(the\n“Company”)\n \n \n (TSXV:BAG)\n \n \n announced today an update on its Phase 1 drilling and\nexploration activities at the Company’s wholly owned Blende\nSilver-Zinc-Lead project located 63 km north of Keno Hill,\nYukon.\n \n \n \n \n Exploration is focused on what is currently a 5 km\nmineralized trend striking NW to SE at the Blende project with\nInferred and Indicated resources in the East and West pits,\napproximately 2 km apart which contain Inferred 37.32 Million oz\nsilver, 1.706 Billion lbs. zinc and 1.505 Billion lbs. lead, which\nmakes the project one of the largest carbonate hosted silver-zinc-lead\nprojects in western Canada (see News release May 20, 2021).\n \n \n \n \n The 2021 program has been successfully drilling infill\nand extension holes in the West Zone, and is currently drilling the\nnear surface southeastern extension of a copper silver zone in the\nWest Zone.\n \n \n Company director Andrew H. Rees\nstated “The Company is extremely encouraged with the initial\nfindings of its 2021 exploration program, focusing on increasing the\ncurrent indicated and inferred resources, as well as expanding on the\ncopper potential at the Blende deposit, with the intent to incorporate\nit into the next resource estimate that is completed.”\n \n \n \n \n The Company awaits the results of the previously\nannounced 3D IP survey (see News Release dated August 9, 2021), which\nwill aid in targeting the continuation of mineralization between the\n \n \n East and West pits\n \n \n , and\nthe strike extent of the Far West Zone to the northwest. The Far West\nZone has been traced a further 250m on surface and remains open to the\nnorthwest.\n \n \n A narrow iron oxide possible exhalite\nhorizon was discovered approximately 1.4 km along trend of the Far\nWest Zone, which may represent a distal or high-level expression of\nthe zone.\n \n \n Additionally, a significant\nlead-zinc-copper-silver reconnaissance soil anomaly from 2006, about 2\nkm west of the\n \n \n Far West Zone,\n \n \n will be tested by detailed soil sampling.\n \n \n \n \n Further ground surface mapping has u...
