[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V:IZN) (“InZinc” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from the 2017 surface exploration program at the Indy zinc project (100% option) located in central BC. Highlights include identification of multiple, extensive geochemical anomalies defined across a 1.5 km trend known to host zinc mineralization. In addition, a separate large and open-ended zinc in soil anomaly has been outlined in the central area of the project. 2017 Exploration Program Highlights Anomaly B Area Hosts 450 m long mineralized zone discovered by soil geochemistry in 1988 1.5 km by 300 m area covered by detailed sampling in 2017 Extended soil anomaly associated with mineralized zone northwest by 800 m – remains open Identified extensive new soil anomalies immediately west and north of mineralized zone Aggregate length of 1.8 km of newly outlined soil geochemical anomalies Anomaly C Outlined continuous zinc in soil anomaly over 600 m in length Open for expansion to the north and south 2017 Programs The 2017 field program consisted of geochemical surveys, geological mapping and prospecting in the anomaly B and C areas, two of four high priority areas occurring over a 6.5 km trend at Indy. The program represents the first broad application of modern geochemical exploration techniques on the project. Anomaly B Area The Anomaly B area is host to a near surface 450 m long mineralized zone discovered by soil geochemistry in 1988 and subsequently drilled by Cominco with five wide spaced drill holes. Near surface mineralized intersections containing sphalerite, galena and minor barite occurring in dolomitic carbonate rocks were reported in all five holes. Drill intersections ranged from 1.5 m to 19.7 m widths, grading from 1.9% to 8.9% zinc, from 1.0 g/t to 55.6 g/t silver and from 0.04% to 2.4% lead. Outcrop exposure is very rare over the entire area. During the 2017 program, soil geochemical sampling was completed over a 1.5 km by 300 m grid area. This work has extended the zinc in soil anomaly associated with the historically drilled mineralized zone for a further 800 m to the north. Additionally, strong and extensive zinc in soil anomalies have been identified west, downslope and parallel to the mineralized zone. These anomalies coalesce between 500 m and 700 m ...
