CEO of Koryx stated that: "We keep generating very positive results that demonstrate that the average grade of the deposit could be higher than the previous Mineral Resource Estimate. We are highly satisfied with those results which clearly add significant value to the deposit. We expect the results of the remaining 8 drillholes from the 2023-2024 drill program within four weeks, after which the focus will shift to updating the Mineral Resource Estimation."
Koryx的總裁兼首席執行官Pierre Léveillé表示："我們不斷產生非常積極的結果，表明礦牀的平均品位可能會高於以前的礦產資源估計。我們對這些結果非常滿意，這顯然爲礦牀增加了重要價值。 我們預計在四周內公佈2023-2024年鑽探計劃中其餘8個鑽孔的結果，之後的焦點將轉向更新礦產資源估計。
The 3 holes for which assay results are reported here, represent 676.65 meters of the 2023 – 2024 drill program (total 4,861 meters). Two of the holes were drilled in the centre of the Pit1 target area to close the sample spacing while the third was drilled westwards from the western edge of Pit 1 to test mineralisation towards the Pit 2 area. Assay results of significant intersections are tabulated below:

HM09 is located south of the river in the centre of the Pit1 target area, approximately halfway up the southern slope of the riverbed. It was drilled southwestwards to close the sample spacing of the near-surface high grade zone identified here.
HM18 was positioned on the same section line as and 70m north of HM09. It was drilled northeastwards to close the sample spacing of the shallow high-grade zone in this direction.
HM42 was drilled northwestwards from the western edge of Pit1 to test how grades vary adjacent to the quartz vein that occurs between the Pit 1 and Pit 2 areas.
HM09位於目標塔吉特1中心地帶的河南，大約位於河牀南坡的中央位置。鑽孔朝西南方向鑽探，以填補已發現的近地表高品位區域的採樣間隔。
HM18位於HM09的同一橫斷面線上，並且在HM09的北側70米的位置。鑽孔朝東北方向鑽探，以填補該方向淺表高品位區域的採樣間隔。
HM42從1號坑和2號坑之間的石英脈旁邊的西緣朝西北方向鑽探，以測試毗鄰石英脈的品位變化。

Discussion about the results
關於結果的討論
HM09
With an average Cu grade of 0.49% for the entire 137.60m of the hole, results for HM09 were excellent and correlated well in terms of thickness and grades with other holes drilled in the centre of Pit1. Its primary purpose was to close the sample spacing of the shallow high-grade zone in Pit1.
HM18
Drilled 70m north of HM09, results show that the shallow mineralization intersected in the centre of Pit1 terminates at about 56m at a shear zone ~20m wide. The shear itself is mineralized but from its footwall Cu grades are suppressed. However, a 16m wide high- grade zone was intersected further down the hole from 126m which correlates with the lower portion of the Pit1 shallow mineralized zone. Similar results were received from HM15 and it appears that a small, localized fault block exists which has resulted in the removal of a portion of the Pit 1 shallow mineralized zone.
HM42
Drilled northwestwards from the western edge of Pit1, the entire 338.61m of the hole averages 0.34% Cu. Although relatively patchy, the first mineralization encountered correlates with the shallow mineralization in Pit 1. Typically, Mo grades are very low. Cu grades are low approaching the east of the quartz vein and increase significantly in the vein, averaging 0.8% Cu for the full 14.5m of the quartz vein. To the west of the vein, Cu grades are elevated averaging 0.36% Cu for the remaining 215m of the hole. Significantly, Mo grades remain low through the quartz vein but increase significantly to the west, averaging 0.02% Mo for 88m and 0.04% over 32m.
HM09
整個137.60米孔的平均銅品位爲0.49%，HM09的結果非常好，與在塔吉特1中心鑽孔的其他孔位相比，在厚度和品位方面吻合。它的主要目的是填補在Pit1中淺表高品位區域的採樣密度。
HM18
結果表明，HM18位於HM09的北側70米，淺表礦化在Pit1中心的交點處終止於大約56米處，在剪切帶約20米寬的部位。剪切自身也礦化，但從它的擋牆開始銅品位會下降。然而，在離鑽孔126米處的更深的部位遇到了16米寬的高品位區域，與Pit1淺表礦化區的下部吻合。HM15的結果類似，似乎存在一個小的局部斷層塊，其結果是移除了Pit1淺表礦化區的一部分。
HM42
從Pit1的西緣朝西北鑽孔至全孔長338.61米的平均銅品位爲0.34%。雖然銅品位相對不穩定，但首先發現的礦化與Pit1的淺表礦化吻合。通常，Mo品位非常低。靠近石英脈的東側，銅品位較低，並在石英脈中顯著增加，平均爲石英脈全長14.5m的0.8% Cu。在石英脈的西側，銅品位升高，對於孔剩餘215米的區間，平均爲0.36% Cu。顯著的是，儘管Mo品位非常低，在石英脈中Mo品位仍然很低，但在西側顯著增加，平均88米爲0.02% Mo，平均32米爲0.04%。
It is clear from the results for HM42 that the quartz vein is an important structural feature, separating at least 2 distinct mineralization events. The presence of high Cu grades in the vein point to a syngenetic relationship, while it is clear the vein has formed a barrier to the movement of Mo during a later mineralizing event.
從HM42的結果來看，石英脈是一種重要的結構特徵，分開了至少兩個明顯礦化事件。石英脈中高銅品位的存在表明一種共生關係，同時也清楚地表明石英脈形成了一個屏障，阻止了Mo在後期成礦事件中的運動。
Drill Program Update
鑽孔計劃更新
Since the resumption of drilling in October 2023, all 26 of the planned holes of this campaign have been completed totaling 4,861 meters. All holes have been logged, sampled and submitted to ALS for assaying with the results of 18 holes (1,825 samples) received to date from ALS. Currently the assay results for 8 drillholes from ALS are outstanding.
自2023年10月恢復鑽探以來，本次計劃的26個鑽孔全部完成，共計4,861米。所有鑽孔已記錄、採樣並提交給ALS進行評估，目前從ALS收到了18個鑽孔（1,825個樣品）的評估結果。目前仍有8個鑽孔的評估結果未出。
At 1.8 billion years old (Paleoproterozoic), the Haib Copper Deposit is one of the oldest porphyry copper style 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 drill program looks to close the sample spacing in the Pit1 area and better delineate the extent and grades of these.
作爲世界上最古老的斑岩銅礦類型之一，海布銅礦牀已有18億年的歷史（古元古代）。多年來，它經歷了幾次變異，包括似乎進一步濃縮Cu和Mo的剪切和斷層事件。在Pit1中已經確定了許多這些礦化結構。修改後的鑽探計劃旨在填補Pit1區域的採樣間隔，並更好地勾畫這些區域的範圍和品位。
Quality Control
質量控制
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 and the other quarter will be used for metallurgical test work. 33 elements are analyzed by Inductively 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.
所有鑽探芯都會被記錄、拍攝並用金剛石鋸切成兩部分。其中一半芯樣被裝袋，送到南非約翰內斯堡的ALS Laboratories有限公司進行分析（SANAS認可檢測實驗室，編號T0387），而另一半則被切成四份，一份仍在現場存檔備查，另一份將用於冶金試驗。通過感應耦合等離子體（ICP）利用4種酸消化法分析了33種元素，而黃金則採用30克的火試法鑑定。每批次都包括重複樣本、空白樣本和認證標準，並積極使用以確保適當的質量保證和質量控制。
Please note that: Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates are based on Indicated Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. However, there is no certainty that these indicated mineral resources will be converted to measured categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied. There is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
請注意：不是礦牀儲量的礦產資源沒有經濟可行性。礦產資源估計未考慮採礦能力、選擇性、採礦損失和稀釋。這些礦產資源估計基於被認爲地質學上過於投機，無法應用能使它們被分類爲礦牀儲量的經濟考慮的指明礦產資源。但是，並沒有確切的證據表明這些指示的礦產資源將通過進一步的鑽探轉化爲測量範疇，或在應用了經濟考慮之後變爲礦牀儲量。初步經濟評估是否能實現並不確定。Dean Richards先生，Pr.Sci.Nat.，MGSSA - BSc.（Hons.）地質學，是Haib項目的符合國家43-101法規定義的合格人，並批准了本新聞稿中所包含的技術披露。
