[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 3, 2023) - TEAKO MINERALS CORP. (CSE: TMIN) (the \"Company\" or \"Teako\"), is pleased to provide results from the late season 2022 exploration program on the Company's Pinnacle Copper and Gold Project (\"Pinnacle Project\"). Work included soil sampling, geological mapping, rock sampling and drone based magnetic surveying that expanded on the preliminary work completed in 2021 which focused on the gold-rich Aplite Creek copper target. The Pinnacle Project is located in north central British Columbia, 97 km to the north of the town of Fort St. James and covers 15,487 hectares. (Figure 1). It is located 50 km to the west of Centerra Gold's Mt. Milligan Copper-Gold Mine and 20 km southeast of NorthWest Copper's Kwanika Copper-Gold Deposit in a proven copper-gold porphyry district. Access to the property is by road including a new and expanding network of logging roads and trails throughout the main target area. This improved access is a significant development and is anticipated to contribute to cost effective drill support and increase bedrock exposure. Highlights: The 2022 work program comprised UAV drone-based magnetic surveying, soil sampling, geological mapping and rock sampling. Extensive gold and copper soil anomalies outlined in 2021 located within the Aplite Creek target were extended in the fall of 2022, adding 4 km to the southeast of the 2021 soil grid area. 427 soil samples were collected and returned 42 samples yielding assay values greater than 20 ppb gold and 17 samples greater than 100 ppm copper in an area void of outcrop and with interpreted modest till cover. Rock grab samples collected from the Aplite Creek occurrence returned several anomalous sample results. A highlight was one grab sample that returned 1.4% Cu and 1.7 g/t Au. The Aplite Creek target area now covers an area of approximately 4 km by 8 km. Target is associated with propylitic and potassic alteration within and adjacent to high-level monzonite intrusions on the flanks of the Hogem batholith. 2022 Work Program and Results Exploration work in 2022 was centered on and around the Aplite Creek Occurrence and comprised extensions of the 2021 soil grid to the east, expanded UAV drone based magnetic coverage westerly and east from the previous survey while mapping and rock sampling within the original ...
