Cranbrook, British Columbia - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) (FSE: J8C) ('DLP' or the 'Company') announces receipt of complete drill results for drillholes A25-025 on the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project in southern Peru.
Highlights
Drillhole A25-025 was drilled off platform A25-024 with the aim of extending and infilling mineralization to the southeast. This drillhole intersected a partially leached zone from 2.00m to 92.00m and copper-silver and molybdenum mineralization from 92.00m to the end of the hole at 901.60m.
Summary results were as follows
0.12% CuEq over 90.00m from 2.00m to 92.00m.
0.47% CuEq over 809.60m from 92.00m to 901.60m.
0.35% CuEq over 238.00m from 224.00m to 462.00m
0.58% CuEq over 439.60m from 462.00m to 901.60m.
Mr. Gendall, President and CEO, commented: 'Drillhole A25-025 was successful in extending and infilling copper, molybdenum and silver mineralization to the southeast. As expected, the mineralized intercepts continued and it is noted that once again the hole bottomed in mineralization. An additional two drillholes, A25-026 and 027 are in progress and will be completed by the end of the month.
'We are on track to update the initial Mineral Resource Estimate and complete the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) by Q1 of 2026.'
Aurora Cu-Mo-Ag Project - Summary of Drill Results
Drill hole A25-025 commenced on August 30 at an inclination of -70 degrees towards 300 degrees (NW) and ended on October 12 at 901.60m.
Summary geology is as follows
0.00 - 2.00m: Overburden.
2.00 - 18.40m: Mineralized hornfels and breccia.
18.40 - 535.00m: Mineralized inter-mineral porphyry.
535.00 - 901.60m: Mineralized early porphyry.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance
DLP Resources Peru S.A.C, a subsidiary of DLP Resources Inc., supervises drilling and carries out sampling of HTW, NTW and BTW core. Logging and sampling are completed at a secured Company facility situated on the project site. Sample intervals are nominally 1m to 3m in length. Drill core is cut in half using a rotary diamond blade saw and samples are sealed on site before transportation to the ALS Peru S.A.C. sample preparation facility in Arequipa by Company vehicles and staff. Prepared samples are sent to Lima by ALS Peru S.A.C. for analysis. ALS Peru S.A.C. is an independent laboratory. Samples are analyzed for 48 elements using a four-acid digestion and ICP-MS analysis (ME-MS61). In addition, sequential copper analyses are done where secondary copper mineralization is observed and reports, soluble copper using sulphuric acid leach, soluble copper in cyanide leach, residual copper and total copper. ALS meets all requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 for analytical procedures.
DLP Resources independently monitors quality control and quality assurance ('QA/QC') through a program that includes the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards), blanks and pulp duplicate samples. The company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data for intervals reported in A25-023 and A25-024.
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Update
The PEA study is being conducted by Global Resource Engineering ('GRE') with C.H. Plenge & Cia S.A. ('Plenge') in Lima, Peru doing additional metallurgical tests on four bulk samples taken from the hornfels zone, enriched zone, copper rich zone and molybdenum rich zone at Aurora.
GRE have completed the field review of infrastructure options at Aurora and are currently reviewing the geological model in preparation for further pit optimization studies later in November.
Aurora Project
Aurora Project is an advanced stage porphyry copper-molybdenum exploration project in the Province of Calca, SE Peru. The Aurora Project was previously permitted for drilling in 2015 but was never executed. Thirteen historical drillholes, drilled in 2001 and 2005 totaling 3,900m were drilled over an area of approximately 1000m by 800m, cut significant intervals of copper and molybdenum mineralization. From logging of the only three remaining holes DDA-01, DDA-3A and DDA-3 and data now available, it appears that only three of the thirteen holes tested the enriched copper zone and only one hole drilled deep enough to test the primary copper and molybdenum zone.
Salient historic drillhole data of the Aurora Project are: 190m @ 0.57% Cu, 0.008% Mo in DDA-1 with a high-grade intercept of 20m @ 1.01% Cu related to a supergene enrichment zone of secondary chalcocite; 142m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.004% Mo in DDA-3; 71.7m @ 0.7% Cu, 0.007% Mo in DDA-3A and One of the historical holes ABC-6 drilled on the edge of the system intersected 78m @ 0.45% Cu and 0.107% Mo.
A review of the historical drilling indicates that the majority of the thirteen holes were drilled in the leached and partially leached zones of the porphyry system. Ten of the thirteen holes never fully tested the oxide and secondary enrichment zone and/or the primary copper zone at depth encountered in DDA-01. Copper-molybdenum mineralization is hosted by quartz-feldspar porphyries intruded into slates-hornfels and pelitic sandstones belonging to the Ordovician (439 - 463 ma) Sandia Formation.
Esperanza Project
DLP will be commencing a 228 line-km Drone magnetic survey on the Esperanza project in mid-November 2025. The purpose of this survey is to assist with the definition of drill targets for an initial drill program in 2026.
Results for 44 rock samples taken in the initial reconnaissance sampling and mapping of the northwestern part of the project have returned highly anomalous copper, molybdenum, cobalt and zinc in mapped intrusive stocks and polymictic breccias within the overlying volcanics.
