[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Kintavar”) (TSX-V: KTR), is very pleased to announce that it has begun its drilling program on the Wabash Copper project. This initial drilling program of up to 3,000 meters is expected to be completed by the end of December. The main objective of the program is to test the main mineralized zones along the 8 km long favourable corridor. This includes the Indiana area which has high grade copper and silver horizons, Cloutier-Lapointe area which includes the very high copper horizons with gold and silver (TR-GB1), the most recently discovered Cooper area and the strong IP anomaly that extends for over 1.7 km. The drilling program will provide information on the distribution of the mineralization at depth, the lateral extent of the mineralized horizons and finally how some of these areas connect. Summarized highlights from the Cloutier, Lapointe and the Indiana areas that will be drill tested in this program are presented below: Cloutier – TR-GB1 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 Lapointe – TR-07 7m @ 0.73% Cu, 20.5 g/t Ag @ 1.11% Mn Indiana 1.90% Cu, 155.0 g/t Ag & 0.55% Pb 1.87% Cu, 199.0 g/t Ag & 1.27% Pb 1.24% Cu, 143.0 g/t Ag & 0.66% Pb “We are very excited to begin this drilling program. By starting drilling in November, we should be able to receive first results early in 2022. These results will be important in both planning the next drilling program and as well the next summer exploration program.” commented Kiril Mugerman, President & CEO of Kintavar Exploration. All samples have been sent and prepared (PREP-31) by ALS Global laboratory in Val-d’Or. Gold is analysed in Val d’Or using fire assay method (AU-AA25) with gravimetric finish (Au-GRA21) for samples higher than 0.5 ppm Au. For base metals and silver, the pulp was sent to ALS Global laboratory in Vancouver for multi-elemental analysis by four acid digestion (ME-ICP61) with ICP-AES finish. Samples with assays higher than 10,000 ppm Cu, Zn or Pb, or 100 ppm Ag were reanalyzed with over limits methods (CU-OG62, ZN-OG62, PB-OG62, or AG-OG62) at the ALS Global Vancouver laboratory. Quality controls include systematic addition of blank samples and certified copper standards to ea...
