Murchison Minerals Discovers New Zinc Mineralization 300 Metres South Of Brabant-Mckenzie VMS Deposit

 

 

 

 

 

Murchison Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:MUR) is pleased to announce the discovery of massive sulphide-type zinc mineralization (Table 1 and Figure 1) on strike of the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit. Using Instrumentation GDD Inc.’s Beep Mat technology, a weak sub-surface response was detected, unearthed and sampled with a backpack drill. This discovery has been named Brabant-McKenzie South and is located immediately south of the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit, lying approximately 300 metres from the nearest blocks in the Inferred Resource category.

The backpack drill hole location and related geophysical data is presented in Figure 2. The image includes the Maxwell plate derived from an earlier ground Time Domain Electromagnetic survey (TDEM), the showing located at the site of the backpack drill hole and a proposed diamond drill hole. The coincident magnetic trend can be traced northward to the Brabant-McKenzie deposit (Figures 2 & 3). The large Maxwell plate derived from the ground geophysical survey has a low conductivity-thickness (CT) of 9.3 Siemens, which can be consistent with the characteristically non-conductive sphalerite mineralization.

 

Mr. Jean‐Charles Potvin, President and CEO stated, “We are very excited about this discovery, as it has the potential to add significant tonnage, especially if both Upper and Lower mineralized zones making up the Brabant-McKenzie deposit continue southward.”

About the Brabant‐McKenzie Project

 

The Brabant‐McKenzie project is located 175 kilometres northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and approximately three kilometres from the community of Brabant Lake. The area is accessed year‐round via provincial Highway 102 and is serviced by grid power. The project consists of one mining lease, which hosts the Brabant‐McKenzie VMS deposit, and additional mineral claims totalling 324 square kilometres, which cover approximately 38 kilometres of strike length over favourable geological horizons, multiple known mineralized showings and identified geophysical conductors.

 

Brabant‐McKenzie VMS Deposit

 

Indicated: 2.1 mt @ 7.08% zinc, 0.69% copper, 0.49% lead, 39.60g/t silver

Inferred: 7.6 mt @ 4.45% zinc, 0.57% copper, 0.19% lead, 18.40g/t silver
