Torq Resources Inc. announced that it has defined a gold - copper mineralized system over an 800 metre (m) strike length at the Falla 13 discovery at its Margarita project located in northern Chile, approximately 65 kilometres (km) north of the city of Copiapo. Highlights from the recently completed reverse circulation (RC) drill program include: 64 m of 0.63 g/t gold (Au) and 0.63% copper (Cu) in 22MAR-017R, 130 m of 0.36 g/t Au and 0.28% Cu (including 30 m of 1.02 g/t Au and 0.57% Cu) in 22MAR-023R, and 62 m of 0.51 g/t Au and 0.38% Cu (including 16 m of 1.6 g/t Au and 0.98% Cu), in 22MAR-024R. The results of the 12 RC drill holes that have tested the north ­ northwest trending Falla 13 discovery demonstrate a consistently mineralized copper-gold system over an 800 mstrike length.

The discovery to date exhibits a number of distinct styles of mineralization, including: high-grade magnetite breccia bodies, disseminated mineralization within two distinct intrusives with dioritic and monzodioritic compositions exhibiting pyrite ­ chalcopyrite and chalcopyrite only, respectively. In addition, both structurally controlled and sub-horizontal manto-style mineralization that occurs at the contact between overlying volcanics and intrusive rocks are observed both in drilling and on the surface through geological mapping, respectively. The mineralization along the Falla 13 structural corridor is interpreted to have four separate domains based on cross cutting west ­ northwest (WNW) trans-tensional structures where minor dextral offset of the main mineralized structure is observed.

Importantly, one of the prominent WNW trending structures has been drill tested and is mineralized with drill hole 22MAR-023R intersecting 30 m of 1.02 g/t Au and 0.57% Cu within a broader interval of 130 m of 0.37 g/t Au and 0.28% Cu. The recognition of a second orientation of the mineralized structure within the emerging discovery at the Falla 13 area is important as it provides an additional structural corridor to explore and demonstrates the potential of the WNW structures, such as Remolino,across the property. The mapped WNW trending structures identified across the Falla 13 discovery area have slightly offset the mineralization along the Falla 13 structural corridor into four distinct areas: the northern, central, southern and Remolino domains.

These WNW structures are interpreted to be syn-post mineral in their movement as they are both mineralized and also offset mineralization along the Falla 13 structural corridor and are viewed as potential feeder structures to the drilled mineralized system. The recognition of the WNW structures being mineralized has identified exploration targets immediately adjacent to the drilling completed to date.
