INCLUDING 2 METERS AT 3.95% CU EQ AND MULTIPLE 2 METRES INTERSECTIONS OVER 1.00% CU EQ

Significant copper and molybdenum intersections include:

  • HM19: 116 m from near surface @ 0.54% CuEq

  • HM20: 26.00 m @ 0.44% CuEq

  • HM24: 44.00 m 0.32% CuEq

  • HM36: 207 m @ 0.49% Cu Eq including 92.00 m @ 0.58% CuEq

  • HM37: 255 m from surface @ 0.36% CuEq including 38.00 m @ 0.45% and 98.00 m @ 0.44% CuEq

  • All drill intercepts included multiple + 2 metre samples with > 1.00% CuEq with one interval returning 3.95% CuEq, the highest in the history of the project

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koryx Copper Inc. ("Koryx" or “the Company") (TSX-V: KRY) announces the fifth assay results from its current drill program at its Haib Copper project in southern Namibia. The Company’s latest four drill holes continue to confirm that the deposit can deliver high grades over substantial widths within the known historical resource.

Pierre Léveillé, President & CEO of Koryx stated that: "We keep generating very positive results that demonstrate that the average grade of the deposit could be higher than the previous Mineral Resource Estimation. We are highly satisfied with those results which clearly add significant value to the deposit. We still have 9 holes that have been drilled with assays yet to be reported.”

The 5 holes for which assay results are reported here, cover 1,012.34 metres with 3 of the holes drilled in the centre of the Pit1 target area to close the sample spacing. The other 2 holes were drilled closer to the southern edge of the Pit1 target area primarily to better delineate the geometry of the multiple higher grade zones that have been shown to occur here and to close the sample spacing. Assay results of significant intersections are tabulated below:

  1. Width refers to intersection width; true widths have not been determined.

  2. CuEq (copper equivalent) has been used to express the combined value of copper and molybdenum and is provided for illustrative purposes only. No allowances have been made of recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. Calculations use metal prices of US$3.00/lb copper, US$10/lb molybdenum using the formula: CuEq% = Cu% + (Mo% [$10/$3])
