Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE:
P2QM) (“Eloro”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
assay results from reconnaissance drilling on the Mina Casiterita
Property (8 holes totalling 5,726.8m), additional definition
drilling on the eastern margin and southern extension of the Santa
Barbara deposit (5 holes totalling 4,223.7m) and reconnaissance
drilling in the Porco-Mina 2 area (3 holes totalling 2,544.9m). In
total 16 holes totaling 12,495.4m have been completed as shown in
Figure 1 (Casiterita/Porco-Mina 2) and Figure 2 (Santa Barbara).
Table 1 provides the coordinates of the drill holes for which
results are reported in this press release and Table 2 lists
information for holes for which assay results are still pending.
Significant results are listed in Tables 3 (Casiterita), 4 and 5
(Santa Barbara) and 6 (Porco-Mina 2).
Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro, said: “We are
encouraged by the initial drilling results from Mina Casiterita,
especially considering the reconnaissance nature of the drill
program. The grade and width intersected in hole DCT-03,
considering the recently reported positive “ore-sorting” results
(see Eloro press release dated July 26, 2023), is attractive
particularly with the higher-grade sections. Continued diamond
drilling is being delayed pending the finalization of the granting
of the mining rights process for the Mina Casiterita and Mina
Hoyada properties (“Additional Properties”), through the signing of
Administrative Mining Contracts between the regional Jurisdictional
Administrative Mining Authority in Bolivia and the Additional
Properties Title Holder, from whom the properties are being
acquired.”
Mr. Larsen further noted: “Upon completion of
this internal process within the Bolivian mining regulator AJAM,
Eloro’s Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Tupiza S.R.L. will consolidate
its one hundred percent (100%) participation in the Additional
Properties, pursuant to its option agreement with the vendor. In
connection with this transaction, 200,000 common shares of Eloro
will be issued to acquire the capital quotas of the Additional
Properties Title Holder (see Eloro press release dated November 22,
2022).”
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Eloro’s Executive Vice
President, Exploration commented: “The inaugural mineral resource
is near completion and is expected to be released by the end of
August. Following completion of the recent $6.9 million bought deal
financing (see Eloro press release dated August 3, 2023), the
planned next phase of work at Iska Iska has begun. The work plan
consists of an initial 5,600m of definition drilling at Santa
Barbara to better define higher grade areas in the shallower parts
of the potential pit to enhance earlier payback; drilling of four
PQ metallurgical holes totaling 1,250m for further metallurgical
tests including “ore-sorting”; and preparation of a PEA, including
required site work, on the Santa Barbara deposit. The project
budget includes allowances for important ESG and community support
programs, a gravity survey over Iska Iska to test for the deeper
tin porphyry and for exploration, including geophysical surveys on
the outside properties.”
Reconnaissance Diamond Drilling Mina
Casiterita
The Mina Casiterita property which ties on to
the southwest part of the Iska Iska (Porvenir) property as shown in
Figure 1, is underlain by Ordovician sedimentary rocks which have
been intruded by a large dacitic dome which is in the central part
of the property. Geophysical surveys outlined an extensive strong
conductivity anomaly at least 1km long in the centre of the
property (see Eloro press release dated February 14, 2023). There
are numerous artisanal tin workings on the property with production
from 1962 to 1964 reported by the Departamento Nacional de Geología
(National Department of Geology) in Bolivia to be 69.85
tonnes grading 50.60% Sn, which is a
typical grade of Sn concentrate achieved by conventional gravity
separation.
Eight (8) holes totalling 5,726.8m were drilled
on the Casiterita property. As shown in Figure 1, Holes DCT-01 and
DCT-02 were drilled in the eastern side of the property. Hole
DCT-03, drilled in the northwestern corner of the property, tested
an area with numerous artisanal tin workings while holes DCT-04 to
DCT-08 inclusive tested a section across the centre of the
property. These latter five holes intersected the large dacitic
dome that underlies the centre of the property.
Widespread lower grade sulphide mineralization
was intersected in all holes in vein breccias, veins, veinlets and
replacement zones. Typical minerals were pyrite, sphalerite,
hematite, jarosite, cassiterite with local arsenopyrite and
chalcopyrite. Oxidation typically extends to a depth of 50m
followed by a 10-15m thick transitional zone. The widespread
sulphides explain the strong conductivity anomaly over the
area.
The best results were obtained from hole
DCT-03, collared in vicinity of the artisanal mine
workings in the northwestern part of the property, which returned
0.17% Sn, 5.48 g Ag/t and 0.15 g Au/t over 52.75m
from 70.20m to 122.95m which included higher grade intersections of
0.35% Sn and 0.35 g Au/t over
6.11m from 89.59m to 95.70m and 1.02% Sn
and 0.14 g Au/t over 4.54m from 116.96m
to 121.50m. The higher-grade tin occurs as cassiterite in quartz
veins/vein breccias cutting the Ordovician sediments on the margin
of the dacitic intrusion.
Sn mineralization at Casiterita is located 2km
southwest of the Santa Barbara deposit indicating that the overall
Iska Iska mineralizing system is much more extensive as predicted
from geophysical data (see Eloro press release February 14, 2023).
Further drilling outside the dacitic dome in the Ordovician
sediments and deeper for the source of the tin mineralization is
required to fully evaluate this prospective target
area.
Santa Barbara Drilling Eastern/Southern
Extension
Initial modeling of the Santa Barbara
mineralization indicated that there were gaps in drilling in the
eastern part of the deposit that needed to be filled in.

northeastern part of the Santa Barbara deposit, returned well
mineralized intersections as follows:
- 125.99g

0.79% Zn and 0.32% Pb) over 34.33m 529.40m to 563.73m
(DSB-53)
The results from these two holes have been
incorporated into the drill database for estimation of the
inaugural mineral resource estimate expected in the latter part of
August. Results from DHK-31 as well as DSB-55 and DSB-56 outlined
below were received after the cutoff date for the assay database of
the inaugural MRE.
Holes DSB-55 and DSB-56 were
drilled to further test the southern extension of the Santa Barbara
deposit as shown in Figure 2. Hole DSB-55 was collared 100m south
of previous drilling while hole DSB-56 was collared a further 100m
south. Significant results are as follows:
- 145.69g
Ag eq/t (6.37g Ag/t, 0.17g Au/t, 1.94% Zn, and 0.29% Pb) over

(DSB-56)
These two holes collectively extend the strike
length of the Santa Barbara deposit to over
1,400m; still open in all directions.
Reconnaissance Drilling Porco – Mina 2
Area
Three (3) reconnaissance drill holes, two at
Porco (DPC-14 and DPC-15) and one at Mina 2 were completed to test
across the valley between the Iska Iska Caldera and Mina Casiterita
(Figure 1). All of these holes intersected Ordovician sediments
that form the basement rocks of the caldera.
Hole DPC-15 intersected 81.99 g Ag eq/t
(12.52 g Ag/t, 0.16g Au/t, and 0.11% Sn) over 15.14m from
225.31m to 240.45m as well as a number of shorter lower grade
sections. The Ordovician sediments are typically the least
favourable host rocks at Iska Iska but the high intensity of the
Iska Iska mineralizing system has mineralized even these sediments.
Assays for DPC-13 and DPC-14 are pending.

Note: True width of the mineralization is not
known at the present time, but based on the current understanding
of the relationship between drill orientation/inclination and the
mineralization within the breccia pipes and the host rocks such as
sandstones and dacites, it is estimated that true width ranges
between 70% and 90% of the down hole interval length but this will
be confirmed by further drilling and geological modelling.
Chemical symbols: Ag= silver, Au = gold, Zn =
zinc, Pb = lead, Cu = copper, Sn = tin, Bi = bismuth, Cd = cadmium
and g Ag eq/t = grams silver equivalent per tonne. Quantities are
given in percent (%) for Zn, Pb Cu, Sn, Bi and Cd and in grams per
tonne (g/t) for Ag, Au and Ag eq.
Metal prices and conversion factors used for
calculation of g Ag eq/t (grams Ag per grams x metal ratio) are as
follows: (Prices updated as of July 21, 2022, to more accurately
reflect current metal prices):

In calculating the intersections reported in
this press release a sample cutoff of 30 g Ag eq/t was used with
generally a maximum dilution of 3 continuous samples below cutoff
included within a mineralized section unless more dilution is
justified geologically.
The equivalent grade calculations are based on
the stated metal prices and are provided for comparative purposes
only, due to the polymetallic nature of the deposit. Metallurgical
tests are in progress by Blue Coast Ltd. to establish levels of
recovery for each element reported but currently the potential
recovery for each element has not yet been established. While there
is no assurance that all or any of the reported concentrations of
metals will be recoverable, Bolivia has a long history of
successfully mining and processing similar polymetallic deposits
which is well documented in the landmark volume “Yacimientos
Metaliferos de Bolivia” by Dr. Osvaldo R. Arce Burgoa, P.Geo.

Qualified Person
Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P. Geo., General Manager of
Eloro’s Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Tupiza S.R.L., and a Qualified
Person in the context of NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the
technical content of this news release. Dr. Bill
Pearson, P.Geo., Executive Vice President Exploration Eloro, and
who has more than 45 years of worldwide mining exploration
experience, including extensive work in South America, manages the
overall technical program, working closely with Dr. Osvaldo Arce,
P.Geo. Dr. Quinton Hennigh, P.Geo., Senior Technical Advisor to
Eloro and Independent Technical Advisor, Mr. Charley Murahwi P.
Geo., FAusIMM of Micon are regularly consulted on technical aspects
of the project.
Eloro is utilizing both ALS and AHK for drill
core analysis, both of whom are major international accredited
laboratories. Drill samples sent to ALS are prepared in both
ALS Bolivia Ltda’s preparation facility in Oruro, Bolivia and
the preparation facility operated by AHK in Tupiza with pulps sent
to the main ALS Global laboratory in Lima for analysis. More
recently Eloro has had ALS send pulps to their laboratory at Galway
in Ireland. Eloro employs an industry standard QA/QC program with
standards, blanks and duplicates inserted into each batch of
samples analyzed with selected check samples sent to a separate
accredited laboratory.
Drill core samples sent to AHK Laboratories are
prepared in a preparation facility installed and managed by AHK in
Tupiza with pulps sent to the AHK laboratory in Lima, Peru. Au and
Sn analysis on these samples is done by ALS Bolivia Ltda in Lima.
Check samples between ALS and AHK are regularly done as a QA/QC
check. AHK is following the same analytical protocols used as with
ALS and with the same QA/QC protocols.
About Iska Iska
Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project is a
road accessible, royalty-free property, wholly controlled by the
Title Holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. and is located 48 km
north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department
of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Eloro has an option to earn a 100%
interest in Iska Iska.
Iska Iska is a major silver-tin polymetallic
porphyry-epithermal complex associated with a Miocene possibly
collapsed/resurgent caldera, emplaced on Ordovician age rocks with
major breccia pipes, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. The
caldera is 1.6km by 1.8km in dimension with a vertical extent of at
least 1km. Mineralization age is similar to Cerro Rico de Potosí
and other major deposits such as San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna and
Tatasi located in the same geological trend.
Eloro began underground diamond drilling from
the Huayra Kasa underground workings at Iska Iska on September 13,
2020. On November 18, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of a
significant breccia pipe with extensive silver polymetallic
mineralization just east of the Huayra Kasa underground workings
and a high-grade gold-bismuth zone in the underground workings. On
November 24, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of the SBBP
approximately 150m southwest of the Huayra Kasa underground
workings.
Subsequently, on January 26, 2021, Eloro
announced significant results from the first drilling at the SBBP
including the discovery hole DHK-15 which returned 129.60 g Ag eq/t
over 257.5m (29.53g Ag/t, 0.078g Au/t, 1.45%Zn, 0.59%Pb, 0.080%Cu,
0.056%Sn, 0.0022%In and 0.0064% Bi from 0.0m to 257.5m. Subsequent
drilling has confirmed significant values of Ag-Sn polymetallic
mineralization in the SBBP and the adjacent CBP. A substantive
mineralized envelope which is open along strike and down-dip
extends around both major breccia pipes. Continuous channel
sampling of the Santa Barbara Adit located to the east of SBBP
returned 442 g Ag eq/t (164.96 g Ag/t, 0.46%Sn, 3.46% Pb and 0.14%
Cu) over 166m including 1,092 g Ag eq/t (446 g Ag/t, 9.03% Pb and
1.16% Sn) over 56.19m. The west end of the adit intersects the end
of the SBBP.
Since the initial discovery hole, Eloro has
released a number of significant drill results in the SBBP and the
surrounding mineralized envelope which along with geophysical data
has defined an extensive target zone. In its September 20, 2022
press release, the Company reported that new downhole geophysical
data has significantly extended the strike length of the high-grade
feeder zone at Santa Barbara a further 250m along strike to the
south-southeast from existing drilling. The 3D inverse magnetic
model which correlates very strongly with the conductive zone
suggested that the high-grade feeder zone may extend across the
entire caldera for as much as a further 1 km along strike for a
total potential strike length of at least 2 km. As reported, the
definition drill program was modified to sectionally drill this
potential extension with the intention of defining a major open
pittable deposit in the valley of the caldera. As a result, the
estimated completion date for the maiden National Instrument 43-101
mineral resource was pushed back to the end of Q1 2023.
The Company completed 84,495m of drilling in 122
holes from the definition drill program in the Santa Barbara target
area, as previously announced on November 27, 2022.
On November 22, 2022, Eloro announced the
pending acquisition of the Mina Casiterita and Mina Hoyada
properties covering 14.75 km2 southwest and west of Iska Iska.
These properties connect with the TUP-3 and TUP-6 claims previously
staked by Eloro. Eloro has also staked additional land in the area.
Subject to the finalization of the granting of the mining rights
process and the completion of the acquisition transaction for the
Mina Casiterita and Mina Hoyada properties, the total land package
in the Iska Iska area to be controlled by Eloro will total 1,935
quadrants covering 483.75 km2.
Artisanal mining in the 1960’s identified high
grade tin (Sn) veins on the Mina Casiterita property that are
hosted in an intrusive dacite. Production from 1962 to 1964 is
reported by the Departamento Nacional de Geología in Bolivia to be
69.85 tonnes grading 50.60% Sn.
Recently completed magnetic surveys by Eloro has
outlined an extensive, near surface, magnetic intrusive body on the
Mina Casiterita property immediately southwest of Iska Iska. This
intrusive hosts the previously mined high-grade tin veins and is
very likely the continuation of the porphyry tin intrusion
projected to be below the epithermal Ag-Sn-Zn-Pb mineralization at
Iska Iska.
The Porco adit from which previously reported
channel sampling returned 103m grading 521 g Ag eq/t (including g
117g Ag/t, 1.44 g Au/t, 0.54% Cu and 0.66% Sn) in altered basement
sediments, is located near the northeast part of the magnetic
anomaly, attesting to the potential strength and high-grade nature
of the mineralized system in the area.
