InZinc Intersects 19.1 m grading 3.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag from 30 m downhole, including 8.5% Zn, 2.1% Pb and 21.3 g/t Ag over 2.0 m – Further Expanding Shallow Mineralization at Indy Sedex Project, Central BC

 

 

 

 

 

InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: IZN) is pleased to report an additional four drill holes from 2025 exploration diamond drilling at its 100% owned Indy Sedex (zinc-lead-silver-barite) project, located 90 km southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia, Canada. Results from these shallow drill holes (four previously reported, total of 11 drilled), exploring the western expansion and southern extension of near surface mineralization at the B-9 Zone, are summarized below. An additional three drill holes are pending results.

 

2025 Results – Highlights of B-9 Western Expansion Drilling (Table 1)

 

Drill Hole IB25-032 (Figure 1)

  • Widest shallow intersection to date averaging 3.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag over 19.1 m from 29.9 m downhole
  • Includes high grade zone averaging 8.5% Zn, 2.1% Pb and 21.3 g/t Ag over 2.0 m from 31.0 m downhole
  • Intersection is located 30 m up-dip (west) of 2018 massive sulphide discovery (IB18-009, previously released) averaging 8.0% Zn, 2.0% Pb, and 16.2 g/t Ag over 9.9 m from 78.1 m downhole
  • Results from a hole testing the down-dip projection are pending

 

B-9 Zone – Near Surface Trend Extension to 700 m (Figure 2)

  • Four shallow drill holes IB25-030, IB25-031, IB25-032 and IB25-033 encountered mineralization at the principal horizon, expanding the western mineralization and increasing the B-9 trend to greater than 700 m in length
  • Remains open for further exploration at depth and along trend

Vertical depth is measured from the top of the drill intersection – vertically to surface. True widths are estimated from 100% to 75% and may vary with further revisions from additional drilling. NCV: Mineralization is present at levels lower or below current length-weighted grade composite cut-off criteria. *Note: Low-core recoveries from 42.0 m to 48.2 m.

Massive and Semi-Massive Sulphides in Two Areas

 

Drilling to date has discovered two shallow massive sulphide (high-grade) areas, 250 m apart, within a broader zone of the same stratigraphy but lesser grade mineralization. Both the southern and northern areas of massive sulphides remain open for expansion.

 

In the southern area, drill hole IB25-032 successfully targeted the near surface, western projection of massive sulphides discovered in 2018 drilling (hole IB18-009) and returned the thickest intercept of mineralization to-date, averaging 3.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag over 19.1 m from 29.9 m downhole. This includes a high-grade interval averaging 8.5% Zn, 2.1% Pb and 21.3 g/t Ag over 2.0 m (from 31.0 m downhole). This wide intersection is located 30 m up-dip (west) of the 2018 discovery hole (hole IB18-009, previously released) averaging 8.0% Zn, 2.0% Pb, and 16.2 g/t Ag over 9.9 m from 78.1 m downhole. Drill hole IB25-038, testing the down-dip (depth) projection of the intersection in IB18-009, is pending results.

In the northern area, the Company also recently reported (see NR2025-04) a new shallow massive sulphide intersection. Drill hole IB25-029 (11.0% Zn, 2.3% Pb and 27.1 g/t Ag over 3.0 m from 61.0 m downhole, previously released) successfully extended a shallow massive sulphide zone discovered 80 m south in 2018 (Hole IB18-003: 9.3% Zn, 2.4% Pb, 18.0 g/t Ag over 3.1 m from 25.0 m downhole, previously released). Untested soil geochemical and EM geophysical anomalies continue along strike for at least 750 m north of drilling to date, indicating the potential to further expand the mineralization to the north.

 

B-9 Mineralized Zone Extended Up-dip (West) and Along Strike (North and South) – Now Traced for 700 m and Remains Open

 

Four shallow drill holes IB25-030, IB25-031, IB25-032 and IB25-033 encountered mineralization at the principal horizon, successfully expanding the up-dip (western) projection of the B-9 Zone. Including recently announced extensions to the north (see NR2025-04), the B-9 mineralized trend has been extended to over 700 m in length and remains open for further exploration along trend and at depth

 

Sedex District in Central BC

 

The extensive tenure at Indy covers 200 square km and a 30 km length of under-explored strata in central British Columbia. The Indy project is well located with respect to road, rail, power, port and smelter infrastructure.

 

The near surface mineralization (zinc-lead-silver and barite) discovered across the 7.5 km Main Trend at Indy (Figure 3) is typical of worldwide Sedex deposits and districts. These deposits often include significant silver and critical minerals as by-products.

*Note: Low core recoveries. The intersections in IB18-002 are separated by lost core/no recovery.

 

About InZinc

 

InZinc is an active explorer at its Indy Sedex project (100%) in central British Columbia, Canada. The Company is exploring near surface zinc-lead-silver and barite mineralization discovered at Indy in a new, under-explored mineral region analogous to the prolific Selwyn Basin of northeastern BC and the Yukon. South32 Limited (ASX, LSE, JSE) became a major tenure holder in the Indy belt by staking approximately 200 km2 of adjacent claims in late 2021. Through its equity investment in American West Metals (ASX) and a 50% royalty interest (NSR) from any future production of indium mined at American West’s West Desert project, InZinc is also exposed to a portfolio of North American base metals and precious metals projects.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

 

HQ size drill core was collected from the drill site and delivered to the Indy Camp by InZinc staff. The core was logged, sample intervals were outlined and photographic records were collected. Core samples were split using a diamond saw or manually chipped at the camp with one-half of the core submitted for assay and the remainder stored in wooden core boxes. The core was bagged in individually marked plastic sample bags and shipments were compiled in labelled rice bags. Core shipments were delivered by InZinc contract geologists to Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd. in Prince George, B.C. for furtherance to MSA Labs in Langley, B.C., Canada for analysis. Samples were prepared by MSA and analyzed by ICP-AES multi-element plus 4-Acid Digestion and select AAS-Fire Assay. In addition to the labs QA/QC procedures, InZinc inserted blind standards, blanks or lab-directed duplicates by special instruction – every tenth sample. The results from the QA/QC samples were within industry norms.
