[{"type":"text","content":"\n VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trevali Mining Corporation (“Trevali” or the “Company”) (TSX: TV, BVL: TV; OTCQX: TREVF, Frankfurt: 4TI) announces additional details from the 2019 exploration and mineral resource expansion program on the discovery of the new volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) lens at the Perkoa Mine, Burkina Faso. To date, the new massive VMS lens has been intersected in multiple drill holes including PUX021 which intersected 3.42 metres at 13.8% Zn while distal alteration and disseminated mineralization can be traced at least 300 m to the southwest from drill hole PUX020. The mineralization is open along strike and at depth down plunge with exploration drilling currently ongoing. “We are encouraged by the results from the exploration program along the Perkoa T3 horizon,” commented Yan Bourassa, Vice-President of Mineral Resource Management at Trevali. “We are still early in the exploration program of the T3 horizon and our latest drill hole, PUX021, intersected high-grade on the most northern hole drilled to date. Geochemical vectors are getting stronger as drilling moves towards the northeast indicating that the early intercepts could represent the edge of a larger system.” Highlights Hole PUX021 intersected 3.42 metres at 13.8% Zn, including 1.66 metres at 19.4% Zn.Hole PUX020a intersected 6.80 metres at 6.4% Zn, including 1.50 metres at 9.5% Zn.T3 horizon has been intersected over 400 metres along strike. Perkoa Discovery Following the acquisition of the Perkoa mine in August 2017, Trevali recognized the strength of the mineralizing system and targeted expanding Perkoa from a two lens mine into a multi-horizon system. In late 2018, a hole drilled into the Perkoa hanging wall (PUX012) intersected a subtle geochemical anomaly; the first indication of the T3 horizon. By following this geochemical feature, with secondary support from down hole electro-magnetics (DHEM), massive to semi massive sulphide was intersected in PUX020a returning 6.8 metres at 6.4% Zn including 1.5 metres at 9.5% Zn, indicating the high-grade potential. The follow-up hole PUX021 intersected only anomalous mineralization around the T3 horizon. However, the hole was continued and intersected a second mineralized horizon, which contained massive sulphide over...
