White Metal (WHM) has collected grab samples exposing 35.2 per cent Cu and 548 g/t Ag southwest of the Okohongo Deposit in Namibia.

The company is prospecting, mapping and sampling a copper horizon extending 7+ km north of the deposit, as well as showings and occurrences extending up to 14 km south.

White Metal collected a total of 37 rock grab samples during recent geological mapping and prospecting. Additional highlights include 7.40 per cent Cu and 833 g/t Ag, 11.35 per cent Cu and 520 g/t Ag, and 14 per cent Cu and 463 g/t Ag.

The company also completed 10 east-west and northeast-trending trenches targeting the contact horizon between the Lower Omao Formation and Nosib Group, exposing sediment-hosted copper mineralization in 5 of the 10 trenches.

Rock grab sample highlights from these five trenches include: 3.57 per cent Cu and 170 g/t Ag, 3.13 per cent Cu and 89 g/t Ag, and 1.50 per cent Cu and 91 g/t Ag.

White Metal remains focused on developing drill targets along the prospective copper horizon.

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, stated,

“These results continue to impress, delivering very high copper and silver concentrations north and south of the Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit. Clearly, there is significant opportunity to expand the current deposit along strike, which at this stage of exploration shows potential along a prospective horizon of more than 20 kilometres.”

White Metal Resources is a junior exploration company exploring in Canada and southern Africa.

White Metal (WHM) is unchanged at $0.075 per share as of 9:33 am ET.
