(TSXV: WHM) (FSE: CGK1) (OTC Pink: TNMLF) (\"White Metal\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an exploration update from its Australian joint venture partner Noronex Limited (ASX: NRX) (\"Noronex\") on the DorWit Copper-Silver Project (the \"Project\"), located in the Kalahari Copperbelt of central Namibia (see Noronex news release dated November 16, 2021). The Namibian Project comprises three Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs) that cover 72,000 hectares, referred to as the Witvlei (EPL 7028 and EPL 7029) and Dordabis (EPL 7030) properties. The Project is prospective for sedimentary-hosted Cu-Ag mineralization within the prolific Kalahari Copper Belt that spans Namibia and Botswana. The focus of the current exploration efforts will be on the Witvlei Property that comprises EPL 7028 and 7029 (Figure 1).HighlightsInitial assays received for first 10 holes (~1,900 m) of a ~60 hole (~12,000 m) reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling program at the Witvlei Property.Maiden drilling at the greenfields Otjiwaru Property intersected anomalous Copper confirming the soil geochemistry is reflecting underlying bedrock anomalies with one drilling intercept of 7.0 m grading 0.5% Cu - further results are pending. Two rigs are currently finalising the drilling program at the Gemboksvlei Property (21 holes for 4,200 m) and next move to the Okasewa South Property to test high priority copper geochemical soil and geophysical IP chargeability targets. Okasewa South is located directly south of the known Okasewa Cu deposit which has an existing JORC (2012) mineral resource of 4.4 Mt at 1.2% Cu (see Noronex news release dated March 8, 2021).Over 7,000 m of the 12,000 m planned drilling program have now been completed at the Otjiwaru, Christiadore and Gemboksvlei properties. Drilling is planned to continue in coming weeks at Okasewa South and then move to the high priority targets at the Dalheim Property.Michael Stares, President & CEO of White Metal, stated, \"We are very pleased with the progress that the Noronex technical team has made in the early stages of exploration and drilling pro...
