Eloro Resources Provides Update on La Victoria Gold Project, Peru.
Toronto, Canada, August 13 , 2018 – Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; FSE: P2Q) (“Eloro” or the
“Corporation”) is pleased to provide an update on the La Victoria Gold Project in the north-central mineral belt of
Peru which it is exploring with its joint venture partner EHR Resources (“EHR”). EHR currently holds a 10% interest
through its Peruvian subsidiary and is earning up to a 25% interest in La Victoria. Eloro’s Peruvian subsidiary currently
owns a 90% interest in La Victoria. Eloro completed three diamond drill holes totalling 1,242m to test the Rufina East
target area. It was decided that the three holes, ERU-10, ERU-11 and ERU-12 provided a sufficient test of the target
area where significant gold values had been intersected in surface sampling (see press release June 6, 2018).Table
1 gives significant results from each hole. Figure 1 shows the locations of the drill holes and Figure 2 is a geological
cross-section of Holes ERU-11 and ERU-12. Highlights are as follows:
3.71 g Au/t over 1.40m from 367.0m to 368.3m in ERU-10
3.00 g Au/t over 0.60m from 105.7m to 106.3m in ERU-10
1.80 g Au/t over 0.6m from 319.8m to 320.4m in ERU-11
1.33 g Au/t over 1.3m from 88.3m to 89.6m in ERU-11
0.83 g Au/t over 1.5m from 161.7m to 163.2m in ERU-12
0.86 g Au/t over 0.5m from 126.6m to 127.1m in ERU-12
Rufina is one of the six target zones that form part of the La Victoria Gold Project. The drilling by Eloro at Rufina is
the first diamond drilling ever carrie d out on the property. The first and second phases which comprised twelve drill
holes totalling 4,281m (see press releases January 16, 2018 and June 6, 2018), were designed to provide complete
sections across up to 500m strike length of the target zone to test the major NW and N E-SW striking mineralized
structures identified in the surface geological mapping.All the reconnaissance drill holes intersected extensive zones
of mineralization and alteration, including more than sixty anomalous gold intervalsdistributed in about 40 mineralized
structures. Many of these structures correlated with zones mapped on surface. Gold mineralization and alteration at
Rufina occurs over 600 m in width, over 700 m in vertical extent and about 600 m along strike.
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., President of Eloro commented: “Results so far at Rufina are considered positive and provide
indications of a large-scale epithermal gold mineralized system at La Victoria, however further drilling needs to focus
on the likely overall major core area which is believed to be San Markito (Figure 3). San Markito is the best target
zone identified thus far on the property, where gold and silver mineralization are found in an extensive symmetric
alteration zone within both the favourable Chi mú Formation sediments and dioritic intrusives. This target will be the
focus of further drilling at La Victoria going forward. Work is continuing to obtain final drill permits for San Markito.
Tom Larsen, Chairman & CEO said: “ The Eloro geological team h as continued to make good progress in
understanding the extensive and complex epithermal gold system at La Victoria. We will shortly commence a
geological mapping and sampling program at San Markito to be followed by a diamond drill program as soon as the
final drill permit is issued.
