(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to report final drill results from its fall 2022 exploration drill program at the Buck Project, central B.C. The program consisted of 10 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 3,000 metres. The focus of the drill program was to test the expansion potential of the Buck Main gold-silver-zinc epithermal-related system along strike and at depth, with step-out distances between 50 to 100 metres. Results from this phase of drilling successfully demonstrates strong expansion potential for both disseminated and high-grade gold-silver-zinc mineralization beyond the existing extent of the known Buck Main zone to the west, northwest and south of previous drill programs. The newly expanded zone of mineralization remains open in multiple directions and is expected to see further step-out drill testing in the next phase of drilling.Highlight intervals include:Hole BK22-080, drilled into an untested area, significantly opens the expansion potential of near-surface gold-silver-zinc mineralization to the northwest:81.2 metres of 0.58 g/t Au, 11.8 g/t Ag and 0.08% Zn,including 10.1 metres of 1.4 g/t Au, 26.6 g/t Ag and 0.20% Zn5.6 metres of 1.18 g/t Au, 43.9 g/t Ag and 0.34% Zn,including 1.1 metres of 5.5 g/t Au, 208 g/t Ag and 1.5% ZnThis high-grade interval is located ~250m to the northwest of drill hole BK22-083 (see January 19, 2023 news release) which intersected 7.0 metres of 6.4 g/t Au, 27.6 g/t Ag, and 1.1% Zn, including 1.1 metres of 38.0 g/t Au, 137.0 g/t Ag, and 5.9% Zn.Hole BK22-077 extends broad zones of strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization intersected in previous holes to the south:54.6 metres of 0.83 g/t Au, 9.2 g/t Ag and 0.21% Zn,including 3.0 metres of 6.06 g/t Au, 62.5 g/t Ag and 0.52% ZnHole BK22-079 represents the largest step-out to the west and extends the footprint of mineralization at Buck Main to over one kilometre along strike:4.7 metres of 0.91 g/t Au, 17.3 g/t Ag and 0.66% Zn, including 1.1 metres of 3.4 g/t Au, 68.6 g/t Ag and 2.05% Zn1 metre of 5.1 g/t Au...
