Torque Metals Commences New Paris Gold Project Drill Campaign

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Torque Metals (ASX: TOR) has commenced follow-up drilling at the company’s wholly-owned Paris Gold project outside Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Torque Metals indicated the reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling campaign will focus on the Observation-Paris-HHH-Eva gold discoveries within the Paris project.

The drilling hopes to extend high-grade gold structures at Paris, Observation, HHH and Eva prospects where the company has previously encountered strong gold intercepts.

“A 6,500-metres reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling campaign is poised to commence this week at the Paris gold project potentially host to multiple deposits within a larger mineralised system, spanning approximately 2.5km by 1km remaining open in all directions,” Torque Metals managing director Cristian Moreno said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Torque believes that Paris possesses the attributes indicative of a tier 1 gold project, largely due to the presence of parallel structures and splays controlled by the Boulder Lefroy System.

“This conviction finds support in robust gold intercepts, exemplified by drill holes such as 23PRCDD076, yielding 35m at 14.12g/t gold from 157.85m, including intervals such as 1.2m at 185g/t gold from 174.7m, alongside other notable intersections across various drill holes.

“Metallurgical testing outcomes significantly bolster the project’s viability, with gravity and cyanide leaching recoveries achieving very strong results.

“Gravity concentration yields approximately 40% gold recovery for both Paris and Observation.

“Impressively, cyanide leach testing demonstrated Paris achieved a recovery rate of 96.79%, while Observation attained an even higher recovery rate of 99.7% with minimal cyanide consumption required.”
