[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Sept. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Kintavar”) (TSX-V: KTR), is very pleased to announce new exploration results from the Cloutier area located on its Wabash property. The results include the first direct grab samples from the strongest geophysical “IP” anomaly. Follow-up over this anomaly had been a priority for this summer exploration program. TR-GB1 results The IP survey that was conducted last winter had identified a very strong chargeability and resistivity anomaly (PP-16) that extended for over 1.7 km (see new release February 16, 2021). Initial attempts for trenching in the strongest portion of the anomaly encountered significant amounts of overburden or access constraints. Trench TR-GB1 was then completed in the northern most extension of the IP anomaly, where it was shown to be weaker, and successfully intercepted a sequence of interbedded gneissic units. The main mineralized horizon was exposed over approximately 10m long with apparent widths varying up to 1.5 meters. The three samples yielded very consistent results as follows: 6.59% Cu, 58.7 g/t Ag & 0.66 g/t Au 6.29% Cu, 50.4 g/t Ag & 0.13 g/t Au 5.43% Cu, 42.5 g/t Ag & 0.35 g/t Au Mineralization was present in the form of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite and lesser amounts of bornite and pyrite. The trench is located 700m north of the strongest portion of the IP anomaly, making the entire anomaly a high priority target for the upcoming drilling program. TR-4N, 5N and 15 results The IP anomaly (PP-15) that is located 150m East of PP-16 was the target of trench TR-05 and TR-06 in 2020 (see new release March 18, 2021). A follow up on soil and IP anomalies allowed the realization of TR-05N trench and confirmed mineralization in a paragneiss unit for over 7m in width. Mineralization in chalcopyrite and bornite is pervasively disseminated throughout this unit with up to 0.75% Cu and 9.95 g/t Ag assayed. Only 600m North of TR-5N, two new trenches (TR-4N and 15) were completed while investigating the Northern most part of the Cloutier area. The mineralization has now been extended by 125m and remains open to the North along with its IP anomaly. The interbedded paragneiss and marble units are part of the favorable stratigraphy that can be traced from Cloutier all the way to the Lapointe area and to the Indian...
