Eloro Resources Ltd. Files NI 43-101 Technical Report by Micon on the Iska Iska
Polymetallic Property, Potosi Department, Southern Bolivia
Toronto, Canada, April 29, 2020 – Eloro Resources L td. (TSX-V: ELO; FSE: P2Q) (“Eloro”,
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has filed on SEDAR an independent
technical report (“Report”) by Micon International Limited (“Micon”), prepared in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosur e for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). This
report, authored by Messrs. Charley Murahwi, P.Geo. , Pr. Sci. Nat., FAusIMM and Richard
Gowans, P.Eng., of Micon, supports Eloro’s planned exploration program at the Iska Iska
polymetallic epithermal-porphyry project (“Iska Iska” or the “Project”), in the Potosí Department,
southern Bolivia by Minera Tupiza S.R.L., Eloro’s wholly-owned Bolivian subsidiary. The Report
will also be posted on the Company’s website, www.elororesources.com.
In the Report, Micon concludes: “ The proximity of the Project to world class deposit s confirms
the favourable geological setting. In the Qualified Person’s (“QP”) experience, the optimal place
to explore is in the vicinity of an operating mine. It remains to be established whether this will be
the case at Iska Iska. Overall, Micon is of the opi nion that further exploration of the Iska Iska
property is merited based on the promising reconnai ssance sampling results, which have been
independently verified by the Micon QP. The geologi cal model and concepts being applied by
Eloro are sound. The deposit, if developed, renders itself amenable to both open pit and bulk
underground mining. ”
A US$1,040,000 two-phase exploration program is rec ommended in the Report. Phase I is a
limited office study estimated at US$40,000, due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 global
pandemic. The Phase II exploration program includes 3,500m of underground drilling as well as
geological mapping, trenching and sampling. The es timated cost of Phase II is US$1,000,000.
Micon concludes that the budget under consideration is reasonable and justified and
recommends that Eloro conduct the planned activities.
Tom Larsen, President & CEO of Eloro commented: “The Company is very pleased with Micon’s
efforts in completing the Iska Iska NI 43-101 Repor t and we are fortunate that the lead author,
Charley Murahwi, made the site visit in January 202 0, just prior to Bolivia’s COVID-19 related
travel restrictions. The Report clearly defines Eloro’s next steps to advance this project, in order
to unlock the potential unrealized value at Iska Iska. We are also pleased to have highly regarded
Bolivian geoscientist, Dr. Osvaldo Arce, supervise the proposed surface and underground drilling
programs and grateful to the Villegas family, Iska Iska’s owners, for giving Eloro the opportunity
to advance this highly prospective property.”

Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi. T he property can be classified as a
polymetallic (Ag, Zn, Pb, Au, Cu, Bi, Sn, In) epith ermal-porphyry complex. This is an important
mineral deposit type in Bolivia.
Geological mapping on the property by Eloro has rev ealed the spatial and temporal zonation of
alteration and vein minerals in an area of about 5 square kilometres. The polymetallic
mineralization occurs mainly as veins, subsidiary v ein swarms, veinlets, stockworks, and
disseminations, forming a subvertical vein system i n both the stock and the volcanic and
sedimentary rocks. Preliminary evaluation work inc luding 42 channel samples in underground
and on surface workings at Iska Iska returned significant results as summarized below. All of the
channel samples included altered wall rock with wid ths ranging between 1.20 to 5.55 m,
averaging 2.90 m (see press release of October 8, 2019 for further details).
Silver. Anomalous silver values range between 35.5-694 g/t Ag (46% of channel samples).
Gold. Anomalous gold values range between 0.31-28.6 g/t Au (42% of channel samples).
Zinc. Anomalous zinc values range between 1.05-16.95% Zn (37% of channel samples).
Lead. Anomalous lead values range between 0.41-16.95% Pb (49% of channel samples).
Copper. Anomalous copper values range between 0.1->1% (22% of channel samples).
Bismuth. Anomalous bismuth values range between 967-7,380 g/ t Bi (22% of channel
samples).
Indium. Anomalous indium values range between 10.35->500 g/ t In (34% of channel
samples).
