[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nMarketwire\n\n\n\n\nTrevali drills significant zinc-lead mineralization at Halfmile deposit\n\n\nHighlights include: 110.5 metres(i) of 7.86% Zn and 2.34% Pb, including \n\n37.2 metres(i) of 11.38% Zn and 4.05% Pb;\n\nAlso, 22.1 metres(i) of 10.71% Zn, 4.16% Pb and 69.97 g/t Ag\n\n\n\n\n\n\n VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 14, 2017) - Trevali Mining Corporation (\"Trevali\" or the \"Company\") (TSX:TV)(LMA:TV)(OTCQX:TREVF)(FRANKFURT:4TI) announces results from its 2016-2017 resource definition drill program on its Halfmile deposit in the Bathurst Mining Camp of northeastern New Brunswick. The program was designed to validate historic data as well as to expand and improve upon the existing geological model. Trevali completed 28 holes (15,175 metres) testing a variety of targets within and around the Upper and Lower Zones of the Halfmile deposit that remains open for expansion. \n The Halfmile deposit has a currently defined Indicated Resource of 6.26 million tonnes grading 8.13% Zn, 2.58% Pb, 0.22% Cu, and 30.8 g/t Ag, and an additional Inferred Resource of 6.08 million tonnes at 6.69% Zn, 1.83% Pb, 0.14% Cu and 20.5 g/t Ag. The 2016-17 Halfmile drill program was initiated with a variety of goals:\n \n \n Validate the historic drilling and geological model in the Lower Zone of the deposit \n \n Define limits of mineralization \n \n Test geologic and geophysical exploration targets in the general vicinity of the currently defined mineralization \n \n Collect geotechnical data for future engineering and mine planning studies \n \n Test working geologic interpretations / models \n \n \n In general, results from the 2016-2017 drilling campaign corroborates the historic drilling completed on the project. This latest drilling dramatically increases Trevali's confidence in the resource model and provides further information about precious metal values in the Upper and Lower Zones as previous drill programs did not consistently analyze for silver or gold. The recent drilling has also facilitated an improved understanding of the local geology and thus allowed for a more realistic model of mineralization that will ultimately facilitate future engineering studies.\n Figure 1: Drill hole location map is available at the following address: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/170614_TV_Figure1.pdf \n \n ...
