VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 22,
2022 /CNW/ - Metallis Resources
Inc. (TSXV: MTS) (OTCQB: MTLFF) (the "Company" or
"Metallis") is pleased to announce assay results from drill hole
KH22-46, the first hole from the Company's 2022 exploration program
(the "Program") at its 100%-owned Kirkham Property situated in the
prolific Golden Triangle, northwestern British Columbia, a region known worldwide for
the past producing Eskay Creek and
Snip gold mines, Seabridge's KSM porphyry deposits, and Newcrest
Mining's Brucejack and Red-Chris mines.
Fiore Aliperti, Metallis'
President, and CEO commented, "I am happy to say the geological
team achieved their goal of proving the extension of the porphyry
copper/gold zone in the South Cliff area beneath the well
mineralized intersections known from previous drilling. Not
only did the season's first hole hit, but more importantly it
confirms that grade extends to depth." He went on to add "What this
hole highlights is that the mineralized system extends over 150
meters below the hole above it, more than 300 meters below surface,
and that it remains open to depth and along strike. The critical
factor here is the continuity of the system, which is something to
be excited about."
Drill Result Highlights:
- Drill Hole KH22-46 intersected 106.9 meters (or "m") of 0.54
g/t gold equivalent (or "AuEq") including a higher-grade section of
37.7m of 0.85 g/t AuEq; both within a
broader intercept of 205 m of 0.43
g/t AuEq;
- The 106.9 m intersection
indicates that the mineralized zone in the south Cliff area is
continuous over at least 300 m from
surface and that it remains open vertically; and
- KH22-46 shows continuity of the system along strike at the
South Cliff area for a distance of approximately 500 m, and it forms a key part of the larger 4 km
long Cliff-Miles porphyry corridor.
The Program was focused at the South Cliff area of the
Cliff-Miles porphyry corridor, with an objective to test for
higher-grade extensions of copper and gold mineralization beneath
the well mineralized drill intersections of holes KH17-08, KH18-16
and KH19-30, which returned the best results from the Kirkham
Property to date (Click Here to View Drilling Results Table) The
assay results from KH22-46 show that the mineralized porphyry
gold/copper system has been extended approximately 150 m below hole KH18-16 which cut 118 m of 0.80 g/t AuEq from surface (Click Here
to View Figure 1.)
The tabular Feeder Zone within the South Cliff area now exceeds
500 m in length, is approximately
100 m thick and extends to a depth of
over 300 m below surface.
Assay results from the next hole, KH22-47, are pending. This
hole was designed to test the mineralized zone 150 m below KH22-46. Several similar feeder zones
proximal to the Adam Fault have been intersected in each of the
identified fault-blocks along the 4 km-long Cliff-Miles porphyry
corridor.
