The total mineral claims comprising the Indy project have increased by approximately 75% since January 2021, reflecting the results from 2021 exploration efforts and compilation of historical exploration in the region. InZinc's tenure now extends the Indy property along a continuous 29 km trend supported by easy access and nearby infrastructure.2022 Exploration Planning UnderwayIn 2018, near surface, high-grade Sedex-type zinc mineralization was discovered by soil geochemistry and follow-up diamond drilling at Indy. Since discovery, InZinc has outlined an additional 8.2 km of base and precious metal drill targets on the Indy claim package which remain to be tested. Additional soil geochemical results from the 2021 exploration program are pending review. InZinc has commenced planning for a multi-disciplinary exploration program at Indy in 2022. Details of this program, which includes proposed drilling, are expected at the beginning of Q2-2022.About InZincInZinc is well financed an...
