[{"type":"text","content":"Quaterra Resources Announces Positive Assay Results at MacArthur Copper Project, Nevada and Potential for Resource ExpansionVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2021) - Quaterra Resources Inc. (TSXV: QTA) (OTCQB: QTRRF) (the \"Company\") today announced positive results from a ten-hole core drilling program totaling 5,147 feet (1,569 meters) that was recently completed. The ten-hole program was designed to assess the likelihood that further drilling would upgrade portions of the resource from Inferred to Indicated and expand the overall size of the current resource. Mr. Travis Naugle, CEO states, \"We believe that additional drilling could accomplish these exciting objectives.\" These results are further discussed below and outlined in Table 1 below.Three holes (QM-319, QM-320, and QM-328) were drilled on the north to northwestern edge of the current resource. Each hole intersected oxide and chalcocite mineralization. Significant intercepts include drill hole QM-320 (31.1 m @ 0.58% Cu, including 22.6 m @ 0.70% Cu); QM-328 (23.5 m @ 0.44% Cu); and QM-319 (10.8 m @ 0.14% Cu). Each drill hole contains additional acid soluble copper intercept (Table 1).Holes QM-326 and QM-327, drilled on the southern edge of the current oxide resource (Figure 1), each intersected near surface oxide mineralization. Significant intercepts include 6.7 m @ 0.27% Cu and 7.3 m @ 0.70% copper from QM-326 and QM-327, respectively. Both holes also indicate the potential for additional oxide resource expansion to the south and southeast (Figure 2).Drill holes QM-321 and QM-322 were drilled on the south/southeastern edge of the current oxide resource. Both drill holes intersected near surface oxide mineralization; QM-321 intersected 13.7 m @ 0.17% copper and QM-322 intersected 31.1 m @ 0.11% Cu. Both drill holes also indicate the potential for an additional oxide resource to the south. In addition, QM-322 was collared on a legacy MacArthur sub-grade stockpile, from which 12.3 m @ 0.13% copper was identified. The MacArthur sub-grade stockpile has not previously been sampled but based on these results, the Company may consider evaluating it for additional resource potential. It is expected that the above results could increase the resource (Figure 2) and upgrade a portion of the current resource from inferred to measured/indicated status. Th...
