Eloro Resources Stakes Additional Properties in the Iska Iska Polymetallic Property Area, Potosi Department, Southern Bolivia
(firmenpresse) - Toronto, Canada, October 14, 2020 - Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF FSE: P2QM) (Eloro, or the Company) is pleased to announce that Minera Tupiza S.R.L., Eloros Bolivian subsidiary has staked nine (9) additional properties (known as Mining Areas under Bolivian law) covering a total of 311.75 square kilometres in the Potosí Department, southern Bolivia where Iska Iska is located as shown in Figure 1. The geological characteristics and target mineralization of these properties are summarized in Table 1. Figure 2 shows the regional geology in the area of the new properties. The properties are located on prominent ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) anomalies with a similar hydrothermal alteration signature to that of Iska Iska. The Tup-5 property ties directly onto the Iska Iska property.
Tom Larsen, President and CEO of Eloro, commented: As outlined in the NI 43-101 Technical Report by Micon International (see press release April 29, 2020), Iska Iska has excellent potential to host a significant silver polymetallic mineral deposit. We are currently carrying out an underground drill program (see press release September 14, 2020) with results pending. Acquisition of these additional properties which appear to have similar hydrothermal alteration signatures to Iska Iska further expands our very prospective land position in the area.

About Iska Iska
Iska Iska polymetallic project is a road accessible, royalty-free property, wholly-controlled by the Title Holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. and is located 48 km north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi. The property can be classified as a polymetallic (Ag, Zn, Pb, Au, Cu, Bi, Sn, In) epithermal-porphyry complex. This is an important mineral deposit type in Bolivia.
Geological mapping on the property by Eloro has revealed the spatial and temporal zonation of alteration and vein minerals in an area of about 5 square kilometres. The polymetallic mineralization occurs mainly as veins, subsidiary vein swarms, veinlets, stockworks, and disseminations, forming a subvertical vein system in both the stock and the volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Preliminary evaluation work including 42 channel samples in underground and on surface workings at Iska Iska returned significant results as summarized below. All of the channel samples included altered wall rock with widths ranging between 1.20 to 5.55 m, averaging 2.90 m (see press release of October 8, 2019 for further details).
- Silver. Anomalous silver values range between 35.5-694 g/t Ag (46% of channel samples).
- Gold. Anomalous gold values range between 0.31-28.6 g/t Au (42% of channel samples).
- Zinc. Anomalous zinc values range between 1.05-16.95% Zn (37% of channel samples).
- Lead. Anomalous lead values range between 0.41- 16.95% Pb (49% of channel samples).
- Copper. Anomalous copper values range between 0.1->1% (22% of channel samples).
- Bismuth. Anomalous bismuth values range between 967-7,380 g/t Bi (22% of channel samples).
- Indium. Anomalous indium values range between 10.35->500 g/t In (34% of channel samples).
