Torian Resources Limited: Phase 2 Drilling Program at Mt Stirling to Begin

Perth, Australia - Torian Resources Ltd. (ASX:TNR) is pleased to announce that it will be continuing its systematic exploration approach at the Mt Stirling Project. The Phase 2 Drilling program at Mt Stirling will begin this Quarter with an initial 5,000m RC drilling campaign to test the depth and strike extent of the existing 1.45 g/t Au 33,900oz Mt Stirling JORC Inferred Resource (Table 1*).

Phase 1 drilling gave the Company a greater understanding and further pathfinders to follow up on as it has now been demonstrated that the existing Mt Stirling Resource continues at depth at good grade and remains open along strike. The coming campaign will focus around the existing resource, which the Company is seeking to expand.

Based on an analysis of the Phase 1 drill data using Grade x Width contouring technique, it was determined that the Main Zone mineralisation has a very steep plunge to the northwest. Insufficient holes were drilled at depth during Phase 1 to define the plunge line of the mineralisation. Additional drilling will be completed to the northwest to follow down and further define the plunge of the mineralization to depth during the Phase 2 program (see Figure 1*).

Phase 1 drilling also demonstrated that there appears to be a high-grade splay (33.10 g/t over 1.0 m) off the Main Zone sitting in the hanging wall (Figure 1 and 2*). This high-grade splay seems to correlate with the heart of the Resource (ASX 22 February 2019) contained within the Oxides facies of the deposit.

Future drilling will focus on following this splay to depth in the attempt to define a high-grade underground shoot for future exploitation.

In addition to the Mt Stirling Trend, a number of holes will be drilled in and around the Stirling Well deposit during Phase 2, another one of the Company's existing resources on the Mt Stirling Gold Project. The objective is to define extensions to this mineralization and to determine if there are any satellite deposits outboard of the Stirling Well (see Figure 3 and 4*). Torian's consultants are currently analysing the data and developing a drill layout.
