[{"type":"text","content":"Battery Mineral Resources Announces Intercept of 48 Meters of 1.31% Cu From the Cinabrio Norte Target at Its Punitaqui Copper Mine in ChileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2022) - Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (\"Battery\" or \"BMR\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce encouraging drill core assay results from the recently completed Phase 1 2021-2022 exploration and infill diamond drill program focused on extensions of the Cinabrio orebody, the Dalmacia target and the San Andres target within the Punitaqui mine complex (\"Punitaqui\") in Chile. The Punitaqui mine is slated for resumption of mine operations in the second half of 2022. The Cinabrio Norte target represents a potential northern extension of the main Cinabrio mine orebody, which was historically the primary source of ore feed to the Punitaqui copper ore concentration plant for eight-plus years. These drill results continue to highlight the presence of strong copper mineralization and the significant vertical extent of the Cinabrio Norte target (see Figure 1). HighlightsAt Cinabrio Norte the Phase 1 drill program consisted of 53 diamond drill holes with a total of 13,731 meters (\"m\"). To date, the drilling has outlined a significant zone of high-grade mineralization in the northern portion of the target area and remains open at depth. The initial Phase 1 program of step-out holes was expanded from the planned 24 holes (for approximately 3,600m) to 53 holes to further test the down-dip extent of the copper (\"Cu\") mineralization ultimately reaching a depth of 350m below surface. The results of the North Zone at Cinabrio Norte include:CNN-22-30: 164m at 0.80% Cu including 48.0m at 1.31% Cu, 12.5m at 0.91% Cu and 19.4m at 1.15% CuCNN-22-40: 14m at 1.62% CuCNN-22-41: 9m at 1.15% CuCNN-22-19: 4.1m at 1.38% CuCNN-22-19A: 16.6m at 0.85% Cu including 5.4m at 1.16% CuResults from the South and Central Zones at Cinabrio Norte include:CNN-22-33: 14.9m at 1.79% Cu including 2.8m at 3.66% Cu CNN-22-25: 4m at 0.48% Cu including 18.9m at 1.23% CuCNN-22-26: 4m at 1.18% Cu CNN-22-29: 14m at 0.76% Cu including 5m at 1.01% CuCNN-22-32: 9m at 0.43% CuCNN-22-38: 4.3m at 1.09% Cu Battery CEO Martin Kostuik states; \"We are very pleased to report these encouraging results from Cinabrio Norte at our former producing Punitaqui copp...
