(\"Blind Creek\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the field component of the recently announced Blende Property exploration program (see Blind Creek News Release dated August 17, 2017), has been completed.  A geological team from Moose Mountain Technical Services successfully collected a total of 51 samples for Specific Gravity (SG) determinations and 175 kilograms of metallurgical samples from select and representative diamond drill core stored on the property. Moose Mountain will conduct SG determinations for mineral resource estimation purposes and the metallurgical samples have been submitted to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (BV Minerals – Metallurgical Division) in Richmond, B.C. for assay analysis, metallurgical processing and studies.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nBlende Metallurgical Program and Processing Upsides\n\nThe historical Blende metallurgical process work by Billiton (1991) was focussed on the sulphide portion of the historic resource for lead and zinc recovery. There is also a considerable oxide portion at Blende that can possibly be brought into the resource categories with further exploration and metallurgical investigation. There has been a considerable amount of recent relevant technical advances in mineral processing of oxide lead and zinc minerals, as well as for concentrate treatment by various leaching or pyrometallurgical (smelting) procedures. If justified, the oxide portion of the resource may allow for lower cost mining techniques (i.e. open pit).\n\nBlind Creek has commissioned Mr. Frank Wright, P.Eng., of F. Wright Consulting Inc. to conduct a preliminary scoping evaluation on the recently collected metallurgical samples, focussing on basic pre-concentration and flotation studies for all mineralization types modeled at Blende. The four month, staged metallurgical progra...
