[{"type":"text","content":"Metallic Minerals Intersects High-Grade Silver at West Keno Targets including 4.1 Meters of 2,536 g/t Silver Equivalent on the Keno Silver Project,Yukon, CanadaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2021 / Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:MMG)(OTCQB:MMNGF) (\"Metallic Minerals\" or \"The Company\") is pleased to report drill results from the advanced West Keno targets on the Company's 100%-owned, 166-square-kilometer Keno Silver project within the high-grade Keno Hill silver district of Canada's Yukon Territory. The program consisted of 12 diamond drill holes totaling 2,674 meters (8,772 ft) completed at the Formo and Silver Queen targets along extensions of Alexco Resource's productive Bermingham and Elsa structural corridors. Drilling at Formo intersected high-grade silver within well-mineralized vein structures along a north-easterly extension of the Bermingham-Calumet system, which is host to the largest historical mine and the largest current resources and reserves in the Keno Hill silver district1,2.Diamond drilling at West Keno was focused on confirming and expanding the areas of known high-grade mineralization within the existing, historical resource area at the Formo target area. This work follows up on underground channel sampling which identified three mineralized shoots grading more than 1,000 g/t silver equivalent (\"Ag Eq\") that remain open to expansion. These results are an important next step towards developing an initial mineral resource at the Formo target. A single diamond drill hole was also completed at the Silver Queen target to confirm the presence of the Bermingham deposit host stratigraphy along potential parallel extensions of the Bermingham structural corridor.HighlightsFOR-20-003 in the Formo Target Area intersected 4.1m at 2,536 g/t Ag Eq from 96.0m to 100.1m depth including 3.0m at 3,425.9 g/t Ag Eq (1,568 g/t Ag, 29.45% Pb and 15.35% Zn).FOR-20-006: Intersected 2.15m at 740.6 g/t Ag Eq from 137.63m to 139.78m depth including 0.7m at 2,255.9 g/t Ag Eq (1001 g/t Ag, 8.92% Pb, 18.92% Zn).FOR-20-004: Intersected 6.1m at 367.6 g/t Ag Eq from 89.8m to 95.9m depth including 1.9m at 698.4 g/t Ag Eq and 0.5m of 1,083.6 g/t Ag Eq (601 g/t Ag, 7.33% Pb and 4.25% Zn).FOR-20-001: Intersected 6.1 m at 284.5 g/t Ag Eq from 50.9m to 57m depth including 3.05m at 447.5 g/t Ag Eq (369 g/t Ag, 0.11% Pb and 1.52% Zn).SQ-...
