[{"type":"text","content":"Murchison Minerals Intersects 15.35 metres of 13.16% Zn Eq at 100% Owned Brabant Lake Project and Concludes Winter DrillingBURLINGTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 22, 2021 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. (\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR) is pleased to announce the 2021 winter drill program assay results for the first three drill holes, BM21-002, BM21-003 and BM21-004, all from the Brabant-McKenzie VMS Deposit. BM21-002 and BM21-003 were designed to test the northern extents of the deposit, and BM21-004 was designed to convert Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources while simultaneously collecting material for metallurgical analysis.Highlights:Hole BM21-004 confirms the continuity of the high-grade mineralization within the deposit with 15.35 metres of continuous sulphide mineralization at 13.16% Zn Eq at the peripheral edge of Indicated Mineral Resources. The intersection consisted of:9.07% Zn, 0.81% Cu, 0.26% Pb, 0.11 g/t Au and 35.11 g/t Ag from 341.20 to 356.55 metresHole BM21-003 proves the continuation of the near-surface mineralization north of reported Mineral Resources with a broad zone of sulphide mineralization, including:107 g/t Ag from 171.50 to 173.00 metres (1.50 m)3.78% Zn, 0.30% Cu, and 8.15 g/t Ag from 175.21 to 176.83 metres (1.62 m)Hole BM21-002, designed to test the northernmost extent of the Brabant-McKenzie deposit at depth, intersected sulphide mineralization consisting of:0.26% Zn, 0.38% Cu, and 5.80 g/t Ag from 325.40 to 326.56 metres (1.16 m)0.47% Zn, 0.34% Cu, and 3.49 g/t Ag from 331.47 to 338.9 metres (7.43 m)2021 Winter Drill CompletionThe 2021 Brabant winter drill program has now concluded due to an early spring break-up - successfully completing 3,920 metres in 14 drill holes. 1,938 metres were in drilled in the Brabant-McKenzie Deposit area (5 holes), 660 metres in the Zn-Cu Betty Showing (2 holes), 924 metres in the Main Lake Target (3 holes) and 351 metres in three high-priority regional drill targets. Assays are pending on 11 of the 14 drill holes completed.Chief Executive Officer Jean-Charles Potvin comments:\"The assay results from the first three holes of our 2021 drill program highlight and confirm the high-grade core of the Brabant-McKenzie Deposit - a target for future Indicated Mineral Resource expansion - and demonstrate the viability of further expanding the deposi...
