Torr Metals has released final assay results from its comprehensive 2023 soil sampling program at the Kolos Project near Merritt, British Columbia, revealing five kilometer-scale mineralized zones within a potential cluster porphyry trend spanning 7 kilometers. The analysis of 3,348 soil samples covering 48 square kilometers demonstrated highly anomalous copper concentrations exceeding 200 parts per million and reaching a maximum of 1175 ppm Cu. According to CEO Malcolm Dorsey, these findings delineate significant mineralized areas including the Rea Zone measuring 1200 by 350 meters and the Clapperton Zone spanning 1000 by 900 meters in the northern sampling grid.
The Clapperton Zone exhibits particularly promising characteristics with highly anomalous copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with Late Triassic intrusions near large-scale intersecting north-south and northwest-southeast shear structures. This geological configuration suggests strong comparison to the nearby Highland Valley Cu-Mo porphyry deposit located approximately 30 kilometers to the northwest. The positive soil sampling results underscore the Kolos Project's potential as a significant mineral resource, with the identified mineralized zones representing substantial targets for further exploration. The project's geological features and mineralization patterns align with established porphyry deposit models in the region.
Torr Metals' exploration program has successfully identified multiple large-scale mineralized areas that warrant advanced investigation. The company's findings provide substantial evidence supporting the Kolos Project's prospectivity for copper and molybdenum mineralization. The identification of these kilometer-scale zones within a 7-kilometer cluster trend represents a significant advancement in understanding the property's mineral potential. These results position Torr Metals to strategically plan future exploration activities aimed at delineating the extent and grade of mineralization across the identified zones.
