[{"type":"text","content":"Murchison Identifies 58 New Conductors at Brabant LakeTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 6, 2020 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. (\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR) is pleased to announce that it has completed a 949 line kilometre electromagnetic (VTEM-Max) airborne survey covering approximately 3,353 hectares at the Brabant Lake project in northern Saskatchewan. The focus was primarily to identify additional new targets on the south-west extension of the geological horizon which hosts the Brabant-McKenzie VMS Deposit. A total of 58 new conductors have been identified of which, 35 are located on the Brabant-McKenzie VMS Deposit horizon.This survey successfully identified 35 electromagnetic (\"EM\") conductors to the south-west of the Brabant-McKenzie Deposit and the recently announced Main Lake drill discovery. These are of limited strike length and range in conductance from moderate to high (see Figure 1). Short strong EM conductors are ideal targets for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) exploration. The new anomalies are located relatively close to Highway 102 and thus, are favourably located for ground exploration and prospecting. Some 23 additional EM conductors have also been defined on the M-Block group of claims located on the eastern side of the Brabant project and are presented in Figure 2.This survey complements the approximately 60 other existing anomalies identified in previous airborne surveys.\"The discovery of so many new EM conductors at the Brabant project paired with the new discovery at Main Lake is very exciting and we feel we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg\"- Mr. Jean-Charles Potvin, President and CEO Murchison Minerals.The previously un-flown part of Murchison's 565 km2 property package was covered on a 400 metre spacing which included a number of in-fill lines at 200 metre spacing over the six historical mineral showings located on the MAS claim block acquired in February 2020. Three of these six showings have EM conductors located in close proximity.On March 31, 2020 Murchison announced it had intersected VMS type copper-zinc-silver mineralisation on one of the 7 EM conductors identified in the 2019 VTEM survey near Main Lake. This new VTEM survey has identified several isolated conductors within a 3 km radius of the Main Lake discovery.Figure 1Figure 2Ground Geophysics at Brabant SouthMurchis...
