Torq Resources Identifies Large Copper Target to be Drilled in Q3 with Shawn Wallace

Torq Resources (TSXV: TORQ | OTCQX: TRBMF) is a junior exploration company building a premium copper and gold portfolio in Chile.  The company’s management team has raised over $650M and monetized successes in three previous exploration companies.  Torq’s primary objective is to discover a large-scale copper sulphide source for the abundant copper oxide mineralization observed on the southern region of the Margarita property. Results from a ground-based induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey have outlined two north-northwest trending chargeability anomalies, approximately 3 km by 500 metres (m) in size, which Torq’s technical team believes are associated with sulphide mineralization.

Chief geologist Michael Henrichsen stated, ““The initial IP chargeability results from Margarita confirm our belief that there is excellent potential to discover a large-scale copper sulphide system on the property. The strength of the anomalies is consistent with sulphide mineralization and we look forward to developing additional geological and geophysical exploration vectors to compliment the chargeability targets in the coming weeks, as we move to drill stage.”

The Margarita project is located within the prolific Coastal Cordillera belt that hosts the world-class Candelaria (Lundin Mining Corp.) and Manto Verde (Mantos Copper Holding) IOCG mines, and porphyry-skarn deposits such as Santo Domingo (Capstone Mining Corp.) and Inca de Oro (PanAust/Codelco).  Drilling is scheduled for Q3 of this year.
