Torr Metals Inc. (TSX.V: TMET) has announced promising results from its recent induced polarization survey and rock grab sampling at the Bertha Zone within the expansive 332 km2 Kolos Copper-Gold Project located in British Columbia. The sampling, conducted at the historical Bertha pit, revealed copper concentrations as high as 16.9% and silver at 8.48 g/t over a 30 m strike, with mineralization extending over 450 m between the Bertha and Bertha South showings, areas previously untouched by drilling. This high-grade copper discovery is situated on the edge of a newly identified IP chargeability anomaly, measuring over 900 m by 500 m, which remains open in several directions.
All six grab samples collected exceeded 1% copper, with four samples surpassing 3%, indicating the presence of a broad supergene-style blanket near a porphyry core, hosted within the Nicola Group volcanic unit. In addition to these findings, Torr Metals has pinpointed a prime untested porphyry target southeast of the Bertha pit. This target is characterized by overlapping chargeability and resistivity anomalies, coinciding with a significant hydrothermal alteration footprint, suggesting the potential for further mineral discoveries.
The Kolos Copper-Gold Project, 100% owned by Torr Metals, is strategically positioned in southern British Columbia's Quesnel Terrane, just 30 km southeast of the Highland Valley Copper Mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation. This location offers the advantage of established infrastructure and accessibility for year-round exploration and development activities. The discovery of high-grade copper and the identification of an untested porphyry target at the Kolos Project underscore the region's potential for significant mineral resource development, contributing to the growing demand for copper and gold in global markets.
