[{"type":"text","content":" VAL-D’OR, Québec, March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cleghorn Minerals Ltd. (“Cleghorn” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new gold-silver-zinc mineralized zone on the Company’s 100%-owned Meech Lake – Matachewan Prospect. The new mineralization was intersected in DDH ML-18-017 located between the historical Waterhole Showing (Au-Ag-Zn) and the Kell’s Showing (Ni-Cu-PGE). Please refer to the October 1, 2018 and October 24, 2018 press releases for full details of these previous released drill results. Additional anomalous gold-silver-zinc values were intersected in DDH ML-18-013 and ML-19-015 to the north of the discovery hole that were targeting the historical T25 trench and its possible northern extensions. Gold-silver-zinc mineralization is contained in several sections that range from low to high values and are typically hosted within sheared and carbonatized porphyritic trachyte and porphyritic/fragmental trachyte units and to a lesser extent by a porphyritic andesite unit. These gold-silver-zinc values occur in drillholes ML-18-013, ML-18-015, ML-18-016 and ML-18-017. Highlights for the assay results from DDH’s ML-18-012 to ML-18-017 are as follows: ML-18-013: 0.90m @ 0.06 g/t Au, 0.50 g/t Ag & 1.13% Zn ML-18-015: 2.40m @ 0.43 g/t Ag & 0.36% Zn ML-18-016: 1.60m @ 6.41 g/t Ag; ML-18-016: 2.00m @ 0.56 g/t Au;Including: 1.40m @ 0.61 g/t Au; ML-18-017: 2.15m @ 1.62 g/t Au, 7.87 g/t Ag & 2.44% ZnIncluding: 1.05m @ 2.52 g/t Au, 5.60 g/t Ag & 3.14% Zn ML-18-017: 2.60m @ 0.28 g/t Au, 0.84 g/t Ag & 1.36% Zn The new gold-silver-zinc mineralization intersected in ML-18-017 is associated with a sheared and brecciated section of porphyritic/fragmental trachyte unit. It is strongly carbonatized and moderately chloritized, with local moderate silicification, strong albitization, strong oxidation on fracture surfaces and a late white mica alteration overprint. This interval contains very high amounts of pyrite with a high percentage of intergrown sphalerite in quartz-carbonate-chlorite veins and has silver associated in moderate to high amounts. The trachyte lies between an upper porphyritic andesite unit and a lower aphanitic andesite unit. Gold-silver-zinc assay results for ML-18-017 include the following intervals: 41.85 – 46.20m: moderately sheared, porphyritic/fragm...
