[{"type":"text","content":"Murchison Minerals Intersects High Grade Copper-Zinc Mineralizaton 10 Kilometres Southwest of Brabant-Mckenzie DepositTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2020 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. (\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR) is pleased to announce that exploration drilling on the Brabant Lake property has intersected high grade copper-zinc mineralization 10 km southwest of the Brabant-Mckenzie VMS Deposit.The discovery is at the prospective Main Lake target, interpreted to be on the same geologic horizon as the Brabant-Mckenzie VMS Deposit. The drill hole ML-20-004 is located 270 metres northeast of the historic high grade Main Lake showing which was resampled in the summer of 2019.The mineralization found in diamond drill hole ML-20-004 consists of a copper rich upper zone and a zinc rich lower zone. The Upper zone was intersected over an interval of 3.59 metres (139.65-143.24) with 0.83% Cu, 0.61% Zn and 11.8 g/t Ag. The Lower zone was intersected between 169.80 and 176.42 metres (6.62 metres) returning 0.09% Cu, 1.62% Zn and 41 g/t Ag over the entire interval including 1.02 metres at 5.08% Zn and 0.22 metre at 9.77% Zn. There are several high silver intercepts in this zone as well, the highest of which was 81.2 g/t Ag over 0.82 metre (169.80-170.62 metres).\"This new discovery at the Brabant project further indicates its potential to be an up and coming new VMS mining camp\"- Mr. Jean-Charles Potvin, President and CEO Murchison Minerals.Drill Hole IDFrom (m)To (m)Length (m)Cu (%)Zn (%)Ag (g/t)Au (g/t)ML-20-004 Upper139.65143.243.590.830.6111.800.025ML-20-004 Lower169.80176.426.620.091.6241.100.056including169.80170.620.820.020.6581.200.094including170.62171.641.020.155.0826.900.081including176.20176.420.220.039.7756.500.050Intercepts are reported as drill widths, True thickness is currently unknown This new discovery was made following up on the anomalies identified during the 2019 airborne electromagnetic survey. This conductor is on strike with the historical high grade copper/zinc/silver at the Main Lake showing. Drill holes ML-20-001, ML-20-002 and ML-20-003 discovered weak copper and zinc mineralization but extensive VMS style alteration observed as abundant inferred anthophyllite and garnet. An offhole borehole electromagnetic anomaly was observed in hole ML-20-001 which was followed up by drilling ML-20-004 lead...
