[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FIREWEED METALS CORP. (“Fireweed” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FWZ; OTCQB: FWEDF, formerly known as Fireweed Zinc Ltd.) is pleased to announce a successful start to the 2022 drill program and an update on the exploration programs at their flagship Macmillan Pass zinc-lead-silver project, Yukon, Canada, as well as the newly acquired Mactung tungsten project straddling the Yukon and Northwest Territories border, and their recently staked Gayna River zinc-lead-gallium-germanium project in the Northwest Territories. Highlights Macmillan Pass Discovery of massive sulphide mineralization on the south side of a fault at Boundary West. Discovery of laminated sphalerite-galena-barite mineralization at Boundary Main. Significant widths of massive pyrite-sphalerite-galena mineralization have been intersected in the first two holes at Boundary West. Four diamond drilling rigs are currently turning on the property, two at Boundary Zone, and two at Tom West. Nineteen drill holes have been completed to date, totaling 5,234 m. Over 8,315 metres of core have successfully been scanned using state-of-the-art XRF and hyperspectral sensors. Mactung LiDAR was flown successfully over the extent of the property. Field crews are mobilizing to conduct a bulk density and resampling program on historic core. The bulk density and resampling program will validate historic data to support a mineral resource estimate. Gayna River LiDAR was flown successfully over the extent of the property. Field crews have completed detailed mapping and prospecting during an initial site visit. Rock and soil samples were submitted for geochemical analysis on August 1st. Geophysical crews conducted a ground gravity survey over areas of high prospectivity along the reef margins. CEO Statement Brandon Macdonald, CEO, stated “Despite a late start to the season we have so far had tremendous success. Not only has every hole drilled intersected some degree of zinc mineralization, but we’ve made several discoveries of new locations for significant mineralization. Whether on purpose, or sometimes by accident when targeting other zones, we just can’t stop finding zinc.” Macmillan Pass Diamond Drilling Diamond drilling at Boundary West in holes NB22-001 and NB22-002 (Maps 1 & 2), have successfully stepped-out the massive s...
