Torr Metals Inc. Acquires All Crown Grants on the Latham Copper-Gold Project
Vancouver, May 13, 2022 - Torr Metals Inc. (TSXV: TMET) ("Torr" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of an assignment agreement for a 100% undivided interest (the "Acquisition") of 13 undersurface crown grants covering ~2.3 km2 beneath the Company's Dalvenie mineral occurrence (the "Dalvenie Zone") located on Torr's 100% owned Latham Copper-Gold Project (Figure 1). The Dalvenie Zone is ideally situated 30 kilometres (km) south of the town of Dease Lake in northwest BC and is road-accessible through ~2.0 km of gravel road leading west from Highway 37. The Dalvenie Zone is highly prospective for epithermal and porphyry-style mineralization as it parallels a regional copper-gold porphyry trend that includes the Company's Gnat Pass copper porphyry deposit ~8 km to the north (Figure 1). Torr's highway-accessible 689 km2 Latham Copper-Gold Project is located within the prolific Golden Triangle region of northern BC. Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO, commented, "The acquisition of the Dalvenie Zone crown grants provides a potential km-scale copper-gold-silver exploration target within the Latham Project that Torr plans to better define with the near-term completion of our historical data compilation. As at our Gnat Pass copper-porphyry deposit the Dalvenie Zone is ideally situated adjacent to Highway 37, providing unparalleled accessibility and substantial exploration upside to our upcoming 2022 field program."
