Osino Resources Corp. (

(

(
OTCQX:OSIIF) ("
Osino” or
“
the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on
the Phase 2 drill program at the Eureka Project
(“
Eureka” or “
the Project”). This
current drill program is aimed at further definitng and expanding
the Eureka godl discovery announced in the news release dated 9th
August 2023.
Dave Underwood, Osino’s VP Exploration
commented: “We have now spent considerable time and effort
on site doing fine-scale mapping and relogging core to interpret
the results at this first Eureka target. The mineralization at
Eureka is quite different to the company’s other deposits at Twin
Hills and Ondundu, with its much higher gold grades associated with
sulphide breccias and skarn alteration. The excitement is building
within the team as we come to grips with what Eureka has to offer
in terms of grade, scale and the potential for multiple
deposits.
The mineralization at Eureka is hosted within a
calcareous sedimentary package which has seen at least two and
possibly three episodes of complex folding and faulting. We are
using oriented diamond core for all holes to try and unravel the
geological puzzle and build a coherent lithological and structural
model. The first hole in the second phase of drilling appears to
have clipped the edge of the mineralization but the second hole
(ORD011) went through a wide zone and returned 61m @ 2.40g/t Au
from 66m down. The third hole intercepted a very high grade (20m @
5.60g/t) interval to the north of ORD011, confirming the robustness
of the mineralization.
The next two holes drilled to the south and
southeast of previous work also show visual indicators of good
mineralization including sulphide breccias and visible gold. We
expect to receive these results before the end of November. The
Eureka deposit is wide open to the east, west and south at this
stage and there are strong indications in the magnetic data that
there may be a second parallel shoot just 1km to the west.”
Eureka - Phase Two Drill
Program
A total of seven holes for 1400m were planned
for the Phase 2 Drill Program which commenced in late September
2023. Five holes have been completed to date for a total of 1,133m
and it is possible that the drill budget will be extended due to
the continuing positive results from step out holes.
Holes ORD010 to ORD014 were drilled on an
azimuth of 090, perpendicular to the strike of the parasitic fold
mapped on surface (refer to Figure 1 below for hole locations).
Holes ORD015 and 016 are planned on an azimuth of 135 degrees
perpendicular to the strike of lithologies to the east of the
parasitic fold.
These holes will test the continuity of
mineralization to the east of the parasitic fold within the gossan
and garnet alteration, as well as the marble contact where a recent
rock chip sample returned an assay value of 12.1 g/t Au. See Table
1 for full assay results for all drill holes to date.
Figure 1: Drill collars and intercepts to date – see
Table 1 for full assay results
Geological and Structural
Setting
The mineralization is contained within the
Okonguarri Formation of the Damara Supergroup. The Okonguarri
Formation is the same host rock to B2Gold Corp’s Otjikoto gold
project, which is located approximately 140km’s to the north-east
along strike.
The lithology consists of interbedded sands,
shales, mudstones, calcareous sands and marble, which have all been
metamorphosed to greenschist facies – see Figure 1. The rocks have
been subjected to multiple episodes of folding, resulting in
complex interference folding and faulting – see Figure 3.
The mineralization currently being drilled
appears to be in a south-westerly plunging shoot which has been
intersected over an area (projected to surface) of 350 x 150m to
date, with an apparent thickness of approximately 20 – 60m and open
to the west, south and east.
This shoot is focussed along a fault (or a
series of faults) on the axial plane of the overturned F1 recumbent
fold – see Figures 2 and 3. The F1 fold has been re-folded along a
later F2 fold generation, adding to the deposit complexity while
further maturing the fracture system.

Eureka Mineralization – Section line shown on Figure 1
Figure 3: Interference Folding
Interpretation at Eureka
Mineralization
The gold mineralization appears to have occurred
in two phases, initially a low-grade pulse associated with bedding
parallel, quartz-carbonate veins and subsequently a higher-grade
pulse in massive sulphide breccias along axial planar faults – see
Figure 2.
The sulphides consist of pyrrhotite and pyrite
with minor chalcopyrite. The highest grade intervals are dominated
by massive pyrrhotite and intense brecciation. See Photos 1 – 4.
Garnet alteration in finely interbedded sands and shales is often
associated with high-grade zones, and this is used as an indicator
for gold exploration in the area.

within a crack in mud Planned Near-term Work
Program
The planned work program for the next few months
for the Eureka discovery and surrounding area includes the
following:
- Complete Phase 2 drilling and
assaying, then update the geological and structural model
- Complete a detailed heli-borne
magnetic survey (50m line spacing) across the licence, planned for
late November 2023. This will better define the five magnetic
targets outlined from the regional magnetics to date and hopefully
identify further targets. See Figure 4 for location of current
magnetic targets.
- Alteration mapping using satellite
and airphoto data
- Step out and infill surface
geochemistry sampling programs, including recently generated
targets in the far north of the license, located within the highly
prospective Kuiseb Formation Sediments (host rocks to the Twin
Hills, Kokoseb and Ondundu Gold Project).
- Further delineation and step-out
drilling – Q1 2024
- Follow-up mapping and rock chip sampling from licence-wide soil
program
- Scout drilling of magnetic targets (pyrrhotite dominated
mineralization has strong magnetic signature)

Notes on Drill Assay Reporting:
- Total intercepts reported are
unconstrained - all combined intercepts above 0.4g/t reported. GM
values based on unconstrained intercepts. All reported intercepts
are apparent widths rounded to the nearest meter. Included (incl.)
intercepts are constrained at 0.4g/t cut-off, minimum 2m wide and
no more that 2m internal dilution. True widths are unknown at this
stage. Collar positions are in UTM WGS84 surveyed by digital
GPS.
- The GM number indicated by colour
coding in Figure 1 and 2 is a commonly used short-hand method of
representing gold grade (g/t) and unconstrained intercept width (m)
as a single metric by multiplying the average intercept grade with
the intercept width.

About Osino Resources
Osino is a Canadian gold exploration and
development company focused on the fast-tracked development of our
wholly owned, Twin Hills Gold Project in central Namibia. Since its
grassroots discovery by Osino in August 2019 the Company has
completed more than 240,000m of drilling and has completed a suite
of specialist technical studies culminating in the recently
published Twin Hills Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") dated
effective June 12, 2023. The DFS describes a technically simple and
economically robust open-pit gold operation with a 13-year mine
life and average annual gold production of over 169,000oz per
annum.
Osino has a commanding ground position of over
8,000km2 located within Namibia's prospective Damara sedimentary
mineral belt, and mostly in proximity to and along strike of the
producing Navachab and Otjikoto Gold Mines. The Company is actively
exploring a range of gold prospects and targets along the belt by
utilizing a portfolio approach geared towards discovery, targeting
gold mineralization that fits the broad orogenic gold model.
Our core projects are favourably located north
and north-west of Namibia's capital city Windhoek. By virtue of
their location, the projects benefit significantly from Namibia's
well-established infrastructure with paved highways, railway, power
and water in close proximity. Namibia is mining-friendly and lauded
as one of the continent's most politically and socially stable
jurisdictions. Osino continues to evaluate new ground with a view
to expanding our Namibian portfolio.
