11.8.2021 01:33:22 CEST | ACCESS Newswire | Press release
PERTH, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2021 / Tempus Resources Ltd (" Tempus " or the " Company ") (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR)(OTCQB:TMRFF) is pleased to announce it has received the first assay results from 2021 drilling at its Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern BC, Canada, consisting of results for one hole, EZ-21-04.
HIGHLIGHTS
- First assay results return ‘bonanza' grade gold mineralisation in diamond drill hole EZ-21-04
- The EZ-21-04 significant intersection was:
- 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00m, including:
- 1.50m at 52.1g/t gold from 123.00m, and:
- 0.50m at 72.0 g/t Au from 124.0m
- 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00m, including:
- 14 drill-holes completed so far at Elizabeth with multiple assays pending:
- Assays for remaining three of first four drill-hole batch expected imminently
- Another four holes submitted to the lab in a second batch in July
- Additional seven holes completed, with samples being prepared to be sent to the lab
- Continued diamond drilling at Elizabeth has confirmed SW Vein mineralisation in drill-holes along strike and down dip of historical resource envelope
Hole EZ-21-04 returned ‘bonanza' grade gold values. The main significant intersection was 4.00 metres at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00 metres down-hole depth, including 1.50 metres at 52.1g/t gold from 123.00 and including 0.50 metres at 72.0 g/t gold . See Figure 1.
Tempus President and CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented "Drilling at Elizabeth continues to generate very high-grade intersections over robust widths. We will be receiving further assay results soon and we're very excited to see the results as we continue to expand the Elizabeth resource envelope."
EZ-21-04 is part of the group of the first four drill-holes of the 2021 program, which were designed to intersect the northern ore-shoot of the SW Vein at Elizabeth to test the consistency of grade and add to the confidence level for resource estimation. That first group of holes were delivered to the lab for analysis on 24 June 2021 and the results of the additional three holes in that batch (EZ-21-01, EZ-21-02 and EZ-21-03) are expected imminently. Given the very high-grade nature of EZ-21-04 and our expectations for other holes in that batch, Tempus has also asked the lab to perform additional tests using screen metallics, which is a technique used for core with coarse grained gold core. These metallic screen results are still pending and will also be release after they have been received.
Tempus has completed 3,600m of drilling since the program started 5 June 2021 which consists of 14 diamond drill holes. Drill collar information can be seen in Appendix 1, Table 1. Seven of these drill holes are in the analysis phase at SGS and additional holes in the preparation phase on site.

Tempus' technical team continue to be encouraged by what they are seeing in the drill core as drilling continues to systematically explore down dip of the southern and northern ore-shoots as well as drill test along strike to the north. See Figures 2 & 3 for recent drill-hole locations.
The Elizabeth Gold Project is the flagship project for Tempus and is located in the Bralorne Gold District of southern British Columbia. The 115km 2 project is a relatively underexplored high-grade mesothermal gold mineralisation presenting itself in relatively wide (typically ~1-5m wide) vein sets. The high-grade quartz veins encountered in the drilling at Elizabeth show close geological similarities to the Bralorne mesothermal vein system (approximately 30km away), which was mined to a depth of approximately 2,000 metres and produced more than 4 million ounces of gold over a period of 50 years.

Mining operations lasted six months and ended in May of 1999. During this period,6,547 oz of Au and 17,300 oz of Ag were producedfrom 21,268 tons of ore. Further exploration programs were continued by Claimstaker over the following years and a Japanese joint venture partnerwas brought onboardthat prompted a name changeto J-Pacific Gold Inc. This partnership was terminated by 2010, resulting in another name change to Sona Resources Corp.
