Paris is a multi-lode gold system, Torque Metals has confirmed

Paris is a multi-lode gold system, Torque Metals (ASX:TOR) has confirmed this week, with recent drilling identifying down-plunge continuity of at least 700 metres below the mineral resource estimate, and stacked lodes of up to two metres true thickness remaining open to the south and southwest.

The company has built on the successful step-out drilling completed at the project southeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia in CY25, with its drilling strategy evolved to focus on horizontal extensional drilling, with the objective of increasing ounces per vertical metre and advancing a future mineral resource update.

“These latest results reinforce our interpretation of Paris as a scalable, multi-lode gold system rather than a single, narrow shoot,” Torque’s managing director, Cristian Moreno, said, highlighting an intercept of 20 metres at 5.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, including seven metres at 13.5 g/t gold.

Mr Moreno added that the hits confirmed strong along-strike continuity of high-grade mineralisation and support a strategy of systematically increasing ounces per vertical metre within the existing resource framework.

“The continued success of our DHEM-guided targeting is particularly encouraging. The intersection of high-grade mineralisation at more than 340m vertical depth, together with newly identified off-hole conductor plates, highlights clear potential for further extensions down-plunge and along strike beyond the current resource envelope,” he told Torque shareholders on Thursday.

“In addition, the identification of a new shallow mineralised structure south of the Paris deposit introduces another growth front. The presence of oxide and transitional mineralisation near infrastructure is strategically important, particularly as we advance drilling under a multi-rig program toward the next mineral resource update and ongoing development studies.

“The 250K ounce estimate at 3.1 g/t provides a strong foundation, with mineralisation open in multiple directions and clear potential for further growth.”

Lying in a highly endowed gold district near established operations such as Westgold’s Beta Hunt and St Ives Goldfields, Paris continues to demonstrate the scale, continuity, and strategic positioning expected of an emerging camp.

Torque’s entire Paris exploration camp covers approximately 1,200 sqkm of land, including 16 mining leases, two prospecting licences, and 48 exploration licences around 90km southeast of Kalgoorlie in WA.

TOR was last down -0.9% on Thursday, selling at 28cps.
