Santa Cecilia - DRILLING FOR DISCOVERY
Gold-Copper Project
Immediately adjacent to Newmont/Barrick’s Norte Abierto project in the Maricunga belt (4th largest undeveloped gold project, globally*)
Torq successfully drilled higher grade mineralization in second drill hole of its inaugural program, intersecting 557 m of 0.38 g/t gold,0.23% copper and 56 ppm molybdenum¹
- Historical intercept: 925 m of 0.21 g/t Au, 0.27% Cu and 82 ppm Mo¹
Multiple undrilled mineralized porphyry targets within 1.5 km of Caspiche
Located 65 km from Copiapo in a world-class IOCG belt
Greenfields IOCG discovery in 2022 (Falla 13): 90 m of 0.94% copper and 0.84 g/t gold² and 98 m of 0.94 g/t gold and 0.68% copper³
Two new discoveries in 2023: 42 m of 1.11 g/t Au, 0.48% Cu³ on new, parallel structure 200 m west of initial Falla 13 discovery 132 m of 0.48% Cu4 in oxide mineralization at Cototuda target
