(\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR | OTCQB:MURMF) is pleased to announce results analysed using a portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) from the first 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. The BDF zone, was the focus of the diamond drilling Phase of the 2022 summer exploration program, is a high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt zone with currently modelled dimensions of: strike length 315 m, width of 150 m and depth of 295 m. These preliminary results indicate the successful delineation of mineralization within the modeled zone of mineralization, as well as confirming extensive expansion beyond the current model.Portable XRF (pXRF) analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source. It should be noted that the results only provide 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 6) to produce representative preliminary results (see pXRF Procedures and QA/QC below).BDF22-001 HighlightspXRF results confirm the drill hole intersected zones of extensive high-grade Ni-Cu-Co sulphide mineralizationThe massive sulphide mineralization comprises pyrrhotite grains partially separated by loops of chalcopyrite and pentlandite.The hole successfully confirmed mineralization downdip from DH-2006, along with expanding mineralization outside of the currently modeled zone (Figures 1& 2)The hole, was drilled to a depth of 404 m, intersected four broad zones of Ni-Cu-Co sulphide bearing mineralization totalling 130.00 m of composite thickness (Table 1) including:18.05 m estimated at 1.98% pXRF Ni Eq.
