Paradigm Drillers Arrive At Brussels Creek For Drill Program With Data Analysis Ongoing At Pocitos 1 Lithium And Georgia Lake Lithium Projects
Vancouver, Jan. 27, 2023 - Recharge Resources Ltd. ("Recharge") (RR: CSE) (RECHF: OTC) (SL50: Frankfurt) announced that Paradigm drillers arrived on site today for the Company's fully-funded winter drill program at Recharge's 100% owned Brussels Creek Gold-Copper-Palladium Project in Kamloops, BC, Canada.
Paradigm Drilling delivered the skid mount, Boyles 25 model drill rig to the staging area near the Brussels Creek Property with drilling about to commence to complete 900 meters of NQ size core drilling in 3 holes. Of these 900 meters, hole collar angles will be between -50 and -90 degrees, and borehole depths will not exceed 350 meters.
The aim of the 900-meter NQ drill program is to test the potential for copper-gold mineralization similar to that present at the adjacent New Afton Mine owned by New Gold Inc. NGD.V ($1.11 billion market capitalization). The New Afton Mine occupies the site of the historic Afton Open Pit Mine, which operated from 1977 to 1997. The present mine and concentrator facility commenced production in July 2012. The mine is a block caving operation. In 2021, the mine produced 52,542 oz Au and 61,700,000 lbs Cu.
The Company is currently awaiting weather conditions to improve for access purposes in order to commence drilling.

CEO, David Greenway, summarized, "While data compilation is underway at Georgia Lake Lithium and the Company awaits additional data from Pocitos 1, we are pushing forward on all fronts with drills now on site at the Brussels Creek Copper-Palladium-Gold Project. We thank Mr. Shearer and all those involved in the consultation and drill planning process. Recharge is committed to sustainable exploration and mining practices. This is a pivotal time for the Brussels Creek Project in BC, and we look forward to the upcoming drill program."
Brussels Creek Project
The BC property is an early-stage exploration property, located approximately 24 kilometres west of Kamloops, and is immediately adjacent to New Gold's New Afton Mine. The property has 17 claims (66 cells) covering 1,350.43 hectares. The geological setting of the property is very similar to New Afton, a silica-saturated copper-gold alkalic porphyry-style deposit, as well as the Highland Valley, Mount Polly, Kemess and Galore Creek deposits. Recent field observations noted the presence of a substantial mineralized quartz-feldspar porphyry body intruding the overlying Nicola group volcanics. Historic sampling and mapping on the property, in 1983 and 1984, located a broad anomalous zone (200 metres by 400 metres) with gold values up to 3.5 grams per tonne. Grab samples taken from the property in 2019 include values of 10.1 g/t Au (with 0.7 g/t palladium) and 11.5 g/t Au.
