[{"type":"text","content":"CMC Metals Ltd. Mobilizes Field Crew for Its Largest Exploration Program in the Emerging Rancheria Silver District in Yukon and British Columbia and the Appointment of a Senior GeologistVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2022 / CMC Metals Ltd. (TSXV:CMB)(Frankfurt:ZM5P)(OTC PINK:CMCXF) (\"CMC\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the first field crews have been mobilized to the Silver Hart Property, Yukon, to prepare for the largest drill program on that property to date. Significant improvements are being made to the camp to support the 2022 exploration program and a camp is also being established to support exploration of the properties in British Columbia.At our flagship Silver Hart Property the access road has been reopened after some challenging conditions related to record snow levels and high freshet runoff conditions. The drill is being mobilized to site and our geological crew will be at site later this week. Highlights of the proposed program at Silver Hart are as follows:This will be CMC's largest drill program to date with an estimated 5,000 meters of drilling planned for this season, focussed on exploring major carbonate replacement (\"CRD\") targets at Silver Hart. The primary targets are T1 and T4 which have been described in previous news releases (see www.cmcmetals.ca news on February 17, 2022). These are very significant targets.An extensive geochemical soil and rock sampling program will be conducted on all conductor targets and to expand on previously identified anomalies.Drill core and soil/rock samples will be examined using X-ray diffraction technologies (\"XRF') to guide ongoing sampling efforts in real time prior to samples being submitted for assay. This is being done to try and provide better guidance to the exploration team to deal with the ongoing problems of delays in receiving assays from testing facilities. CMC has and continues to work on identifying options for improved turnaround times from assay facilities.Field crews will also be mobilized to the three properties in British Columbia (i.e., Silverknife, Amy and Rancheria South) this summer.The Silverknife Property is immediately adjacent to the west of the Silvertip mining claims owned by Coeur Mining Ltd. (\"Couer\"). Couer have recently announced the identification of a very high-grade silver-lead-zinc zone which they have cal...
