[{"type":"text","content":"Battery Mineral Resources Announces Punitaqui Drilling Update Continues to Deliver Encouraging Copper ResultsVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2021) - Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (\"Battery\" or \"BMR\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce further encouraging drill core assay results from the on-going 2021 exploration and in-fill drill program at the Punitaqui mine complex (\"Punitaqui\") in Chile. Punitaqui is an advanced stage copper mining complex with recent production history. The Company is focused on bringing the mine back into production by mid to late 2022.HighlightsPartial assay results from drillholes SAS-21-11, 12, 13, 19, and 21 (see Table 1) have been returned with encouraging results as follows:Drillhole SAS-21-12: 7 meters (\"m\") at 1.81% Copper (\"Cu\") from 176m downhole and a second intercept of 2m grading 1.04% Cu from 162m downhole. Drillhole SAS-21-13: 3m at 1.96% Cu from 217m downhole, 3m grading 0.87% Cu from 199m and a third interval of 1.8m at 0.83% Cu from 211m downhole.Drillhole SAS-21-21: 13m at 0.96% Cu from 106m downhole and 4m grading 1.19% Cu from 115m downhole. Drillhole SAS-21-19: 3m at 1.50% Cu from 75m downhole.Drillhole SAS-21-11: 2m at 0.91% Cu from 53m downhole.Currently, four drills are operating on-site with two at San Andres.Sample results have been received for 17 drill holes. Samples for an additional five drill holes have been submitted to ALS for geochemical analysis and more are being prepared for shipment.The San Andres drill program is designed to confirm resources identified by previous drilling programs and expand these resources north and south along strike and at depth. Earlier results from the current program (see Table 2) included:SAS-21-07: 3.4m at 2.10% Cu and a second interval of 4m at 1.56% Cu.SAS-21-05: 9m at 2.06% Cu. SAS-21-03: 11m at 1.39% Cu including 8m at 1.63% Cu. SAS-21-08: 5.25m at 1.39% Cu and a second interval of 3.75m at 1.85% Cu.SAS-21-01: 3m grading 1.52% Cu.SAS-21-04: 16.7m grading 1.37% Cu including 11.7m at 1.64% Cu and a second interval of 9m at 1.75% Cu. The San Andres target is one of several historic zones within BMR's Punitaqui project with partially delineated resources and established underground access.San Andres is the \"normal\" fault displaced upper portion of the adjacent Cinabrio copper depos...
