Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE:
P2QM) (“Eloro”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
assay results from two (2) additional diamond drill holes from its
on-going drilling program at the Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic
project in the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia. One drill hole,
DSB-36, collared 400m southeast of the Santa Barbara adit, tested
the extension of the core of the high-grade feeder zone at Santa
Barbara while hole DSB-34, tested the potential southwest limits of
the high-grade feeder zone as shown in Figure 1.
To-date, the Company has completed
79,258m in 118 drill holes
to-date at Iska Iska, including four holes in progress, as shown in
Figure 1. Table 1 lists significant assay results for the drill
holes reported. Prices used for calculating Ag equivalent grades
are as outlined in Eloro’s July 21, 2022 press release. Table 2
summarizes drill holes completed with assays pending and holes in
progress.
Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro, said: “Results from
hole DSB-36 continue to confirm that the high-grade feeder zone
extends much further south-southeast across the valley of the Iska
Iska caldera as interpreted from our geophysical surveys. This new
hole has extended the strike length a further 400m to the
south-southeast where it remains open along strike. We are
continuing to aggressively drill this important target which has
the potential to outline a significant open pittable resource.”
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Eloro’s Executive Vice
President, Exploration commented: “We are continuing to carry out
our 100m-spaced sectional drilling across the Iska Iska caldera
valley. As shown in Figure 2, we have four holes in progress with
four additional holes planned that collectively total 6,000m to
complete our first-pass definition drill program. We expect that
this drilling will be completed by the mid- to latter part of
November. Currently, assays are outstanding for approximately
14,213m of drill core as shown in Table 2. Turnaround from our
assay laboratories has however improved in recent weeks so we
expect most of this backlog to be cleared up by the end of
November. We are working closely with Micon International to build
a robust model for the mineral resource estimation. GeologicAI is
also completing development of comprehensive mineral maps
calibrated by our new mineralogical data which will greatly aid the
modelling process.”
Santa Barbara High Grade Feeder Zone
Extension Definition Drilling
Hole DSB-36 was drilled to test
the potential south-southeastern extension of the Santa Barbara
High Grade Feeder Zone shown in Figure 1. This hole was collared
approximately 400m south-southeast of the underground drill bay in
the Santa Barbara adit and was drilled at an azimuth of
225° with a dip of -60°. This hole intersected many
significant intersections including:
- 108.16 g Ag eq/t (11.63 g
Ag/t, 1.53% Zn and 0.36% Pb) over 111.26m from 326.22 to
437.48m with higher-grade portions of:
- 180.29 g Ag eq/t (24.27 g
Ag/t, 2.49% Zn and 0.73% Pb) over 24.13m.
- 197.54 g Ag eq/t (17.04 g
Ag/t, 2.96% Zn and 0.58% Pb) over 11.82m.
- 211.34 g Ag eq/t (30.50 g
Ag/t, 2.87% Zn and 0.76% Pb) over 6.02m.
- 101.31 g Ag eq/t (28.14 g
Ag/t, 0.19% Zn, 0.55% Pb and 0.26% Cu) over 77.82m from
3.70m to 81.52m.
- 101.47 g Ag eq/t (23.88 g
Ag/t, 1.08% Zn and 0.56% Pb) over 55.54m from 207.34 to
262.88m.
- 205.75 g Ag eq/t (20.69 g
Ag/t, 0.15 g Au/t, 0.68% Zn and 0.75% Pb) over 22.75m from
619.88m to 642.63m.
- 136.82 g Ag eq/t (3.33 g
Ag/t, 0.09 gAu/t, 1.72% Zn, 0.31% Pb and 0.07% Sn) over
78.39m from 776.87m to 855.26m including:
- 478.26 g Ag eq/t (12.60 g
Ag/t, 0.27 gAu/t, 5.61% Zn, 0.91% Pb and 0.28% Sn over
10.53m from 805.52m to 816.05m.

- The last sample in this
935.4m long hole returned 549.91g Ag eq/t
(46.00 g Ag/t, 3.33% Zn, 2.27% Pb and 0.68% Sn) over 1.51m
from 933.89m to 935.40m.
- 52% of this hole
contained reportable intersections which collectively averaged
112.48 g Ag eq/t
Hole DSB-34 was drilled at an
azimuth of 225° with a dip of -60° and was collared
approximately 200m due south of the Santa Barbara adit to test the
potential southwest limit of the high-grade feeder zone (Figure 1).
This hole intersected several wide lower grade intersections in the
upper part of the hole which are notable for their silver content
in the absence of appreciable base metals. In the lower part of the
hole, base metals are again present including tin and copper.

Note: True width of the
mineralization is not known at the present time, but based on the
current understanding of the relationship between drill
orientation/inclination and the mineralization within the breccia
pipes and the host rocks such as sandstones and dacites, it is
estimated that true width ranges between 70% and 90% of the down
hole interval length but this will be confirmed by further drilling
and geological modelling.
Chemical symbols: Ag= silver, Au = gold, Zn =
zinc, Pb = lead, Cu = copper, Sn = tin, Bi = bismuth, Cd = cadmium
and g Ag eq/t = grams silver equivalent per tonne. Quantities are
given in percent (%) for Zn, Pb Cu, Sn, Bi and Cd and in grams per
tonne (g/t) for Ag, Au and Ag eq.
Metal prices and conversion factors used for
calculation of g Ag eq/t (grams Ag per grams x metal ratio) are as

In calculating the intersections reported in
this press release a sample cutoff of 30 g Ag eq/t was used with
generally a maximum dilution of 3 continuous samples below cutoff
included within a mineralized section unless more dilution is
justified geologically.
The equivalent grade calculations are based on
the stated metal prices and are provided for comparative purposes
only, due to the polymetallic nature of the deposit. Metallurgical
tests are in progress by Blue Coast Ltd. to establish levels of
recovery for each element reported but currently the potential
recovery for each element has not yet been established. While there
is no assurance that all or any of the reported concentrations of
metals will be recoverable, Bolivia has a long history of
successfully mining and processing similar polymetallic deposits
which is well documented in the landmark volume “Yacimientos
Metaliferos de Bolivia” by Dr. Osvaldo R. Arce Burgoa, P.Geo.

in 118 drill holes (32 underground drill holes and 86 surface drill
holes) including 4 holes in progress.
Qualified Person
Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P. Geo., General Manager of
Eloro’s Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Tupiza S.R.L., and a Qualified
Person in the context of NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the
technical content of this news release. Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo.,
Executive Vice President Exploration Eloro, and who has more than
45 years of worldwide mining exploration experience, including
extensive work in South America, manages the overall technical
program, working closely with Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo. Dr. Quinton
Hennigh, P.Geo., Senior Technical Advisor to Eloro and Independent
Technical Advisor, Mr. Charley Murahwi P. Geo., FAusIMM of Micon
are regularly consulted on technical aspects of the project.
Eloro is utilizing both ALS and AHK for drill
core analysis, both of whom are major international accredited
laboratories. Drill samples sent to ALS are prepared in both
ALS Bolivia Ltda’s preparation facility in Oruro, Bolivia and
the preparation facility operated by AHK in Tupiza with pulps sent
to the main ALS Global laboratory in Lima for analysis. More
recently Eloro has had ALS send pulps to their laboratory at Galway
in Ireland. Eloro employs an industry standard QA/QC program with
standards, blanks and duplicates inserted into each batch of
samples analyzed with selected check samples sent to a separate
accredited laboratory.
Drill core samples sent to AHK Laboratories are
prepared in a preparation facility installed and managed by AHK in
Tupiza with pulps sent to the AHK laboratory in Lima, Peru. Au and
Sn analysis on these samples is done by ALS Bolivia Ltda in Lima.
Check samples between ALS and AHK are regularly done as a QA/QC
check. AHK is following the same analytical protocols used as with
ALS and with the same QA/QC protocols. Turnaround time continues to
improve, as laboratories return to more normal staffing levels.
About Iska Iska
Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project is a
road accessible, royalty-free property, wholly controlled by the
Title Holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. and is located 48 km
north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department
of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Eloro has an option to earn a 99%
interest in Iska Iska.
Iska Iska is a major silver-tin polymetallic
porphyry-epithermal complex associated with a Miocene possibly
collapsed/resurgent caldera, emplaced on Ordovician age rocks with
major breccia pipes, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. The
caldera is 1.6km by 1.8km in dimension with a vertical extent of at
least 1km. Mineralization age is similar to Cerro Rico de Potosí
and other major deposits such as San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna and
Tatasi located in the same geological trend.
Eloro began underground diamond drilling from
the Huayra Kasa underground workings at Iska Iska on September 13,
2020. On November 18, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of a
significant breccia pipe with extensive silver polymetallic
mineralization just east of the Huayra Kasa underground workings
and a high-grade gold-bismuth zone in the underground workings. On
November 24, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of the SBBP
approximately 150m southwest of the Huayra Kasa underground
workings.
Subsequently, on January 26, 2021, Eloro
announced significant results from the first drilling at the SBBP
including the discovery hole DHK-15 which returned 129.60 g Ag eq/t
over 257.5m (29.53g Ag/t, 0.078g Au/t, 1.45%Zn, 0.59%Pb, 0.080%Cu,
0.056%Sn, 0.0022%In and 0.0064% Bi from 0.0m to 257.5m. Subsequent
drilling has confirmed significant values of Ag-Sn polymetallic
mineralization in the SBBP and the adjacent CBP. A substantive
mineralized envelope which is open along strike and down-dip
extends around both major breccia pipes. Continuous channel
sampling of the Santa Barbara Adit located to the east of SBBP
returned 442 g Ag eq/t (164.96 g Ag/t, 0.46%Sn, 3.46% Pb and 0.14%
Cu) over 166m including 1,092 g Ag eq/t (446 g Ag/t, 9.03% Pb and
1.16% Sn) over 56.19m. The west end of the adit intersects the end
of the SBBP.
Since the initial discovery hole, Eloro has
released a number of significant drill results in the SBBP and the
surrounding mineralized envelope which along with geophysical data
has defined an extensive target zone. In its September 20, 2022
press release, the Company reported that new downhole geophysical
data has significantly extended the strike length of the high-grade
feeder zone at Santa Barbara a further 250m along strike to the
south-southeast from existing drilling. The 3D inverse magnetic
model which correlates very strongly with the conductive zone
suggests that the high-grade feeder zone may extend across the
entire caldera for as much as a further 1 km along strike for a
total potential strike length of at least 2 km. As reported, the
definition drill program has been modified to sectionally drill
this potential extension with the intention of defining a major
open pittable deposit in the valley of the caldera. As a result,
the estimated completion date for the maiden National Instrument
43-101 mineral resource has been pushed back to the end of Q1
2023.
