Torr Metals (TMET) has staked an additional 218 square kilometres of mineral claims around the Latham Copper-Gold Project.
The Latham Property covers a 689 square kilometre area in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia.
The new deposits, together with Galore Creek, Schaft Creek, and Gnat Pass deposits, constitute a 160-kilometre corridor of copper-gold deposits.
Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO, commented,
“With a 218 square kilometre expansion we continue to add new highly prospective exploration targets as well as increase the project’s footprint and exploration upside with the potential for new discoveries as we go forward.”
Within the newly acquired southern portion of the Pallen trend are the historically underexplored Disco, Moly, and Stikine occurrences. The deposits have an inferred proximity to an advanced zone which provides pathfinders necessary to aid in identifying towards the core of an additional porphyry system.
The Hu trend has also been extended to a 37-kilometre length. Most of the historic work along the Hu trend focused on an intrusion where the alteration is consistent with a porphyry mineralizing system associated with copper sulphide mineralization.
Torr is compiling historic data to form a basis for advancing the known occurrences along with the Hu and Pallen trends, as well as identifying potential new targets for exploration in 2022.
Torr Metals Inc. (TMET) is unchanged trading at $0.30 per share as of 3:42 p.m. EST.
