TORONTO, Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denarius Metals Corp. (“Denarius” or “the Company”) (TSXV: DSLV; OTCQB: DNRSF) announced today that it has filed a technical report for its 100% owned Lomero-Poyatos Project (the “Technical Report”) pursuant to National Instrument 43‐101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The Lomero-Poyatos Project is a polymetallic deposit located on the Spanish side of the prolific copper rich Iberian Pyrite Belt, one of the largest districts of pyrite-rich massive sulfide deposits in the world. The Technical Report, which supports the disclosure made by the Company in its September 19, 2022 news release, was prepared by SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. (“SRK”) and is based on an initial Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”) for the Lomero-Poyatos Project with an effective date of July 19, 2022 comprising 10.66 Mt of 0.45% copper, 1.02% zinc, 0.41% lead, 2.0 g/t gold and 21 g/t silver.
The initial MRE has been prepared at the conclusion of the Phase 1 surface drilling program, incorporating assay information from 71 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 21,505 meters, carried out by the Company between October 2021 and July 2022. Additional information has been integrated into the model from geological mapping and data capture of historical level maps and mining depletion. The initial MRE reflects the early-stage results from the Company’s validation and infill drilling program coupled with resource expansion drilling below the historical drilling. This program has enabled the Company to confirm the presence of the expected polymetallic mineralization at the Lomero-Poyatos Project and to increase its geological knowledge to a sufficient level to declare this initial Mineral Resource for the Lomero-Poyatos Project.
The Company has recently commenced its Phase 2 exploration drilling program at the Lomero-Poyatos Project as it continues to validate certain historical drilling, which has been excluded from the initial MRE, together with further infill and step out drilling around the Mineral Resources presented in the Technical Report. An updated MRE and a scoping study are expected to be prepared following the completion of the Phase 2 exploration program in early 2023.
Qualified Persons Review
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Ben Parsons, Principal Consultant (Resource Geology) with SRK, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
