Torq Resources Inc. (TSXV:TORQ)(OTCQX:TRBMF) has provided an exploration update on its Santa Cecilia gold-copper project in Chile. This world-class project, located in the Maricunga belt, is adjacent to the Norte Abierto project, currently held by Newmont and Barrick. The ongoing phase 1 drill program aims to follow up on past discoveries, with the first drill hole completed at 1,060 meters. The company is targeting high-grade mineralization, with plans for a second drill hole before a winter pause. Additionally, significant surface work has been conducted, including geologic mapping and soil sampling, covering around 80% of the hydrothermal system. Results from these efforts are anticipated in the coming weeks, contributing to further exploration strategies.
Torq Resources Inc. (OTCQX:TRBMF) has announced the results from a recent soil geochemical survey at its Margarita Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold project in northern Chile. This survey identified multiple gold and gold-copper targets, including five new areas that have not yet been drill tested. The Falla 13 discovery shows promising mineralization, with drill intercepts up to 0.94 g/t gold. A third drilling phase is planned for Q3 2023 to explore these new targets.
