[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FIREWEED METALS CORP. (“Fireweed” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FWZ; OTCQB: FWEDF, formerly Fireweed Zinc Ltd.) is pleased to announce additional results from the 2022 drill program at Boundary Zone, Macmillan Pass zinc-lead-silver project, Yukon, Canada (Map 1). Highlights A high grade and wide intersection of zinc mineralization in NB22-021 for 105 metres (m) of 8.4% zinc and 12.1 g/t silver starting from surface. A new stratiform zone in NB22-018 returned 8 m of 11.5% zinc, 1.7% lead, and 61 g/t silver. All holes completed hit zinc mineralization. Results from the last five (5) holes from Boundary Zone and nine (9) holes from the Tom deposit are pending. CEO Statement Brandon Macdonald, CEO, stated “Boundary Main Zone continues to impress with not only the wide tenor of mineralization but also with high-grade intervals. Equally important is the discovery of a new stratiform zone where we expect to see good continuity of mineralization consistent with similar zones at Tom, Jason and Boundary West. With a large drill campaign planned for the summer we are looking forward to testing the extents of mineralization in these zones and growing our already world-class metal endowment.” Boundary Zone Drilling Results The following drill results (Tables 1 and 2) are from seven (7) drill holes located at Boundary Zone (Maps 1 and 2), all within the Boundary Main area. The last results from five (5) holes from Boundary Main and nine (9) holes from the Tom zinc-lead-silver deposit 2022 drill program are still pending.
