Torq Obtains Drill Permit for the Margarita Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold Project in Northern Chile

VACOUVER, BC  / June 30, 2021 / Torq Resources Inc. (TSXV:TORQ)(OTCQX:TRBMF) ("Torq" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received its environmental permit from the Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Mineria for its Margarita iron-oxide-copper-gold project in northern Chile (Figure 1). The environmental permit allows Torq to drill from up to 39 drill platforms across the 1,045-hectare project area, which is centered on a 5 kilometre (km) by 6 km silica-clay hydrothermal alteration system that contains secondary copper oxide mineralization in historical drilling, with the primary target on the property being a copper sulphide source to the observed oxide mineralization (Figure 2) (see March 8, 2021 news release). The Company anticipates its first drill program at the project to commence during Q3, with an initial 4000 - 6000 metres planned.
 
A Message from Shawn Wallace, Executive Chairman & Director:
 
"We are very pleased to announce the receipt of our drill permit at Margarita. Our targeting work has made us very optimistic about the prospect of making a significant new discovery during the upcoming drill campaign, which is scheduled to commence near the end of Q3. This, coupled with ongoing assessment work in advance of drilling at the Andrea project, should be a very exciting period for all of our shareholders and stakeholders."

District Intersects 8.65 m at 2.9% Copper, 0.4 g/t Gold and 3.0 m at 2.8% Copper, 1.2 g/t Au on the Tomtebo Property

Vancouver, British Columbia--(June 28, 2021) - District Metals Corp. (TSXV: DMX) (FSE: DFPP) ("District" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results on four drill holes (TOM21-013 to -016) from the maiden drilling program at the high grade polymetallic Tomtebo Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District in south-central Sweden. Drill holes TOM21-004 to -012 were completed at the Steffenburgs and Oscarsgruvan zones where drill core samples from these eight holes were batched together resulting in a longer turnaround time, and the Company expects these assay results will be released within the next two weeks.
 
Holes TOM21-013 to -016 were drilled below open pits where copper sulphides were historically extracted at the Gårdsgruvans zone in the southwest portion of the historic Tomtebo Mine. Of particular interest, holes TOM21-013 and -016 successfully intersected vein networks of copper-rich sulphides within strongly altered felsic volcanic rocks. These vein networks occur over intervals of approximately 50 m in both drill holes with sub-sections of higher grade copper mineralization highlighted below:
 
TOM21-013 intersected 8.65 m at 2.92% Cu and 0.43 g/t Au (76.65 to 85.30 m) including 7.05 m at 3.47% Cu and 0.52 g/t Au (77.45 to 84.50 m), and 5.15 m at 1.56% Cu and 0.32 g/t Au (191.30 to 196.45 m).
TOM21-016 intersected 17.2 m at 0.94% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au (191.6 to 208.8 m) including 3.0 m at 2.80% Cu and 1.21 g/t Au (201.1 to 204.1 m).

Torq Options Andrea Copper Porphyry Project in Chile

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2021 / Torq Resources Inc. (TSXV:TORQ)(OTCQX:TRBMF) ("Torq" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Andrea copper porphyry project located in northern Chile, 100 kilometres (km) east of the city of La Serena. The property is located at the western margin of the Miocene aged El Indio belt that hosts the world-class El Indio and Pascua Lama epithermal gold and silver deposits (Barrick Gold Corporation) (Figure 1). This belt was extensively explored for precious metal epithermal deposits in the 1980s - 1990s, but remains highly under-explored for copper porphyry systems.
 
A Message from Shawn Wallace, Executive Chair & Director:
"We are very pleased to announce the closing of our second acquisition this year. The Andrea aquisition represents an important step in our stated goal of populating the Company's portfolio with highly leveraged copper and gold projects. Exploration at the Margarita copper-gold project, and now Andrea, will provide the Company, its shareholders and stakeholders with an exciting and potentially rewarding year as we rapidly advance both projects to drilling."
