[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Murchison Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE: MUR) is pleased to provide an update on its Anomaly D geophysical target (“Anomaly D”) located approximately 1 km south of the Brabant-McKenzie high grade zinc-copper deposit (the “Deposit”) in North-Central Saskatchewan. Project Update Highlights Modeling and interpretation results of additional information for Anomaly D acquired from the November 2017 detailed ground electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic (“Mag”) surveys: Have further refined EM Anomaly D as a strong conductive body with minimum dimensions of 800 m strike and 800 m depth extent, starting at approximately 20m below surface Display a strong coincidence between high magnetic susceptibility anomalies and Anomaly D conductivities Show similar conductivities and dimensions to the Deposit which is currently defined over 1,000 m strike length and 610 m depth extent Recent geological prospecting programs have identified chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite sulphide mineralization in outcrop exposures (“Exposures”) proximal to Anomaly D (see press release September 18, 2017). Grab samples of outcrop collected directly over the Exposures returned anomalous copper values. The combination of Anomaly D conductor dimensions, conductivity and proximity to the Exposures hosting anomalous copper values continues to demonstrate the potential for the existence of a massive sulphide body of significant size. President and CEO, Kent Pearson, stated: “The dimensions and strong conductivity of Anomaly D supported with the evidence of visible surface mineralization and associated copper values continue to build our confidence in the potential of this significant target. In particular, we are encouraged by the increasing similarities of Anomaly D to the Brabant-McKenzie Deposit with respect to both the dimensions and strength of its conductivity. In addition to our focus on the expansion of the Deposit towards our 9 to 11 million tonne exploration target with a current grade ranging from 7.5-9.5 % Zn equivalent, Anomaly C and D add potential growth dimensions to the project and are now priority targets. We look forward to testing both anomalies in our next phase of drilling planned for the winter 2018. Project Update Details Anomaly D is located approximately 1 km south of the Deposit.
