(TSXV:CMB) (Frankfurt:ZM5P) (CMCXF:OTCQB) (\"CMC\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has identified high grade silver-lead-zinc samples from trenches and a historic adit dump on its Amy Property in north-central British Columbia.Samples were collected from two trenches namely the Wild Turkey Zone - Trench 1 and the Whistle Pig Zone Trench 3 and the 4200 level adit dump. Samples were collected from outcrops and provided some spectacular results with up to 946 g/t silver, 18.76% lead, 8.3% zinc, and 9.7% manganese (see Figure 1). The trenches were located in close proximity to the Amy Prospect where previous explorationists noted the presence of high-grade silver-lead-zinc in carbonate replacement (\"CRD\") style mineralization.The Amy Property is located within the emerging Rancheria Silver District which is known to host numerous silver-lead-zinc occurrences and also includes the Silvertip mine (one of the world highest grade underground silver-lead-zinc mines) owned by Coeur Mining. Amy is located only 8 kilometers west of the Silvertip mine. It was actively explored in the early 1960's and 1970's but since that time has never been explored using modern exploration techniques.In 2021 CMC Metals contracted SRK Consulting to compile all of the historic data from these early exploration efforts and sampled one site.In 2022, exploration crews visited all of the former historic trenches most of which had capsized, so sampling was limited. Trenching is required to properly determine the extent of the identified mineralization and to re-establish possible exposures in over 20 historic trenches. Samples at the 4200- level adit dump were not high graded but selected if mineralization was visually evident. Mineralization was noted to occur within limestone and skarnified rocks.Mr. John Bossio, Chairman noted that \"This new evidence of high grade CRD mineralization at Amy supports our concept that the area around the Silvertip mine has significant potential to host other significant carbonate replacement style deposits. CMC is very well positioned in this area with both the Amy and Silverknife properties demonstrating consi...
