This would be similar in style to Foran Mining's Mcllvenna Bay Deposit, where a significant copper stockworks zone, associated with the zone of zinc-rich massive sulphide was discovered.VMS systems typically form in clusters, and the BMK Deposit is the only VMS deposit that has been discovered and delineated at the BMK Project. However, VMS-style mineralization has been discovered at numerous targets along the BMK Trend (Figure 1), including:Main Lake where a 0.89 m backpack drillhole intersected 8.31% Zn, 6.17% Cu, 140 g/t Ag, and 0.2 g/t AuBetty Zone where diamond drilling intersected 0.92 m grading 4.40% Zn, 1.33% Cu, and 12.95 g/t AgThe BMK Trend is highly prospective for the discovery of additional copper-zinc rich VMS deposits.Identification of the BMK Trend, a ~37 km strike length of favourable stratigraphy and VMS style mineralization, extending from Main Lake Target in the South to the Street Lake Target in the North.The Company has staked an additional ~75 km2 of claims along strike to the northwest of the main BMK Project area, encompassing the entire prospective BMK Trend.The BMK Project area now totals ~655 km2, with excellent existing infrastructure directly adjacent to the project area.BURLINGTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2023 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. (\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR) (OTCQB:MURMF) is pleased to announce that it has appointed renowned volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits expert Dr. Stephen Piercey as technical advisor for the 100% owned Brabant-McKenzie (BMK) project located in Saskatchewan, Canada. Based on the work Dr. Piercey and Murchison's technical team completed this Spring the Company believes that the BMK Deposit area is prospective to host a copper-rich stockwork zone, similar in style to Foran Mining's Mcllvenna Bay Project. Additionally, Murchison's technical team has identified a 37 km trend (BMK Trend) which has numerous showings of VMS mineralization, leading to the high potential of discovering further VMS deposits along strike of the BM...
