[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) announces that it has received assay results from 94 prospecting samples collected this past summer at its Thunder Bay Silver-Cobalt Project, west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The samples were collected to evaluate the potential for multi-element silver mineralization around the 12 past-producing historical mines present on the Company’s extensive land package. Results are very positive with grab samples returning silver values of up to 1,503 g/t silver and zinc values of up to 5.77%. The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent the true grade mineralization. Highlights (Figure 1): High-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization was confirmed at the historic Elgin mine, along a new structural trend north of the Beaver Mine; A geochemical anomaly with elevated copper, gold, lead and zinc, interpreted as proximal to cobalt-silver mineralization, was detected near the historic Augusta Mine; A geochemical anomaly with elevated lead and zinc, interpreted as a proximal indicator to silver mineralization, was detected near the Gopher Mine; and Geochemical anomalies revealed a new structure with potential for silver-cobalt mineralization in the Pearson Township. Quentin Yarie, Honey Badger’s President and CEO commented: “Our prospecting results are very exciting as they are not only defining additional exploration targets near our recent silver-cobalt discoveries at the Beaver Mine, but they also show that high-grade silver mineralization exists on the project beyond the Beaver Mine. We also identified intriguing chemical anomalies indicative of additional silver and cobalt-silver mineralization on our Mink/Silver Mountain Property and we discovered in the Pearson Township, in an area that was never explored before, a structure that is prospective for silver-cobalt mineralization. Our consistent positive results continue to highlight our project’s potential.” Table 1.
