DLP Resources intersects 208.55m of 1.01% CuEq* within a 617.55m interval of 0.72%
CuEq* on the Aurora Project in Southern Peru
Cranbrook, British Columbia, (Newsfile Corp. – June 12, 202 3) DLP Resources Inc. (“DLP” or the
“Company”) (TSXV:DLP) (OTCQB:DLPRF) announces receipt of complete drill results for the sixth hole,
A23-006 on the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum project in southern Peru (Figure 1).
Results for the first five drillholes, A22-001, A22-002, A22-003, A23-004 and A23-005 were released on
December 05, 2022, January 05, 2023, May 02, 2023 and June 01, 2023 (see DLP Resources Inc. news
releases).
Highlights
Drillhole A23-006 intersected significant molybdenum-copper mineralization throughout the hole to a
depth of 708.55m where it ended in very good molybdenum mineralization. The most significant
mineralized intervals included:
• 0.72% CuEq* over 617.55m (0.17% Cu, 0.148% Mo and 1.82g/t Ag) from 91.00m to 708.55m.
• 0.82% CuEq* over 36.00m (0.62% Cu, 0.031% Mo and 9.10g/t Ag) from 91.00m to 127.00m.
• 0.80% CuEq* over 387.55m (0.07% Cu, 0.205% Mo and 0.74g/t Ag) from 321.00m to 708.55m.
• 1.01% CuEq* over 208.55m (0.08% Cu, 0.260% Mo and 0.86g/t Ag) from 500.00m to 708.55m.
The complete set of results for A23-006 are summarized in Table 1 below.
Results fr om drillhole A2 3-006 which was drilled approximately 448m WSW of A22 -003 confirms
extensive copper-molybdenum mineralization across the northwestern extent of the Aurora project.
Once again, the hole ended in very good molybdenum mineralization.
Mr. Gendall President and CEO commented: “ We continue to intersect very encouraging copper -
molybdenum mineralization at Aurora and the downdip extension is open in all directions . Drilling is
ongoing to the south of A23-006 and we are currently drilling A23-008. Assay results are awaited for
A23-007”.
Aurora Cu-Mo Project – Summary of Drill Results for A23-006
A23-006
Hole A2 3-006 was drilled at an angle of -70 degrees towards an azimuth of 140 degrees (Table 2 ,
Figures 2, 3 and 4). The logged geology is summarized as follows:
• 0m – 14.70m : No core recovery - overburden
• 14.70m – 91.00m: Partially leached zone of quartz-eye feldspar porphyry with limonite and
trace chalcopyrite, molybdenite and covellite.
• 91.00m – 127.00m : Early quartz -eye feldspar porphyry with sericite and argillic alteration.
Mineralization is a mixed zone of chalcocite, covellite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite.
• 127.00m – 321.00m : Early and intermineral quartz eye porphyry with moderate quartz -
sericite and argillic alteration and good molybdenite and chalcopyrite mineralization.
- 2 -
• 321.00 – 500.00m : Early quartz -eye feldspar porphyry with modera te quartz -sericite
alteration, trace biotite alteration with fluorite. Ve ry good disseminated and veined
molybdenum mineralization with chalcopyrite mineralization.
• 500.00 – 708.55m : Quartz-feldspar porphyry and quartz -eye feldspar-biotite porphyry with
moderate to strong potassic alteration and very good molybdenum mineralization with low
percentage of chalcopyrite mineralization. Extensive m olybdenite quartz veinlets (B-type)
occur within in this interval.

Note: *Copper equivalent grades (CuEq) are for comparative purposes only. Calculations are uncut and
recovery is assumed to be 100% for the entire drilled length of 708.55m. The project is at an early stage
of exploration and there is insufficient metallurgical data for estimation of metal recoveries.
*Copper-equivalence is calculated as: CuEq (%) = Cu (%) + [3.55 × Mo (%)] + [0.0095 × Ag (g/t)], utilizing
metal prices of Cu - US$3.34/lb, Mo - US$11.86/lb and Ag - US$21.87/oz.

of mineralization. Assay values are uncut.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance
DLP Resources Peru S.A.C a subsidiary of DLP Resources Inc. supervises drilling and carries out sampling
of HTW and NTW core. Logging and sampling are completed at a secured Company facility situated on
the project site. Sample intervals are nominally 1.5 to 2m in length. Drill core is cut in half using a rotary
diamond blade saw and samples are sealed on site before transportation to the ALS Peru S.A.C. sample
preparation facility in Arequipa by Company vehicles and st aff. Prepared samples are sent to Lima by
ALS Peru S.A.C. for analysis. ALS Peru S.A.C. is an independent laboratory. Samples are analyzed for 48
elements using a four-acid digestion and ICP -MS analysis (ME-MS61). In addition, sequential copper
- 3 -
analyses are done and reports, soluble copper using sulphuric acid leach, soluble copper in cyanide
leach, residual copper and total copper. ALS meets all requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC
17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 for analytical procedures.
DLP Res ources independently monitors quality control and quality assurance (“QA/QC”) through a
program that includes the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards), blanks and pulp
duplicate samples. The company is not aware of any drilling, sam pling, recovery or other factors that
could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data reported from 0m to 708.55 in A23-006.
Aurora Project
Aurora Project as an advanced stage porphyry copper-molybdenum exploration project in the Province
of Calca, SE Peru (Figure 1). The Aurora Project was previously permitted for drilling in 2015 but was
never executed. Thirteen historical drill holes, drilled in 2001 and 2005 totaling 3,900m were drilled
over an area of approximately 1000m by 80 0m, cut significant intervals of copper and molybdenum
mineralization. From logging of the only three remaining holes DDA -01, DDA-3A and DDA-3 and data
now available, it appears that only three of the thirteen holes tested the enriched copper zone and
only one hole drilled deep enough to test the primary copper and molybdenum zone (see DLP
Resources Inc. news release of May 18, 2021)
Salient historic drill hole data of the Aurora Project are:
• 190m @ 0.57% Cu, 0.008% Mo in DDA-1 with a high-grade intercept of 20m @ 1.01% Cu related
to a supergene enrichment zone of secondary chalcocite;
• 142m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.004% Mo in DDA-3;
• 71.7m @ 0.7% Cu, 0.007% Mo in DDA-3A (see historical Focus Ventures Ltd. news release July
11, 2012); and
• One of the historical holes ABC-6 drilled on the edge of the system intersected 78m @ 0.45%
Cu and 0.107% Mo (Figure 2)
A review of the historical drilling indicates that the majority of the thirteen holes were drilled in the
leached and partially leached zones of the porphyry system. Ten of the thirteen holes never fully tested
the oxide and secondary enrichment zone and/or the primary copper zone at depth encountered in
DDA-01. Copper -molybdenum mineralization is hosted by quartz -feldspar porphyries intruded into
slates-hornfels and pelitic sandstones belonging to the Ordovician (439 - 463 ma) Sandia Formation.
