DLP Resources Confirms Extension of Copper, Silver and Molybdenum Mineralization to NE of Aurora Drilling with Values of up to 2.25% Cu and 195g/t Ag and 182ppm Mo in Rock Samples

In This Article:

Cranbrook, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 8, 2024) - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) ("DLP" or the "Company") announces receipt of complete rock sampling results for the area immediately NE of the current drilling at the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum project in southern Peru (Figure 1).

Results for 40 rock samples taken to the NE of the DLP drilling identified an area of anomalous Cu, Mo and Ag extending over approximately 700m x 500m (See Figures 2, 3 and 4). This area also overlies a similar magnetic anomaly that underlies the main porphyry area.

Highlights

  1. Rock chip sample 1062 returned 2.25% Cu and 195g/t Ag. This sample was taken from a moderately silicified and brecciated hornfels with mineralization consisting of pyrite-chalcopyrite-covellite-chalcocite and copper oxides. Sampling was done over a surface area of 10m x 10m.

  2. Further rock chip samples with highly anomalous Cu, Ag and/or Mo results included:

    • Sample 1084 - 1.5150% Cu, 5.53g/t Ag and 1.01ppm Mo

    • Sample 1060 - 0.2680% Cu, 2.09g/t Ag and 74.3ppm Mo

    • Sample 1065 - 0.0527% Cu, 2.28g/t Ag and 137ppm Mo

    • Sample 1067 - 0.0095% Cu, 0.79g/t Ag and 53.1ppm Mo

    • Sample 1074 - 0.3440% Cu, 5.56g/t Ag and 1.78ppm Mo

    • Sample 1075 - 0.1300% Cu, 0.13g/t Ag and 4.86ppm Mo

    • Sample 1078 - 0.1880% Cu, 4.77g/t Ag and 5.59ppm Mo

    • Sample 1086 - 0.1205% Cu, 4.61g/t Ag and 1.23ppm Mo

    • Sample 1099 - 0.0077% Cu, 0.29g/t Ag and 182ppm Mo

See Table 1 for the full set of results for the rock chip samples.

Mr. Gendall, President and CEO, commented: "We are very encouraged with the results from rock sampling to the NE of the current drilling of 2023. Anomalous Cu, Mo and Ag in rocks has identified an extension of at least 700m x 500m to the NE and SE which we will expand drilling into in 2024."
