[{"type":"text","content":"Dalmacia Drilling Delivers Encouraging Initial Copper Results at Battery Mineral Resources Punitaqui MineVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2021) - 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 2021 exploration and in-fill drill program at the Punitaqui mine complex (\"Punitaqui\") in Chile. Punitaqui is slated for resumption of copper concentrate production in mid to late-2022. The Dalmacia Target is second of several historic zones within BMR's Punitaqui project with partially delineated resources and established underground access. Dalmacia is located in the southern portion of the Punitaqui area about 6 kilometers south of the Punitaqui copper processing plant.HighlightsComplete final assay results from two Dalmacia drillholes (DS-21-01 and DS-21-02 see Table 1) have been returned with encouraging results as follows:Drillhole DS-21-O1: 12 meters (\"m\") grading 1.79% copper (\"Cu\") and 2.5g/t silver (\"Ag\") including 8m at 2.44% Cu, 3.2g/t Ag and 0.04g/t gold (\"Au\")23m grading 1.16% Cu and 1.7g/t Ag including 13m at 1.56% Cu and 2.1g/t Ag and including 7m at 2.32% Cu, 3.1g/t Ag and 0.04g/t Au 2m at 1.06% Cu, 0.7g/t Ag and 0.03g/t Au 4m at 0.89% Cu and 0.4g/t Ag 4.9m at 0.72% Cu and 0.6g/t Ag Drillhole DS-21-02:7m grading 1.67% Cu, 2.6g/t Ag and 0.08g/t Au10m at 1.03% Cu and 2.1g/t Ag including 3m at 1.49% Cu and 2.3g/t Ag 2m at 2.34% Cu and 5g/t Ag7m at 2.58% Cu and 2.7g/t Ag11m at 1.08% Cu, 0.9g/t Ag and 0.08g/t Au including 4.0m at 2.32% Cu, 1.4g/t Ag and 0.17g/t Au and including 3.0m at 2.90% Cu, 1.7g/t Ag and 0.22g/t Au. Thirteen holes completed at Dalmacia have reached target depth and all holes have intersected significant visible copper mineralization.The Dalmacia drill program is designed to confirm mineralized zones identified by previous drilling programs and expand these mineralized zones north and south along strike and at also depth. Earlier results from historic exploration drilling programs include:DS-11-02: 17.9m at 1.34% Cu and 28.5m at 1.60% Cu DS-12-08: 9.7m at 1.39% CuDS-12-12: 10.3m at 1.48% CuDS-12-20: 7.5m at 1.76% Cu and 21m at 1.09% CuDS-13-05: 9.0m at 1.62% Cu and 13.5m at 1.77% CuDS-14-07: 27m at 1.62% CuDS-14-12: 20m at 1.52% CuDS-14-13: 26m at ...
