[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Turmalina Metals Corp. (“Turmalina”, or the “Company”; TBX-TSXV, TBXXF-OTCQX, 3RI-FSE) is pleased to report additional drilling results at the Chanape project (“Chanape” or the “Project”), located 87km east of Lima, Peru. Drilling has continued to intersect extensive gold-silver mineralisation in the first breccias tested by the Company. This release summarizes the second batch of results from the program covering 4 holes and 704.8 m of drilling. See press release of 15th November for the results of the initial 4 holes (1003.7m). Selected intercepts from this second batch of results includes: Breccia Clint: 48.05m @ 1.67 % Cu, 0.9 g/t Au & 178 g/t Ag (3.8% CuEq); CHT-DDH-041 from 165.7m. Including 2.2m @ 10.8 % Cu, 0.7 g/t Au & 3,349 g/t Ag (40% CuEq) from 165.7m. Including 20.4m @ 2.2 % Cu, 1.0 g/t Au & 47 g/t Ag (3.3% CuEq) from 192.19m. 14.39m @ 2.2 % Cu, 0.98 g/t Au & 56 g/t Ag (3.3% CuEq); CHT-DDH-041 from 222.27m. Veta Colorada: 1.8m @ 2.35 g/t Au, 11 g/t Ag & 0.18 % Cu (2.7 g/t EqAu); CHT-DDH-040 from 77.67m The Chanape project is characterised by multiple tourmaline gold-silver-copper (Au-Ag-Cu) breccia pipes, with over fifty identified to date. Initial results for Breccia 8, Breccias 10 & 11 and the San Antonio Breccia were reported on 15th November. Results are now available for hole CHT-DDH-041, at Breccia Clint, and holes CHT-DDH-038, 039 and 040, at Veta Colorada. Drill hole CHT-DDH-041 tested the extent of shallow Au-Ag-Cu mineralisation at the Breccia Clint tourmaline breccia, which does not outcrop, and confirmed gold, silver and copper mineralisation, including zones with very high silver and copper grades. Drill holes CHT-DDH-038, CHT-DDH-039 and CHT-DDH-040 tested the Colorada quartz vein at depths of 40 to 70m below high-grade gold observed on surface and confirmed the continuity of the vein at depth (Figures 1 to 4). The Au-Ag-Cu results continue to indicate strong potential for high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization at the Chanape cluster of breccias. The current drill program has been completed with a total of 2257.7m, with results pending for the last two holes. Drilling will be resumed after the raining season, which lasts from December to the end of March. Mr James Rogers, Chief Executive Officer, states: “Havi...
