(TSXV: TMET) (\"Torr\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce preliminary assay results from 896 of a total 3348 soil samples collected during the 2023 field program on the 100% owned 140 km2 Kolos Copper-Gold Project, located adjacent to Highway 5 and 23 kilometers (km) north-northeast of the city of Merritt, British Columbia.The initial results are derived from soil samples specifically gathered to explore potential extensions to mineralization observed in limited exposures of outcrop. Soil results yielded up to 723 parts per million (ppm) copper (Cu) and 474 parts per billion (ppb) gold (Au) within two newly identified envelopes of >200 ppm Cu that highlight significant large-scale mineralization measuring 1300 metres (m) by 750 m and 950 m by 550 m at the Lodi and Kirby Zones, respectively (Figure 1). Zones of anomalous copper and gold at Kolos occur across a 3 km trend, coinciding with a 6 km north-south trending magnetic high anomaly that is typically associated with major porphyry deposits elsewhere within the region. Highlights include:Outcropping Mineralization within Kilometre-Scale Soil Anomalies: 2023 soil sampling has confirmed robust copper-gold mineralization aligning with exposures of mineralized outcrop, where select historical rock grab sampling yielded 4.42 grams per tonne (g/t) Au, 0.52% Cu, and 11.3 g/t silver (Ag) at the Kirby occurrence and (see November 16, 2023 news release).Highly Anomalous Copper-Gold with Additional Assays Pending: Of the 896 soil samples analyzed, 394 showed highly anomalous concentrations exceeding 50 ppm Cu, with 129 surpassing 100 ppm Cu, and 27 samples registering over 200 ppm Cu; additionally, 37 soil samples exhibited values greater than 20 ppb Au (Figure 1). Pending assays for 2,452 soil samples will further assess the expansion potential of the Lodi and Kirby Zones, along with four additional exploration targets to the north. District-Scale with Untested New Discovery Potential: The Kolos Project comprises six road-accessible copper-gold-molybdenum occurrences (Kirby, Lodi, Ace, Rea, Helmer, Clapperton) that remain untouched by drilling.
