NEW YORK, NY, May 21, 2021 /Sector Newswire/ -- White Metal Resources Corp. (TSX-V: WHM) (US Listing: TNMLF) (Frankfurt: CGK1) is focused on advancing two major projects; 1) its recently optioned Tower Stock Gold Project in Ontario, where it is currently undergoing a ~4,000 m Phase 1 drilling program on multiple zones, and 2) its 95%-owned Okohongo Copper-Silver Project in Namibia, where the Company is in the process of bringing the historical resource to NI 43-101 compliance and is expected to produce a technical report on the Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit this Q2-2021.

 

Below is the last release on the Tarnis Copper-Silver Project, the last two news releases from White Metal on the Tower Stock Gold Project, followed by excerpt copy of a Mining MarketWatch Journal review, full copy of which may be viewed at https://miningmarketwatch.net/whm.htm online.

  

Excerpt from May 18, 2021 news release:

 

White Metal Reports 23.0 Metres of 2.31% Cu, 46.3 g/t Ag Including 4.0 Metres of 4.74% Cu, 65.1 g/t Ag from Final RC Drilling Results, Taranis Copper-Silver Project, Namibia

 

Thunder Bay, Ontario, May 18, 2021: White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV:WHM) (“White Metal” or the “Company”) is pleased report that it has received the final batch of assay results from the remaining 15 reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes from its January-February 2021 drilling program (28 drill holes totalling 3,226 m) (Table 1). The Company previously announced results from 13 drill holes (see Company news releases 23 March 2021 and 8 April 2021). All drill holes from the current program targeted the area of the historical Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit (“Okohongo”). The 95% owned Taranis Copper-Silver Project (the “Project” or “Property”), which includes the historical Okohongo Copper-Silver Deposit, is located in northwestern Namibia and is defined by Exclusive Prospecting Licence (“EPL”) 7071, covering about 19,850 hectares.

 
​Michael Stares, President & CEO of the Company stated, “We see again that the RC drill holes from Okohongo are confirming the historical results and we look forward to completing a current NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate and technical report very soon. Strong copper and silver prices have given this project a robust valuation and we look forward to receiving our Property renewal in the coming months. We will be working aggressively to maximise the value of our Namibian copper projects, while maintaining our focus on our flagship property, the Tower Stock Gold Property, located in northwestern Ontario, Canada.”
 

 

The recently completed RC drilling program (OK20-P series holes) on the Property was aimed at twinning, as close as possible and as reflected in Table 2, many of the RC drill holes that were used to calculate the 2011 historical mineral resource estimate, but did include some newly located holes.

 

 

There were no significant intersections in drill hole OK20-P013 and drill holes OK20-P09, -010, -015, and -016 did not intersect visible copper mineralization and were therefore not sampled. Intervals shown in Table 2 are not true widths but rather, refer to the RC chip sample intervals that were assayed.

Now that the Company has received all the results from the recently completed drilling program it will begin the process of updating the historical mineral resources from the Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit to a current National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) mineral resource estimate and technical report.

The historical Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit has been outlined by historical and current drilling which shows that it extends for 600+ metres in strike length, 400 metres down-dip, and is open in all directions (see INV Metals news release dated August 3, 2011). The Okohongo, situated within the Kaoko Belt of northwest Namibia about 700 km northwest of Windhoek, is hosted by metasedimentary stratigraphy and is considered to be analogous with the stratiform sediment-hosted Central African Copperbelt deposits of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This deposit contains historical Inferred Mineral Resources of 10.2 million tonnes grading 1.12% Cu and 17.75 g/t Ag, using a 0.3% Cu cut-off (Table 3; INV Metals Inc. NI 43-101 Technical Report, Effective Date March 31, 2011).

 



The Company is treating the tonnages and grades reported in Table 3 as historical mineral resources. The Inferred mineral resource estimate reported in Table 3 for the Okohongo Copper-Silver Deposit was prepared by qualified authors in 2011, conforming to CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as outlined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects at the time of disclosure. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the Company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned that the historical estimates do not mean or imply that economic deposits exist on the Property. The Company has not undertaken any independent investigation of the historical estimates or other information contained in this news release nor has it independently analyzed the results of the previous exploration work in order to verify the accuracy of the information. The Company believes that this historical estimate and other information contained in this news release are relevant to continuing exploration on the Property.

Sample Analysis
RC chip samples were sent to the Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“Actlabs”) preparation lab in Windhoek, Namibia and once prepared were sent to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada for analyses. The samples were first analysed with 4-Acid “Near Total” Digestion (1F2) with ICP-OES finish for Ag, Cu and a suite of 33 other elements. Subsequently, samples with Ag greater than 100 ppm (above Ag upper detection limit) were analysed with Fire Assay Gravimetric (8-Ag) and Cu greater than 10,000 ppm (above Cu upper detection limit) were analysed with sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-OES finish (8-Peroxide ICP). A Quality Control/Quality Assurance (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the regular insertion of Certified Reference Material copper-silver standards and blanks into the sample stream by the Company was in place as was the industry standard internal QA/QC practices used by Actlabs.

White Metal 3D-IP Geophysical Survey Correlates with New Ellen Zone Gold Discovery and Provides Multiple Targets for Phase 2 Drilling Program at Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario

 

Thunder Bay, Ontario, May 13, 2021: White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV:WHM) (“White Metal” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has received the final report in regards to the DasVision 3D Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey completed by Abitibi Geophysics (“Abitibi”) on the Tower Stock Gold Project (the “Property” or the “Project”). The Property, which until now has not seen any exploration activity for more than eight years, is located about 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario and covers approximately 1,968 hectares.

 
​The 3D-IP survey revealed a number of anomalies with the most notable anomaly, TS-02, encompassing the area of the newly discovered Ellen Zone (see Company news release dated April 20, 2021). This anomaly exhibits a broad arcuate shape covering approximately 750 x 300 metres and appears to flank the western edge of the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex (“TMIC”). It can be traced as far north as the southeast end of the U-V Zone and encompasses the A Zone and the Bench Zone to the south and east, respectively. The Ellen Zone appears to flank the western edge of the IP anomaly and results returned from drill hole TM-21-94 and a number of gold-bearing surface samples, suggests a direct correlation with gold mineralization. This anomaly also correlates with a high gold index according to the interpretation completed by Abitibi (Gold Index = (chargeability2 x resistivity) / 1000). The TS-02 anomaly is ranked as a high priority target due to the inclusion and proximity of known gold occurrences and will require extensive surface work and follow up drilling.

 
Another high priority anomaly, TS-04, is located about 300 metres northeast of the eastern end of the U-V Zone, exhibiting a combination of high changeability/resistivity and is traceable for about 1 km to the southeast. The northern extent of the anomaly underlies the area of historical diamond drill hole TM-02-05, completed by ValGold Resources Ltd., which intersected 6.0 metres grading 2.4 g/t Au.

 

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, “We are very pleased with the outcome of the 3D-IP survey, it has added to our already expanding data base and will give us additional targets for follow-up in order to explain the sources of the anomalies. It is particularly exciting to see that one of the anomalies, TS-02, covers the area of the new Ellen Zone and I look forward to following up on this particular anomaly. I am very confident that our exploration work will continue to enhance the Property and advance our understanding of the new and known gold targets within the Tower Stock Gold Project”.

 

In fall 2020, White Metal personnel prospected the Ellen Zone area, which is largely covered by overburden, and returned anomalous gold values in rock grab samples ranging from weakly anomalous (>50 ppb Au) to 1300 ppb Au (1.3 g/t Au). Discovery drill hole TM-21-94 was set up approximately 70 metres west of the surface rock grab samples and drilled in a northeast direction at a 60 degrees dip. The dip and strike of the Ellen Zone is not precisely known but based on historical data and information, it is thought that this zone may strike roughly in a southeast-northwest direction.

Excerpt from May 11, 2021 news release:

 

White Metal Expands Bench Zone, Extends Strike Potential to 2.1 km and Plans for Additional Drilling at the Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario

 

Thunder Bay, Ontario, May 11, 2021: White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV:WHM) (“White Metal” or the “Company”) has received the final gold assay results from the Phase 1 2021 winter drilling program. Core assays from the 2021 drilling program clearly indicate the excellent potential for the Tower Stock Gold Project (the” Project” or the “Property”), which in addition to historical core assays show a broad horizon of low grade gold mineralization that spans for over 2.1 kilometres. The Company also sees great potential for high grade gold shoots within the broad intercepts of lower grade gold mineralization, such as those recorded in recently announced drill hole TM-21-94 from the newly discovered Ellen Zone (see Company news release dated April 20, 2021). The Property covers approximately 1,968 hectares and is located about 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

 
​The 2021 winter drilling program has further substantiated the Property’s potential and as a result the Company is planning a follow-up drilling program to further test the large tonnage potential of the low grade gold zones and to determine the extent of prospective higher grade gold zones. It is very important to note that the alteration associated with lower grade gold mineralization is intense, pervasive and shows good continuity, suggesting there is not only excellent potential to find higher grade zones at surface but also at depth. Results from the recently completed Abitibi Geophysics’ DasVision Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey also supports this interpretation. Further data and information on the Tower Stock Gold Project can be found at www.whitemetalres.com.

Highlights from the 2021 Phase 1 drilling program and recently completed IP geophysical survey include:

  • Confirmation of low grade gold mineralization within an intense and pervasive alteration zone, extending over 2 km along strike;

  • Discovery of the Ellen Zone, a new high grade gold zone, reporting 1.7 g/t Au over 82.50 m including 3.0 g/t Au over 45 m (TM-21-94: 10.00 to 92.50 m), and open in all directions;

  • Excellent correlation between the Ellen Zone discovery and priority anomaly “TS-02” from the DasVision IP survey;

  • DasVision IP survey outlined numerous new targets for follow-up prospecting, trenching and drilling;

  • Drill hole TM-21-95 extended the historical Bench Zone to the south by a minimum of 75 metres;

  • Compilation of all historical data and completion of the DasVision IP survey provide excellent drill targets within “gaps” between gold zones that are up to 500 m in strike; and

  • The highly prospective H Zone requires re-mapping and additional drilling to test the new interpretation that this zone dips to the southeast at 50-60 degrees.

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, “I have never seen such an extensive system of gold mineralization covering such a large area. Including the 800+ metre gold zone, we now have approximately 2.1 km of aggregate strike length that will require substantial drilling. Additionally, it should be noted that drill hole TM-07-58, which assayed 5.41 g/t Au over 6 m and is located about 450 m south of drill hole TM-21-95, the most southerly hole of the 2021 drilling program, has not seen any recent work. Therefore, exploration crews will be mobilized later this month to evaluate this area in more detail. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, including detailed prospecting and mapping, but most importantly infill drilling to further explore for the higher grade sections within the principal gold zones. I look forward to reporting our progress to our shareholders when news becomes available”.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has encountered significant widths of low grade gold mineralization (>0.5 g/t Au) in drill hole TM-21-97. This was the last diamond drill hole of the program, designed to test the down-dip and southwest extension of the Bench Zone, returning three broad and separate intervals of gold mineralization (Table 1). These positive results clearly demonstrates that the Bench Zone is open at depth and along strike to the northwest, southwest, and southeast.
 

 
​Drill hole TM-21-97 is located about 400 m southeast of drill hole TM-21-94, which collared in the newly discovered Ellen Zone and returned a broad interval of 1.7 g/t Au over 82.5 metres (from 10.0 to 92.5 m), including 3.0 g/t Au over 45 metres (from 10.00 to 55.00 m) and 59.90 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (from 16.00 to 17.50 m).

Drill hole TM-21-95, located 420 metres southeast of drill hole TM-21-97, exhibits similar alteration and auriferous pyrite mineralization to that observed in TM-21-97 and is believed to be the southeast extension of the Bench Zone. Drill hole TM-21-95 returned two separate gold intervals (Table 2).
 

 
The locations and results from holes TM-21-94 and TM-21-95, suggest a potential strike length and exploration target of >800 m which has received very little exploration attention. The prospectivity of this region is further supported by its spatial association with a strong chargeability anomaly outlined from the recently completed IP survey (see Company news release dated February 17, 2021). The Company is very pleased with the latest round of drill results and firmly believes that there is significant room to expand and discover further resources within the Tower Stock Gold Project, which until now has not seen any exploration activity for more than eight years.

Sample Analysis
Core samples were collected from half-split drill core and delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Thunder Bay, Ontario by the Company. Samples were first analysed with Fire Assay Package 1A1 – Au Fire Assay - INAA – 30 gram sample and Multi Element Package ICP-MS Ultra trace 1. Subsequently, samples with Au greater than 5.0 g/t (above Au detection limit), were analysed with Fire Assay Package 1A3 – AA-Au (Au- Fire Assay Gravimetric) – 30 gram sample. A Quality Control/Quality Assurance (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the regular insertion of Certified Reference Material copper standards and blanks into the sample stream by the Company was in place as was the industry standard internal QA/QC practices used by Actlabs.

A Qualified Person (“QP”) has not done sufficient enough work to verify the historical assay results and technical information reported herein. All drill hole intersections represent drill core lengths (intervals) and are not true widths.

Excerpt from recent Mining MarketWatch Journal review (https://miningmarketwatch.net/whm.htm):

 

Valuation Commentary: White Metal Resources Corp. (TSX-V: WHM) (US Listing: TNMLF) (Frankfurt: CGK1) is a Canadian-based junior explorer mining company that has graduated from a pure project-generator model to now advancing two major projects; 1) its newly optioned Tower Stock Gold Project in Ontario, and 2) its 95%-owned Okohongo Copper-Silver Project in Namibia, in addition to holding an array of other projects.

 

White Metal Resources Corp. appears undervalued relative to inherent latent intrinsic value

 

WHM.V currently has a nominal market cap of ~C$14M (126,724,750 shares trading at ~C$0.11, click here to view a fully diluted schedule of warrants). The share price of WHM.V is apt to appreciate from the current trading price as continued news flow occurs, and as the significance of what White Metal possesses is better appreciated by the market, reflecting the significant growing intrinsic value on its many projects. The Company is positioned this Q2-2021 to aggressively advance its flagship Tower Stock Gold Property in Ontario and its Taranis (Okohongo) Copper-Silver Project in northwestern Namibia, which includes taking the historical mineral resources of the Okohongo Copper-Silver Deposit to NI 43-101 compliance.

 

Transformation of White Metal Resources Corp.: The Company has a lot of moving parts as it also retains a vast portfolio of quality projects (see listing below) from its approach as a project generator. As is often the case with project generators, the sum of the parts is greater than the whole until market awareness kicks-in -- over time if management makes the right moves, cyclical markets cooperate, and geological/exploration success prevails, astute investors can be handsomely rewarded, WHM.V is certainly now at an inflection point. About 3 years ago, when commodities were out of favour, management of WHM.V decided to make a play for advanced copper-silver projects in Namibia -- instantly transforming WHM.V into a company with tonnage in the ground on two copper-silver projects (Okohongo & DorWit). This was a departure from advancing grassroots projects as a project generator. Several years later the opportunity to acquire Tower Stock Gold Project was presented through a contact and as a result this exciting gold project pushed the Namibian copper-silver projects off the front burner and DorWit was optioned-out (see details below, it is a valuable asset that the JV partner is advancing with no risk/cost to WHM.V which retains 25% ownership). Now factor in the other project generator assets of White Metal Resources and the inherent latent intrinsic value of WHM.V is immense.

 

------ ------ ------      ------ ------ ------      ------ ------ ------

 

The following is a synopsis/categorized listing of each project of White Metal Resources, followed by a more detailed look the two major projects White Metal is advancing on its own.

 

Major project #1) Recently Optioned Tower Stock Gold Project located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt ~40km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The project hosts an extensive syenite-associated disseminated gold system, a type similar to deposits in the Kirkland Lake and Malartic gold camps, and the Young-Davidson Mine (Alamos Gold). The project has a historical resource on the UV & Bench zones which has seen historical drilling from the likes of Inco, Noranda, Avalon, and finally ValGold -- previous work over the last 30 years has only scratched the surface (~200 m depths) in select areas along the contact region with the intrusive complex, and many holes ended in target gold mineralization. White Metal's geological team is taking an approach that looks at the big picture multi-million ounce gold potential of the syenite intrusive rock using a modern systematic approach and with an improved understanding. The project is currently wrapping-up a ~4,000 m drilling program on multiple zones (see exploration updates below, the technical team appears dialled-in having discovering a new gold zone right off the bat). The Company is also conducted a DasVision Induced Polarization (IP) survey over exploration targets, the survey was designed to provide insight at depths of +800m to get a handle on structural controls, and allow for 3D inversions and integration into its exploration model. The Company is targeting a ~2 km x 1.5 km area of complex alteration that has incredible gold endowment throughout; multiple occurrences have been discerned with many rock grab samples assaying >1.0g/t Au up to 16.2 g/t Au. There is anomalous gold everywhere; e.g. of 299 samples taken last summer across the project only 5 had no gold, and when >1 g/t Au samples are overlaid across the claim map many untested and underexplored areas are apparent -- White Metal Resources Corp. is highly prospective for major gold discovery.

 

 

Figure 1a. (above) Tower Stock Gold Project past drilling & mineralized zones and inset location map (note the impressive large swaths of quality mineralization; e.g., TM-04-03: 19.5 m of 47.22 g/t Au at 64.5 m, including 1.5 m of 588.89 g/t Au at 73.5 m. The project is in a stable mining-friendly jurisdiction, in a geological greenstone belt setting with proximal past gold producers and several gold deposits, and near the port city of Thunder Bay, surrounded by excellent infrastructure.

 

Exploration updates on Tower Stock Gold Project;

 

See May 13, 2021 Company release entitled White Metal 3D-IP Geophysical Survey Correlates with New Ellen Zone Gold Discovery and Provides Multiple Targets for Phase 2 Drilling Program at Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario; The 3D-IP survey revealed a number of anomalies with the most notable anomaly, TS-02, encompassing the area of the newly discovered Ellen Zone (see Company news release dated April 20, 2021). This anomaly exhibits a broad arcuate shape covering approximately 750 x 300 metres and appears to flank the western edge of the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex (“TMIC”). It can be traced as far north as the southeast end of the U-V Zone and encompasses the A Zone and the Bench Zone to the south and east, respectively. The Ellen Zone appears to flank the western edge of the IP anomaly and results returned from drill hole TM-21-94 and a number of gold-bearing surface samples, suggests a direct correlation with gold mineralization. This anomaly also correlates with a high gold index according to the interpretation completed by Abitibi (Gold Index = (chargeability2 x resistivity) / 1000). The TS-02 anomaly is ranked as a high priority target due to the inclusion and proximity of known gold occurrences and will require extensive surface work and follow up drilling. Another high priority anomaly, TS-04, is located about 300 metres northeast of the eastern end of the U-V Zone, exhibiting a combination of high changeability/resistivity and is traceable for about 1 km to the southeast. The northern extent of the anomaly underlies the area of historical diamond drill hole TM-02-05, completed by ValGold Resources Ltd., which intersected 6.0 metres grading 2.4 g/t Au.

 

The following is a synopsis of Phase 1 drilling highlights, from the Company release dated May 11, 2021 entitled White Metal Expands Bench Zone, Extends Strike Potential to 2.1 km and Plans for Additional Drilling at the Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario; the Company has received the final gold assay results from the Phase 1 2021 winter drilling program. Core assays from the 2021 drilling program clearly indicate the excellent potential for the Tower Stock Gold Project (the” Project” or the “Property”), which in addition to historical core assays show a broad horizon of low grade gold mineralization that spans for over 2.1 kilometres. The Company also sees great potential for high grade gold shoots within the broad intercepts of lower grade gold mineralization, such as those recorded in recently announced drill hole TM-21-94 from the newly discovered Ellen Zone (see Company news release dated April 20, 2021). The Property covers approximately 1,968 hectares and is located about 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

 
​The 2021 winter drilling program has further substantiated the Property’s potential and as a result the Company is planning a follow-up drilling program to further test the large tonnage potential of the low grade gold zones and to determine the extent of prospective higher grade gold zones. It is very important to note that the alteration associated with lower grade gold mineralization is intense, pervasive and shows good continuity, suggesting there is not only excellent potential to find higher grade zones at surface but also at depth. Results from the recently completed Abitibi Geophysics’ DasVision Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey also supports this interpretation. Further data and information on the Tower Stock Gold Project can be found at www.whitemetalres.com.

Highlights from the 2021 Phase 1 drilling program and recently completed IP geophysical survey include:

  • Confirmation of low grade gold mineralization within an intense and pervasive alteration zone, extending over 2 km along strike;

  • Discovery of the Ellen Zone, a new high grade gold zone, reporting 1.7 g/t Au over 82.50 m including 3.0 g/t Au over 45 m (TM-21-94: 10.00 to 92.50 m), and open in all directions;

  • Excellent correlation between the Ellen Zone discovery and priority anomaly “TS-02” from the DasVision IP survey;

  • DasVision IP survey outlined numerous new targets for follow-up prospecting, trenching and drilling;

  • Drill hole TM-21-95 extended the historical Bench Zone to the south by a minimum of 75 metres;

  • Compilation of all historical data and completion of the DasVision IP survey provide excellent drill targets within “gaps” between gold zones that are up to 500 m in strike; and

  • The highly prospective H Zone requires re-mapping and additional drilling to test the new interpretation that this zone dips to the southeast at 50-60 degrees.

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, “I have never seen such an extensive system of gold mineralization covering such a large area. Including the 800+ metre gold zone, we now have approximately 2.1 km of aggregate strike length that will require substantial drilling. Additionally, it should be noted that drill hole TM-07-58, which assayed 5.41 g/t Au over 6 m and is located about 450 m south of drill hole TM-21-95, the most southerly hole of the 2021 drilling program, has not seen any recent work. Therefore, exploration crews will be mobilized later this month to evaluate this area in more detail. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, including detailed prospecting and mapping, but most importantly infill drilling to further explore for the higher grade sections within the principal gold zones. I look forward to reporting our progress to our shareholders when news becomes available”.

  

The following image is from the Company release dated April 20, 2021 entitled White Metal Drills New Gold Zone Discovery Yielding 82.5 Metres of 1.7 g/t Au, Including 45 Metres of 3.0 g/t Au at the Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario. The Company announced a new Zone discovery (called the Ellen Zone) and also reported additional results from diamond drill holes targeting expansion of historical zones and new target areas determined from the fall 2020 prospecting program. The new Ellen Zone gold discovery (hole TM-21-94) is located about 340 metres south of the U-V Zone and about 300 metres north of the Bench Zone. The area of the new discovery has seen no historical drilling and is open in all directions.

 

 

Figure 1b. (above) Location map of new discovery zone, named the 'Ellen Zone', is located in between the main gold zones in an area of no previous drilling. This new new gold zone discovery affirms the technical teams improved understanding of the deposit and potential to build serious gold ounces quickly.

Major project #2) 95%-owned Okahongo (Tarnis Deposit) Copper-Silver Project situated within the Kaoko Belt of northwest Namibia about 700 km northwest of Windhoek, is hosted by metasedimentary stratigraphy and is considered to be analogous with the stratiform sediment-hosted Central African Copperbelt (CAC) deposits of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. White Metal's Okohongo deposit contains historical Inferred Mineral Resources of 10.2 million tonnes grading 1.12% Cu and 17.75 g/t Ag, using a 0.3% Cu cut-off (INV Metals Inc. NI 43-101 Technical Report, Effective Date March 31, 2011). This February-2021 White Metal Resources Inc. completed a 28 hole, 3,622 m drilling program and is now proceeding to bring the historical resource to NI 43-101 compliance and produce a technical report on the Okohongo Cu-Ag Deposit (expected Q2-2021). With both copper and silver now in favour as desirable elements for the modern/future electrical economy, the Taranis Cu-Ag Deposit resource alone justifies a sizeable marketcap for WHM.V beyond the current. The Taranis Deposit is apt to attract suitors looking to option the project from White Metal Resources and take advantage of the large exploration expansion potential to build on the coming resource.

b) Seagull Lake PGE-Cu-Ni Project -- Available for Option: Located approximately 100 km north of the port city of Thunder Bay, about 50 km south of Impala Canada’s Lac des Iles Mine (previously North American Palladium), and about 28 km north of the Clean Air Metals Inc. Cu-Ni-PGE projects, previous discoveries made by Rio Tinto and Panoramic Resources (previously Magma Metals). The Seagull covers the Seagull Lake Intrusion (“SLI”), a 10 km diameter, circular intrusive situated in the Nipigon Plate. The Nipigon Plate area has been compared to the Noril'sk Region of Siberia, Russia, and is considered to be highly prospective for the discovery of new Cu-Ni-PGE deposits. Three styles of PGE mineralization have been identified in the SLI: (1) near surface, PGE-rich detrital “black sands”; (2) magnetite associated, PGE-rich layers or “reef-type”; and, (3) sulphide associated, basal Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization, interpreted as “Noril’sk-type”. Although the detrital and reef-type mineralization was the first style known in the SLI, the discovery of Noril’sk-type Cu-Ni-PGE sulphide mineralization became the focus for subsequent exploration programs, which reported from diamond drilling 3.6 g/t Pt+Pd, 0.34% Cu and 0.21% Ni over 2.1 m and 1.04 g/t Pt+Pd, 0.14% Cu and 0.16% Ni over 16.0 m (from Pettigrew, 2002). The SLI also contains anomalous concentrations of additional platinum group elements rhodium, iridium, osmium, and ruthenium. [click to view related corporate presentation]

Below is a closer look at the two main projects that White Metal Resources is advancing on its own.

 

Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario -- 100%-Owned,

Located in Conmee Township, ~45 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

 

Multi-million ounce gold potential: The Tower Stock Gold System is classified as a syenite-associated disseminated gold deposit type similar to deposits in the Kirkland Lake and Malartic gold camps, and the Young-Davidson Mine (Alamos Gold).

 

Consists of 126 unpatented mining claims and 157 ha of patented lands, covering in total about 1 944 hectares (19.44 square km). [figures are prior to March 15, 2021 land package increase]

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, White Metal has the option to acquire 100% of the Project subject to a 2.5% underlying royalty on some of the claims comprising the Property by issuing to the Optionor 1,200,000 common shares of the Company and making cash payments totalling $145,000 over a period of three (3) years. White Metal increased the size of the land package in October-2020 with the addition of the Lee Patent, strategically located immediately west of the Bench Zone and south of the U-V Gold Deposit to the north and covers the historical “A-Zone”. The land package was yet again increased with the Anderson Patent agreement, and the Nichols Patent agreement.

 

Historical Resource Estimation

 

 

Table 1. (above) Summary of Historical Resource Estimation -- source: Independent Mineral Resource Estimation, Tower Mountain Gold Deposit, ValGold Resources Ltd.; Prepared by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. and Clark Exploration Consulting Inc., Effective February 9, 2006. ​A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. White Metal is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.

 

Additional note regarding the resource: With at least 2 km of potential strike between the U-V Zone gold deposit in the northwest and the last recorded exploration drilling (TM-07-58: 6.0m @ 5.42 g/t Au) to the southeast, the Company believes there is ample opportunity to build high-grade gold resources through in-fill drilling, to expand current mineral resources through drilling, and to make new discoveries.

Major Mineral Deposits in the Area -- Favourable Geology

 

 

Figure 7. (above) Area mineral deposits and historical past producing mines.

 

Geology

 

Gold mineralization occurs in volcanic and sedimentary rocks and syenite intrusive rocks associated with the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex (TMIC).
 
Classified as a syenite-associated disseminated gold deposit type similar to deposits in the Kirkland Lake and Malartic gold camps, and the Young-Davidson Mine (Alamos Gold).
 
Pyrite is the main sulphide mineral and is generally an indication of anomalous levels of gold.
 
Gold mineralization usually controlled by volcanic flows, tuffs and breccias, feldspar porphyries, polymictic conglomerates, syenites and brecciated syenites .
 
Pyrite concentrations from trace-1% to a maximum of 15% and sometimes associated with Quartz-carbonate ± tourmaline veinlets carry substantial amount of pyrite, whereas quartz and tourmaline with concentrations of pyrite can form the matrix of intrusive breccias.

 

Figure 8. (right) Alteration and mineralization from the G Zone of Tower Stock Gold Project. There is very little veining that occurs in Tower Stock gold system, the syenite-associated disseminated gold system is broad, and there is anomalous gold throughout the project.

 

Geological comparisons in terms of potential as these have similar geology to White Metal's Tower Stock Gold Project:

 

Comparison 1) Young Davidson Mine (Alamos Gold)

 

Syenite-hosted Young-Davidson gold deposit is located at the western extension of the Cadillac-Larder-Lake deformation zone (CLLDZ), southwest of Kirkland Lake, in the southern Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada.

Gold predominantly hosted by syenite, and to a lesser extent by Timiskaming sedimentary rocks and mafic volcanic rocks in veins and/or small pervasively altered shear zones.

Underground Resources are ~14.6Mt (Measured and Indicated) at average grade of 2.03 g/t Au.

Underground Reserves of ~39.1Mt (proven and probable) at an average grade of 2.79 g/t Au.

Structurally controlled mineralization present within fault zones within syenite intrusion and adjacent to its margins.

 

Figure 9. (left) Diagram of intrusive at Young Davidson.

Comparison 2) Beattie Gold Deposit

Syenite-associated Beattie Gold Deposit contains Measured and Indicated Resources of 60.9Mt at 1.59 g/t Au and Inferred Resources of 29.7Mt at 1.51 g/t Au – also located in Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

● May 13, 2021: White Metal 3D-IP Geophysical Survey Correlates with New Ellen Zone Gold Discovery and Provides Multiple Targets for Phase 2 Drilling Program at Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario

 

See May 13, 2021 news release:

White Metal 3D-IP Geophysical Survey Correlates with New Ellen Zone Gold Discovery and Provides Multiple Targets for Phase 2 Drilling Program at Tower Stock Gold Project, Ontario

 

Thunder Bay, Ontario, May 13, 2021: White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV:WHM) (“White Metal” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has received the final report in regards to the DasVision 3D Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey completed by Abitibi Geophysics (“Abitibi”) on the Tower Stock Gold Project (the “Property” or the “Project”). The Property, which until now has not seen any exploration activity for more than eight years, is located about 40 km west-northwest of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario and covers approximately 1,968 hectares.

 
​The 3D-IP survey revealed a number of anomalies with the most notable anomaly, TS-02, encompassing the area of the newly discovered Ellen Zone (see Company news release dated April 20, 2021). This anomaly exhibits a broad arcuate shape covering approximately 750 x 300 metres and appears to flank the western edge of the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex (“TMIC”). It can be traced as far north as the southeast end of the U-V Zone and encompasses the A Zone and the Bench Zone to the south and east, respectively. The Ellen Zone appears to flank the western edge of the IP anomaly and results returned from drill hole TM-21-94 and a number of gold-bearing surface samples, suggests a direct correlation with gold mineralization. This anomaly also correlates with a high gold index according to the interpretation completed by Abitibi (Gold Index = (chargeability2 x resistivity) / 1000). The TS-02 anomaly is ranked as a high priority target due to the inclusion and proximity of known gold occurrences and will require extensive surface work and follow up drilling.

 
Another high priority anomaly, TS-04, is located about 300 metres northeast of the eastern end of the U-V Zone, exhibiting a combination of high changeability/resistivity and is traceable for about 1 km to the southeast. The northern extent of the anomaly underlies the area of historical diamond drill hole TM-02-05, completed by ValGold Resources Ltd., which intersected 6.0 metres grading 2.4 g/t Au.

 

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, “We are very pleased with the outcome of the 3D-IP survey, it has added to our already expanding data base and will give us additional targets for follow-up in order to explain the sources of the anomalies. It is particularly exciting to see that one of the anomalies, TS-02, covers the area of the new Ellen Zone and I look forward to following up on this particular anomaly. I am very confident that our exploration work will continue to enhance the Property and advance our understanding of the new and known gold targets within the Tower Stock Gold Project”.

 

In fall 2020, White Metal personnel prospected the Ellen Zone area, which is largely covered by overburden, and returned anomalous gold values in rock grab samples ranging from weakly anomalous (>50 ppb Au) to 1300 ppb Au (1.3 g/t Au). Discovery drill hole TM-21-94 was set up approximately 70 metres west of the surface rock grab samples and drilled in a northeast direction at a 60 degrees dip. The dip and strike of the Ellen Zone is not precisely known but based on historical data and information, it is thought that this zone may strike roughly in a southeast-northwest direction.

This project has been drilled on and off for the last 30 years by past operators, however this 2021 was White Metal Resources maiden drill program since acquiring. White Metal has accomplished a range of objectives to date; got a lay of the land, affirmed theories of some previously untested and underexplored zones resulting in the new Ellen Zone Gold discovery, built on quality intercepts in others, and set the stage for proving the big multi-million ounce potential many experts acknowledge is possible. The 3D-IP has some very exciting targets lined up for Phase 2.

 

It is not uncommon for some of the biggest exploration finds of the past century to have beginnings similar to what White Metal is facing now; most success stories come after a property has changed hands several times, receiving the benefit of keen fresh insight -- click here to see a PDF presentation of how Eskay Creek was discovered via Murray Pezim, after 55 years of past operators.

Namibia and its Mining Sector - In short Namibia is one of the few places in Africa that is considered a safe, stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction.

 

OVERVIEW:
Namibia has a stable multi-party democracy with a history of free elections since independence from South Africa in 1990. The Namibian constitution and its political leaders promote and encourage foreign investment.

 

The country has a well established mining act and an independent legal system. Mining is the largest revenue contributor to Namibia's economy, and is a valued industry by the Namibian government and people.

 

Chamber of Mines for Namibia are well organized and speak for the Industry.

 

Namibia’s mining sector is dominated by the production of uranium, gold, diamonds and lead but exploration and development in copper is growing with companies from Australia, the UK and Canada looking at re-opening of copper mines closed since 2008.

 

Namibia’s Infrastructure
 

City of Windhoek: Capital of Namibia; social, economic, political, and cultural centre of the country.

 

Roadways: From the capital city of Windhoek, the Property is accessed by a paved two lane highway to the town of Opuwo, the nearest population centre. From Opuwo, well-maintained gravel roads (C43 and D3710) lead south along the eastern and western boundaries of EPL 7071.

 

African Copperbelts of Africa and Selected Mines

Central African Copperbelt
 

The Central African Copperbelt (CAC) is the largest and most prolific mineralized sediment-hosted copper province known on Earth.
 

The CAC is host to numerous operating mines and has been worked continuously for the last century.

 

The CAC has been estimated to host over 5 billion tonnes of copper ore with grades up to 4% Cu.

 

Many similarities between the Kaoko Copperbelt and Kalahari Copperbelt in Namibia and the CAC.

 

Ongopolo Mine (Previously the Tsumeb Mine) in Namibia produced about 30 million tons of ore yielding 1.7Mt copper at 4.3% Cu between 1905 and 1996.
