TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE: P2QM) (“Eloro” or the “Company”) announces that, through a mutual agreement with Empresa Minera Villegas S. R. L. (“Minera Villegas”), holder of the polymetallic allocation of tin and silver Iska Iska in the Department of Potosí, southern Bolivia (“Iska Iska”), the payment schedule similar to the US$10 million payment required for Eloro to download The 99% interest in Iska Iska has been changed.
In accordance with the personal option contract to win Iska Iska (see Eloro press of January 9, 2020), Eloro’s Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Tupiza S. R. L. (“Tupiza Ore”) has made invoice advances of US$3. 4 million to date for payment of the US$10 million Option. In accordance with a mutual agreement, the payment schedule of the remaining option was modified in which Eloro, through Minera Tupiza, agreed to pay Minera Villegas US$1 million until October 31, 2022, and the remaining US$5. 6 million is due until July 6. . , 2024.
Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro, commented: “Following our continued exploration good fortune that extended the high-grade prospective zone at Iska Iska up to 2km along the course (see Eloro press release dated 20 September 2022) and the postponement of our first mineral resource estimate to the first quarter of 2023. In order to allow time to continue exploratory drilling, either party is prudent to extend the contract date by another six months. This extension also provides more time to get the drilling verification effects that have been delayed for the past two years due to Covid-related circumstances.
About Iska Iska
The Iska Iska Polymetallic Silver-Tin Project is a royalty-free road access asset fully controlled through the name holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S. R. L. and is located 48 km north of the city of Tupiza, in the province of Sud Chichas of the Department of Potosí. , in southern Bolivia. Eloro has the option to obtain a 99% stake in Iska Iska.
Iska Iska is a vital polymetallic epithermal-porphyry silver-tin complex related to a probably collapsed/resurgent Miocene caldera, established in Ordovician age rocks with giant breccia ducts, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. The caldera measures from 1. 6 km to 1. 8 km with a vertical extension of at least 1 km. The age of mineralization is similar to Cerro Rico de Potosí and other primary deposits such as San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna and Tatasi located in the same geological trend.
Eloro started underground diamond drilling from the Huayra Kasa underground works in Iska Iska on September 13, 2020. On November 18, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of a giant gap pile with extensive polymetallic silver mineralization just east of the Huayra Kasa underground works and a high-grade gold and bismuth zone in the underground works. On November 24, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of the SBBP about 150 m southwest of the Huayra Kasa underground works.
Subsequently, on January 26, 2021, Eloro announced significant effects of the first drilling at SBBP, adding the DHK-15 discovery gap that yielded 129. 60 g Ag eq/t at 257. 5 m (29. 53 g Ag/t, 0. 078 g Au/t, 1. 45% Zn, 0. 59% Pb, 0. 080% Cu, 0. 056% Sn, 0. 0022% In and 0. 0064% Bi from 0. 0 m to 257. 5 m. Subsequent drilling showed significant values of polymetallic mineralization of Ag-Sn in the SBBP and adjacent CBP. Extensive mineralized envelope that is open along the direction and downstream dip ends around the two main gap chimneys. Continuous slot sampling of the Santa Barbara gallery east of SBBP yielded 442 g Ag eq/t (164. 96 g Ag/t, 0. 46% Sn, 3. 46% Pb and 0. 14% Cu) over 166 m adding 1,092 g Ag eq/t (446 g Ag/t, 9. 03% Pb and 1. 16% Sn) over 56. 19 m. The west end of the gallery cuts the top of the SBBP.
Since the initial discovery well, Eloro has published a number of significant drilling effects on the SBBP and the surrounding mineralized envelope which, together with geophysical data, have explained a target zone of 1400 m along the direction, 500 m wide and ending at an intensity of six hundred m. This domain is open laterally to the northwest and southeast, as well as to the southwest. The Company’s short-term goal is to outline an initial mineral resource that complies with NI 43-101 in this gigantic target domain. As noted in this release publication, following ongoing discoveries from recent drilling that have particularly expanded Santa Barbara’s high-grade feed zone, the Company has reduced the inaugural mineral resource through the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Qualified person
Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P. Geo. , General Manager of Eloro’s Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Tupiza S. R. L. , and Qualified Person in the context of NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release. Bill Pearson, P.

Eloro uses ALS and AHK for drill core analysis, as both are accredited foreign giant laboratories. Drill samples sent to ALS are ready at ALS Bolivia Ltda’s preparation facility in Oruro, Bolivia, and AHK’s preparation facility in Tupiza, with the pulp sent to ALS Global’s main laboratory in Lima for analysis. Most recently, Eloro asked ALS to send paste to its lab in Galway, Ireland. Eloro uses an industry-popular QA/QC program with popular, blanks and duplicates inserted into each batch of samples tested with decided samples sent to a separate accredited laboratory.
Drill core samples sent to AHK laboratories are ready at a preparation facility installed and operated through AHK in Tupiza with pulps shipped to AHK’s laboratory in Lima, Peru. Au and Sn’s investigation of these samples is carried out through ALS Bolivia Ltda in Lima. Control samples between ALS and AHK are executed as QA/QC control. AHK follows the same analytical protocols used with ALS and with the same QA/QC protocols. Response times continue to improve as laboratories return to more general staffing levels.
