White Metal Completes Initial Three Drill Holes on Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario
July 21 2021 - 7:00AM
White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM)
(
FRA: CGK1) (
OTCMKTS: TNMLF)
(“White Metal” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
completed the first three diamond drill holes totaling 597 metres,
of the total 3,000 metre program that is planned on the Tower Stock
Gold Project (the “Project” or “Property”). The Project is located
about 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario
and covers approximately 1,968 hectares.
The Company optioned the Tower Stock Project
from a local Thunder Bay prospector (see NR dated June 25, 2020)
and to date has completed a total of 3,083 metres of drilling on
the Property. During last winter’s Phase 1 diamond drilling program
and DASVISION IP survey, the company made several key
advancements on the Property, including:
- Ellen Zone - TM-21-94 was the first
hole drilled at this target returning significant widths of gold
mineralization resulting in an important new gold discovery. Hosted
in volcanic host rocks, gold is associated with hydrothermal
brecciation and sericite-chlorite-calcite-pyrite alteration and
this intersection suggesting a connection between the U-V Zone in
the northwest to the Bench Zone in the southeast (see NR dated
April 20 2021)
- Bench Zone – TM-21-97 was
successful at extending the southwest down-dip extension of the
Bench Zone returning two wide board intervals of gold
mineralization. Gold mineralization is hosted within
calcite-sericite-chlorite-pyrite altered volcanics and feldspar
porphyry. These results show that the Bench Zone is open for
expansion down-dip and along strike. (see NR dated April 20
2021)
The Current drilling
program is focused on a combination of high priority targets
including:
- Additional drilling on the Ellen
Zone, both to the northwest and to the southeast.
- Infill drilling at the Bench Zone
in areas of gold mineralization with widely spaced drilling from
previous operators, ValGold.
- Drill testing some high priority
DASVISION IP Targets that have been interpreted by a third party
geophysical consultant.

A summary of the
three holes completed to date at the Ellen Zone includes:
- TM-21-98: drilled 20 metres to the
southwest of TM-21-94 at 45Az and -50 dip and returned same/similar
lithologies and similar hydrothermal sericitic-chlorite-pyrite
alteration that hosts gold mineralization in hole TM-21-94.
- TM-21-99: drilled 25 metres to the
northwest of TM-21-94 at 45Az and -50 dip and also intersected the
same/similar lithologies and hydrothermal sericitic-chlorite-pyrite
alteration, as described above in holes TM-21-94 and TM-21-98. Of
possible significance is the presence of microsyenite and feldspar
porphyry dykes which are known to have a strong association to
gold.
- TM-21-100: drilled 25 metres to the
southeast of TM-21-94 at 45Az and -50 dip. This hole also returned
intercepts of similar lithologies and alteration as noted above,
but unlike holes TM-21-94, TM-21-98, and TM-21-99 drill hole
TM-21-100 intersected significant widths of coarse hydrothermal
brecciation up to 8 metres wide., with sericite-chlorite altered
black matrix, and 12 metres of very intense sericitic alteration
with disseminated fuchsite.
Note that pyrite
mineralization occurs over the entire length of all three
holes.
The Company is also
planning to drill a number of the other zones including:
- T Zone: a WNW trending target
defined from two 200 metre spaced ValGold holes that returned
significant widths of gold mineralization but not drill tested
between the two holes; and
- S Zone: to extend historical drill
hole TM-04-30 which ended with 1.22 g/t Au over 4.5 metres.
Michael Stares, President and CEO of White
Metal, commented, “I am very pleased to have completed the four
holes on the Tower Stock property to date and look forward to
completing the 3,000 metre planned drill program. The new core to
date, especially on the Ellen Zone, looks very similar to the
Original Ellen Zone hole discovery in TM-21-94. The new zone of
alteration in hole TM-21-100 looks very encouraging and we are
anxiously waiting for the assays from the lab to determine if the
new zones will be comparable to the original Ellen Zone Discovery.
We will also be testing some high priority 3D IP geophysical
targets, reviewed and targeted by a third party, as we are
interested in determining the source of these anomalies. I am also
excited to start testing some of the historical drill holes on the
Bench Zone that have not been previously followed up on.”
