[{"type":"text","content":"Metallic Minerals Announces Surface Samples up to 12,000 g/t Silver from Keno Summit Targets on Keno Silver Project in the Yukon TerritoryVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2017) - Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSXV: MMG) (OTC Pink: MMNGF) (\"Metallic Minerals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce initial exploration results from its 2017 field program, including trenching and surface sampling at the Keno Summit area of its 100% owned Keno Silver Project, in Canada's Yukon Territory. The Keno Silver Project is located in the historic Keno Hill Silver District; a region which has produced over 200 million ounces of silver and currently hosts one of the world's highest-grade silver resources. Further data analysis on the project is in process and additional results from the 2017 program, which included diamond core drilling at the Caribou/Duncan and Homestake targets, are anticipated in the coming weeks.During Metallic Minerals' inaugural program at the Keno Silver Project, the Company conducted field investigations, including detailed stratigraphic mapping of trenches and outcrops, surface sampling, satellite photogrammetry, geophysical surveys, soil sampling, trenching and diamond drilling. Twelve targets were prioritized for initial follow-up work, with three of these advanced to the drill targeting stage which commenced in September. Trenching was completed on five target areas which had identified prospective areas through soil sampling and geophysics. The trenching was intended to confirm the presence of significant bedrock mineralization that could be advanced to drill-ready status and was conducted primarily in the Keno Summit area, namely at Gold Hill, Bounty, Caribou, Faith/Divide and Homestake targets (see Figure 1). A total of approximately 0.5 kilometers of trenching was completed in 18 locations as a series of linear trenches or pits. The trenches yielded valuable stratigraphic information, with particularly noteworthy results returned from the Gold Hill and Bounty target areas where significant new bedrock mineralization was exposed at surface following initial soil and rock sampling.Table 1: Highlighted Keno Summit Rock Sampling Results Sample # Area Type Ag g/t Pb % Zn % Au g/t Cu % Ag EQ g/t 1907511 Bounty/Buccaneer Grab 625 1.22 2.75 0.101 0.24 867 1907512 Bounty/Buccaneer Grab 2,609 65...
