TORQUE METALS RESUMES DRILLING AT PARIS GOLD PROJECT

Major Drilling Campaign Targets Paris Gold’s High-Grade Lodes

Torque Metals Limited (ASX: TOR) is pleased to announce the re-commencement of drilling activities at its wholly owned flagship Paris Gold Project, situated on granted mining leases. This drilling programme aims to both infill and extend the existing gold lodes, contributing to Torque’s Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

Highlights

Drilling programme to re-commence at Paris Gold Project.
Program comprises up to 9,000m (~1,000m Diamond, ~8,000m RC) in-fill and extensional drilling; objective is to infill and extend mineralisation in Paris West and recent new-prospect named Eva.
Paris Gold is a shallow, high-grade, high-recovery (>96%) gold project proximate to processing infrastructure with strong results including but not limited to:
- 16m @ 4.19 g/t gold from 66m, including 2m @ 13.12 g/t gold from 72m and 2m @ 18.91 g/t gold from 80m in 24HRC087
- 35m @ 14.12 g/t gold from 157.85m including 1.2m @ 185 g/t gold from 174.7m; 4.44m @ 20.82 g/t gold from 170.3m and 2.49m @ 40.6 g/t gold from 167.8m 23PRCDD076
- 41m @ 5.93 g/t gold from 188m including 3m @ 25.54 g/t gold from 189m; and 2m @ 59.35 g/t gold from 204m 22PRC056
- 39m @ 6.05 g/t gold from 175m including 9m @ 10.66 g/t gold from 178m; and 3m @ 29.4 g/t gold from 202m 22PRC053
Drilling will be completed by late August; assays will be reported progressively from mid-August.
The project’s Mineral Resource Estimate is developing; this drilling program aims to enhance the Paris resource.

Torque’s Managing Director, Cristian Moreno commented:

A 9,000-metre diamond and reverse circulation drilling campaign has commenced at Torque’s flagship Paris Gold Project. Paris potentially hosts multiple deposits within a larger mineralised system, currently spanning 2.5 km by 1 km and remaining open in all directions.

Paris exhibits the characteristics of a robust gold project, as it lies on a major geological fault, Boulder-Lefroy fault, which hosts some world-class deposits such as St. Ives Gold Mine and Northern Star’s Super Pit. This potential is reinforced by strong gold intercepts, including 35 metres at 14.12 g/t gold from 157.85 metres, 41 metres at 5.93 g/t gold from 188 metres, 16 metres at 4.19 g/t gold from 66 metres, among other intersections, along with impressive gold recoveries exceeding 96%.

Torque appreciates our existing shareholders support, welcomes new investors and looks forward to delivering assay results to the market in several tranches and Torque’s Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.
