ValOre Reports Final Assay Results for Trapiá 1, Pedra Branca Project
30 Outubro 2023 - 8:00AM
ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”;
TSX‐V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF;
Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today reported assay
results from the Trapiá 1 deposit (“Trapiá 1”) area as part of the
2023 Phase 1 drill program at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca
Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”)
in northeastern Brazil.
“The 2023 core drilling program at Trapiá 1 has
successfully demonstrated resource expansion potential, extending
known PGE mineralization 400 metres outside of the existing Trapiá
1 resource boundary, including high-grade palladium-platinum
mineralization within broad intersections of PGE-mineralized
ultramafic rocks, and high-grade magmatic nickel sulfide
mineralization,” stated Thiago Diniz, Exploration Manager, ValOre
Metals Corp. “The 2023 results build on the 31 previously drilled
core holes at Trapiá 1 to extend known mineralization to almost 1
kilometre in strike length and down to 300 metres vertical depth,
in a deposit that is already the largest resource zone at Pedra
Branca.”
Trapiá 1 2023 Drill Program
Highlights
- A total of 1,326
metres (“m”) were drilled in 4 step-out drill holes, with PGEs
intersected in all 4 holes, extending mineralization 400 m outside
of the 2022 NI 43-101 optimized resource pit;
- New assays from
three of the four holes include:
- 13.55 m
at 0.10 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold (“g/t
2PGE+Au”), 0.32% nickel (“Ni”), 0.06% copper (“Cu”)
starting from 283.2 m, and including 3.10 m at 0.22 g/t
2PGE+Au, 0.95% Ni, 0.21% Cu from 283.7 m and 1.4 m at 0.15
g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.52% Ni, 0.05% Cu from 294.5 m in drill hole
DD23TU32;
- 88.25 m
at 0.42 g/t 2PGE+Au from 241.2 m in drill hole
DD23TU35;
-
Significant magmatic sulfide mineralization
intersected in holes DD23TU32 and DD23TU33, including
disseminated to semi-massive sulfides (pyrrhotite > pentlandite
> chalcopyrite), with four core samples returning over 1% Ni
sulfide mineralization in drill hole DD23TU32;
- Drill holes
DD23TU34 and DD23TU35 confirm continuity of PGE mineralization,
which remains open in all directions.
