Recent Drill Hole K-22 Intercepts Includes Evidence of Nearby Porphyry System
The initial drill hole K-22 tested the Northern anomaly defined by a Spartan Magneto-telluric survey (refer
to Cordoba's news release dated
October 19, 2021
) and shows evidence of a nearby porphyry system
including Intermediate Argillic Alteration in brecciated and faulted Precambrian Hualapai Granite as well
as quartz stringers and veins carrying pyrite, chalcopyrite with varying degrees of phyllic and potassic
alteration noted as vein selvages and pervasive replacement of the porphyry dykes. Assay results are
pending.
A down hole, radial Typhoon
TM
IP-resistivity survey is intended to be carried out on K-22 in the coming
month using one of Ivanhoe Electric's proprietary deep-penetration Typhoon
TM
high-power transmitter
systems. Further exploration diamond drilling will be planned upon completion of this survey.
