Eloro Outlines Major New Mineralized Trend on La Victoria Project,
Peru; Sample Results Return Values To 33 Grams Gold Per Tonne
Toronto, Canada, June 13, 2017 – Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; FSE: P2Q; “Eloro”) is pleased
to announce that the ongoing reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling program has outlined a
major new mineralized trend in the Victoria South ar ea of the La Victoria Gold-Silver Project, Ancash
Department, in the North-Central Mineral Belt of Peru. This mineralized area appears to be closely
associated with the Puca Fault, a major northeast-southwe st striking regional fault that is a likely feeder
structure for multiple stages of epithermal gold-silver mineralization on the property (Figures 1, 2 and 3).
Geologically the style of mineralization is similar to th at of Rufina located approximately 1.7 kilometres to
the southwest (Figures 1 and 3) and is the likely northern continuation.
Assays from an initial twenty-two rock chip samples returned encouraging results (Figure 2; Table 1):
• 33.02 grams gold per tonne (g Au/t) over 0.30 metres across a quartz vein with arsenopyrite and
pyrite, in intrusive diorite;
• 8.02 g Au/t over 0.20 metres, in the inters ection of a series of low-angle structures;
• 5.46 g Au/t Au gold across a 0.30-metre-wide quartz vein in altered diorite, with disseminated
arsenopyrite and pyrite.
In addition to the higher-gr ade bonanza-style gold mineralization, significant results were also returned
from limited sampling of the host breccia zones including 13.66 g Au/t over 1.10 metres, 2.73 g Au/t over
0.20 metres and 1.10 g Au/t over 0.60 metres. Much of the mineralized breccia is not well exposed and
has been heavily oxidized hence trenching will be required to more accurately assess its potential.
The new mineralized zone at Victoria South is approximately 170 metres wide and strikes northwest-
southeast extending for at least 1 kilometre along strike (Figure 2). It appears likely (see Figure 1 and 3)
that this zone is the southern continuation of the mineralized zone at San Markito which is marked by
strong induced polarization anomalies that also tr end northwest-southeast. This would suggest the
potential strike length may be more than 3 kilometres. A second target at Victoria South, the breccia
zone, that trends northeast-southwest for approximat ely 850 metres, is up to 200 metres wide and is a
potential target for bulk tonnage mineralization. Trenc hing is required to better expose this zone for
sampling.
Tom Larsen, President & CEO of Eloro commented: “We are very encouraged by the results of the
geological work which continues to expand our know n mineralized zones and outline additional targets
for diamond drilling. Our Peruvian-based team lead by Vice President, Exploration Luc Pigeon, P.Geo.,
is working on completing the final details for pe rmitting of the planned diamond drilling program. In
addition, a new DIA will be filed for proposed drilling in the Victoria South and Ccori Orrco target areas
based on the new promising results.”
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., Chief Technical Advisor to Eloro commented: “Our geological work continues to
show that there is an extensive multi-phase epither mal gold-silver mineralizing system on La Victoria
property centred around the Puca Fault and environs (Figures 1 and 3). Gold mineralization occurs in a
variety of structural settings both parallel to the no rtheast trending Puca Fault as well as perpendicular
along likely tear faults related to this structure. Mineralization has been identified vertically over 1
kilometre from elevation 3100 metres at Rufina to elevation 4200m at San Markito as well as along strike
on different structures for up to 3+ kilometres. We are continuing to focus our work on outlining the best
targets for diamond drilling.”
