RNS Number : 9313P Orosur Mining Inc 13 December 2024
Orosur Mining Inc - Positive Drill Results Continue at Anzá
· Assays from third hole (PEP014) received.
· Composite intersection of 75.1m @ 5.58g/t Au from surface.
London, December 13th, 2024. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the "Company")
(TSXV/AIM:OMI), is pleased to announce an update on the progress of
exploration activities at the Company's flagship Anzá Project ("Project") in
Colombia.
ANZÁ Project
The Anzá Project is now 100% owned by the Company following recent completion
of a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), announced 28(th) November 2024, whereby
the Company purchased all of the shares of its previous JV partner, Minera
Monte Aguila ("MMA").
The Project is located 50km west of Medellin and is easily accessible by
all-weather roads and boasts excellent infrastructure including water, power,
communications as well as a large exploration camp.
Pepas
The Pepas Prospect is in the northern extent of the Anzá Project
(pre-acquisition) over 10km north of the central base at APTA (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Anzá Project - prospects
Post completion of the transaction to buy its previous JV partner, MMA, the
Company began drilling at the Pepas prospect in mid-November 2024.
Drilling commenced with hole PEP012, which was positioned to confirm previous
high-grade results in hole PEP001, drilled by MMA in 2022.
Holes PEP013, 014 and 015 were then rotated some 51 degrees eastward from
PEP012 to begin to test what was considered by the Company's geological teams
to be the controlling trend of SE to NW. As well as defining thick zones of
high-grade mineralisation, a target for these holes was a clearly defined
basement fault that seemed to act as a distinct marker bed to define the
trend.
Figure 2. Plan of holes
PEP014 entered mineralised tuffs just below surface, and continued in high
grade mineralisation until the basement fault was intersected at 75m. The hole
was terminated at 78m.
Figure 3. Section, PEP014
Most of the length of PEP014 above the fault, was mineralised with a composite
intersection of 75.1m @ 5.58g/t Au being calculated, from surface.
Hole Number From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t)
PEP014 0 75.1 75.1 5.58
including 12.85 24.35 11.5 8.34
including 30.25 44.2 13.95 13.68
Table 1. Drill Intercepts
Discussion and ongoing drilling
Holes PEP013 through PEP015 all intersected the basement fault roughly where
expected, providing substantial weight to the interpreted trend. Assays from
Hole PEP015 are currently with the lab for analysis.
Hole PEP016 is currently underway and is directed on the same azimuth, but
positioned some distance to the SW, to test the mineralisation, overburden and
structure down dip (Figure 2).
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"Results from PEP014 continue the story that there is something at Pepas. Work
to date has been very geologically focussed in trying to define trends and we
now think we have some inkling so we look forward to progressing our drill
programme and developing this picture."

Qualified Persons Statement
The information in this news release was compiled, reviewed and verified by
Mr. Brad George, BSc Hons (Geology and Geophysics), MBA, Member of the
Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG), CEO of Orosur Mining Inc. and a
qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Orosur Mining Inc. staff follow standard operating and quality assurance
procedures to ensure that sampling techniques and sample results meet
international reporting standards.
Drill core is split in half over widths that vary between 0.3m and 2m,
depending upon the geological domain. One half is kept on site in the Minera
Anzá core storage facility, with the other sent for assay.
Industry standard QAQC protocols are put in place with approximately 10% of
total submitted samples being blanks, repeats or Certified Reference Materials
(CRMs).
Samples for holes PEP-001 to PEP-011 were sent to the Medellin preparation
facility of ALS Colombia Ltd, and then to the ISO 9001 certified ALS Chemex
laboratory in Lima, Peru.
Samples from PEP-012 onwards are sent to Medellin laboratory of Actlabs for
preparation and assay.
30 gram nominal weight samples are then subject to fire assay and AAS analysis
for gold with gravimetric re-finish for overlimit assays of >5 g/t.
ICP-MS Ultra-Trace level multi-element four-acid digest analyses may also
undertaken for such elements as silver, copper, lead and zinc, etc.
Gold intersections are reported using a lower cut-off of 0.3g/t Au over 3m.
