[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL , March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Kintavar”) (TSX-V: KTR), is very pleased to announce the results for 18 of 21 drill holes from its Wabash drilling program that was completed in December 2021. The drilling program targeted 10 distinct zones that were trenched in 2020 & 2021 and 15 out of the 18 holes that were received to date have intersected the targeted mineralization and other mineralization further down the hole. Highlights of the results can be seen in Figure 1 and Table 1. Marco (Lapointe) – Lara – Indiana - MLI Corridor The Southern polymetallic corridor that extends from Indiana to Lara returned the most significant results from this drilling program. The high-grade horizon intersected in hole WAB-21-21 returned 1.01% Cu and 19.3 g/t Ag over 16.8m including 1.26% Cu and 22.9 g/t Ag over 7.6m starting from 64.4m. Another horizon of 6.55m with 0.21% Cu and 11.0 g/t Ag including 0.36% Cu, 25.8 g/t Ag, 0.41% Pb and 0.39% Zn over 2.5m was intersected from 26.5m, corresponding to the Lara trench on surface and highlighting the polymetallic nature of this corridor. Based on the core angle of the stratigraphic units, the intersection represents approximately 70% of true width. The mineral galena has now been observed at both trenches and drill holes along this corridor, making it a “marker mineral”. The MLI corridor extends for over 1km and remains open to the NE and SW. The entire corridor is made up of various mineralized horizons as can be observed from drill holes WAB-21-09, 10, 11, 20 and 21. The horizons vary in thickness from 1m to over 16m and even include gold in some, such as in hole WAB-21-10 with 0.47 g/t Au over 1.5m surrounded by other copper and silver horizons. See Table 1 and Figure 1 below for more details. GB1 Corridor The GB1 corridor that has been associated with an important IP anomaly and returned the highest grades on the property to date (see press release from September 28, 2021), is another important target that was tested with this drilling program. The GB1 zone showed characteristics that differ from the stratiform sediment hosted mineralization typically observed on the property. The target mineralization was intersected in all 3 holes and appears to be expanding at depth and remains open to the north, south and at depth. Assays wer...
