VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koryx Copper Inc. ("Koryx" or "the Company") (TSX-V: KRY) announces the sixth batch of assay results from the current drill program at its Haib Copper project in southern Namibia. The results from the latest three drill holes continue to confirm that the deposit can deliver high grades over substantial widths within the known historical resource.
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华，2024年5月15日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——Koryx铜业公司（“Koryx” 或 “公司”）（多伦多证券交易所股票代码：KRY）宣布了其位于纳米比亚南部的Haib铜业项目当前钻探计划的第六批化验结果。最近三个钻孔的结果继续证实，该矿床可以在已知的历史资源范围内在相当宽的宽度上提供高品位。
Pierre Léveillé, President & CEO of Koryx stated that: "We keep generating very positive results that demonstrate that the average grade of the deposit could be higher than the previous Mineral Resource Estimate. We are highly satisfied with those results which clearly add significant value to the deposit. We expect the results of the remaining 8 drillholes from the 2023-2024 drill program within four weeks, after which the focus will shift to updating the Mineral Resource Estimation."
Koryx总裁兼首席执行官皮埃尔·勒维耶表示： “我们不断得出非常积极的结果，表明该矿床的平均品位可能高于之前的矿产资源估算。我们对这些结果非常满意，这些结果显然为存款增加了可观的价值。 我们预计，2023-2024年钻探计划的剩余8个钻孔将在四周内得出结果，之后重点将转移到更新矿产资源估算上。”
The 3 holes for which assay results are reported here, represent 676.65 meters of the 2023 – 2024 drill program (total 4,861 meters). Two of the holes were drilled in the centre of the Pit1 target area to close the sample spacing while the third was drilled westwards from the western edge of Pit 1 to test mineralisation towards the Pit 2 area. Assay results of significant intersections are tabulated below:
此处报告的化验结果的3个钻孔代表了2023年至2024年钻探计划的676.65米（总计4,861米）。其中两个孔是在 Pit1 目标区域的中心钻的，以缩小样品间距，第三个钻孔从 1 号矿的西部边缘向西钻探，以测试朝向 2 号矿区的矿化情况。重要交叉点的化验结果如下表所示：

钻孔位置（图 1）
HM09 is located south of the river in the centre of the Pit1 target area, approximately halfway up the southern slope of the riverbed. It was drilled southwestwards to close the sample spacing of the near-surface high grade zone identified here.
HM18 was positioned on the same section line as and 70m north of HM09. It was drilled northeastwards to close the sample spacing of the shallow high-grade zone in this direction.
HM42 was drilled northwestwards from the western edge of Pit1 to test how grades vary adjacent to the quartz vein that occurs between the Pit 1 and Pit 2 areas.
HM09 位于河流以南，位于 Pit1 目标区域的中心，大约位于河床南坡的一半。它向西南钻探是为了缩小此处确定的近地表高品位区域的样本间距。
HM18位于与HM09相同的分段线上，位于HM09以北70米处。向东北钻探是为了缩小该方向上浅层高品位区域的样本间距。
HM42 是从 1 号矿坑西部边缘向西北钻探的，目的是测试位于 1 号矿和 2 号矿区之间的石英脉附近的品位如何变化。

Discussion about the results
关于结果的讨论
HM09
With an average Cu grade of 0.49% for the entire 137.60m of the hole, results for HM09 were excellent and correlated well in terms of thickness and grades with other holes drilled in the centre of Pit1. Its primary purpose was to close the sample spacing of the shallow high-grade zone in Pit1.
HM18
Drilled 70m north of HM09, results show that the shallow mineralization intersected in the centre of Pit1 terminates at about 56m at a shear zone ~20m wide. The shear itself is mineralized but from its footwall Cu grades are suppressed. However, a 16m wide high- grade zone was intersected further down the hole from 126m which correlates with the lower portion of the Pit1 shallow mineralized zone. Similar results were received from HM15 and it appears that a small, localized fault block exists which has resulted in the removal of a portion of the Pit 1 shallow mineralized zone.
HM42
Drilled northwestwards from the western edge of Pit1, the entire 338.61m of the hole averages 0.34% Cu. Although relatively patchy, the first mineralization encountered correlates with the shallow mineralization in Pit 1. Typically, Mo grades are very low. Cu grades are low approaching the east of the quartz vein and increase significantly in the vein, averaging 0.8% Cu for the full 14.5m of the quartz vein. To the west of the vein, Cu grades are elevated averaging 0.36% Cu for the remaining 215m of the hole. Significantly, Mo grades remain low through the quartz vein but increase significantly to the west, averaging 0.02% Mo for 88m and 0.04% over 32m.
HM09
在整个137.60米的孔中，平均铜品位为0.49％，HM09的结果非常出色，并且在厚度和等级方面与在Pit1中心钻出的其他孔洞的相关性良好。其主要目的是缩小Pit1中浅层高品位区域的样本间距。
HM18
在HM09以北70米处钻探，结果显示，与1号矿坑中心相交的浅层矿化在约56米处终止于约20米宽的剪切带。剪切本身是矿化的，但其底部铜等级受到抑制。但是，从126米处向下穿过一个16米宽的高品位区域，该区域与Pit1浅层矿化带的下部相关。从HM15获得了类似的结果，看来存在一个小型的局部断层块，这导致了1号坑浅层矿化带的一部分被移除。
HM42
从1号矿坑的西部边缘向西北钻探，整个338.61米的钻孔平均铜含量为0.34％。尽管相对零散，但遇到的第一次矿化与1号矿坑的浅层矿化有关。通常，钼等级非常低。接近石英脉以东的铜品位较低，矿脉中的铜品位显著增加，整个14.5m石英脉的平均铜含量为0.8％。在矿脉以西，剩余的215米的铜品位升高，平均铜含量为0.36％。值得注意的是，石英脉中的钼品位仍然很低，但向西的钼品位显著增加，8800万的平均钼品位为0.02％，超过3200万英镑的平均钼品位为0.04％。
It is clear from the results for HM42 that the quartz vein is an important structural feature, separating at least 2 distinct mineralization events. The presence of high Cu grades in the vein point to a syngenetic relationship, while it is clear the vein has formed a barrier to the movement of Mo during a later mineralizing event.
从HM42的结果中可以明显看出，石英脉是一个重要的结构特征，它分离了至少2个不同的矿化事件。矿脉中铜品位高的存在表明了同生关系，而很明显，矿脉在后来的矿化事件中已经形成了阻碍钼运动的屏障。
Drill Program Update
钻探计划更新
Since the resumption of drilling in October 2023, all 26 of the planned holes of this campaign have been completed totaling 4,861 meters. All holes have been logged, sampled and submitted to ALS for assaying with the results of 18 holes (1,825 samples) received to date from ALS. Currently the assay results for 8 drillholes from ALS are outstanding.
自2023年10月恢复钻探以来，本次钻探计划中的所有26个钻孔都已完成，总长度为4,861米。所有洞都经过记录、采样并提交给ALS进行化验，迄今为止从ALS收到的18个洞（1,825个样本）的结果。目前，来自ALS的8个钻孔的化验结果非常出色。
At 1.8 billion years old (Paleoproterozoic), the Haib Copper Deposit is one of the oldest porphyry copper style deposits in the world. Over time, it has seen several transformations including shearing and faulting events that appear to have further concentrated Cu and Mo. A number of these mineralized structures have been identified in the Pit1. The revised drill program looks to close the sample spacing in the Pit1 area and better delineate the extent and grades of these.
哈伊布铜矿床已有18亿年的历史（古元古代），是世界上最古老的斑岩铜类矿床之一。随着时间的推移，它经历了几次变化，包括剪切和断层事件，这些变化似乎进一步浓缩了铜和钼的浓度。在 Pit1 中已经发现了许多这样的矿化结构。修订后的钻探计划旨在缩小Pit1区域的样本间距，并更好地描绘这些区域的范围和等级。
Quality Control
质量控制
All drill cores were logged, photographed, and cut in half with a diamond saw. Half of the cores were bagged and sent to ALS Laboratories Ltd. in Johannesburg, South Africa for analysis (SANAS Accredited Testing Laboratory, No. T0387), while the other half was quartered with one quarter archived and stored on site for verification and reference purposes and the other quarter will be used for metallurgical test work. 33 elements are analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) utilizing a 4-acid digestion and gold is assayed using a 30g fire assay method. Duplicate samples, blanks, and certified standards are included with every batch and are actively used to ensure proper quality assurance and quality control.
所有钻芯都经过记录、拍照，并用金刚石锯切成两半。一半的岩心被装袋并送往南非约翰内斯堡的ALS实验室有限公司进行分析（SANAS认可的测试实验室，No.T0387），而另一半则分为四分之一，其中四分之一存档并存储在现场以供验证和参考，另一季度将用于冶金测试工作。电感耦合等离子体（ICP）使用四酸消解法分析了33种元素，并使用30g的火法对黄金进行了分析。每批都包含重复的样品、空白和认证标准，并积极用于确保适当的质量保证和质量控制。
Please note that: Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates are based on Indicated Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. However, there is no certainty that these indicated mineral resources will be converted to measured categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied. There is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
请注意： 非矿产储量的矿产资源没有显示出经济可行性。矿产资源估算不考虑可开采性、选择性、采矿损失和稀释。这些矿产资源估算基于 在地质学上被认为过于投机性的特定矿产资源，无法将其归类为矿产储量的经济考虑。 但是，不确定这些指示的矿产资源是否会通过进一步钻探转化为可测量的类别，或者一旦考虑到经济因素，也无法确定这些矿产资源是否会转化为矿产储量。 不确定初步经济评估能否实现。
