(TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (\"Battery\" or \"BMR\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce encouraging drill core assay results from the 2021 exploration and in-fill drill program at the Punitaqui mine complex (\"Punitaqui\") in Chile. Punitaqui is slated for resumption of production mid to late-2022. The San Andres target is one of several historic zones within BMR's Punitaqui project with partially delineated resources and established underground access.HighlightsFinal assay results from San Andres drillholes SAS-21-14, 15, 17, 20, 23 and 24 (see Table 1) have been returned with encouraging results as follows:Drillhole SAS-21-14: 28.1 meters (\"m\") at 0.98% Copper (\"Cu\") from 203m downhole including 10.1m at 1.44% Cu and a second intercept of 9.4m grading 1.24% Cu from 227m. Drillhole SAS-21-15: 3.0m at 0.5% Cu from 116m, 3.0m grading 0.48% Cu from 133m and a third interval of 2.0m at 0.51% Cu from 139m.Drillhole SAS-21-17: 3.6m at 1.04% Cu from 241m. Drillhole SAS-21-20: 2.4m at 0.70% Cu from 266.9m.Drillhole SAS-21-23: 2.8m at 1.00% Cu from 194m.Drillhole SAS-21-24: 3.0m at 0.82% Cu from 231m. Final complete multi-element results were received for previously reported holes SAS-21-19, and 21 (see Table 1):Drillhole SAS-21-19: 5.0m at 1.08% Cu from 74m including 4.0m at 1.24% Cu.Drillhole SAS-21-21: 25.0m at 0.88% Cu from 106m including 13.0m at 0.96% Cu and 4.0m at 1.19% Cu from 115m and a second main intercept of 2.0m at 1.12% Cu from 136m.29 of the San Andres drill holes reached target depth and 21 have intersected significant mineralization and results have been received for 24 drill holes.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-21-01: 3.0m grading 1.52% Cu.SAS-21-03: 11.0m at 1.39% Cu including 8.0m at 1.63% Cu. SAS-21-04: 16.7m grading 1.37% Cu including 11.7m at 1.64% Cu and a second interval of 9.0m at 1.75% Cu. SAS-21-05: 9.0m at 2.06% Cu. SAS-21-07: 3.4m at 2.10% Cu and a second interval of 4.0m at 1.56% Cu.SAS-21-08: 5.3m at ...
