Tarku Resources Ltd. announce the successful completion of the maiden drill program on it's Apollo Gold Project, part of the 3As Projects, located east of the town of Matagami, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. Eight holes, for a total of 3,048m were completed on a 4km wide priority area of the east extension of the Sunday Lake Fault. Tarku controls 100% of more than 20km length of the regional faults, where no exploration has ever been reported for gold.

Assays are pending for all holes but are expected to be received during First Quarter 2023. The Sixth Hole (AP-22-006, 325m depth) tested the eastern side of Zone 8 Target (AZ8), corresponding to a high-chargeability anomaly with a strong magnetic susceptibility. Hole 6 intersected strongly altered rocks with pervasive silicification altering with moderate to intense meter wide sections of hematization associated with disseminated to massive magnetite and up to 5% disseminated pyrite.

The hole section is regularly crosscut by quartz-carbonate-anhydrite and pyrite veinlets and stockwork with epidote and fuschite associated with pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. The Seventh Hole (AP-22-008, 407mdepth) tested the north area of the Zone 6 Target (AZ6) within the regional Sunday Lake Fault corresponding to structurally controlled geophysical responses. The hole intersected a different volcano-sedimentary environment within the regional Sunday Lake Fault with visible strong to intense deformation throughout the hole.

The first 170 meters intersected well carbonated sequences of black shale and wacke with metre long sections of up to 10% pyrite and pyrrhotite. After the first 170 metres, lapillis tuffs have strong pervasive silicification and are intruded by quartz-carbonate veinlets that locally become stockwork with cm patches of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. A decametric wide section showed visible copper with quartz-carbonate veinlets and several syenitic dykes are visible.

The Eight Hole (AP-22-007, 577mdepth) targeted the Zone 5 Target (AZ5) and the bottom of the main magnetic anomaly. The hole has similarities with hole AP-22-002 with same syenitic dykes and ash to lapillis tuffs with over 100m of pervasive carbonatization, silicification, and hematization associated with disseminated to massive magnetite. The hole intersected a 49 meters long section of up to 5% pyrite, and pyrrhotite, finely disseminated throughout the section with locally sphalerite and potentially molybdenum also described.
