Rhea-AI Summary

Tempus Resources Ltd (TMRFF) has reported further visible gold discoveries in drill hole EZ-22-03 at the Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern British Columbia. The drill revealed two zones of quartz veining with visible gold at depths of approximately 96.9 to 97.3 meters and 124.0 to 124.1 meters. Additional grains of gold were noted on the cut core. The core samples are set to be sent to SGS Laboratories for assay results, expected in 1-2 months. Tempus plans to drill 15 additional holes this year to further explore the Blue Vein mineralization, which has previously shown promising results.

Positive
  • Discovery of visible gold in drill hole EZ-22-03 at depths of 96.9-97.3m and 124.0-124.1m.
  • Previous high-grade intersections include 1.0m at 33.7g/t Au.
  • Plans for 15 additional drill holes targeting Blue Vein expansion.
Negative
  • Visual observations indicate that visible gold is less than 0.01%, which is low.
  • No massive sulphide mineralization encountered in the drill hole.

PERTH, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / June 20, 2022 / Tempus Resources Ltd ("Tempus" or "the Company") (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR)(OTC PINK:TMRFF) is pleased to provide a further update on the visible gold observed in Drill Hole EZ-22-03 at the Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern British Columbia, Canada.

As reported on 14 June 2022, drill hole EZ-22-03, intersected two zones of quartz veining that show the presence of visible gold ("VG") at a down-hole depth of approximately 96.9 to 97.3 metres and with a second observation of visible gold around 124.0 to 124.1 metres. See Image 1.

Following the cutting of the core in preparation for assay, several more grains of visible gold have been observed on the inside of the cut core at the down-hole depth of approximately 96.9 to 97.3 metres. See Image 2.

With reference to the AIG 2015 guidance for visual reporting of massive sulphide mineralisation, the Company reports it has not encountered any massive sulphide mineralisation in drill hole EZ-22-03. While it is not possible to accurately estimate the percentage of visual gold present though out the drill core, the Company suggests that the percentage would be less than the 0.01%. The Company cautions that visual observations of visible gold are not a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assays and analysis will be required to confirm the visual interpretations presented in this news release.

The core from the first three drill holes is being prepared for transport to SGS Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada for assay. Assay results will be released when received and are will be received in approximately 1 to 2 months from the time the core is received by the lab.

The Blue Vein was discovered in 2021 (EZ21-12 including 1.0m at 33.7g/t Au) with a total of 7 holes intersecting the vein to date (including three holes with ‘bonanza' grade intersections, i.e., greater than 1oz per tonne), high-grade gold mineralisation was identified over a strike length of over 80 metres in 2021. Approximately fifteen (15) holes have been planned this year to target the expansion of the Blue Vein high-grade gold mineralisation along strike and down dip. The drilling will test the Blue Vein gold mineralisation over a total strike length of approximately 400 metres.

Exploration done by other parties

  • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.
  • Inthe 1940s, placergold was discovered in Fairless Creek west of Blackdome Summit.Prospecting by Lawrence Frenier shortly afterward led to the discovery of gold-bearing quartzveins on the southwest slopeof the mountain that resulted in the stakingof mining claimsin 1947. EmpireValley Gold Mines Ltd and Silver Standard Resources drove two adits and completed basic surface work during the 1950s.
  • TheBlackdome area was not workedagain 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 (Godard et al., 2010)
  • After a period of inactivity, Claimstaker Resources Ltd. tookover the project, reopening the mine in late 1998.

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Mining operations lastedsix 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 quartz veins 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.

Geology

  • Deposit type, geological setting and styleof mineralisation.
  • TheBlackdome property is situated in a regionunderlain by rocks of Triassicto Tertiary age. Sedimentary and igneous rocks of the Triassic Pavilion Group occurring along the FraserRiver represent the oldest rocks in the region. A large, Triassic age, ultramafic complex(Shulaps Complex) was emplaced along the Yalakomfault; a regional scale structure locatedsome 30 kilometres south of the property. Sediments and volcanics of the Cretaceous Jackass Mountain Groupand Spences Bridge/Kingsvale Formations overlie the Triassic assemblages. Some of these rocks occur several kilometres south of Blackdome.
  • Overlying the Cretaceous rocks are volcanics and minor sediments of Eocene age.These rocks underlie much of

Blackdome and are correlated with the KamloopsGroup seen in the Ashcroft and Nicola regions.

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Geochemical studies (Vivian,1988) have shownthese rocks to be derivedfrom a "calc-alkaline" magma in a volcanicarc type tectonicsetting. 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.
  • Thearea in which the Elizabeth Gold Project is situated is underlain by Late Paleozoic to Mesozoic rock assemblages that are juxtaposed across a complexsystem of faultsmainly of Cretaceous and Tertiary age. 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.
  • Thegold mineralisation foundon the Elizabeth Gold Project presentcharacteristics typical of epigenetic mesothermal gold deposits. 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. The Main and West vein systems displaymesothermal textures, including ribboned-laminated veins and comprehensive wall rock breccias. Vein formation and gold mineralisation were associated with extensional-

brittle faulting believed to be contemporaneous with mid- Eocene extensional faulting along the Marshall Creek,Mission Ridge and Quartz Mountain faults.

Drill hole Information

  • A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
    • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
    • elevation or RL (Reduced Level- elevation abovesea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
    • dip and azimuth of 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

ofthe 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 reported using severalsamples are calculated using a weighted average.
  • Calculated intervals using a weighted averagedid not use a top cut on high-grade samples.High-grade samples are reported as ‘including'
  • Calculated weighted average intervals are continuous intervals of a mineralized zone and do not includeunsampled intervals or unmineralized intervals.

Relationship between mineralisation widthsand intercept lengths

  • These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
  • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to 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').

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

Diagrams

  • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts shouldbe included for any significant discovery being reportedThese should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill

hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

  • Refer to maps withinannouncement for drillhole locations.

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Balanced

reporting

  • 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 broader low-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.
  • This interpretation of the Blue Creek Porphyry is also extensive at depth extending to at least 2km deep

Further work

  • The nature and scale of planned furtherwork (eg testsfor lateral extensions or depth extensions or large- scale step-out drilling).
  • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drillingareas, provided this

information is not commercially sensitive.

  • Tempus plans to updatehistorical NI43-101 foreignresource estimates to current NI43-101 and JORC 2012 standards
  • Tempus is also seekingto expand the scale of the mineralisation at the projectthrough further exploration.
