[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 19, 2015) - Minfocus Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE: MFX) (\"Minfocus\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report further significant zinc and lead assay results from the extended trench sampling at the Coral Zinc prospect and has recently received a mineral exploration permit from the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines to allow a diamond drilling program which is planned to be undertaken in early summer of 2016.In September 2015, extension of the Hound Dog Creek Trench No. 1 at the Coral Zinc prospect to a total length of 12.9 metres yielded recent samples with an average grade of 3.21% zinc, 0.70% lead over 9.5 metres as compared with 3.22% zinc, 0.72% lead over 9.0 metres from the June 2015 sampling program, both as measured from the south end of the trench.*Compilation and replotting of several separate historical zinc geochemical surveys has extended the previously reported zinc geochemical soil anomaly (up to 6680 ppm Zn) to a continuous length exceeding 1.0 kilometres and a width of up to 400 metres, which is open-ended in at least two directions.B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines has issued a 2-year Mines Act permit to Minfocus to allow a drill program of up to ten drill hole sites, which is proposed for early summer 2016 to drill the large untested zinc geochemical soil anomaly.In addition, Minfocus relocated and surveyed with hand-held GPSs the drill collars for the eight holes drilled in 1988 adjacent to the extended Hound Dog Creek trench. A new more accurate plotting of the main mineralized features and sections through the area can be examined on the Minfocus website (www.minfocus.com). The drill holes from the 1988 program (assays up to 7.67% Zn) and Hound Dog Creek trench No. 1 are located just 50-100 metres outside the edge of this large untested zinc geochemical anomaly.*Activation Laboratories Ltd. of Kamloops, BC, an SCC accredited laboratory analyzed all trench samples using a four-acid total digestion followed by ICP-OES.Exploration History of Coral Zinc ProjectThe Coral Zinc prospect was discovered in the early 1970s, in the central Rocky Mountains, north of Mackenzie, B.C. Logging roads now reach within 15 kilometres of the Coral Zinc prospect area and a high-voltage power line is planned to pass within 25 kilometres to deliver power for another advanced mine development ...
