White Metal Drilling Expands Bench Zone, Returning 105 Metres of 0.91 g/t Au from the Tower Mountain Gold Project, Ontario

White Metal Drilling Expands Bench Zone, Returning 105 Metres of 0.91 g/t Au from the Tower Mountain Gold Project, Ontario

White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (FSE: CGK1) (OTC Pink: TNMLF) ("White Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received additional drill results from its ongoing Phase 3 drilling program at its flagship Tower Mountain Gold Project (the "Project" or "Property"). The two drill holes TM-21-120 and TM-21-121 were designed to test the down dip and expansion of the Bench Zone and the Company is very pleased to report that both holes were successful in expanding the Bench Zone. The Phase 3 drilling program was designed to further test the encouraging results received from the Company's Phase 1 and 2 drilling programs previously reported that have been testing multiple gold zones (Figure 1).

Table 1: Summary of recent core assay results from two holes, current Phase 3 drilling program, Bench Zone.

Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Interval (m)* Au (g/t)
TM-21-120 182.00 287.00 105.00 0.91
incl. 216.50 237.50 21.00 2.34
TM-21-121 143.0 210.5 67.5 0.78
incl. 143.0 162.5 19.5 1.08
incl. 182.0 209.0 27.0 1.09
and 257.0 293.0 36.0 0.69

 

 *drill hole intervals are not true widths and are being reported as core lengths.

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, stated: "These widespread gold intercepts continue to demonstrate Tower Mountain's economic potential and we are encouraged that the Bench Zone has promise to host an open-pit mineral resource. This is further substantiated by the combined Bench Zone,110 Zone and D Zone results which are interpreted to represent a broad, single alteration-mineralization system. We will continue to drill the prospective areas within these zones to further our understanding of this impressive gold system. The total strike distance between the northwest portion of the Bench Zone to the southern area of the 110 Zone is approximately 800 metres although additional drilling is required to fully test if there is continuity between the zones."

TM-21-120 was drilled 30 m to the west-southwest of TM-21-106 (see Company news release dated September 23, 2021) while TM-21-121 was drilled 103 m to the southeast of TM-21-120. Both holes were drilled as follow-up from the Phase 2 drilling program and the encouraging results obtained from holes TM-21-105, 106, and 107 that were also designed to test the down-dip extension of the Bench Zone (see Table 1 results from the Bench Zone).

The ongoing Phase 3 drilling program has been very successful expanding the Bench Zone to the west and demonstrating the continuity of the down-dip extension. It should also be noted that both diamond drill holes ended in gold mineralization, with TM-21-120 returning 0.67 g/t Au from 285.5-287.0 m (End of Hole) and TM-21-121 returning 0.48 g/t Au from 291.5-293.0 m (End of Hole).

White Metal Reports "A Zone" Drilling Returns 21.0 Metres Grading 4.05 g/t Au, Tower Mountain Gold Project, Ontario

White Metal Reports "A Zone" Drilling Returns 21.0 Metres Grading 4.05 g/t Au, Tower Mountain Gold Project, Ontario

White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (FSE: CGK1) (OTC Pink: TNMLF) ("White Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received core assay results from the first three diamond drill holes from its Phase 3 drilling program at its flagship Tower Mountain Gold Project (the "Project" or "Property"). These first three holes were designed to test the strike extent of the A Zone with all three holes intersecting broad intervals of gold mineralization.

  • TM-21-117: 30.0 m grading 1.30 g/t Au (from 5.0 m).
  • TM-21-118: 49.5 m grading 1.01 g/t Au (from 8.0 m), including 24.0 m grading 1.8 g/t Au.
  • TM-21-119: 21.5 m grading 4.05 g/t/Au (from 6.5 m).

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, "We would like to wish all our shareholders a happy and prosperous 2022 and look forward to this year's very exciting exploration program. We are delighted to report the first assay results from the A Zone drilling that continue to deliver excellent intercepts of gold mineralization, demonstrating that this zone is open for expansion. Encouraged by the success of the Company's Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling programs, these early results from Phase 3 drilling indicate that the Tower Mountain Gold Project continues to grow while showing potential to host near-surface low-grade bulk tonnage and high-grade gold mineralization. As we await further assay results from the Bench Zone, D Zone and 110 Zone, the current Phase 3 drilling program is targeting the Ellen Zone and the Star Zone, among others."

Cobre Unveils Maiden Resource at Comet, Targets Low-cost In-situ Copper Recovery

Highlighting the first mineral resource estimate (MRE) at Comet within the Ngami copper project in Botswana, Cobre (ASX:CBE) CEO Adam Woolridge outlines a path toward low-cost, scalable in-situ copper recovery, backed by significant exploration upside.

“You're looking at an exploration target of 200 million to 300 million tonnes at around 0.4 percent copper,” Woolridge said.

“When you start looking at this as an in-situ copper recovery process, you have really good grade continuity. And this has been reflected in the MRE. And it's also come out from just looking at this deposit from a geometry point of view — it's got a really simple geometry, a lot of great continuity, and it's been relatively cost effective to move each tonne of contained copper into category.”

What Was the Highest Price for Copper?

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound, or US$5,203.58 per metric ton (MT), in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.
