Orestone Provides Captain Gold-Copper Porphyry Project Update
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2020) - Orestone Mining Corp. (TSXV: ORS) (WKN: A2DWW7) (the "Company") is pleased to provide this update on operational activities in preparation for drilling on the Captain gold-copper porphyry project, in British Columbia this fall.
The Company has received an approved 2020 Notice of Work from the BC Ministry of Mines and Petroleum Resources for 24 drill locations to test the 10 large magnetic high targets located on the east and west flanks of a central magnetic diorite intrusive.
An Assessment Report covering the 2019 drilling has been filed with a portion of the exploration expenditures applied to extend the expiry dates of key mineral claims until 2030.
A Reclamation Report has been filed on previous exploration and drilling programs which has reduced the bonding requirement resulting in a return of funds.
Management continues to engage in introducing the property to potential joint venture partners to advance the discovery process.
"Previous drilling at Captain has demonstrated that we are dealing with a cluster of gold enriched porphyry targets highlighted by several drill intervals of 90 to 164 metres in length with values averaging 0.30 g/t gold and 0.06% copper; higher grades in hole C12-05 with intervals of 6.1 and 9.1 metres of 4.45 and 6.46 g/t gold and 0.51% and 0.27% copper respectively are further evidence of a strong mineralizing system. Of the 10 targets outlined on the Captain project only two have been drill tested to date and we look forward to additional drilling this fall," stated David Hottman, CEO of Orestone Mining Corp.
The 100% owned Captain project hosts a gold-copper porphyry system measuring 5 x 9 kilometres which encompasses a cluster of porphyry targets (map link) located approx. 41 kilometres north of Fort St. James, B.C. and 30 kilometres south of the Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine. The project features relatively flat terrain, moderate tree cover and an extensive network of logging and Forest Service roads suitable for exploration year around.

The Captain project as well as Orestone's Resguardo project in Chile, are located in structural corridors adjacent to large copper-gold deposits. In Canada, the 100% percent owned Captain project is located 30 km south of the Mt. Milligan Mine, a large copper-gold porphyry. In Chile Orestone's Resguardo project is located in a NNE trending structural corridor 80 kilometres to the south of the El Salvador Mine and the past producing Potrerillos Mine, both large copper-gold porphyries. On both projects copper and gold mineralization, in association with extensive hydrothermal alteration demonstrate the potential for discovery of large copper-gold or gold-copper deposits.
