Cranbrook, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 11, 2023) - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) ("DLP" or the "Company") announces receipt of complete drill results for drillhole, A23-011 on the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum project in southern Peru (Figure 1).

Results for the first ten drillholes, A22-001, A22-002, A22-003, A23-004, A23-005, A23-006, A23-007, A23-008, A23-009 and A23-010 were released on September 05, 2023 (see DLP Resources Inc., news releases of September 05, 2023 for results for A23-001 to A23-010 and Table 3 below).

Highlights

Drillhole A23-011 was drilled approximately 268m southwest of drillhole A23-010 and intersected significant copper and molybdenum mineralization throughout the hole to a depth of 1081.70m. A23-011 ended in molybdenum mineralization and the most significant mineralized intervals included:

• 0.53% CuEq* over 970.70m (0.17% Cu, 0.0667% Mo and 1.81g/t Ag) from 111m to 1081.70m.
• 0.54% CuEq* over 32.00m (0.44% Cu, 0.0125% Mo and 3.69g/t Ag) from 183.00m to 215.00m.
• 0.66% CuEq* over 557.70m (0.09% Cu, 0.1078% Mo and 1.38g/t Ag) from 524.00m to 1081.70m.
• 0.81% CuEq* over 365.70m (0.07% Cu, 0.1403% Mo and 0.66g/t Ag) from 716.00m to 1081.70m.

The complete set of results for A23-011 are summarized in Table 1 below.

Mr. Gendall, President and CEO commented: "A23-011 was drilled on a step-out of 268m to the SW of A23-010 to define the western edge of the hornfels-porphyry contact on the southeast side of Aurora. This hole now confirms a copper-molybdenum mineralized trend of at least 980m which is still open to the southeast and west. This hole ended in molybdenum mineralization at a depth of 1081.70m. Drilling is ongoing on the southeast side and A23-012 is being drilled on a step out of approximately 140m west of A23-011 to a depth of 1000m. We continue to be encouraged with the results of the first 11 drillholes and look forward to receiving results for A23-012 in early November."

Table 1. Summary of Drill Results for Diamond Drillhole A23-011. All grades are length-weighted averages of samples within the interval reported.

Note: *Copper equivalent grades (CuEq) are for comparative purposes only. Mo, Cu and Ag values are uncut and recovery is assumed to be 100% for the entire drilled length of A23-011. The project is at an early stage of exploration and conceptual recoveries of Cu 85%, Mo 82%, and Ag 75% are assigned to the CuEq calculations. Conversion of metals to an equivalent copper grade based on these metal prices is relative to the copper price per unit mass factored by conceptual recoveries for those metals normalized to the conceptualized copper recovery. The metal equivalencies for each metal are added to the copper grade. The formula for this is: CuEq % = Cu% + (Mo% * (Mo recovery / Cu recovery) * (Mo $ per lb / Cu $ per lb) + (Ag g/t * (Ag recovery / Cu recovery) * (Ag $ per oz/ 31.1034768) / (Cu $ per lb* 22.04623)).

*Copper equivalent calculations use metal prices of Cu - US$3.34/lb, Mo - US$18/lb and Ag - US$21.87/oz.

¹ Intervals are downhole drilled core lengths. Drilling data to date is insufficient to determine true width of mineralization. Mo, Cu and Ag values are uncut.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance

DLP Resources Peru S.A.C, a subsidiary of DLP Resources Inc., supervises drilling and carries out sampling of HTW and NTW core. Logging and sampling are completed at a secured Company facility situated on the project site. Sample intervals are nominally 1.5 to 2.7m in length. Drill core is cut in half using a rotary diamond blade saw and samples are sealed on site before transportation to the ALS Peru S.A.C. sample preparation facility in Arequipa by Company vehicles and staff. Prepared samples are sent to Lima by ALS Peru S.A.C. for analysis. ALS Peru S.A.C. is an independent laboratory. Samples are analyzed for 48 elements using a four-acid digestion and ICP-MS analysis (ME-MS61). In addition, sequential copper analyses are done where secondary copper mineralization is observed and reports, soluble copper using sulphuric acid leach, soluble copper in cyanide leach, residual copper and total copper. ALS meets all requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 for analytical procedures.

DLP Resources independently monitors quality control and quality assurance ("QA/QC") through a program that includes the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards), blanks and pulp duplicate samples. The company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data reported from 3.1m to 1081.70m in A23-011.

Aurora Project

Aurora Project is an advanced stage porphyry copper-molybdenum exploration project in the Province of Calca, SE Peru (Figure 1). The Aurora Project was previously permitted for drilling in 2015 but was never executed. Thirteen historical drillholes, drilled in 2001 and 2005 totaling 3,900m were drilled over an area of approximately 1000m by 800m, cut significant intervals of copper and molybdenum mineralization. From logging of the only three remaining holes DDA-01, DDA-3A and DDA-3 and data now available, it appears that only three of the thirteen holes tested the enriched copper zone and only one hole drilled deep enough to test the primary copper and molybdenum zone (see DLP Resources Inc. news release of May 18, 2021).

Salient historic drillhole data of the Aurora Project are:

• 190m @ 0.57% Cu, 0.008% Mo in DDA-1 with a high-grade intercept of 20m @ 1.01% Cu related to a supergene enrichment zone of secondary chalcocite;

• 142m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.004% Mo in DDA-3;

• 71.7m @ 0.7% Cu, 0.007% Mo in DDA-3A (see historical Focus Ventures Ltd. news release July 11, 2012); and

• One of the historical holes ABC-6 drilled on the edge of the system intersected 78m @ 0.45% Cu and 0.107% Mo (Figure 2).

A review of the historical drilling indicates that the majority of the thirteen holes were drilled in the leached and partially leached zones of the porphyry system. Ten of the thirteen holes never fully tested the oxide and secondary enrichment zone and/or the primary copper zone at depth encountered in DDA-01. Copper-molybdenum mineralization is hosted by quartz-feldspar porphyries intruded into slates-hornfels and pelitic sandstones belonging to the Ordovician (439 - 463 ma) Sandia Formation.
