[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; TSX‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today announced trench channel sample assay results from the Tróia target (“Tróia”) at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”) in northeastern Brazil. “Our geological team continues to deliver at the Pedra Branca palladium-platinum project. Tróia joins Ipueiras and Galante East in our pipeline of drill-ready targets,” stated ValOre’s V.P. of Exploration, Colin Smith. “The trench results at the Tróia target confirm the presence of in-situ PGE mineralization intercepted in previously reported Trado® auger drilling and rock sampling and demonstrate potential continuity of the target chromite-bearing ultramafic rocks over 600 m along trend. Mineralization and the target ultramafic intrusion remain fully open at depth and warrant follow-up core or RC drilling.” Tróia Trenching Highlights: Six of seven trenches returned significant intervals of PGE mineralization at surface, including: 42 metres (“m”) grading 0.87 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold (“g/t 2PGE+Au”), including 10 m grading 1.72 g/t 2PGE+Au in trench TR22TR04; 28 m grading 0.91 g/t 2PGE+Au, including 12 m grading 1.73 g/t 2PGE+Au in trench TR22TR01; 26 m grading 0.82 g/t 2PGE+Au in trench TR22TR02; 16 m grading 1.30 g/t 2PGE+Au in trench TR22CC01. Tróia Target Exploration Program ValOre conducted detailed geological mapping and prospecting along the 1-km-long anomalous trend at Tróia, a target located 4.5 km north-northeast of Massapê (129,000 oz 2PGE+Au grading 1.21 g/t in 3.31 Mt) and 8 km north of Trapia (885,000 oz 2PGE+Au grading 0.96 g/t in 27.8 Mt). The trend was subsequently followed up with 72 Trado® auger holes totaling 206 m, with ultramafics (“UM”) encountered in 19 Trado® holes. PGE assays previously reported from Trado® auger drilling and rock sampling, which included 23.01 g/t 2PGE+Au and 12.00 g/t 2PGE+Au (CLICK HERE for news release dated April 25, 2022), warranted follow-up trenching along 600 m of geological trend to confirm the presence of in-situ PGE mineralization. Seven trenches were excavated (400 m total length), with all exposing UM and UM-derived rock continuity along strike, including chromite-rich UMs of significant thickness ...
