[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: IZN) (the “Company”) announces an expanded 2019 exploration program at the Indy zinc project (100% option) located 100km southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia. Near-surface, Sedex-type mineralization was discovered by initial drilling at soil geochemical Anomaly B in the summer of 2018 and an additional zinc-in-soil geochemical anomaly was acquired by staking in Q3 2018. To date, four large soil geochemical anomalies with an aggregate length of 4.0 km occur on the property and remain to be drill tested. The 2019 exploration program will include extensive soil geochemical programs, commencing in mid-June, to expand, define and prioritize these targets for drilling. Up to 1,000 soil samples will be collected and analyzed from the following areas: Geochemical Anomaly Length (strike) Anomaly B 1.5km Anomaly C 700m - open Anomaly D 1.0km - open Action 800m - open With a large claim position (25km strike), new discoveries of shallow mineralization and extensive geochemical anomalies remaining to be tested, the Indy project provides multiple opportunities for new discoveries of a sedimentary hosted exhalative (Sedex) type deposit in an accessible and unexplored region of central British Columbia. 2018 Drill Program Identified New Zone of Near Surface Mineralization The 2018 drill program, the Company’s first drill program at Indy, discovered shallow Sedex-style mineralization at the new B-9 zone at Anomaly B, including high-grade massive sulphide mineralization in holes IB18-009 and IB18-003 which are 250m apart and remain open for further exploration (see News Release NR18-07 and NR18-06): Hole IB18-009 12.33% Zn, 2.98% Pb, and 24.46 g/t Ag (14.98% ZnEq) over 6.29m at 60m below surface Hole IB18-003 (low core recovery) 9.26% Zn, 2.43% Pb and 17.98 g/t Ag (11.38% ZnEq) over 3.05m at 23m below surface Hole IB18-008 5.76% Zn, 0.48% Pb and 3.41 g/t Ag (6.18% ZnEq) over 6.73m at 56m below surface Note: Drilled intersections are apparent widths only.
