White Metal Samples 35.2% Cu and 548 g/t Ag in Rock Grab Samples from the Prospective Okangura Area Southwest of the Okohongo Copper-Silver Deposit, Namibia
22 Juli 2021 - 2:00PM
White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM)
(
FRA: CGK1) (
OTCMKTS: TNMLF)
(“White Metal” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update
regarding its exploration program north and south along strike from
the Okohongo copper-silver Deposit (see Company news release dated
29 June 2021).
The Company is continuing its prospecting,
geological mapping, grab sampling, and surface trenching and
sampling programs along the prospective +7 km sedimentary-hosted
copper horizon, which extends northward from the Okohongo Cu-Ag
Deposit (the ”Okohongo Area”), and an examination of previously
identified showings and occurrences up to 14 km south of the
Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit. The target prospective horizon,
colloquially known as the “Okohongo Horizon”, occurs within the
Lower Omao Formation (limestone, siltstone, dolomite), which is
stratigraphically above the Nosib Group (sandstone, shale,
conglomerate).
Michael Stares, President & 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. Although White Metal remains focussed on
progressing its flagship project, the Tower Stock Gold Project in
Ontario, Canada, the Company will continue to advance the Okohongo
Copper-Silver Project as one of our primary assets.”
A total of 37 rock grab samples were collected
from target areas within north and south of the Okohongo Area
during the most recent geological mapping and prospecting (Table
1). The Epunguwe and Epunguwe South Target Area (“Epunguwe”) is
located about 4.3 km north of the Okohongo and covers a minimum
strike length of 300 metres. The Okohongo West, Northeast, North
and Okohongo samples are from the areas immediately around and
within the Okohongo Area. The Okangura North, Okangura, and
Okangura South area is located about 2.1 km southwest of the
Okohongo and covers a minimum strike length of about 1 kilometre.
The Okahwa area is located about 14 km south of Okohongo and covers
a minimum strike length of about 250 metres.

Deposit.

The Company also completed 10 approximately
east-west and northeast-trending trenches (EPT001 to EPT010)
targeting the contact horizon between the Lower Omao Formation
(east) and Nosib Group (west), exposing sediment-hosted copper
mineralization in five of the 10 trenches. A total of 28 composite
rock grab samples from the five trenches that showed prominent
copper mineralization were submitted for analysis. Results are
shown in Table 2.

The Company will continue to explore the Project
area with further prospecting, geological mapping, sampling and
trenching, looking toward developing future drill targets along the
prospective copper horizon. To the Company’s knowledge, no work has
been completed in any areas outside of the Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit
since 2012.
