EMERGING HIGH-GRADE GOLD ZONE

ADJACENT TO PARIS PIT

Highlights

  • Drilling adjacent to the Paris pit returns high-grade mineralised zone of:
    • 3m @ 11.6 g/t Au from 159m downhole, within
    • 9m @ 4.6 g/t Au from 159m, within
    • 21m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 159m in drill hole 22PRC034
  • Confirms a continuous high-grade gold zone, which remains open to the west
    of the recent discovery of 24m @ 10.7 g/t Au from 141m including 6m @ 34.6 g/t Au from 141m (21PRC0251)
  • Follow-updrilling is planned to further expand the new gold mineralised zone as a new exploration front opens up to the west of the Paris pit
  • Phase 3 follow-up drilling continues at the Caruso, Observation, HHH, and Paris South prospects

Torque Executive Chairman Mr Ian Finch said:

"This is yet another great result to add to the long list of captivating results we have unearthed at the Paris Project in only a short timeframe.

Importantly, the result demonstrates a continuous mineralised zone open to the west of high- grade discovery. These are truly spectacular grades to encounter at reasonably shallow depths, near existing mines owned by Torque, and in the heart of the WA goldfields. Withresults like these, it is clear we have something special on our hands at Paris.

We are now planning follow-up drilling to test the new mineralised zone which is consistent with our aim to keep increasing the size of the gold resource at the Paris Project by tracking the higher-grade zones. I look forward to further updating you as we continue to take a substantial leap forward within this world-class gold province."

Perth-based, Western Australian-focused gold explorer Torque Metals Limited ("Torque" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from follow-up drilling have demonstrated a continuous mineralised zone adjacent to the Paris pit at the Company's wholly-owned Paris Project, located on the richly gold endowed Boulder-Lefroy Fault Zone, south east of Kalgoorlie.

This recent drilling 120m west of the existing Paris open pit area has confirmed 21m @ 2.33 g/t Au from 159m including 3m @ 11.6 g/t Au from 159m in drill hole 22PRC034 (See Figure 1 & 2).

The result demonstrates a continuous mineralised zone exists to the west of the high-grade discovery in 21PRC025 of 24m @10.7 g/t Au from 141m including 6m @ 34.6 g/t Au from 141m.Together the results of the above two mentioned drill holes suggest the Paris pit may extend for up to 120m west, and still remains open.

This opens up an exploration front with Torque already planning follow-up drilling of this zone as soon as practicable.

Table 1:22PRC034 drill hole summary

Torque is currently undertaking the Phase 3 RC drilling program, consisting of up to 5,000 metres, to follow-up the first and second phase drilling which resulted in several new gold discoveries adjacent to existing open pits at Paris and HHH, as well as additional drilling at the Observation, Strauss and Caruso prospects.2

So far, 11 holes for 1,648 metres have been drilled across these prospects as part of the Phase 3 campaign.

The Paris Project

Torque's Paris Project lies within the area known as the Boulder-Lefroy Fault Zone (Figure 3). This prolific gold-bearing structure is host to numerous mines that have produced many millions of ounces of gold. Not least of these mines is the world famous "Super Pit" in Kalgoorlie. Torque's Paris Project area remains vastly underexplored, with past drilling generally restricted to the top 50 metres, highlighting significant opportunities for discovery of gold mineralisation by the application of modern-day exploration techniques and the undertaking of more extensive, and deeper, drilling.

Torque has already undertaken a two drilling campaigns at Paris with the objective of better defining the zones most likely to rapidly increase the project's gold resource base.
