Tarku notes the Presence of Orogenic Gold Deposit Style Alteration in its Ongoing Drilling at Apollo

Tarku notes the Presence of Orogenic Gold Deposit Style Alteration in its Ongoing Drilling at Apollo

MONTREAL, November 24, 2022. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU – FRA: 7TK – OTCQB: TRKUF) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased provide shareholders with an update on its ongoing drill program at the Apollo Gold Project, part of the 3As Projects, located in the Matagami area, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The drill program is more than half way through, and the Company is pleased with the geological environment encountered in each of the 5 holes. Assays are pending for all holes but are expected to be received during Q1 2023.

  • Five (5) holes totalizing 1,739m completed to date, the sixth hole is underway.
  • Visual inspection of the core reveals intensive hydrothermal alteration similar in style to Orogenic Gold Deposits, including; hematization, carbonatization and-sericitization.
  • Fine grained disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite are observed over 10 metres to 20 metres intervals.
  • The drill core has now been prepared and sent for assay, with results expected in the first quarter of 2023.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources said: “The completion of the first five holes at the Apollo Gold Project has revealed an extensive hydrothermal system within a strongly deformation corridor across the project area. The visual inspection of the core showed alteration types associated with visible sulfide mineralization within the core, typical of orogenic gold bearing systems and more specifically of iron-rich alkaline and calcitic metasomatic system, such as numerous gold deposit in the Abitibi region and the nearby Detour Lake Gold Mine. We eagerly await the assay results.”

Apollo Drill Program Summary

  • The First Hole (AP-22-001, 408m depth) tested the Eastern edge of the Zone 4 Target (AZ4) corresponding to a high-chargeability anomaly, observed on the flank of a large magnetic anomaly suggesting the presence of mafic intrusion or a group of porphyritic dykes with an east-west orientation. The rocks are highly deformed with a strong schistosity (Picture 1). The hole intersected about 150m of strongly sericitized felsic volcanic tuffs, followed by intermediate to mafic volcanic ash to lapilli tuff sequences (Picture 2) with strong porphyry-style alteration transitioning from hematization-magnetitization to carbonatization-sericitization and strong silicification accompanied by an increase in alteration intensity with downhole depth. Up to 6% pyrite and potentially pyrrhotite (Picture 4) has been describe associated with the intensity of the carbonatization and hematization in places;
  • The Second Hole (AP-22-002, 386m depth) tested the east side of the Zone 1 Target (AZ1) corresponding to an increasing chargeability associated with a decreasing resistivity and a strong magnetic anomaly. The hole intersected syenitic rocks toward the top of the hole and over 100m of pervasive carbonatization, silicification, and hematization associated with disseminated to massive magnetite (Picture 3) with up to 7% pyrite, and potentially pyrrhotite, both finely disseminated. In several meter-long sections, carbonate veinlets are also present with recrystalized pyrite, and potentially pyrrhotite (picture 04).
  • The Third Hole (AP-22-003, 358m depth) also targeted the Zone 1 Target (AZ1) on its western margin corresponding to an increasing chargeability associated with a decreasing resistivity and a strong magnetic anomaly. The hole, which is 100m apart from AP-22-002, intersected similar very long strong pervasive alteration sequences with up to 7% pyrite and potentially pyrrhotite both finely disseminated and recrystalized associated with carbonate veinlets. Presence of magnetite veinlets associated with fine disseminated pyrite. Hole intersected about 8m of syenitic-type intrusion.
  • The Fourth Hole (AP-22-004, 217m depth) tested the Zone 2 Target (AZ2), located about 250m north from Zone 1. The hole intersected more mafic units with 10m long strong porphyry-style alteration transitioning from quartz-carbonate-ankerite to hematization-magnetite associated with up to 5% pyrite very finely disseminated (Picture 5). Epidotization, as well as fuschite have been describe in the hole.
  • The Fifth Hole (AP-22-005, 370m depth) tested the Western edge of the Zone 8 Target corresponding to a high chargeability followed with a strong magnetic susceptibility. Hole intersected same intermediate to mafic volcanic tuffs (Picture 6) weakly to moderately altered until the presence of several meter wide syenitic intrusions. The 100m wide section is strongly altered with pervasive silicification altering with moderate to intense meter wide sections of hematization associated with disseminated to massive magnetite and up to 5% disseminated pyrite. The hole section is regularly crosscut by quartz-carbonate and pyrite veinlets stockwork.

About the 3As project

The Apollo Project is part of the 100%-owned, 3 As projects (Apollo, Atlas, Admiral), and is located adjacent and to the north of the Atlas Project. It consists of 69 claims (3,775 ha, or 37.7 km2) centred on the Rivière Waswanipi Shear Zone (RWSZ). Collectively, the 3 As projects consists of 217 claims covering 130 km2 in prolific area.

The 3 As projects were acquire in 2016, as Tarku staked open ground, based on a detailed data compilation exercise in the region, this process also took into account the historical zinc mining district of Matagami (4.6 Mt Zn and 0.494 Mt Cu from 1960 to 2004) and the overlooked potential for gold mineralization.

These studies suggested that the regional shear zone was the eastern extension of the Sunday Lake Fault, which host’s the 15 Moz Au Detour Lake Mine and the Kirkland Lake Mining Camp, which historically produced over 50 million ounces of gold. Similar to the Sunday Lake Fault the RWSZ is characterized by the presence of alkaline rocks, polygenic conglomerates (Timiskaming type) and porphyry intrusions bearing anomalous gold values on the order of hundreds of parts per billion (GM 52712).

Along the same regional structure, other explorers, such as Maple Gold, Balmoral and Midland Exploration, have returned exciting drill results and demonstrated the strong gold potential of the area.

MONTREAL, October 25, 2022. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU – FRA: 7TK – OTCQB: TRKUF) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at the Apollo Gold Project, part of the 3As Projects, located in the Matagami area, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec.

  • First drill hole now underway as part of the 3,000 to 3,500 metres diamond drill program, testing six (6) of the nine (9) high-priority Target Zones that cover a total strike length of 5.35km.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources said: “The commencement of drilling at the Apollo Gold Project is an exciting moment for Tarku and our shareholders. We have been working and accumulating geological knowledge on this never drilled sector of the Sunday Lake Fault, host of the Detour Lake Mine, since 2016. Drilling is targeting orogenic-style gold mineralization, for which drill results of between 0.5 and 1g/t Au over several metres are typical and would be considered very encouraging for the future of this project.  We anticipate that we will receive the first set of results before the end of the year and the final set of results before the end of Q1 2023.”

MONTREAL, September 28, 2022. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU – FRA: 7TK – OTCQB: TRKUF) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce that it has received the required permits for it to commence drilling at the Apollo Gold Project, part of the 3As Projects, located in the Matagami area, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec.

  • Receipt of permits paves the way for drilling to commence in October 2022.
  • Initial program of 3,000 to 3,500 meters of diamond drilling planned.
  • Drilling to initially test six (6) of the nine (9) high-priority Target Zones defined in the May 26, 2022, release.
  • The first six targets will be AZ-1, AZ-2, AZ-4, AZ-5, AZ-6 and AZ-8, but the program may be expanded to test other targets depending on results.
  • The nine Target Zones cover a total strike length of 5.35km.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources said: “While the Apollo Project was drilled historically more to the South, the majority of those holes did not test the recently defined chargeability anomalies. Encouragingly, two historic drill holes were completed on the edges of two of the nine anomalies, and both returned gold bearing intercepts. We now have the opportunity to better understand the geology of the area and to test the most prospective areas of this exciting project and we look forward to reporting the first set of results before the end of the year. The final set of results are expected to be received before the end of Q1 2023.”

About the Apollo project

The Apollo Project is part of the 100%-owned by Tarku 3As project (Apollo, Atlas, Admiral) and is located adjacent and to the north of its Atlas Project. It consists of 69 claims (3,775 ha) centred on the Rivière Waswanipi ductile shear zone. Last IP survey conducted during last winter, allows Tarku to refine and generate high-priority drill targets, over the priority area of the Rivière Waswanipi Shear Zone, which Tarku interprets as being the east extension the regional Sunday Lake Fault, host of the Detour Lake Gold Mine or the Kirkland Lake Gold Mining Camp.

Those high-priority drill targets will be the host of Tarku next drill program, starting October 2022.

MONTREAL, August 3rd, 2022. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU – FRA: 7TK – OTCQB: TRKUF) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce the results of a sampling campaign completed at the historic Solstice Mine, within the 100% owned Silver Strike Project, located in the Tombstone Mining District Cochise County, Arizona.

Highlights:

  • 552.5 g/t Ag Eq, including 482 g/t Ag and 1% lead-zinc combined
  • 407.3 g/t Ag Eq, including 353 g/t Ag and 0.7% lead-zinc combined
  • 358.2 g/t Ag Eq, including 280 g/t Ag and 1.6% lead-zinc combined
  • 354.3 g/t Ag Eq, including 187 g/t Ag and 2.3% lead-zinc combined
  • 303.1 g/t Ag Eq, including 244 g/t Ag and 1.1% lead-zinc combined

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources said: As more high-grade results continue to roll in from our Silver Strike Project, the Solstice Zone has given us results that fully justify further exploration. The samples have demonstrated that the remaining silver content is more substantial than we expected, and that the interception of the conjugate veins sets controls higher-grade zones. These intersections form high-grade ore shoots within breccias and stockworks, that remain open at depth, and control the distribution of high-grade silver-lead-zinc-manganese mineralization at the Solstice Zone. This new information will be critical as we finalise targeting for the upcoming are 6,000m drill program.

Solstice Area:

The assay results come from grab and chip samples taken in June 2022 during managements site visit to the project. Samples were taken to test different areas along the Solstice exploration adit, opened during the 1990’s, which aimed to explore the veins around the historic Solstice Mine. Tarku’s program focused on the enrichment associated with the intersection of two veining systems (N030 and N090) that create cigar shaped ore shoots, which dip steeply to the northwest (see figure below). These enriched zones were historically worked at the Solstice Mine until 240 feet where they hit the water table. According to Tarku’s results, background silver content in a single vein appears to grade between 10 and 90g/t silver (or 0.3 to 3 oz/t silver), while the ore shoots contain silver grades between 180 and 482 g/t silver (or 6 to 15 oz/t silver).

According to historical compilation, the Solstice Mine has been sporadically worked from a vertical shaft between 1914 and 1940 producing 475 tons of ore containing 20,761 oz of Ag, 107 oz of Au, 841 lb of Cu and 133,865 lb of Pb. During those years the historic miners biggest challenge remained the water table around 240 feet below surface opening today’s potential for substantial mineralization at depth.

Tarku’s focus during the next drill program at the Solstice area will be to test the depth continuity of those ore shoots and to demonstrate the stability of the mineralization high-grade values.

Tarku’s Completes Site Visit to its Silver Strike, Arizona

Tarku’s Completes Site Visit to its Silver Strike, Arizona

private placementDownload PDF version   |   View all documents on Sedar

MONTREAL, June 28, 2022. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU – FRA: 7TK – OTCQB: TRKUF) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce its Chairman, Bernard Lapointe, President and CEO, Julien Davy, and a team of consultants has completed a site visit to the 100% owned Silver Strike Project, located in the Tombstone Mining District Cochise County, Arizona.

The site visit focused on validating and ground truthing the results of Tarku’s 2021 drill program and the recently completed geophysical campaigns, concentrating on the Lucky Cuss, the Ground Hog and Solstice Targets.

  • At the Ground Hog Target, work was undertaken to improve the Company’s understanding of the Mantos type mineralization discovered at the contact between the Nacos and the Bisbee Limestones, during last drill program.
  • This Target is a newly discovered mineralized zone that was never worked historically and returned 48g/t AgEq over 7.6 m at a depth of 150 m below the surface and 2,447 g/t AgEq on a grab sample on surface (see August 10, 2021 press release)
  • At the Solstice Target, work focused on the definition of the conjugate veining system (N030 and N090) and the associated enrichment in silver and manganese mineralization associated with coalescence of the two vein systems, where the mineralized zones can be up to 6m (true width).
  • Samples of this remnant mineralisation have sent for assays with results expected in early-Q3 2022.
  • The multi-mineral potential, coherent with the Carbonate Replacement Deposit model (CRD model), is now well defined at Silver Strike as demonstrated by Tarku’s high-grade drill and grab samples, rich in in Silver, Gold, Copper, Lead, Zinc and Manganese, validating historical mineral variations that was previously misunderstood.
  • 6,000m drill program testing these exciting targets remains on target to commence this year.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources said: “The site visit to Silver Strike with a team of geologists and a GIS specialist has allowed us to further assess the implications of the recently completed program of drilling and geophysics. Our interpretation of the results of this work is ongoing and we will update the market further in due coarse. Historical mining in the area left a lot of mineralisation behind for several reasons as technical issues or commodity prices too low. Our work will all feed into our targeting work ahead of are 6,000m drill program due to commence this year.”
