(TSXV: DMX) (FSE: DFPP); (\"District\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on its Phase II drill program currently underway at its high grade polymetallic Tomtebo Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District in south-central Sweden.District commenced the 5,000 m Phase II program with two drill rigs in operation at the Tomtebo Property on October 7, 2021 (see news release here). To date, a total of 1,030 m has been drilled in three holes (TOM21-023A/B, -024, -025). Drill core samples from these first three holes have been sent on a rush basis to ALS Geochemistry in Malå, Sweden for assay preparation and then to ALS Geochemistry in Loughrea, Ireland for analysis. Results are expected by early-December. Highlights:High grade polymetallic mineralization encountered: Hole TOM21-025 intersected 11.0 m of massive sulphide mineralization from 211.4 to 222.4 m (Figure 1) at the Steffenburgs zone. Continuity of mineralization established: Hole TOM21-025 was drilled 118 m down plunge from TOM21-001 (previously reported here), which returned 8.2 m at 20.94% ZnEq1 from 65.3 to 73.5 m (Figure 2).Down plunge step out in progress: Hole TOM21-027 is currently being drilled 80 m down plunge of the 11.0 m massive sulphide intercept from TOM21-025 (Figure 3).Garrett Ainsworth, CEO of District, commented: \"Our Phase II drill program is off to an excellent start with hole TOM21-025 intersecting the strongest and widest interval of massive sulphide mineralization on the Tomtebo Property to date. Hole TOM21-025 shows strong continuity of massive sulphide mineralization between our Phase I drill hole TOM21-001 and the -200 m exploration drift at the Steffenburgs zone. With a better understanding on the orientation of this intense massive sulphide lens we are currently drilling 80 m below hole TOM21-025. Hole TOM21-024 was drilled south of the northwest plunging massive sulphide lens encountered with holes TOM21-001 and -025, but still returned two intervals (5.6 and 4.6 m) of disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralization, which will be followed up on shortly. Lastly, hole TOM21-023B tested the coincident magnetic and gravity target locat...
