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.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華，2024年5月15日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——Koryx銅業公司（“Koryx” 或 “公司”）（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：KRY）宣佈了其位於納米比亞南部的Haib銅業項目當前鑽探計劃的第六批化驗結果。最近三個鑽孔的結果繼續證實，該礦牀可以在已知的歷史資源範圍內在相當寬的寬度上提供高品位。
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總裁兼首席執行官皮埃爾·勒維耶表示： “我們不斷得出非常積極的結果，表明該礦牀的平均品位可能高於之前的礦產資源估算。我們對這些結果非常滿意，這些結果顯然爲存款增加了可觀的價值。 我們預計，2023-2024年鑽探計劃的剩餘8個鑽孔將在四周內得出結果，之後重點將轉移到更新礦產資源估算上。”
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:
此處報告的化驗結果的3個鑽孔代表了2023年至2024年鑽探計劃的676.65米（總計4,861米）。其中兩個孔是在 Pit1 目標區域的中心鑽的，以縮小樣品間距，第三個鑽孔從 1 號礦的西部邊緣向西鑽探，以測試朝向 2 號礦區的礦化情況。重要交叉點的化驗結果如下表所示：

Drillhole Locations (Figure 1)
鑽孔位置（圖 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 位於河流以南，位於 Pit1 目標區域的中心，大約位於河牀南坡的一半。它向西南鑽探是爲了縮小此處確定的近地表高品位區域的樣本間距。
HM18位於與HM09相同的分段線上，位於HM09以北70米處。向東北鑽探是爲了縮小該方向上淺層高品位區域的樣本間距。
HM42 是從 1 號礦坑西部邊緣向西北鑽探的，目的是測試位於 1 號礦和 2 號礦區之間的石英脈附近的品位如何變化。

Discussion about the results
關於結果的討論
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
在整個137.60米的孔中，平均銅品位爲0.49％，HM09的結果非常出色，並且在厚度和等級方面與在Pit1中心鑽出的其他孔洞的相關性良好。其主要目的是縮小Pit1中淺層高品位區域的樣本間距。
HM18
在HM09以北70米處鑽探，結果顯示，與1號礦坑中心相交的淺層礦化在約56米處終止於約20米寬的剪切帶。剪切本身是礦化的，但其底部銅等級受到抑制。但是，從126米處向下穿過一個16米寬的高品位區域，該區域與Pit1淺層礦化帶的下部相關。從HM15獲得了類似的結果，看來存在一個小型的局部斷層塊，這導致了1號坑淺層礦化帶的一部分被移除。
HM42
從1號礦坑的西部邊緣向西北鑽探，整個338.61米的鑽孔平均銅含量爲0.34％。儘管相對零散，但遇到的第一次礦化與1號礦坑的淺層礦化有關。通常，鉬等級非常低。接近石英脈以東的銅品位較低，礦脈中的銅品位顯著增加，整個14.5m石英脈的平均銅含量爲0.8％。在礦脈以西，剩餘的215米的銅品位升高，平均銅含量爲0.36％。值得注意的是，石英脈中的鉬品位仍然很低，但向西的鉬品位顯著增加，8800萬的平均鉬品位爲0.02％，超過3200萬英鎊的平均鉬品位爲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.
從HM42的結果中可以明顯看出，石英脈是一個重要的結構特徵，它分離了至少2個不同的礦化事件。礦脈中銅品位高的存在表明了同生關係，而很明顯，礦脈在後來的礦化事件中已經形成了阻礙鉬運動的屏障。
Drill Program Update
鑽探計劃更新
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月恢復鑽探以來，本次鑽探計劃中的所有26個鑽孔都已完成，總長度爲4,861米。所有洞都經過記錄、採樣並提交給ALS進行化驗，迄今爲止從ALS收到的18個洞（1,825個樣本）的結果。目前，來自ALS的8個鑽孔的化驗結果非常出色。
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.
哈伊布銅礦牀已有18億年的歷史（古元古代），是世界上最古老的斑岩銅類礦牀之一。隨着時間的推移，它經歷了幾次變化，包括剪切和斷層事件，這些變化似乎進一步濃縮了銅和鉬的濃度。在 Pit1 中已經發現了許多這樣的礦化結構。修訂後的鑽探計劃旨在縮小Pit1區域的樣本間距，並更好地描繪這些區域的範圍和等級。
Quality Control
質量控制
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.
所有鑽芯都經過記錄、拍照，並用金剛石鋸切成兩半。一半的岩心被裝袋並送往南非約翰內斯堡的ALS實驗室有限公司進行分析（SANAS認可的測試實驗室，No.T0387），而另一半則分爲四分之一，其中四分之一存檔並存儲在現場以供驗證和參考，另一季度將用於冶金測試工作。電感耦合等離子體（ICP）使用四酸消解法分析了33種元素，並使用30g的火法對黃金進行了分析。每批都包含重複的樣品、空白和認證標準，並積極用於確保適當的質量保證和質量控制。
