[{"type":"text","content":"Tarku Reports High Grade Drilling Results of up to 1,515 g/t Ag Equivalent over 1.5 m at Silver Strike in ArizonaMONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / June 3, 2021 / Tarku Resources Ltd (TSXV:TKU)(FRA:7TK)(OTCQB:TRKUF) (the \"Company\" or \"Tarku\") is pleased to announce additional results from its 2021 drill program on the high-grade Silver Strike Project in the Tombstone District of Arizona (the \"Project\"). Significant results include 720 g/t silver, 6.44 g/t gold, 5.08% lead and 5.05% zinc or 1,515 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) over 1.5 m in hole SS21-007 targeting north-south structure located in the historic Lucky Cuss mine area.Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku, stated: \"we are extremely pleased with the early results of our Silver Strike drill program. The silver equivalent numbers this close to the surface, far exceeded our expectations. Additionally, presence of gold, lead and zinc, at such high grades was unexpected and welcomed. To date we have received the lab results for 10 out of 23 drill holes, providing us already with a much clearer picture of the geological setting of our Silver Strike project. There are too many high-grade spikes of different metals at different locations over the project to assume coincidence, thus we strongly speculate presence of a large Carbonate Replacement system feeding all various spikes.\"\"This mineralisation is within the same stratigraphic package and shows significant similarities in terms of geological context to the nearby Hermosa project which in 2018 was purchased by South32 for $1.8 billion.\"Tarku's first drill program on the Silver Strike project was completed on May 28, 2021. The program totaling 8,921 feet aimed to test the potential of high-grade silver in 5 different zones (see Table 1 & 2):the north-south structures (Lucky Cuss Fault) around the Lucky Cuss, Luck Sure and East Side historic mines areas,the east-west structure (Prompter Fault) around the Bunker Hill historic mine area,the regional north-east structure around the Ground Hog historic mine,the west extension of the east-west Prompter fault andthe Solstice and Ace-in-the-Hole historic mines areas (see Figure 1).The results received to date include the first 10 holes (SS21-001 to SS21-010) targeting the first two zones described above. Sampling methodology included taking of 5 ft long samples and all resul...
