X-Terra Resources Identifies a New Copper Trend at Troilus East

The highlight of the program stems from five holes representing 759 metres drilled on the southwest target. Results received highlighted a strong copper enrichment between 0.1 and 0.3 % over metric intervals of up to 7 metres in length. In addition, the mineralization was intercepted just below surface at vertical depths of 25 metres and 50 metres.

In addition, some lower yet important grade values below 400 ppm (0.04%) and localized gold anomalies ranging from 0.03 to 0.25 g/t were obtained from holes TESW-21-01, TESW-21-05, TESW-21-07, TESW-21-08.

The copper mineralization is related to finely disseminated chalcopyrite associated with wider pyrrhotite halos hosted in varied lithological setting, mostly of mafic composition, composed of basalt to andesite volcanics, diorite to gabbro intrusions and occasional sediments at contacts. The mineralization is associated with a zoned alteration pattern strongly overprinting primary compositions and cross cutting lithological contacts. Mineral assemblages observed have similarities with the neighboring Troilus deposit as previously disclosed by X-Terra in its press release dated July 20, 2021.

The staggered drilled pattern used was 100 to 200 metres spaced out and covers a vertical extent of about 100 metres with one hole reaching a depth of 150 metres. Laterally, the pattern extends for nearly 700 metres along strike. The preliminary interpretation produced to date is based on one section cross cutting the middle of the anomaly. The newly identified copper trend can be traced following a shallow dip between 0 and 45 degrees to the north-west for about 200 metres, which remains to be drilled tested.

Gold anomalies between 0.02 g/t and 0.25 g/t were obtained in different location over the drill pattern, hosted primarily in mafic intrusions and occasionally correlated with copper grades, much like the historic Troilus deposit. A complementary table qualifies

"We are encouraged by the results of this first ever drill program. The copper system identified close to surface covers about 700 metres of strike length and is open in all directions. We also noted strong correlations of gold associated with these copper results and this an important indicator that will require additional follow up work to uncover the true potential of the gold/copper system. We also noted that the copper values are well within the copper grades of the Troilus deposit. Further, this anomaly covers over 1.1 kilometres of the known strike length and just over half has been tested. Given the enrichment of grades towards the northeast, further work is being planned to extend the potential strike length." stated Michael Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra.

Quality assurance/quality control.

X-Terra adheres to a strict quality assurance and quality control program with regard to core handling, sampling, transportation of samples and lab analyses. Samples selected for assay were shipped via secure transportation to the Techni-Lab (S.G.B. Abitibi Inc.) preparation facility in Ste-Germaine Boulé, QC. Rock samples were assayed for gold by standard fire assay on 30-gram fractions with atomic absorption (TMT-G5B) or gravimetric finish (TMT-G5C) at Techni-Lab (S.G.B. Abitibi Inc.). The exploration program is designed and the results are interpreted by qualified persons using a quality assurance/quality control program based on industry best practices, including the use of standards, blanks and duplicates for every 50 samples.
