Turmalina Metals Corp. announced the commencement of drilling at the Company's Chanape Project (the ‘Project'), located 87km east-northeast of Lima, Peru (140 kilometres via roads). Chanape contains multiple high-grade tourmaline gold-silver-copper (Au-Ag-Cu) breccia pipes.

The initial drill phase of 8 to 10 drill holes will test three of thirty breccia zones identified to date. These breccias, and associated mineralized veins, are interpreted to have been sourced from an underlying porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver-gold (Cu-Mo-Ag-Au) system. In addition to exploring the tourmaline breccia targets, Turmalina will evaluate the deeper porphyry potential of the project.

Previous exploration at the project has already defined multiple high-grade targets and the recently filed independent technical report highlights the outstanding exploration potential of the project. The project is a large system with high-grade Au-Ag-Cu breccia and vein targets and the potential to host significant porphyry Cu-Mo-Au-Ag mineralization.
