Rhea-AI Summary

Tempus Resources has announced promising assay results from its Elizabeth Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada. The drilling results from hole EZ-21-04 revealed a significant intersection of 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold, including high grades of 52.1g/t and 72.0g/t gold. Fourteen holes have been completed, with further assays pending. The results indicate strong mineralization consistency, bolstering confidence in resource estimation. The project, located in the Bralorne Gold District, shows geological similarities to a historical mining area that produced over 4 million ounces of gold.

Positive
  • High-grade assay results from drill hole EZ-21-04: 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold.
  • Includes 1.50m at 52.1g/t and 0.50m at 72.0g/t gold.
  • A total of 14 drill holes completed with multiple assays pending.
  • Continued drilling confirms mineralization consistency and expands resource envelope.
Negative
  • None.

PERTH, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2021 / Tempus Resources Ltd (" Tempus " or the " Company ") (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR)(OTCQB:TMRFF) is pleased to announce it has received the first assay results from 2021 drilling at its Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern BC, Canada, consisting of results for one hole, EZ-21-04.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • First assay results return ‘bonanza' grade gold mineralisation in diamond drill hole EZ-21-04
  • The EZ-21-04 significant intersection was:
    • 4.00m at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00m, including:
      • 1.50m at 52.1g/t gold from 123.00m, and:
      • 0.50m at 72.0 g/t Au from 124.0m
  • 14 drill-holes completed so far at Elizabeth with multiple assays pending:
    • Assays for remaining three of first four drill-hole batch expected imminently
    • Another four holes submitted to the lab in a second batch in July
    • Additional seven holes completed, with samples being prepared to be sent to the lab
  • Continued diamond drilling at Elizabeth has confirmed SW Vein mineralisation in drill-holes along strike and down dip of historical resource envelope

Hole EZ-21-04 returned ‘bonanza' grade gold values. The main significant intersection was 4.00 metres at 31.2g/t gold from 122.00 metres down-hole depth, including 1.50 metres at 52.1g/t gold from 123.00 and including 0.50 metres at 72.0 g/t gold . See Figure 1.

Tempus President and CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented "Drilling at Elizabeth continues to generate very high-grade intersections over robust widths. We will be receiving further assay results soon and we're very excited to see the results as we continue to expand the Elizabeth resource envelope."

EZ-21-04 is part of the group of the first four drill-holes of the 2021 program, which were designed to intersect the northern ore-shoot of the SW Vein at Elizabeth to test the consistency of grade and add to the confidence level for resource estimation. That first group of holes were delivered to the lab for analysis on 24 June 2021 and the results of the additional three holes in that batch (EZ-21-01, EZ-21-02 and EZ-21-03) are expected imminently. Given the very high-grade nature of EZ-21-04 and our expectations for other holes in that batch, Tempus has also asked the lab to perform additional tests using screen metallics, which is a technique used for core with coarse grained gold core. These metallic screen results are still pending and will also be release after they have been received.

Tempus has completed 3,600m of drilling since the program started 5 June 2021 which consists of 14 diamond drill holes. Drill collar information can be seen in Appendix 1, Table 1. Seven of these drill holes are in the analysis phase at SGS and additional holes in the preparation phase on site.

Figure 1 - EZ-21-04 drill results

Tempus' technical team continue to be encouraged by what they are seeing in the drill core as drilling continues to systematically explore down dip of the southern and northern ore-shoots as well as drill test along strike to the north. See Figures 2 & 3 for recent drill-hole locations.

The Elizabeth Gold Project is the flagship project for Tempus and is located in the Bralorne Gold District of southern British Columbia. The 115km 2 project is a relatively underexplored high-grade mesothermal gold mineralisation presenting itself in relatively wide (typically ~1-5m wide) vein sets. The high-grade quartz veins encountered in the drilling at Elizabeth show close geological similarities to the Bralorne mesothermal vein system (approximately 30km away), which was mined to a depth of approximately 2,000 metres and produced more than 4 million ounces of gold over a period of 50 years.

EmpireValley Gold Mines Ltd and Silver Standard Resources drove two adits and completedbasic surface work during the 1950s.
  • The Blackdome area was not worked again until 1977 when Barrier Reef Resources Ltd. re-staked the area and performed surface work in addition to underground development. The Blackdome Mining Corp. was formed in 1978 and performed extensive surface and underground work with variousjoint venture partnersthat resulted in a positive feasibility study. A 200 ton/daymill, camp facilities and tailings pond were constructed and mining operations officially commenced in 1986. The mine ceasedoperations in 1991,having produced 225,000oz of Au and 547,000oz of Ag from 338,000tons of ore (Godardet al., 2010)

Mining operations lasted six months and ended in May of 1999. During this period,6,547 oz of Au and 17,300 oz of Ag were producedfrom 21,268 tons of ore. Further exploration programs were continued by Claimstaker over the following years and a Japanese joint venture partnerwas brought onboardthat prompted a name changeto J-Pacific Gold Inc. This partnership was terminated by 2010, resulting in another name change to Sona Resources Corp.

  • Gold-bearing quartzveins were discovered near Blue Creek in 1934, and in 1940-1941 the Elizabeth No. 1-4 claims were staked.
  • Bralorne Mines Ltd. optioned the property in 1941 and during the period 1948-1949, explored the presently- named Main and West Veins by about 700 metresof cross-cutting and drifting, as well as about 110 metres of raises.
  • After acquiring the Elizabeth Gold Project in 2002, J- Pacific (now Sona) has conducted a series of exploration programs that included diamonddrilling 66 holes totalling 8962.8 metres (up until 2009) Other exploration work by Sona at the Elizabeth Gold Project has included two soil grid, stream sediment sampling, geological mappingand sampling, underground rehabilitation, structural mapping and airborne photography and topographic base map generation.

Eocene age granitic intrusions at Poison Mountain some 22 kilometres southwest of Blackdome are host to a gold bearing porphyry copper/molybdenum deposit. It is speculated that this or related intrusions could reflect the source magmas of the volcanic rocks seen at Blackdome. There is some documented evidenceof young graniticrocks several kilometres south of the mine near Lone Cabin Creek.

The youngest rocks present are Oligocene to Miocene basalts of the Chilcotin Group. These are exposed on the uppermost slopes of Blackdome Mountain and Red Mountain to the south.

  • Transecting the property in a NE-SWstrike direction are a seriesof faults that range from vertical to moderately westerly dipping. These faultsare the principal host structures for Au- Ag mineralisation. The faults anastomose, and form sygmoidal loops.

These Paleozoic to Mesozoic-age rocks are intrudedby Cretaceous and Tertiary-age stocksand dykes of mainly felsicto intermediate composition, and are locallyoverlain by Paleogene volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The Elizabeth Gold Project is partly underlain by ultramafic rocksof the Shulaps Ultramafic Complex,which include harzburgite, serpentinite and theiralteration product listwanite.

The auriferous quartz vein mineralisation is analogous to that foundin the Bralorne- Pioneer deposits. Gold mineralisation is hosted by a seriesof northeast trending, steeply northwest dippingveins that crosscut the Blue Creek porphyry intrusion.

    • dip and azimuthof the hole
    • down hole lengthand interception depth
    • hole length.
  • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basisthat the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detractfrom the understanding

of the report,the Competent Person should clearlyexplain why this isthe case.

  • Refer to Appendix 1 for drillhole collar information

Data aggregation methods

  • In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/orminimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades)and cut-off gradesare usually Material and should be stated.
  • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengthsof high grade results and longer lengthsof low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation shouldbe stated and some typicalexamples of such aggregations shouldbe shown in detail.
  • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
  • Intervals reportedusing several samplesare calculated using a weighted average.
  • Calculated intervals using a weighted average did not use a top cut on high-grade samples. High-grade samplesare reported as ‘including'
  • Calculated weightedaverage intervals are continuous intervals of a mineralized zone and do not includeunsampled intervals or unmineralized intervals.

Relationship between mineralisatio n widths andintercept lengths

  • Theserelationships are particularly important in thereporting of Exploration Results.
  • If the geometryof the mineralisation with respectto the drill hole angle is known,its nature shouldbe reported.
  • If it is not known and only the down hole lengthsare reported, thereshould be a clear statement to this effect(eg ‘down hole length, true width not

known').

  • In general,drilling is designed to intersect the mineralized zone at a normal angle,but this is not always possible.
  • For the reported intervals, true widths are reported where mineralized core was intactand possible to measure the orientation. Otherwise the true widthis leftblank

Balancedreporting

  • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widthsshould be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration

Results.

  • Where broaderlow-grade intervals are reported the high-grade intercepts are reported as ‘including' within the reported interval

Other substantive exploration data

  • Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, shouldbe reported including (but not limitedto): geological observations; geophysical survey results;geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating

substances.

  • Tempus recently completed an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Elizabeth Gold Project (refer to ASX announcement 02 August 2021) by completing 97 lines for a total of 735 line-kilometres. Flight lines are oriented east-west with north-south tie lines and spaced 200 metres across the entire 115km2 Elizabeth property. Line spacing of 100 metres was flown over the Elizabeth Main and Elizabeth East Zones.
  • The airborne magnetic survey data was reviewed and interpreted by Insight Geophysics Inc. using 3D magnetization vector inversion (MVI) modelling.
  • The geophysical surveys identified the Blue Creek Porphyry, which is the known host of the high-grade Elizabeth gold-quartz veins, as a relative magnetic low anomaly within the Shulaps Ultramafic Complex. From this correlation of geology and geophysics it was determined that the Blue Creek Porphyry, originally explored / mapped to approximately 1.1km2 in size, is likely much larger. The airborne magnetic survey and MVI 3D modelling interpret the Blue Creek Porphyry to be at least four-times the size at approximately 4.5km2.
