(\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR)(OTCQB:MURMF) is pleased to announce results analysed using portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) from the second diamond drillhole, at the Barre de Fer (\"BDF\") zone, as part of the 2022 Summer Exploration Program on the 100% - owned HPM (Haut-Plateau de la Manicouagan) Project, located in Quebec.It should be noted that pXRF results provide only an indication of the amount of Ni, Cu, and Co present, Certified assaying of the core samples is still required to accurately determine the amount of mineralization (Nickel-Copper-Cobalt). The Company has implemented rigorous QA/QC procedures utilizing a direct rock sampler (Figure 9) to produce reasonably representative preliminary results (see pXRF Sample Procedures and QA/QC below).BDF22-002 HighlightsThe hole was drilled to a depth of 452 m and intersected two broad zones of Ni-Cu-Co sulphide bearing mineralization totalling 175.15 m of composite thickness (Table 1) including:121.20 m estimated at 1.39% pXRF Ni Eq. (123.80 to 245.0 m)Including 10.10 m at 2.75% pXRF Ni Eq. (134.1 to 144.20 m)Including 44.00 m at 2.18% pXRF Ni Eq. (152.00 to 196.00 m)Including 28.80 m at 3.03% pXRF Ni Eq. (152.00 to 180.80 m)Including 21.00 m at 3.43% pXRF Ni Eq. (152.5 to 173.5 m)Including 3.75 m at 3.43% pXRF Ni Eq. (177.05 to 180.8 m)Including 10.50 m at 1.97% pXRF Ni Eq. (207.5 to 218.0 m)53.95 m disseminated sulphide zone estimated at 0.25% pXRF Ni Eq. (303.55 to 357.50 m)Best intersection drilled to date on the HPM PropertyThe hole successfully confirmed mineralization downdip from DH-151-02, exceeding expectations. The hole also confirmed mineralization up dip of DH-151-05EX.The majority of the mineralization is outside of the previously modelled zone (Figure 7)Figure 1: Massive sulphide mineralization in BDF22-002 at 152.00 m to 161.00 m.Murchison Minerals President and CEO Troy Boisjoli comments:\"The objective of the 2022 drill program was to expand near-surface high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt mineralization at the Barre de Fer Zone and the holes to date are delivering on that objective.
