DEEP-SOUTH HAS COMPLETED A SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAMME
ON 2 OF THE ZAMBIAN PROJECTS
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Jan. 9, 2023
/CNW/ - Deep-South Resources Inc. ("
Deep-South
" or the Company) (TSXV: DSM) announces that it has
completed the soil sampling program on the Luanshya West project and on the Chililabombwe project. The program on the Mpongwe project has
been postponed to 2023 due to difficult weather.
The program completed:
Luanshya West
Project
(licence 23246):
1980 soil samples
have been delivered to the laboratory for assays. The samples were collected on a regional grid of 500 x 100 and an infill grid
of 100 x 100 metres. The program covered 3 targets where 5 large anomalies have been identified from soil sampling and geophysical survey
results compiled by Teal in 2009. Assay results are expected during the month of
January 2023
and will be disclosed to our shareholders in due
course.
The licence is situated in the center of the Zambian Copper belt and covers 5,423.26 hectares (54.24 Sq. Km). The project area is close to
established copper / cobalt mines with Chibuluma South mine some 10 kms north-east of the project area; Chambishi mine 41Km north-northeast,
N'changa mine 53Km north-northwest and Luanshya mine some 40Km east-southeast from the centre of the project area.
A National Instrument 43-101
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
("43-101") compliant technical qualifying report is available on SEDAR
at
www.sedar.com
under Deep-South's profile or on the Company's web site:

Chililabombwe Project
(licence 23247):
124 soil samples
have been delivered to the laboratory for assays. The samples were collected on a regional grid of 500 x 100 metres. Assay
results are expected during the month of
January 2023
and will be disclosed to our shareholders in due course.
In this particular area, due to their abundance, termite mounds will be sampled rather than digging sample holes. This is because termites bring
material to the surface from considerable depth and therefore sample at a greater depth than a regular soil sample.
The licence is situated in the north of the Zambia Copper belt near the DRC border. The Large Exploration Licence covers 2,200 hectares (22.5
Sq, Km). The project is situated within 10 km of the Konkola Copper mine, one of the largest integrated copper mines in
Zambia
.
Deep-South completed the soil sampling programme on 2 of the Zambian projects (CNW Group/Deep-South Resources Inc.)
Mpongwe Project
(licence 23248). The program on this licence has been postponed to 2023 due to difficult weather. The program will resume
when weather allows and when the area is dry enough to enable sample collection. This licence is situated on the southern side of the Zambian
Copper belt. The Large Exploration Licence covers 67,500 hectares (675 Sq. Km).
No Mineral Resources have been estimated on these projects as they have not demonstrated economic viability at this stage
. The historical
geophysical survey and sampling results demonstrate potential to classify the Luanshya West project as one of merit but
are considered
too
speculative geologically to complete a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation at this time and it is uncertain that those historic results will be
converted into minerals resources.
