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).
