Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE:
P2QM) (“Eloro”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
assay results from two (2) additional diamond drill holes from its
on-going drilling program at the Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic
project in the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia. One drill hole,
DSB-31, tested the potential south-southeastern extension of the
high-grade feeder zone at Santa Barbara while the second hole,
DSB-33, tested the southwest limit of the zone in the vicinity of
the Central Breccia, as shown in Figure 1.
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
suggests 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 previously
reported, the definition drill program has been 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 has been pushed back to
the end of Q1 2023.
Overall, the Company has completed 77,182m in
119 drill holes to-date at Iska Iska, including four holes in
progress, as shown in Figure 1. Tables 1 and 2 list significant
assay results for the drill holes reported. Prices used for
calculating Ag equivalent grades are as outlined in Eloro’s July
21, 2022 press release. Table 3 summarizes drill holes with assays
pending. Highlights for the drilling are as follows:
Santa Barbara High Grade Feeder Zone
Extension Definition Drilling
Hole DSB-31 was drilled to test
the potential south-southeastern extension of the Santa Barbara
High Grade Feeder Zone shown in Figure 1. This hole was collared
approximately 200m south-southeast of the underground drill bay in
the Santa Barbara adit and was drilled at an azimuth of 2250 with a
dip of -600. This hole intersected several extensive high grade
silver zones:
- 198.00 g
Ag eq/t (67.79 g Ag/t, 1.44% Zn and 1.04% Pb) over 134.47m
from 11.61m to 146.06m, including a higher-grade portion of
566.36 g Ag eq/t (246.26 g Ag/t, 3.72% Zn and 3.88% Pb)
over 25.51m from 113.09m to 138.60m,
- 161.54 g
Ag eq/t (32.14 g Ag/t, 1.94% Zn and 0.76% Pb) over 82.12m
from 168.46m to 250.58m including a higher-grade portion of
384.21 g Ag eq/t (104.09 g Ag/t, 3.74% Zn and 2.34% Pb)
over 19.14m from 210.45m to 229.59m,
- 123.24 g
Ag eq/t (9.23 g Ag/t, 1.44% Zn, 0.26% Pb and 0.07% Sn) over
62.23m from 466.48m to 528.65m including higher-grade
portions of 202.40 g Ag eq/t
(13.75 g Ag/t, 2.46% Zn, 0.33% Pb and 0.12
Sn) over 20.63m from 480.00 to 500.63m and 166.76
g Ag eq/t (9.76 g Ag/t, 1.83% Zn,
0.50% Pb and 0.11 Sn) over 13.05m from 515.60 to
528.65m.
- 126.21 g
Ag eq/t (6.05 g Ag/t, 1.58% Zn and 0.52% Pb) over 81.12m
from 614.21m to 695.33m
- 120.39 g
Ag eq/t (8.32 g Ag/t, 1.78% Zn and 0.06% Pb) over 11.99m
from 900.33m to 912.32m
- Overall,
51% of the overall length of this
987.99m long hole yielded reportable
intersections, which collectively average 139.44 g Ag
eq/t.
The high-grade silver zone intersected in hole
DSB-31 appears to be in the same structural-mineralized corridor as
the silver-rich zone in the Santa Barbara adit. As previously
reported (see press release dated April 13, 2021), channel sampling
along the adit returned 441.98 g Ag eq/t (164.96 g Ag/t,
0.23 g Au/t, 3.46% Pb and 0.46% Sn) over 165.89m. Adjusted
to prices used in this current release, the overall Ag eq/t value
is 493.61 g Ag eq/t.
Hole DSB-33 was drilled at an
azimuth of 2250 with a dip of -600 to test the southwest limit of
the high-grade feeder zone in the vicinity of the Central Breccia
(Figure 1). This hole intersected 18 reportable intersections
including a very high tin intersection grading 1.41% Sn
over 21.25m from 354.98m to 376.23m. This included a
9.04m section from 356.56m to 365.60m that graded
3.08% Sn. A total of 26% of this
825.82m hole contained reportable intersections which collectively
averaged 123.39 g Ag eq/t.
Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro said: “Hole DSB-31 and
Hole DSB-33 continue to confirm high grade values of metals,
especially silver to the south-southeast and tin to the southwest
of the ever-expanding Santa Barbara feeder system. The geophysical
surveys have been remarkable as a tool in determining where these
highly conductive areas of potential commercial mineralization are
located.
On behalf of the Eloro shareholders, I
congratulate Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., Dr. Chris Hale, P.Geo. and
Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo., in systematically defining the Santa
Barbara feeder system through geophysics and follow up drilling.
The added strike length along the collapsed caldera valley floor
will further extend the likely open pit dimensions resulting in
potentially stronger economics. These recently released holes at
Iska Iska further demonstrate both high grade metal zonation and
substantial tonnage potential.”
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Eloro’s Executive Vice
President, Exploration commented: “We are continuing our
100m-spaced sectional definition diamond drill program focusing on
testing the south-southeastern extension of the high-grade feeder
zone across the valley of the Iska Iska Caldera. Figure 1 shows
holes in progress and planned. Our aim is to complete this program
by November so that assay results can be received by early Q1 2023
to facilitate completion of the inaugural NI 43-101 mineral
resource by the end of Q1 2023. We are also continuing to work
closely with GeologicAI and our mineralogists in Blue Coast
Research and Lisa Can Analytical Solutions to calibrate the AI in
the scanning system to track the mineral and metal zoning more
accurately. The drilling results reported herein, as well as
previous results, along with on-site work by Dr. Osvaldo Arce,
P.Geo. and his geological team, support the potential for outlining
significant zones of high-grade silver and high-grade tin. The
high-grade silver is typically shallower whereas the high-grade tin
is generally deeper. The remarkable feeder zone at Iska Iska
continues to be open along strike and down-dip especially to the
south-southeast and it likely extends across a width of least 500m
for potentially as much as 2km along strike.”

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.

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. Turnaround time continues to
improve, as laboratories return to more normal staffing levels.
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 99%
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
suggests 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 has been 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 has been pushed back to the end of Q1
2023.
