Torr Metals Inc. (TSX.V: TMET) has announced promising results from its recent induced polarization survey and rock grab sampling at the Bertha Zone within the expansive 332 km2 Kolos Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia. The sampling, conducted at the historical Bertha pit, revealed copper concentrations as high as 16.9% and silver at 8.48 g/t along a 30 m strike, with mineralization extending over 450 m between the Bertha and Bertha South showings, areas previously untouched by drilling. This high-grade copper discovery is situated on the edge of a newly identified IP chargeability anomaly, measuring over 900 m by 500 m, which remains open in several directions.
All six grab samples collected exceeded 1% copper, with four surpassing 3%, indicating the presence of a broad supergene-style blanket near a porphyry core, hosted within the Nicola Group volcanic unit. In addition to these findings, Torr Metals has pinpointed a prime untested porphyry target southeast of the Bertha pit. This target is characterized by overlapping chargeability and resistivity anomalies and a significant hydrothermal alteration footprint, suggesting substantial untapped potential.
The Kolos Copper-Gold Project, 100% owned by Torr Metals, is strategically located just 30 km southeast of the Highland Valley Copper Mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 km south of Kamloops, directly along Highway 5. This location offers the advantage of established infrastructure and accessibility for year-round exploration and development. The discovery of high-grade copper and the identification of an untested porphyry target at Kolos could significantly impact the mining industry, offering new opportunities for copper extraction in a region known for its rich mineral resources.
