VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 5, 2021 / Black Tusk Resources Inc. ("Black Tusk" or the "Company) (CSE:TUSK)(OTC PINK:BTKRF)(FRA:0NB) is pleased to announce that the company has begun diamond drilling on its Lorrain Property located near Lorrainville in western Quebec. The Lorrain claims cover an ultramafic rock unit documented to host platinum group element (PGE) mineralization, as well as copper, nickel, silver and cobalt. In particular, historic drill hole LA-01-06 intercepted a 13.2 metre interval averaging 0.89 gpt combined platinum and palladium, 3 gpt silver, 0.59% copper and 0.6 % nickel (see Black Tusk news release dated March 8, 2021).

Drill hole LA-01-06 was drilled into an elongate north-south trending peridotite-gabbro body. The mineralized intercept contains pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite ranging from 3 to 25 percent of the core, as logged in 2001. The reader is warned that historic drill results are yet to be verified by Black Tusk.

The initial drilling by Black Tusk that is now underway is designed to verify results reported from the 2001 drill hole LA-01-06 and to sample mineralization for the full suite of PGE elements (platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru)), as well as the other metals of interest (Cu, Ni, Co, Ag).

The magnetic high feature associated with the host rock offers several kilometres of potential targets for step out drilling to further test and expand upon the mineralized zone.

Furthermore to the Lorrainville drill program, Black Tusk recently completed 8 holes, totalling 2584 metres of drilling at their 100% owned McKenzie East gold project, located in Val-d'Or, Quebec. Black Tusk drill core samples have been sent to ALS laboratory in Val-d'Or and the company expects to receive all assays back in the coming weeks.

In addition to the ongoing Black Tusk drill programs in the Quebec Abitibi greenstone belt, the company is pleased to welcome Siarhei Kadach and Vladimir Morgunov to the TUSK Board of Directors. "Mr. Kadach and Mr. Morgunov bring a wealth of international business and mining experience to Black Tusk and we look forward to having them on the team'' stated Richard Penn, Black Tusk CEO.
