Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE:
P2QM) (“Eloro”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
assay results from eight (8) additional diamond drill holes from
its on-going drilling program at the Iska Iska silver-tin
polymetallic project in the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia.
Six of these holes (DSB-35 and DSB-37 to DSB-41) tested the
south-southeastern extension of the high-grade feeder zone at Santa
Barbara while METSBUG-03 is a metallurgical hole drilled from the
Santa Barbara adit underground drill bay. Hole DM2-01 is a
reconnaissance drill hole near the Mina 2 adit in the southeast
part of the property.
To-date, the Company has completed
84,495m in 122 drill holes at
Iska Iska which completes the definition drill program in the Santa
Barbara target area as shown in Figure 1. Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
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 6 summarizes drill holes
completed with assays pending.
Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro, said: “Now that the
reconnaissance drill holes just released, DSB-38, -39 and -40, are
adding a further 500 meters of mineralized strike length, these
latest results should add substantial tonnage to our resource
model. Infill drilling at a later date should further upgrade and
expand the higher metal value zonations that have become
characteristic of the Iska Iska system.”
“Given the guidance of our geophysics, if one
were to draw a line from Huayra Kasa in the north of the Iska Iska
Caldera southwest to Mina Casiterita one can reasonably assume up
to a 3 kilometre potential strike length of mineralization given
the magnetic data to date,” added Mr. Larsen. “The current strike
length, width and depth of the Santa Barbara complex, which is
still open in all directions, is pointing to the strong possibility
that Iska Iska will become a giant “bonanza style” Bolivian
polymetallic discovery.”
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Eloro’s Executive Vice
President, Exploration commented: “We continue to obtain promising
results from our drilling on the High-Grade Feeder Zone at Santa
Barbara. The on-strike extension of this zone to the
south-southeast is now confirmed for an additional 500m for a total
strike length of 1,500m. Geophysical data indicates potential for a
further 500m strike length to 2,000m which has been initially
tested by the final drill holes in our 2022 program for which
results are pending. The width of the Santa Barbara mineralized
zone is now up to 1,000m across strike with a depth of at least
800m. The mineralized zone remains open in ALL directions as well
as at depth. With completion of our planned drilling program, we
are now focussed on working with Micon International to complete
the inaugural mineral resource estimate.”
Santa Barbara High Grade Feeder Zone
Extension Definition Drilling
Six holes (DSB-35, DSB-37 to DSB-41) tested the
south-southeastern extension of the high-grade feeder zone at Santa
Barbara.
Holes DSB-38, DSB-39 and DSB-40 were drilled on
an approximately 1km long section across the central part of the
caldera valley approximately 500m south-southeast of the
underground drill bay in the Santa Barbara adit as shown in Figure
1. The three holes were all drilled at an azimuth of 2250 with a
dip of -600. Collectively, these holes intersected many significant
intersections within altered and mineralized dacite including:

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.

since the start of the program on September 20, 2020 to the
completion of the Santa Barbara definition drill program on
November 27, 2022 is 84,495m in 122 drill
holes (32 underground drill holes and 90 surface drill
holes).
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.
On November 22, 2022, Eloro announced the
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.
Following the acquisition, 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.
Drilling is planned on Mina Casiterita in Q1
2023 with geological mapping, sampling and geophysical surveys now
in progress on the full land package across the Iska Iska
region.
