Orsu Metals Doubles the Mineralized Footprint of Its Sergeevskoe Gold Project, Russia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2019 / Orsu Metals Corporation (TSXV:OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the final trenching and drilling results of the 2019 exploration program at its Sergeevskoe Property, Zabaikalskiy Krai, Russian Federation.

Highlights:

• New mineralized clusters were identified at Kozie North, Peak Klyuchi, Sergeeva, increasing the footprint of the gold mineralized system to 2x1 km

• 2019 drilling and trenching at Kozie, Klyuch West and Zone 23 West suggests reshaping of some mineralized zones

Based on 2019 drilling (3555.45 m in 14 holes) and trenching (2794.8 m in 14 trenches) exploration program Orsu identified new, and extended previously recognized, mineralized zones at its Sergeevskoe gold project (Figure 1).

New mineralized zones were discovered at Peak Klyuchi, Sergeeva and to the north of Kozie, with individual veins varying in length from 250 to 425 m and more than 200 m to a depth.

Orsu also tested Zone 23 West, the deep parts of Intermediate and Kozie domains, with results in several instances reshaping and increasing the extent of gold-mineralized veins. These results demonstrate an increase of the mineralized footprint to 2x1 km (Figure 2). Structurally, gold mineralization at Kozie, Peak Klyuchi, Klyuchi West and Intermediate domains occurs in northwest-trending quartz-tourmaline-sulphide veins obliquely controlled by major west-east-trending dextral strike-slip faults. The Shirotnyi fault also controls swarms of sulphide-quartz veins, generally trending west to east, but also forming splays extending to the south at Adit 5 and in the western domain of Zone 23.

Based on these results Orsu is planning to update a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate at Sergeevskoe.

Table 1 shows gold-mineralized intercepts. All widths are core or channel width. True width is not known at this time but is estimated at ~70%. All assay values are uncut.

Table 1. Mineralized intercepts in 2019 drillholes and trenches at Intermediate, Adit 5 West, Zone 23 West, Kozie South, Kozie, Kozie North, and Sergeeva domains (above 0.5 g/t Au cut-off).

The above intercepts are based on a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off for compositing of the mineralized intervals, with maximum 2 m core length of 0.3-0.5 g/t Au mineralization included into a mineralized interval. Composited intervals in drill holes are presented uncapped. The assays for some drill holes and trenches are pending.

Quality Assurance - Quality Control ("QA/QC")

Thorough QA/QC protocols are followed on the project including insertion of duplicate, blank and standard samples in all channel and drill core samples. Duplicate samples were inserted after every 20 samples. All standard samples were inserted once per 20 samples. Blanks were also inserted once per 20 samples and consisted of the previously assayed barren granitoid rocks.

Samples were submitted directly to the SGS Vostok and ALS laboratories in Chita, Russia, which are both independent from Orsu, for sample preparation and analysis. Analysis for Au is performed using fire assay method with atomic absorption ("AA") finish and with a gravimetric finish for samples exceeding 10 g/t Au. Results published are from the gravimetric finish if above 10 g/t Au and from the AA finish if lower than 10 g/t Au.
