[{"type":"text","content":"Affinity Metals Reports Drill Results for Regal Project with New Silver Discovery of 11.10 Meter Interval of 143.29 g/t Silver Including 0.55 Meter Interval of 2612.0 g/t SilverVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2020) -  Affinity Metals Corp. (TSXV: AFF) (\"Affinity\") (\"the Corporation\") is pleased to release assay results from the late fall drill program conducted on the Regal property encompassing 8,800 hectares of the northern end of the prolific Kootenay Arc approximately 25 km northeast of Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. Along with numerous high grade intercepts in multiple holes, a significant new silver discovery was made in the ALLCO area with drill hole #10 intersecting 11.10 meters of 143.29 g/t silver including 0.55 meters of 2612.0 g/t silver. This intersection also carried high grade zinc and lead with some copper. A total of 1,846.35 meters of diamond drilling was completed with 21 holes being drilled. The drilling was divided over two separate target areas with 10 holes from two separate drill pads allocated to testing two areas within a graphitic argillite/limestone contact in the ALLCO area. Mineralized intersections encountered within the ALLCO area drill core consisted mostly of argentiferous galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite hosted within quartz veins and breccias along a northwest-southeast fault that separates the limestones from the argillites.A further 11 preliminary confirmation holes were drilled from a single drill pad designed to begin testing the underground structure associated with the historic 1971 resource (pre NI43-101 and therefore not compliant) reported for the past producing Regal/Snowflake mines. The Regal mine is located within moderately to gently, westerly dipping, graphitic phyllites/argillites of the lower Index Formation. Mineralization, hosted in quartz veins concordant with host rocks, consists of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and locally with scheelite (lower levels), stannite (upper levels), and trace chalcopyrite/tetrahedrite throughout. Sulphides occur either as disseminations in the quartz, or as massive pods or bands parallel with slatey partings.Robert Edwards, CEO of Affinity stated: \"We are extremely encouraged to see such positive assay results from the 2019 drilling, our first drill program on the property. Our expectations were that t...
