(\"Torr\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: TMET) is pleased to announce the multi-element analytical results and preliminary interpretations from 1,108 soil samples collected from the Dalvenie Zone during the 2022 field season (Figure 1). The Dalvenie Zone, part of the 689 km2 Latham Project, is road accessible from Highway 37 and is ~8 kilometres (km) south of the Company's Gnat Pass Copper-Gold porphyry deposit.Soil samples from 2022 were designed to confirm historically reported grades, test for potential extensions to copper-gold mineralization, and establish a distribution pattern of pathfinder elements for vectoring a potential core porphyry exploration target. As a result of these efforts, Torr has successfully identified 3 new north-south trending copper (Cu) soil anomalies that have assayed >300 ppm across a 6.6 km-wide structural corridor encompassing the West, Central, and East Dalvenie Zones (Figure 1). Additionally, the 2022 soil sampling has defined a widespread >30 km2 footprint to strong pathfinder elements that have outlined a potential core zone to a high-level exposure of a porphyry system measuring ~1,900 metres (m) in strike-length and ~1,250 m in width within the Central Dalvenie Zone (Figure 2). Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO, commented, \"From the start, our interpretation has been that the Dalvenie Zone has the potential to host a large-scale copper-gold mineralizing system genetically linked to a nearby or underlying porphyry. Our systematic approach from 2022 has now confirmed a geochemical fingerprint consistent with this interpretation, together with a significant expansion of targets far beyond the limits of the historical 2.1 km2 soil grid. With the combination of all of our coincident data including strong pathfinder elements, geophysical anomalies, high-grade copper-gold rock grab samples, and broad mapped alteration at-surface we are confident that we will be able to optimize drill targeting of the untested porphyry target and look forward to starting the next phase.\" Highlights2022 soil samples defined 3 new copper soil anomalies in the West and East Dalvenie Zones while also extending the strike-length...
