Torr Metals Inc. announced an additional 857 assay results from the 2023 soil sampling program on the 100% owned Kolos Project, situated along Highway 5, 23 kilometers (km) north-northeast of Merritt, British Columbia. The soil samples, totaling 1753 to date, cover an expanded area of 17.4 km2, revealing significant mineralized envelopes of greater than (> 200 parts per million copper (Cu) in the Kirby, Lodi, and Ace Zones. New expanded footprints to >200 ppm Cu soils include 3.6 km by 1.6 km at Lodi (476% increase), 1,350 metres (m) by 600 m at Kirby (56% increase), and 750 m by 300 m at Ace.

Moreover, the soil results unveil a vast area of anomalous Cu >100 ppm coinciding with gold (Au) >10 ppb, spanning 15.6 km2, showcasing a substantial mineralizing system with potential for extensions to the northeast and south-southwest. Highlights: Groundbreaking Copper-Gold Discovery: The latest soil samples, covering a 4 km by 3.5 km area, showcase impressive values; including 211 soil samples with copper values over 100 ppm and 50 samples surpassing 200 ppm up to 761 ppm. A total of 154 samples yielded >10 ppb Au with 61 samples exceeding 20 ppb, reaching a peak of 725 ppb.

Additionally, the promising surficial geochemical results indicate exciting potential for a significant multi-centred copper-gold porphyry discovery. The outstanding results of 2023 surficial exploration received to date has revealed promising zones to mineralization with expansive possibilities in all directions. The upcoming results for an additional 1,595 pending soil samples aims to better define and potentially extend mineralization zones for three northern historical mineral occurrences (Helmer, Rea, and Clapperton) within a strategically selected 48 km2 area.

Simultaneously, results for 47 pending rock grab samples could enhance potential new discoveries within the Kolos Project, highlighting the untapped opportunities within the Project's boundaries. Prime Positioning for Success: Strategically located with highway accessibility and having never been drill tested, the Kolos Project resides within a significant porphyry belt in British Columbia. Surrounded by major deposits and long-life mines linked to comparable Late Triassic calc-alkaline and alkaline intrusions, including Highland Valley (30 km northwest), New Afton (30 km north), Copper Mountain (106 km south), and Mount Polley; Kolos stands as a potential game-changer for the region.

Significant Exploration Upside and District-Scale Potential: The Kolos Project boasts six copper-gold-molybdenum occurrences (Lodi, Kirby, Ace, Rea, Helmer, and Clapperton) extending across a 6.5 km trend with limited outcrop. The 2023 surficial exploration program has detected extensive zones of Cu-Au mineralization coinciding with highly magnetic anomalies, mirroring neighboring alkalic porphyry deposits. Ongoing interpretation will scrutinize geochemical pathfinder elements associated with epithermal-porphyry deposits, complemented by the ZTEM survey, paving the way for future drill targeting.
