Eloro Resources Ltd. has reported additional assay results from five definition drillholes at its Iska Iska project in Bolivia, significantly expanding the footprint of the Santa Barbara starter pit to approximately 800 meters by 500 meters by 500 meters deep. The results, which include long higher-grade intercepts from both the Polymetallic and Tin Domains, notably feature 213.00 meters grading 0.51% tin and 25.46 grams per tonne silver.
The ongoing definition drill program has now completed 6,242 meters across 12 holes, with assays still pending for two holes. Management emphasized that the mineralized system remains open both laterally and downdip, highlighting substantial potential for further expansion and resource upgrades. These developments are critical as the company progresses toward its planned preliminary economic assessment (PEA), which will evaluate the economic viability of the project.
The Iska Iska property, which Eloro has an option to acquire a 100% interest in, is classified as a polymetallic epithermal-porphyry complex, a significant mineral deposit type in the Potosi Department of southern Bolivia. A recent NI 43-101 technical report on Iska Iska, completed by Micon International Limited, is available on Eloro's website at https://www.EloroResources.com and under its filings on SEDAR. The property is road-accessible and royalty-free, enhancing its development potential.
These results are important for the mining industry and investors as they demonstrate continued resource growth at a time of increasing global demand for tin and silver, both critical metals in various industrial and technological applications. The expansion of the Santa Barbara starter pit footprint suggests potential for increased mineral reserves, which could positively impact future production estimates and project economics.

The findings from Iska Iska contribute to the broader context of mineral exploration in South America, where polymetallic deposits play a crucial role in supplying essential metals to global markets. The project's progress underscores the importance of continued investment in exploration to meet future resource needs, particularly for metals used in electronics, renewable energy technologies, and industrial applications.
