Drilling across the valley of the Iska Iska Calder a indicates that this area is underlain by a
coarse-grained porphyritic dacitic intrusion that is well mineralized with Ag, Zn and Pb and is
the likely source of the extensive epithermal mineralization in the Santa Barbara and Central
Breccia areas.
The porphyry, now named the Iska Iska Porphyry , is approximately 800m by 600m and is
notable for the absence of tin mineralization despite the abundance of tin in the nearby area.

The tin at Iska Iska is likely the product of an e arlier higher temperature and deeper tin
porphyry, which has been overprinted by the later higher-level porphyry-epithermal Ag-Zn-Pb
mineralization related to the Iska Iska Porphyry.
The definition drilling has more than doubled the volume of the High-Grade Zone defined
by the >90 g Ag eq/t grade shell model to approximately 1,000m along strike, 800m wide
and extending to a depth of 1,100m. This zone is open to the south, west and northwest
as well as at depth.
Eloro is working closely with Micon International to provide all data necessary for estimation
of the inaugural mineral resource estimate targeted for the end of Q1 2023.
Magnetic inverse modelling and limited deep drilli ng suggest that the major tin porphyry is
likely below the Iska Iska Porphyry and to the sout h and southwest in the Porco and
Mina Casiterita areas.
The tin porphyry will be a major focus of exploration in 2023.
Toronto, Canada, January 31, 2023 – Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE:
P2QM) (“Eloro”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from eight (8) additional
diamond drill holes from its definition drilling program at the Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in
the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia. Hole DHK-27 was drilled from Huayra Kasa due west at -
45 degrees to a length of 860m to fill-in gaps in p revious drilling of the High-Grade Zone . Five (5)
additional holes (DHK-26. DHK-28, DHK-29, DHK-30 and DSB-42) were drilled to the southwest from
the Huayra Kasa area to test the eastern margin of the Santa Barbara deposit. Hole DSB-43 was
drilled on southwest side of Santa Barbara and hole DSB-46 tested the potential south-southeastern
extension.
As previously reported in a press release dated Nov ember 27, 2022, the Company completed
84,495m of drilling in 122 holes to complete the definition drill program in the Santa Barbara target
area, as shown in Figure 1. Tables 1 and 2 list si gnificant assay results for the reported drill holes.
Prices used for calculating Ag equivalent grades ar e as outlined in Eloro’s July 21, 2022 press
release. Table 3 summarizes drill holes completed but with assays pending. The remaining eight
(8) holes outstanding are in the south-southeastern extension area of the southern part of the Iska
Iska caldera.
In addition to the new drill results, the Company is pleased to report on channel sampling results from
the Mina 1 and Mina 2 underground workings located approximately 2km south-southeast of the
Santa Barbara adit and approximately 800m east of the Porco adit where previously reported channel
sampling returned a 103m strike length grading 521 g Ag eq/t (g 117g Ag/t, 1.44 g Au/t, 0.54% Cu
and 0.66% Sn) in altered basement sediments (see Eloro’s November 17, 2021 press release). The
location of Mina 1 and Mina 2 is shown in Figure 1. Complete channel sampling results are listed in
Tables 4 and 5.
Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro, said: “Hole DHK-27 when determining grade times intercept of 65,887 g
Ag eq/t-m is the 2nd most valuable drill hole recor ded to date and only just behind the 441-meter
66,389 g Ag eq/t-m intersection in hole DSB-30 reported last fall (see press release September 20,
2022). These are remarkable intercepts and grades. The significance of DHK-27 is the consistent
high silver grades averaging 69.80 g Ag/t over a le ngth of 325.48 meters which is close to true
thickness. The higher grade 182.02 g Ag/t over 109. 60 m portion of Hole DHK-27 attests to the
potential of outlining much higher-grade areas in the Santa Barbara deposit with further drilling. It is
also important to note that calculations for equivalent Ag grade in this release are based on July 2022
metal prices which for the major metals at Iska Iska are 13% to 33% lower than current prices hence
the quoted values for silver equivalent are conservative.”

“The technical team under the supervision of Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. and Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo.
are setting up for resumption of diamond drilling i n early February that will target the major tin
porphyry that they believe is below the Iska Iska porphyry and extends into the newly acquired Mina
Casiterita property,” continued Mr. Larsen. “Eloro has a remarkable opportunity to outline a second,
potential world class tin deposit at Iska Iska in addition to the already extensive Santa Barbara silver-
tin polymetallic deposit which is the focus of our inaugural mineral resource estimate expected by the
end of Q1 2023. Expect to see a lot of activity in and around Iska Iska in 2023!"
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Eloro’s Executive Vice President, Exploration commented: “We are working
closely with Micon International to ensure that the y have all the data necessary to complete the
inaugural mineral resource estimate on the Santa Barbara deposit targeted for the end of Q1 2023.
Blue Coast Research in Parksville, B.C. is completi ng their metallurgical studies and Gemin
Associates in Lima, Peru is preparing preliminary e conomic parameters for the mineral resource
estimation. On the ground, the Company has commenced induced polarization surveys on the Mina
Casiterita property and is preparing for the restar t of drilling in early February. The next phase of
exploration drilling will target the potential tin porphyry in the Porco and Mina Casiterita areas. I n
addition, we have also initiated a program of geolo gical mapping, sampling, and prospecting to
evaluate the newly staked properties in the Iska Is ka area which are detailed in our November 22,
2022 press release.”
Updated Geological Model for Iska Iska and its Santa Barbara Deposit
Drilling across the valley of the Iska Iska Caldera indicates that this area is underlain by a coarse-
grained porphyritic dacitic intrusion that is well mineralized with Ag, Zn and Pb and is the likely source
of the extensive epithermal mineralization in the S anta Barbara and Central Breccia areas. The
porphyry, now named the Iska Iska Porphyry , is approximately 800m by 600m (Figure 1) and is
notable for the absence of tin mineralization despite the abundance of tin in the nearby area. The tin
at Iska Iska has been long recognized by Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo., an expert on Bolivian geology,
as likely being the product of an earlier higher temperature and deeper tin porphyry, which has been
overprinted by the later higher-level porphyry-epithermal Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization related to the Iska
Iska porphyry.
Detailed analysis and modeling of the geological, g eophysical, and geochemical data at Iska Iska
indicates that the hydrothermal signature for the I ska Iska porphyry-epithermal system is
approximately 2.8km along strike, up to 1.2km across strike and extending to a depth of at least
1.4km (Figure 1).
The High-Grade Zone that occurs within this extensive hydrothermal system defined by the >90 g
Ag eq/t grade shell model is approximately 1,000m along strike, 800m wide and extends to a
depth of 1,100m (Figure 2). This zone is open to the south, west and northwest as well as at
depth. Magnetic inverse modelling and limited deep drillin g suggest that the major tin porphyry is
likely below the Iska Iska Porphyry and to the south and southwest in the Porco and Mina Casiterita
areas.
The definition drilling program has more than doubled the potential volume of high grade
mineralized material to be assessed for the mineral resource. Figure 2 shows the >90 g Ag eq/t
grade shell model released September 20, 2022, compared to the date of this release. The success
of the definition drilling in expanding the >90 g Ag eq/t zone is readily evident in Table 6, below and
in Figure 2.

The overall mineralized zone as defined by the >30 g Ag eq/t grade shell has a strike length of
2,200m, a width of 1,200m and extends to a depth of at least 1,400m. Note that much of the drilling
at Santa Barbara is at 100m spacing hence further drilling will likely provide better definition of higher-
grade zones within the extensive mineralized envelope.

Channel Sampling Mina 1 and Mina 2
Channel sampling of the Mina1 and Mina2 underground workings in the southern part of the
property, approximately 2km south-southeast of the Santa Barbara adit, returned significant
values from vein breccias as follows:
153.94g Ag eq/t (55.03g Ag/t, 0.11 g Au/t, 0.70% Zn , 0.16% Pb and 0.08% Sn) over

east-west trending crosscut in Mina 2. A second shorter crosscut on a secondary subparallel
structure approximately 20m to the south returned 475.78g Ag eq/t (69.31g Ag/t, 0.26 g Au/t,
5.62% Zn and 1.92% Pb) over 26.67m in Mina 2.
Figure 3 is a plan map showing sampling results at Mina 1 and Mina 2. Table 6 gives details of
the sampling results.
These results, along with the previously reported channel sample results from Porco noted above,
clearly indicate that the Iska Iska mineralizing system extends much further south outside
of the principal Iska Iska Caldera. Based on field work by the Eloro geological team, it appears
that there may be a second, larger ringer structure with a diameter of approximately 4.6km
outside the main Iska Iska caldera that could be an other major focus of mineralization. This
possibility is currently being explored by geological mapping and geophysical surveys to outline
targets for drill-testing in conjunction with work in the Porco area and the nearby Mina Casiterita
property.
