White Metal Expands the Ellen Zone with Step-Out Drilling Returning 3.68 g/t Au over 10.5 m, Including 19.9 g/t over 1.5 m, Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario

White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (FRA: CGK1) (OTCMKTS: TNMLF) ("White Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the assay results from the first three diamond drill holes from the Phase 2 drilling program on its Flagship Tower Stock Gold Project (the "Project" or "Property"). The three holes were designed to test both the strike and down-dip extension of gold mineralization at the Ellen Zone, a new discovery made in the Phase 1 diamond drilling program that intersected 1.7 gt Au over 82.5 m (from 10 m), including 3.0 gt Au over 45 m (from 10 m) in drill hole TM-21-94 ( see White Metal news release dated April 20, 2021 ).

A summary of results from the higher-grade gold intersections for the first three holes from Phase 2 is provided in Table 1. Hole TM-21-100 , drilled 25 m northwest of TM-21-94, confirmed the northwest strike-extension of the Ellen Zone, returning anomalous to high-grade gold between 23 m and 113 m that range from 77 ppb to 19,900 ppb Au (60 samples). The weighted average of this 90 m interval is 1.23 g/t Au, including 3.68 g/t Au over 10.5 m (from 23 m).

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, "Again, we have shown that the Tower Stock Gold Property has great potential to host a significant gold deposit. We are pleased to announce that because of these new positive assay results, we will extend the current drilling program to further test the Ellen Zone along strike to the northwest. We also look forward to reporting the results of all drill hole assays as they become available. The Tower Stock Gold Property is unique because of its location, great infrastructure and excellent geology that delivered exceptional gold grades over wide intervals."


Table 1. Summary of assay results from three initial Phase 2 drill holes.

Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t) Au (ppb)
TM-21-98 72.5 80.0 7.5 1.34 1,335
and 86.0 95.0 9.0 2.01 2,007
and 102.5 107.0 4.5 1.80 1,796
and 159.5 165.5 6.0 1.02 1,023
TM-21-99 anomalous gold from 4 to 197 metres
TM-21-100 23.0 33.5 10.5 3.68 3,683
and 48.5 65.0 16.5 1.35 1,345
and 92.0 113.0 21.0 1.90 1,898

Note: drill hole intervals are not representative of true width.
All three drill holes were oriented at azimuth 045 and -50 degrees dip.


Hole TM-21-98 , drilled 20 m southwest of and on section with TM-21-94, confirmed the down-dip extension of the Ellen Zone, returning anomalous to high-grade gold between 72.5 m and 107 m that range from 61 ppb to 5,800 ppb Au (23 samples). The weighted average of this 34.5 m interval is 1.11 g/t Au, including 2.01 g/t Au over 9 m (from 86 m).

Hole TM-21-99 , drilled 25 m to the southeast of TM-21-94, was designed to test the southeast strike-extension of the Ellen Zone but returned minor gold mineralization ranging from 6 ppb to 1,300 ppb Au in 129 samples.

Ellen Zone gold mineralization is hosted within sub-greenschist, chlorite-altered metavolcanic rocks and is associated with secondary semi-pervasive and intense sericite + pyrite (phyllic) alteration with locally-developed hydrothermal brecciation. Due to the excellent results from the Ellen Zone, the drilling program will now be extended to further test the down-dip and strike potential of the Ellen Zone.

The Tower Stock Property is located approximately 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario and covers approximately 1,968 hectares. A more detailed description of the Project and the latest diamond drilling and exploration programs can be viewed on the Company's website ( https://www.whitemetalres.com/tower-stock-au.html ).

The Company has completed a total of 2,285.5 metres of the 3,000-metre Phase 2 drilling program on four different zones. To date, 11 drill holes have been completed and samples from the first 10 holes have been submitted to Activation Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Sample Analysis
Half core samples and Company QA/QC standards and blanks were submitted for analysis by Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

ASX Copper Mining Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2024

Copper prices sunk toward the end of 2023, but began to shift higher in early 2024 as treatment charges at Chinese refiners dropped to single digits, causing some to cut production.

As refined product supply became increasingly tight, prices gained momentum. In April, copper broke US$10,000 per tonne and set new all-time highs on both the London Metal Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Prices for the red metal have since retreated, trading in the US$8,800 to US$9,400 range through August, September and October. However, despite recent pullbacks, copper is likely to see gains in the long term — a supply deficit is expected over the next several years as demand from the energy transition continues to increase.
