[{"type":"text","content":"Metallic Minerals Drills 1,540 g/t Ag Eq over 1.63 meters within 20.9 meters of 230 g/t Ag Eq at Keno Silver Project in Yukon, CanadaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2023 / Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX.V:MMG)(OTCQB:MMNGF) (\"Metallic Minerals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce additional results from the 2022 field program at the Keno Silver project in the historic Keno Hill silver district of the Yukon: Canada's most important silver mining district. These results cover the West Keno area and represent the second in a series of results to be released from the Company's 2022 exploration program, which included 3,265 meters (\"m\") of diamond core drilling in 23 drill holes focused on expansion of advanced stage, \"resource-ready\" targets in anticipation of an inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate in 2023.Exploration in 2022 at West Keno focused on drilling at the advanced-stage Formo target, which produced silver at various times since the 1930s from high-grade vein structures that graded over 1,000 g/t silver1. Formo is a significant inholding within the neighbouring Hecla Mining property and is on trend with the historic Hector-Calumet Mine, which produced nearly 100 million ounces of silver making it the largest individual mine in the district1.2022 West Keno Exploration highlightsHigh-grade silver (\"Ag\"), lead (\"Pb\") and zinc (\"Zn\") mineralization was encountered in five of seven holes (See Table 1). Both high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn vein-style mineralization and broader zones of moderate grade Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization were encountered.A total of 40 high-grade samples of over 100 g/t silver equivalent (\"Ag Eq\") were intercepted in the 2022 West Keno drilling, including:FOR22-01, 0.54 m @ 2,291 g/t Ag Eq (1,139 g/t Ag, 18.32% Pb, 14.79% Zn)FOR22-02, 0.5 m @ 1,025.1 g/t Ag Eq (14 g/t Ag, 0.07% Pb, 23.36% Zn)FOR22-04, 1.63 m @ 1,536.2 g/t Ag Eq (1,049.5 g/t Ag, 4.21% Pb, 9.45% Zn)FOR22-04, 0.64 m @ 2,127.9 g/t Ag Eq (1,358 g/t Ag, 4.16% Pb, 16.42% Zn)FOR22-05, 0.5 m @ 1,215.3 g/t Ag Eq (850 g/t Ag, 7.65% Pb, 3.97% Zn)All five holes encountering significant silver mineralization in 2022 also intercepted broad bulk-tonnage zones averaging 26.2 m @ 85.6 g/t Ag Eq comprised of multiple high-grade vein intervals with associated stringers and stockwork veining.Metallic Minerals President, Scott Petsel, stated...
