White Metal Expands the Ellen Zone with Step-Out Drilling Returning 3.68 g/t Au over 10.5 m, Including 19.9 g/t over 1.5 m, Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario
24 August 2021 - 2:00PM
White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (FRA: CGK1)
(OTCMKTS: TNMLF) (“White Metal” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has received the assay results from the
first three diamond drill holes from the Phase 2 drilling program
on its Flagship Tower Stock Gold Project (the “Project” or
“Property”). The three holes were designed to test both the strike
and down-dip extension of gold mineralization at the Ellen Zone, a
new discovery made in the Phase 1 diamond drilling program that
intersected 1.7 g/t Au over 82.5 m (from 10 m), including 3.0 g/t
Au over 45 m (from 10 m) in drill hole TM-21-94 (see White Metal
news release dated April 20, 2021).
A summary of results from the higher-grade gold
intersections for the first three holes from Phase 2 is provided in
Table 1. Hole TM-21-100, drilled 25 m northwest of TM-21-94,
confirmed the northwest strike-extension of the Ellen Zone,
returning anomalous to high-grade gold between 23 m and 113 m that
range from 77 ppb to 19,900 ppb Au (60 samples). The weighted
average of this 90 m interval is 1.23 g/t Au, including 3.68 g/t Au
over 10.5 m (from 23 m).
Michael Stares, President and CEO of White
Metal, commented, “Again, we have shown that the Tower Stock Gold
Property has great potential to host a significant gold deposit. We
are pleased to announce that because of these new positive assay
results, we will extend the current drilling program to further
test the Ellen Zone along strike to the northwest. We also look
forward to reporting the results of all drill hole assays as they
become available. The Tower Stock Gold Property is unique because
of its location, great infrastructure and excellent geology that
delivered exceptional gold grades over wide intervals.”

azimuth 045 and -50 degrees dip.
Hole TM-21-98, drilled 20 m southwest of and on
section with TM-21-94, confirmed the down-dip extension of the
Ellen Zone, returning anomalous to high-grade gold between 72.5 m
and 107 m that range from 61 ppb to 5,800 ppb Au (23 samples). The
weighted average of this 34.5 m interval is 1.11 g/t Au, including
2.01 g/t Au over 9 m (from 86 m).
Hole TM-21-99, drilled 25 m to the southeast of
TM-21-94, was designed to test the southeast strike-extension of
the Ellen Zone but returned minor gold mineralization ranging from
6 ppb to 1,300 ppb Au in 129 samples.

Ellen Zone gold mineralization is hosted within
sub-greenschist, chlorite-altered metavolcanic rocks and is
associated with secondary semi-pervasive and intense sericite +
pyrite (phyllic) alteration with locally-developed hydrothermal
brecciation. Due to the excellent results from the Ellen Zone, the
drilling program will now be extended to further test the down-dip
and strike potential of the Ellen Zone.
The Tower Stock Property is located
approximately 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay,
Ontario and covers approximately 1,968 hectares. A more detailed
description of the Project and the latest diamond drilling and
exploration programs can be viewed on the Company’s website
(https://www.whitemetalres.com/tower-stock-au.html).
The Company has completed a total of 2,285.5
metres of the 3,000-metre Phase 2 drilling program on
four different zones. To date, 11 drill holes have been
completed and samples from the first 10 holes have been submitted
to Activation Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Sample AnalysisHalf core
samples and Company QA/QC standards and blanks were submitted for
analysis by Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Thunder Bay,
Ontario. Samples were transported under the direct supervision of
senior White Metal personnel and delivered from the Property to the
laboratory receiving facilities. Samples were analyzed for Au by
Fire Assay with an AA finish and Au – Fire Assay with
Gravimetric finish. Actlabs is an independent commercial laboratory
that is ISO 9001 certified and ISO 17025 accredited.
