InZinc Plans Exploration Programs at Indy Project, BC
Vancouver, June 14, 2021 - InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSXV: IZN) (the "Company") is pleased to announce field crews will start Phase 1 exploration activities at the Indy project in central British Columbia in early July. The fully-funded Phase 1 program, consisting of extensive soil geochemistry, mapping, prospecting and access work, will prepare new and existing targets for drilling planned for the fall of 2021.
A maiden drill program at Indy discovered shallow Sedex-style mineralization at the B-9 Zone in 2018, including 12.33% Zn, 2.98% Pb, and 24.46g/t Ag (14.98% ZnEq) over 6.3m at 60m below surface in hole IB18-009. The B-9 Zone remains open for expansion. In 2019, InZinc outlined a large, new Sedex-type target on the property called the Delta Horizon, located 5km northwest of the B-9 Zone.
Phase 1 will evaluate the Delta East area, where wide-spaced historical sampling returned extensive anomalous Zn+Pb in soil and provide additional soil geochemistry coverage at Anomalies B and C where trends remain open for expansion.
