[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Core Assets Corp., (\"Core Assets\" or the \"Company\") (CSE:CC) (FSE:5RJ) (OTC.QB:CCOOF) is pleased to present an exploration update that includes visual results from diamond drill core collected from the Sulphide City Porphyry-Skarn Target and Whaleback Skarn Showing at the Silver Lime CRD-Porphyry Project (the \"Silver Lime Project\" or \"Silver Lime\"), central Blue Property (the \"Blue Property\"), Atlin Mining District of NW British Columbia. HIGHLIGHTS 2,014 metres of diamond drilling (HQ/NQ) has been completed across three (3) locations at the Silver Lime Project in 2024 (Table 2, Figure 3). Drill holes SLM24-060 through 062 were planned to test the near surface and high-grade Zinc Skarn Showing at the Sulphide City - Whaleback Target (See News Release dated February 14, 2022). In 2021, channel sampling was completed over 4 locations along a north-northwest trend at Whaleback and returned 5.3 metres of 10.2% Zn, 0.29% Cu. 14g/t Ag. (CH21-02: Table 1): SLM24-060: Intersected multiple zones of massive sulphide skarn mineralization, totalling 11.6m combined length, from surface to approximately 39 metres depth and ended in endoskarn-style alteration (Figure 2). SLM24-061: Intersected 11.8m of continuous sphalerite-rich (Zn) massive sulphide exoskarn mineralization with chalcopyrite (Cu) and galena (Pb/Ag) from surface (Figure 1). SLM24-062: Obliquely intersected approximately 0.5m of massive sulphide skarn mineralization as well as an intense fault zone interpreted as the feeder structure to the Whaleback Skarn system (Figure 2). Figure 1: A photograph of the continuous 11.8-metre interval of massive sulphide (sphalerite-pyrrhotite-pyrite+/-chalcopyrite-galena-rich) skarn mineralization in Sulphide City-Whaleback hole SLM24-061. SLM24-057: Designed to test the Sulphide City Porphyry, immediately north of the 2022 collar location. The hole encountered disseminated to locally semi-massive sphalerite-chalcopyrite-galena-bearing skarn alteration from surface to approximately 450 metres depth - marking the contact between surrounding metasedimentary country rock and the Sulphide City Mo-Cu-Porphyry (Figure 2). Hole 057 was the first hole completed this season and deviated from the intended drilling direction due to intense faulting and repetitive differences in rock competency withi...
