[{"type":"text","content":"Battery Mineral Resources Drills High Grade Copper Intercepts from the Cinabrio Mine at Its Punitaqui Copper Complex in ChileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2024) - 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 new 2024 underground exploration and in-fill drill program at the Punitaqui mine complex (\"Punitaqui\") in Chile.HighlightsAssay results from drillholes (see Table 1) have returned with encouraging results as follows:Drillhole CM-24-11: 18.3 meters (\"m\") grading 2.6 percent (\"%\") copper total (\"CuT\") and 11 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") silver (\"Ag\") including 14.9m at 3.1% CuT & 13g/t Ag drilled as an infill hole delineated the extent of the mineralization intercepted in historic drillholes CM-0-19-05 and CM-0-19-07 CM-24-12: 6.4m grading 0.9% CuT and 5g/t Ag drilled as an extensional hole defined the northern strike extent of the planned extraction areaCM-24-13: 23.1m at 2.0% CuT & 14g/t Ag drilled as an infill hole confirmed the extent of the mineralization intercepted in historic drillholes CM-0-19-05 and CM-0-19-07 CM-24-14: 1.5m at 0.6% CuT & 1g/t Ag and 2.9m at 0.5% CuT & 14g/t Ag drilled as an extensional hole confirmed the southern strike extent of the planned extraction areaThe 2024 Cinabrio drill program is designed to confirm resources identified by previous drilling programs and expand these resources along strike and at depth. All holes reached target depth and have intersected the targeted shale-mudstone horizon that hosts the copper mineralization.This phase of Cinabrio underground drilling targeted the Level 160 scheduled production area where 4 drillholes totaling 173.6 meters of diamond core drilling were completed (see Table 2 and Figure 1). The four holes were designed to confirm the modelled geology, mineralization and probe the contact zone between the lower mineralized shale unit and the underlying andesites within and adjacent to the planned extraction area (CM-24-11, CM-24-12. CM-24-13 and CM-24-14). This drilling confirmed copper grades and better delineated the extent of the mineralization in the lower shale unit and footwall andesite within and adjacent to the planned extraction area. These drill results have been added ...
