Mineral Vector, Deep IP and Pyrophylite Alteration
礦物載體、深部激電與葉蠟石蝕變

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Azucar Minerals Ltd. ("Azucar" or the "Company") (TSX-V: AMZ; OTCQX: AXDDF) is pleased to announce the results of a recently completed mineral chemistry porphyry vectoring study which has identified a new target area for a possible central porphyry system to the El Cobre project. The Company also wishes to update shareholders on the now-completed summer drill program.

温哥華,不列顛哥倫比亞省,2021年11月4日(Global Newswire)--Azucar Minerals Ltd.(以下簡稱“Azucar”或“公司”)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:AMZ;OTCQX:AXDDF)高興地宣佈了最近完成的一項礦物化學斑巖矢量化研究的結果,該研究為El Cobre項目確定了一個可能的中心斑巖系統的新目標區。該公司還希望向股東通報已經完成的夏季演習計劃的最新情況。

  • Mineral vectoring study was completed at the CODES Analytical Laboratory of the University of Tasmania and utilized chlorite and epidote samples collected from the El Cobre project earlier this year;
  • Published studies show the effectiveness of this method around the world such as at the giant El Teniente Chile, Resolution, Arizona and Batu Hijau, Indonesia porphyry systems;
  • Study indicates that the El Cobre district likely contains a fertile medium to large sized porphyry system;
  • Most prospective area is located in the centre of the project where there has been little previous exploration drilling;
  • This area coincides with a deep IP geophysical anomaly which does not crop out, within an area of moderate magnetic response. The deep IP anomaly is the deep core to the broad near surface anomaly which encompasses all the currently known areas of porphyry mineralisation on the project;
  • The area also overlaps with a large area of mapped pyrophyllite, an alteration mineral often observed overlying porphyry copper-gold mineralisation;
  • Field work underway to prepare for future drilling campaign.
  • 礦物矢量化研究在塔斯馬尼亞大學的CODS分析實驗室完成,並利用今年早些時候從El Cobre項目收集的綠泥石和綠簾石樣本;
  • 已發表的研究表明,這種方法在世界各地都是有效的,例如在亞利桑那州的埃爾特尼恩特(El Teniente)智利巨型斑巖系統和印度尼西亞的巴圖·希焦島(Batu Hijau)斑巖系統;
  • 研究表明,埃爾科佈雷地區可能含有富饒的中、大型斑巖系統;
  • 最有遠景的地區位於項目中心,以前幾乎沒有勘探鑽探;
  • 本區與中等磁響應區內未出現的深部激電地球物理異常相吻合。深激電異常是寬廣近地表異常的深層核心,涵蓋了該項目目前已知的所有斑巖礦化區;
  • 該地區還與一大片繪製的葉蠟石重疊,葉蠟石是一種經常在斑巖銅-金礦化上觀察到的蝕變礦物;
  • 現場工作正在進行中,為未來的鑽探活動做準備。

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Azucar, stated "This is an exciting development in the exploration timeline of the El Cobre project. We now have a focus area to explore for a deep porphyry target that we hope will be the centre and source of the already known large area of alteration and mineralisation covering the project area."

Azucar董事長J.Duane Poliquin表示:“在El Cobre項目的勘探時間表上,這是一個令人興奮的進展。我們現在有了一個重點區域來勘探深部斑巖目標,我們希望它將成為覆蓋該項目區域的已知的大片蝕變和礦化的中心和來源。”

Background to Mineral Vectoring Study Results
The mineral vectoring study was completed at the CODES Analytical Laboratory of the University of Tasmania and utilized chlorite and epidote samples collected from the El Cobre project earlier this year. The technique employed uses trace element chemistry of epidote and chlorite to detect the likely location of porphyry copper systems in a large altered area. Published studies show the effectiveness of this method around the world such as at the giant El Teniente Chile, Resolution, Arizona and Batu Hijau, Indonesia porphyry systems. The results of the El Cobre study indicate that the district likely contains a fertile medium to large sized porphyry system. The vectoring was performed using proximitor equations from the Batu Hijau, Ujina, Northparkes and El Teniente porphyry deposits. While the vectoring identified some of the known areas of porphyry mineralisation such as Norte, it provided a clear indication that the most prospective area is located in the centre of the project where there has been little previous exploration drilling. This area coincides with the location of a deep IP geophysical anomaly within an area of moderate magnetic response. The deep IP anomaly is the deep core to the broad near surface anomaly which encompasses all the known outcropping porphyry targets on the project. The closest hole to this deep core IP anomaly, which did not test the anomaly, intersected intense quartz pyrite sericite (QSP) phyllic alteration which provides further support to this new target representing a possible porphyry centre. At the same time fluid inclusion work and geologic observations indicate that the level of exposure on the project is at the top of the porphyry environment, indicating potential for improved grades and deep porphyry mineralisation as yet undiscovered on the project. These observations include the identification of a large area of pyrophyllite alteration through previous geologic mapping. Pyrophyllite is an alteration mineral that is formed in porphyry systems and often overlies porphyry Cu-Au mineralisation. A map is provided (Figure 1) which shows the IP geophysics and pyrophyllite alteration zones relative to past drilling and previously defined targets.

礦物矢量化研究結果背景
礦物矢量化研究是在塔斯馬尼亞大學的CODS分析實驗室完成的,利用了今年早些時候從El Cobre項目收集的綠泥石和綠簾石樣本。這項技術利用綠簾石和綠泥石的微量元素化學來探測斑巖銅系統在一個大的蝕變區域中的可能位置。已發表的研究表明,這種方法在世界各地都是有效的,比如在亞利桑那州的埃爾特尼恩特(El Teniente)智利巨型斑巖系統和印度尼西亞的巴圖·希焦島(Batu Hijau)斑巖系統。El Cobre的研究結果表明,該地區可能含有肥沃的中、大型斑巖系統。矢量化是使用來自Batu Hijau、Ujina、Northparkes和El Teniente斑巖礦牀的近似方程進行的。雖然向量確定了一些已知的斑巖礦化區域,如Norte,但它提供了一個明確的跡象,即最有遠景的區域位於項目中心,那裏以前幾乎沒有勘探鑽探。本區與中等磁響應區內的深部激電地球物理異常位置相吻合。深部激電異常是寬廣近地表異常的深層核心,涵蓋了該項目所有已知的露頭斑巖靶區。與這一深核激電異常最接近的孔與強烈的石英黃鐵礦絹雲母(QSP)千枚狀蝕變相交,為這一代表可能斑巖中心的新靶區提供了進一步的支持。同時,流體包裹體工作和地質觀察表明,該項目的暴露水平處於斑巖環境的頂端。, 顯示了該項目中尚未發現的品位和深部斑巖礦化的潛力。這些觀察包括通過先前的地質填圖識別出大面積的葉蠟石蝕變。葉蠟石是一種形成於斑巖體系中的蝕變礦物,常覆蓋在斑巖銅-金礦化之上。提供了一張地圖(圖1),其中顯示了與過去鑽探和先前定義的目標相關的激電地球物理和葉蠟石蝕變帶。

Field work has already been initiated in this area in order to identify any surface alteration and mineralisation evidence and to prepare for a future drilling campaign to test this large target area.

這一地區的野外工作已經開始,以識別任何地表蝕變和礦化證據,併為未來的鑽探活動做準備,以測試這一大片目標區。

Past drilling campaigns have returned significant porphyry copper and gold assays from multiple targets around this new undrilled target area. The previously tested and known porphyry mineralisation, including the Norte deposit on which the company has developed a resource (see below), appear to mantle and surround this new target area in a roughly arcuate zone of high magnetic response. High grade intersections from these targets highlight the potential for significant mineral endowment and for higher grade porphyry mineralisation include the following (see Figure 1 for locations):

過去的鑽探活動已經從這個新的未鑽探目標區周圍的多個目標返回了重要的斑巖銅和金的分析結果。先前測試及已知的斑巖礦化,包括該公司已在其上開發資源的Norte礦牀(見下文),似乎覆蓋及包圍這一新目標區,形成一個大致呈弧形的高磁響應區。這些目標的高品位交叉點突出了大量礦產資源和更高品位斑巖礦化的潛力,包括以下內容(位置見圖1):

Drilling Update
Further to the Company's August 11, 2021 press release, Azucar has now received all assay results from the two holes drilled at El Cobre during the summer. Hole EC-21-113 returned a short intercept in the Raya Tembrillo oxide area (see Azucar news release of May 18, 2021) of 4.95 metres averaging 0.75g/t gold and 0.71% copper. Further oxide zone drilling in this area is currently being reviewed.

鑽探更新
繼公司於2021年8月11日發佈新聞稿後,Azucar現已收到夏季在El Cobre鑽探的兩個孔的所有化驗結果。EC-21-113井在Raya Tbrillo氧化物區(見2021年5月18日發佈的Azucar新聞稿)返回了4.95米的短截距,平均含金量為0.75g/t,含銅量為0.71%。目前正在對該地區進一步的氧化帶鑽探進行審查。

The recently completed drill program included a hole at the Pedregal Target and a hole at the Raya Tembrillo Target within Villa Rica Zone. A hole planned for the large area of alteration and mineralisation of the Encinal Zone has been deferred until more detailed geologic work and review is complete.

最近完成的演習計劃包括在Pedregal Target和Villa Ricica Zone內的Raya Tbrillo Target打一個洞。計劃在內陸帶大面積蝕變和礦化的鑽孔已被推遲,直到完成更詳細的地質工作和審查。

About the El Cobre Project
A detailed summary of the project is provided on the Company's website but in brief the El Cobre project covers a 5 km trend of porphyry copper-gold associated alteration and mineralisation along which five separate zones have now been identified and explored in past drilling campaigns (see Figure 1). On September 29, 2020, the Company released an initial mineral resource estimate on the project from only the Norte Zone. The base case resource estimate (using a net smelter return cutoff of US$12/tonne) for the Norte Zone is comprised of an indicated resource of 1.2 Moz AuEq (47.2 million tonnes grading 0.49 g/t Au, 0.21% Cu 1.4 g/t Ag) and an inferred resource of 1.4 Moz AuEq (64.2 million tonnes grading 0.42 g/t Au, 0.18% Cu and 1.3 g/t Ag). Further details of the resource estimate are provided below.

關於El Cobre項目
本公司網站提供了該項目的詳細摘要,但簡而言之,El Cobre項目涵蓋了5公里的斑巖銅金礦伴生蝕變和礦化趨勢,在過去的鑽探活動中,目前已沿着該方向識別和勘探了五個獨立的區域(見圖1)。2020年9月29日,該公司公佈了該項目僅在北區的初步礦產資源評估。北區的基本情況資源估計(使用12美元/噸的冶煉廠淨回報截止值)包括指示資源為1.2 Moz AuEq(4720萬噸品位0.49克/噸金,0.21%銅1.4克/噸銀)以及推斷的1.4Moz AuEq的資源(6420萬噸品位為0.42g/t Au、0.18%Cu和1.3g/t Ag)。下文提供了資源估計數的進一步細節。

At the Villa Rica Zone, located about 1.8 km south of the Norte Zone, the Company plans to further explore the Raya Tembrillo Target. Initial drilling in 2017 on the Raya Tembrillo Target intersected two styles of mineralisation; hypogene copper-gold porphyry mineralisation (115.00 metres of 0.57 g/t gold and 0.27% copper, see press release of November 28, 2017) and near surface enriched copper mineralisation with an apparent tabular distribution (94.00 metres of 1.36% copper; see press release of December 13, 2017). At the Encinal Zone, located 4.3 kilometres to the southeast of the Norte Zone, the Company is conducting a more thorough review of the geological, geochemical and geophysical datasets in order to design a future drill program to follow-up past drill results. On June 29, 2017 Azucar announced the results of initial drilling on this exposed stockwork (Hole EC-17-025) that returned results including 34.47 metres grading 0.73 g/t Au and 0.20% Cu.

在北區以南約1.8公里處的維拉·里加區,該公司計劃進一步勘探Raya Tbra illo目標。Raya Tbra illo目標區於2017年進行的初步鑽探涉及兩種類型的礦化:淺成銅金斑巖礦化(115.00米,0.57g/t金和0.27%銅,見2017年11月28日的新聞稿)和近地表富集的銅礦化,呈明顯的表格分佈(94.00米,銅含量1.36%;見2017年12月13日的新聞稿)。在北區東南4.3公里處的Encinal Zone,公司正在對地質、地球化學和地球物理數據集進行更徹底的審查,以便設計未來的鑽探計劃,以跟進過去的鑽探結果。2017年6月29日,Azucar宣佈了對這一裸露網眼(孔EC-17-025)的初步鑽探結果,結果包括34.47米品位0.73克/噸Au和0.20%Cu。
