[{"type":"text","content":"Murchison Minerals Concludes Winter Diamond Drill Program, Expands VMS Mineralization (Copper-Zinc-Silver-Lead-Gold) at BMK DepositThe 2024 Winter Diamond Drill Program successfully expanded VMS mineralization at the BMK Deposit, demonstrating the Deposit remains open and highly prospective for further expansion and discovery of an associated copper stockwork zoneThe Program comprised four diamond drill holes totaling 2,712 metresFour target areas, designed as a first pass across BMK Deposit and proximal anomalies were tested:BMK Extension (three targets): one hole each at BMK North and South designed to test along strike from the BMK Deposit, and one hole at BMK Deep which tested below the known extents of the BMK DepositCST, a HeliSAM target, which lies 400 m along strike to the southwest of the BMK DepositBMK North and South Extension Targets - drilling expanded the footprint of mineralization along strike from BMK, highlighted by:BMK24-002 intersected mineralization 100 m to the northwest of the Deposit's current footprint, intersecting grades up to 1.96% copper, with a higher copper to zinc ratio indicative of copper stockwork mineralization.BMK Deep Extension Target - drilling successfully intersected mineralization at depth below the known extents of the BMK Deposit, highlighted by:BMK24-003 intersecting 2.78 m of 1.04% CuEq. 110 m below the known extents of the BMK Deposit.CST Target - drilling intersected strong VMS alteration, which was later correlated to an off-hole geophysical anomaly identified during a Borehole EM (BHEM) Survey. The alteration associated with the anomaly indicates the CST area remains prospective. Additionally, drilling intersected high-grade rare earth elements (REEs), highlighted by:CST24-001 which intersected 7.76% TREO over 0.5 metre, this is the first drill hole on the BMK Project to intersect high-grade REEs and the Company will undertake a review of historic drill holes for possible resampling.BURLINGTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 29, 2024 / Murchison Minerals Ltd.
