(\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: MUR) is pleased to announce that it has added another 5,589 hectares of mineral land holdings at the Zn/Cu/Ag Brabant Lake VMS project located in north-central Saskatchewan, after tripling the size of the project area earlier this year. The Company now controls 278 km2 over a strike length of approximately 35 km. The basic interpretation is that mafic rocks in the Brabant Lake area provide first-order exploration targets for VMS-style copper-zinc mineralization hence Murchison staked new claims based on favourable geological horizons, multiple known mineralized showings and identified geophysical conductors and their potential extensions. \n\n \n \n\n \nThe final report on the airborne survey completed in early January by Geotech Ltd.'s Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) geophysical system is expected in the near term. A number of these EM conductors identified in the VTEM survey share similar characteristics with those registered over the wholly-owned Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit where a resource of 2.1 million tonnes averaging 9.98% Zn equivalent in the indicated and 7.6 million tonnes averaging 6.29% Zn equivalent in the inferred categories has already been identified. Previous studies on the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit concluded that it lies in a similar geological setting and is of the same age as the Flin Flon VMS mining camp in Manitoba. The Company plans to follow up with a field prospecting program starting late spring 2019.\nMurchison is also pleased to be returning to PDAC this year hosted from March 4th to the 7th. PDAC International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange is the world's leading convention for people, companies and organizations in, or connected with, mineral exploration. \nThe Company will be exhibiting at...
