Sorrento Resources Announces Soil and Rock Sampling Results from Copper-Gold Lord Baron Project, Newfoundland
Sorrento Resources (CSE: SRS) (OTCQB: SRSLF) has announced results from its September 2024 soil sampling and prospecting program at the Lord Baron Property in Newfoundland. The program collected 59 B-Horizon soil samples and one grab sample, revealing notable findings:
Key highlights include a B-Horizon soil sample yielding 0.577g/t Au and five samples showing anomalous copper content (>100ppm), with the highest returning 461ppm Cu. The soil anomalies correlate with a Northeast-Southwest trending structure and remain open to the south. The sampling area is located less than 3km from the historic Whalesback and Little Deer Mines and within 1km of the Clam Pond gold occurrence.
The results are significant as they indicate potential further mineralization in the previously untested area. The company plans to conduct follow-up exploration with additional soil sampling, prospecting, and heavy metal content till sampling.

Soil Sampling and Prospecting
Soil sampling and prospecting was carried out during September 2024 on the Lord Baron property and included the collection of 59 B-Horizon soil samples along with one grab sample. Soil samples were collected over a grid approximately 100m x 200m. Analytical results have now been received and reviewed by the company.
The soil sampling was concentrated in the Clam Pond area which has had very little prior exploration carried out despite being in close proximity to the historic Whalesback and Little Deer mines. A grab sample of a float boulder was collected in the area of the CSCJV-1 Cu-Au showing; however, it yielded no anomalous results.
The results of the soil sampling program are significant since they support the potential for there to be further mineralization in the area. In addition, the soil anomalies are interpreted to correlate with a NE-SW trending fault structure. This fault is sub-parallel with the Whalesback and Little Deer mines geological structures. The company plans to follow up on this "first pass" exploration program with further soil sampling, prospecting, and heavy metal content (HMC) till sampling.

About the Lord Baron Project
The Lord Baron Project is located on the Springdale peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador near the towns of Springdale, Little Bay, and Beachside. The region has a rich mining history and is host to a skilled workforce, several diamond drilling contractors, a NI-43-101 compliant assay lab, and mining equipment and parts suppliers. In addition, it is adjacent to deep water ports, industrial hydroelectric power supply, and is in proximity to the Nugget Pond mill.
The Project consists of 15 individual mineral licenses made up of 256 individual claims for an area of 6,400ha. The Project is predominately underlain by rocks of the Lush's Bight Group of the tectonostratigraphic Dunnage Zone of the Appalachian Orogen. The Lush's Bight Group is a Cambro-Ordovician sequence of ophiolitic metavolcanic rocks representing a portion of the oceanic crust of the proto-Atlantic Ocean, the Iapetus Sea. The group has been metamorphosed to greenschist facies and has undergone extensive faulting related to the initial formation of oceanic crust as well as the Taconic and Acadian Orogenies.
The Lush's Bight Group contains more base metal sulphide showings per square kilometer than any other group of rocks in Newfoundland. The showings typically occur in an envelope of chlorite schist.
Management Commentary
Alex Bugden, P. Geo., CEO, President and Qualified Person of Sorrento Resources Ltd., commented, "This is very exciting news with regards to the Lord Baron Project. This first pass exploration program has yielded impressive outcomes and highlights the potential for new discovery. Typically, any gold in soil which returns 50ppb or higher is considered anomalous, so to get 577ppb gold is impressive. We are keen to follow up on these results and further expand on them."
