Torq Resources Initiates Exploration Program in Newfoundland
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(June 13, 2017) -Torq Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TORQ) ("Torq" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the initiation of its 2017 exploration program in Newfoundland, Canada. Torq controls 120,000 hectares in the central and eastern regions of the province (see Figure 1), consisting of four road accessible claim blocks. Three of the blocks extend along the northeast trend of Marathon Gold's Valentine Lake discovery. The fourth claim block is situated along the structural corridor known as the Gander trend that is characterized by numerous high-grade gold occurrences.
In November 2016, Torq initiated property wide exploration with a focus of generating gold targets along major structural corridors. The Company has collected and assayed 1,054 glacial till samples to date and expects to collect an additional 1,900 samples by the end of June. This systematic geochemical sampling represents the first stage of exploration across Torq's land position. Follow-up surface work to develop drill targets will be scheduled for Q3 and Q4 of 2017.
