Vancouver, BC September 12, 2019 – KORE Mining Ltd. – TSXV: KORE (“KORE” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has staked a large exploration land position around the Imperial project (“Imperial” or “Project”). The newly staked claims (“new claims”) extend from the operating Mesquite mine (currently owned by Equinox Gold Corp, TSXV: EQX) to the depleted Picacho mine over a 28 km trend with Imperial roughly equidistant between the two. The staked area is largely under-cover with minimal outcrop and has not been subject to modern exploration techniques.
Scott Trebilcock, President and CEO stated “KORE believes in the untapped exploration for new shallow oxide discoveries on the trend now controlled by KORE. We have several targets from past operators near Imperial but a vast majority is under-explored and has seen no modern exploration techniques.” Mr. Trebilcock continued, “Having the intact Imperial deposit to tune our geophysical and chemical sensing will greatly enhance our ability to generate drill targets and make new discoveries.”
The new claims are not subject to any royalties. The 1,005 new claims total 20,602 acres bringing KOREs total in the region to 26,323 acres, a 360% increase.
A map of the new claims is appended to this new release.

The trend, identified by a geophysical anomaly (gravity high), hosts greater than 7 million ounces of past production (Mesquite and Picacho) as well as current and historic reserves and resources of over 5 million ounces, for a total of over 12 million ounces of gold.
All new claims have been filed with Imperial County and the Bureau of Land Management.
