The Porvenir Project is situated in the centre of the Bolivian Tin belt, 65 km southeast of the city of Oruro, in the Oruro department, and it is only 15 km south of the Huanuni Mine, Bolivia's largest producing tin mine. The 11.25 km2 property encompasses a historical near-surface open pit and underground workings; the deposit was exploited on a limited scale. Further to a strategic review of historical exploration programs and a recent relogging program (see news releases dated March 2, 2023, and April 3, 2023), high priority targets are defined in the central area of the Project, which highlighted a structurally-controlled mineralization zone trending NW comprising of massive sulfides and a series of mineralized sulfide veins. The first phase of this drilling program is the mobilization of a diamond drill rig to commence a 3,000 meters program, which may be extended at a later date, pending results. The exploration drilling will include targeted drilling, aimed at expanding the mineralization discovered by historical exploration programs and to further test the extension of mineralization along strike.All required exploration permits are in place and a local drilling contractor has begun to mobilize crews and equipment. \"It is our aim for 2023 to unlock the exploration potential of the Porvenir Project by advancing our drilling and prospecting activities,\" Mr. Gordon Neal, CEO of the Company stated: \"There have only been a handful of new tin deposits discovered in the past 40 years. We are excited and confident that our 3,000 m diamond drill program at Porvenir will be a success. We expect to see assays from this program by the end of June to early July.\"About Tincorp Tincorp Metals Inc. is a mineral exploration company focusing on tin projects in Boliv...
