[{"type":"text","content":"Blue Moon Drilling Intersects Significant Zinc MineralizationVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2020 / Blue Moon Zinc Corp. (TSXV:MOON)(OTC PINK:BMOOF) (\"Blue Moon\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that its exploration partner, Platina Resources Limited (\"Platina\"), has intersected high grade mineralization in their first drill hole from the recently completed drilling program at the Blue Moon zinc-copper-gold project. The current drilling program was successful in expanding the high-grade mineralization cut in hole BMZ78 in 2018.Hole BMZ79 intersected a significant zones of high-grade zinc mineralisation, in the form of sphalerite, including (Not true width. True width approximately 55%.):7.47 metres (24.5 feet) at 25.55% zinc, 0.87% copper, 0.68 g/t gold and 17 g/t silver for a zinc equivalence (\"ZnEq\") of 28.46% from 412.81 metres, including:3.05 metres (10.0 feet) at 49.60% zinc, 1.39% copper, 0.91 g/t gold and 30 g/t silver for a ZnEq of 54.11% from 414.65 metres.A second zone of zinc mineralisation in the same hole from 450 metres, included:10.96 metres (36.0 feet) at 3.11% zinc, 0.47% copper and 0.27 % lead for a ZnEq of 4.62% from 450.37 metres, including:2.08 metres (6.8 feet) at 4.2% zinc for a ZnEq of 5.24% from 457.16 metres.The high-grade zone of BMZ79 includes the highest zinc interval ever intercepted in the project to date, 1.71 metres (5.6 feet) at 51.9% zinc, 1.49% copper, 0.05% lead, 0.85 g/t gold and 31.9 g/t silver from 414.65 metres.The high grade mineralised intercept in Hole BMZ79 is 50 metres (164 feet) above and eight metres (26 feet) south of the high grade mineralisation intercepted by the 2018 Blue Moon Zinc diamond hole BMZ78. The intercept extends the size of the high grade zone of mineralisation within the Main mineralised horizon. The Main mineralised horizon also intersected some interesting anomalies of gold and silver (see Table 2).The stage 1 drilling program totalled 1,132 metres (3,714 feet) and tested the northern border of the mineral resource as well as extend the zone of high-grade mineralisation near hole BMZ78 which was drilled by Blue Moon in 2018 (see January 18, 2019 release). Hole BMZ80, the second hole in the program, has assay results pending.Platina is currently paying 100% of the drill program costs and can earn an initial 50% interest in the Blue Moon pr...
