[{"type":"text","content":"Troubadour Drills Extensive Porphyry Mineralization and Alteration at the Amarillo Project, Southwestern B.C.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 16, 2020) - TROUBADOUR RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: TR) (OTC Pink: TROUF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the recently completed four hole, 1,075m drill program on the Company's 100% owned Amarillo Project intersected large intervals of mineralization and alteration indicative of an alkalic porphyry system.Key HighlightsDrilling encountered extensive lengths of highly anomalous copper, zinc, molybdenum, silver and gold in the three holes targeting the Trench Anomaly area;The precious metal mineralogy in conjunction with the alteration is highly indicative of a fertile porphyry system;The extent and zonation of mineralization is interpreted as the area between the inner propylitic and core of a porphyry system; andIn response to the drill results the Company has staked an additional 751 ha of prospective ground adjacent to the Trench Anomaly.2019 Drill ProgramA total of 693m of drilling in holes AMAR-19-006, 007, and 008 targeted a multi-tier 3D IP, magnetic and geochemical target in the Trench Anomaly area. Within a broadly mineralized zone the highest metal value interval graded 0.14% CuEq1 over 11.5m from 15.5m to 27.0m downhole in AMAR19-008. The copper mineralization encountered has a strong geochemical relationship to the gold and silver results, which suggests the system being targeted has a greater affinity to alkalic systems comparable to the Copper Mountain deposit rather than the nearby Brenda deposit as previously thought. This is further supported by a moderate to strong, phyllic and inner propylitic alteration suite being observed in 70% of the meters drilled at the Trench Anomaly target area.\"This is a significant turn-of-events for the Project and has proved the potential for a new hidden porphyry copper occurrence at Amarillo,\" stated Company President Geoff Schellenberg. \"The positive results from this program will significantly help in vectoring and targeting our next drilling campaign in search for the higher-grade mineralized core of the system. Our work to date is only an initial foray and we have barely scratched the surface of the 1 km long Trench Anomaly.\"The Trench Anomaly drill holes contained a variety of key geological indic...
