VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Torq Resources Inc. (TSX-V:TORQ) (OTCQX:TRBMF) (“Torq” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the initiation of a fall exploration program at its Gander Gold Project located in central Newfoundland, Canada. The program is designed to investigate the 5 strongest gold-in-till anomalies that were identified during the summer season. These anomalous regions are contained within a 25 km long structural corridor and along trend with the Dog Bay fault zone (Figure 1).
The follow-up screening program is designed to trace gold mineralization back to its source rock underneath the till sequence through a combination of in-fill till and biogeochemical sampling methods. A total 2,400 till samples and 4,800 biogeochemical samples will be collected across the target areas which encompass the anomalies from the summer program in addition to the ‘Cracker’ and ‘Lucky Moose’ surface showings (Figure 1). Results from this program will allow the Company to target bedrock mineralization with future trench and drill programs anticipated for early 2018.
Torq CEO, Michael Kosowan, commented, “We are very pleased with the evolution of the Grander Gold project and excited about the potential of a well mineralized high-grade gold vein system. Once we complete this program, we will have a clear picture of where best to test the bedrock for the source of gold we are observing on surface with future trench and drill programs.”
Mr. Kosowan further stated, “2018 is going to be a busy year for Torq as we advance the exciting discovery opportunity within the Gander Gold project and strengthen our project portfolio with future acquisitions.”
Michael Henrichsen, P.Geo, and advisor to Torq, is the Qualified Person who assumes responsibility for the technical disclosures in this press release.
