(TSXV: ORS) (OTC Pink: ORESF) (FSE: O2R1) (WKN: O2R1) continues to refine the model for the gold copper porphyry trend on Captain Property through compilation and interpretation of structural and geological data combined with the interpretation of results of the airborne MagnetoTelluric (MT) survey resistivity and magnetic results. Three distinct MT low resistivity (high conductivity) targets have been outlined over a five kilometre strike length along a prominent north/south trending inferred regional fault. The three targets are aligned at the intersection of northeast and northwest trending interpreted cross faults. This trend remains open to the north and south on Orestone claims and additional airborne MT surveys are planned for 2023.Captain Claims MT Trend MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4752/156893_f49f45eb742fd883_001full.jpgThe airborne MT vertical pseudo-sections over the primary target \"T1\" indicate a steeply easterly dipping structurally controlled porphyry system beginning several hundred metres beneath a conductive tabular section of sulphide rich highly phyllic - potassic altered latite volcanics. The T1 MT conductive anomaly measures 300-400 metres x 1200 metres at a depth of 500 metres and increases to size to 1500 x 1500 metres at a depth of 1300 metres indicating the deep potential porphyry system narrows to a dyke system near surface. Drilling in 2023 is planned to target the core of the system with two holes planned to a depth of 1000 metres and will continue to depth if gold-copper mineralized altered porphyry is encountered.Proposed Drill HoleTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4752/156893_f49f45eb742fd883_002full.jpgWhile no previous drilling has been conducted in the core of the system, seven fringing drill holes have intersected numerous vertical to subvertical porphyry dykes within a wide tabular zone of phyllic alteration 200-500 metres thick. Gold-copper mineralization associated with sericite-potassium feldspar (kspar) alteration have been intercepted from 20-160 metres thick grading 0.2...
