TRES-OR ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF DRILLING AT THE GUIGUES PIPE IN QUEBEC
13-Jan-2020
Vancouver, B.C. – January 13, 2020 - Tres-Or Resources Ltd. (“Tres-Or” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TRS, OTCPK: TRSFF) is pleased to announce completion of the 2019 drill program at the Guigues Kimberlite pipe in southwestern Quebec. The program completed 5 HQ core drill holes from two set-ups totaling 1,432 m. Each of the 5 completed holes intersected kimberlite, and the two vertical holes ended at 300 m in kimberlite.
The drilling has successfully provided samples for modern microdiamond testing to evaluate the potential of the Guigues Kimberlite to carry diamonds. Preliminary core logging was completed at a secure facility near the drilling. Samples will be delivered to independent Canadian laboratories.
Guigues’ highly encouraging indicator mineral chemistry is closely similar to De Beers’ Victor Diamond Mine, and differs from the standard model for diamond exploration, by being based on a high-priority potential source of diamonds from mantle eclogite and lherzolite rocks, instead of the standard harzburgite (G10) sources (as described in the Company’s news release of December 9, 2019). Encouraging orange (eclogitic) and purple (lherzolitic) garnets, as well as eclogite and lherzolite xenoliths were logged in core. Tres-Or looks forward to reporting the microdiamond sample results as soon as they are available.
The Company has posted a new investor presentation regarding the Guigues Kimberlite Pipe – Opportunity for Discovery on its website’s landing page (www.tres-or.com).
