Torque Metals Hits 7m at 2.8 g/t Gold in New HHH Lode Discovery

Exploration Advances at HHH Deposit

Torque Metals has unveiled compelling new data from its HHH gold deposit within the Paris Gold Camp, Western Australia, confirming that mineralisation continues well beyond previously defined boundaries. The company’s application of Down-hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys has identified multiple new east-west oriented gold lodes south of the existing resource, challenging earlier models that assumed a single north-south trending lode.

Step-out drilling has intersected significant high-grade gold zones, including 7 metres at 2.8 grams per tonne (g/t) from 113 metres depth and a newly discovered deeper lode with 4 metres at 2.7 g/t gold from 301 metres. These results not only extend the known mineralisation but also highlight the deposit’s shallow nature, with high-grade zones encountered at approximately 150 vertical metres, making it an attractive target for further exploration.

DHEM Vectoring Validates New Geological Insights

The identification of multiple conductor plates through DHEM surveys has been pivotal in refining the geological understanding of HHH. Three distinct conductor plates were identified approximately 80 metres south of the main lode, and a further new lode was confirmed about 180 metres south. These discoveries suggest a more complex, multi-lode system with mineralisation extending laterally and at depth, mirroring the Paris deposit’s structural framework.

Torque’s Managing Director, Cristian Moreno, emphasised the significance of these findings, noting that the same DHEM-guided methodology that unlocked over a kilometre of strike extensions at Paris is now proving equally effective at HHH. The sulphide-rich, pyrrhotite-associated gold mineralisation generates strong conductive responses, providing reliable vectors for targeting future drilling.

Broader Implications for the Paris Gold Camp

The HHH deposit forms a key part of the Paris Gold Project, which collectively hosts a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of approximately 250,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 3.1 g/t. Within this, HHH alone contains around 73,000 ounces and remains underexplored, with mineralisation open in multiple directions.

Torque plans to systematically apply DHEM vectoring across the Paris Gold Camp to delineate additional mineralised structures and expand the resource base. The project’s location near established gold producers like Westgold’s Beta Hunt and St Ives Goldfields further underscores its strategic potential.

Next Steps and Exploration Outlook

With DHEM now validated as an effective exploration tool at HHH, Torque is poised to accelerate drilling programs targeting the newly defined conductor plates. This approach aims to unlock further extensions of the mineralised system, refine geological models, and potentially increase the resource inventory.

While true widths of mineralisation are yet to be established and economic viability remains to be assessed, these results mark a significant step forward in understanding the HHH deposit’s scale and complexity.
