Torque Metals Limited has intersected 11.0 metres at 456.00 g/t gold from 122 metres down-hole in reverse circulation drill hole 26HRC135 at the HHH deposit, featuring visible gold nuggets and a high-grade interval of 1.0 metre at 3,625.00 g/t gold.

The results form part of an ongoing multi-rig drilling program at the 100%-owned Ritz Gold Project in the South Kalgoorlie region of Western Australia. Torque Metals has renamed its flagship exploration package from the Paris Gold Project to the Ritz Gold Project to establish a clear distinction between the district-scale footprint and its individual deposits, such as Paris, HHH, and Observation.

A follow-up diamond hole, 26HDD012, drilled approximately 3 metres from 26HRC135, intersected 7.9 metres at 1.37 g/t gold from 146.2 metres. Torque also intersected 2.0 metres at 8.06 g/t gold from 282 metres in hole 26HRC135, located outside the current Mineral Resource Estimate. Additional reverse circulation results from HHH included 8.0 metres at 3.79 g/t gold from 111 metres in hole 26HRC127 at the southern edge of the resource, and 4.0 metres at 6.90 g/t gold from 46 metres in hole 26HRC133.

Prior work at the HHH deposit established an existing Mineral Resource Estimate of 73,000 ounces at an average grade of 2.0 g/t gold.

“Importantly, it also highlights the scope to rapidly grow the current MRE at the HHH deposit, which stands at 73,000oz at an average grade of 2.0 g/t Au.” — Craig Jones, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Torque Metals is scheduled to begin drilling along the Maynard's Corridor at the Ritz Gold Project this quarter, while also expecting further assay results from ongoing drilling at the Paris Gold Deposit, including the high-grade PL3 Lode.
