(CSE:NOM), (CNSX:NOM.CN), (OTC:NRRSF), (FWB:LXZ1) (the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on previous drilling highlights and exploration work completed on the Choquelimpie gold-silver project. The Choquelimpie Project is a past producing, district scale, project covering an area of 5,757 ha. The project is located 185 km east of the city of Arica at an elevation 4,600 meters to 4,900 meters in the Arica-Parinacota Region in northern Chile. The existing database of historical drilling is extensive and includes over 123,000m of drilling in 76 diamond core holes, 1657 reverse circulation holes, and 147 blastholes. These holes include dense drilling (<20-meter spacing) in the areas of identified mineralization and potential resources, plus broader exploration drilling in multiple targets within the district. Revision of this extensive database and the existing drill materials is currently underway. The average historical drilling depth of only 80 meters. Historical Drilling Highlights at Choque Pit include: DH 12: 2m of 18.963 g/t Au, 163 g/t Ag, 0.8% CU DH 550: 4m of 5.7 g/t Au, 980 g/t Ag DH877: 4m of 7.35 g/t Au, 223.5 g/t Ag DH917: 8m of 7 g/t Au, 26 g/t Ag, 0.45% Cu DH1005: 4m of 3.25 g/t Au, 145 g/t Ag, 2.7% Cu DH939: 14m of 8.2 g/t Au, 2 g/t Ag DH109: 20m of 6.7 g/t Au, 5 g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu Historical Drilling Highlights at Suri Pit include: DH977: 2m of 340 g/t Au, 127 g/t Ag, 4% Cu DH967: 2m of 13 g/t Au, 62 g/t Ag, 0.5% Cu DH101: 8m of 30.8 g/t Au, 1,695 g/t Ag DH967: 6m of 7 g/t Au, 164 g/t Ag, 3.9% Cu DH342: 6m of 9.66 g/t Au, 7.6 g/t Ag DH965: 10m of 23.6 g/t Ag, 55.6 g/t Ag, 1.35% Cu DH971: 16m of 7.24 g/t Au, 21.3 g/t Ag There are 5 open pits from the mining effort of 1990-1992, the largest of which is the Choque Pit which produced most of the mined ore during the period 1990-1992. 6 additional epithermal targets have been identified, all with some drilling and intercepts of anomalous gold-silver mineralization. The following figure presents the identified target areas, named Aloya, Proa, Blanca, Milluni, Antena, and Espanola. These targets represent additional potential and will be a focus of subsequent work. 6 identified target areas and hydrothermal alteration within the Choquelimpie concessions.
