[{"type":"text","content":"Drilling Intersects 9.09% Zn+Pb and 14.4 g/t Ag at the Akie ProjectVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 2, 2021 / ZincX Resources Corp. (\"ZincX\" or the \"Company\"), (TSX Venture Exchange:ZNX), (US:ZNCXF), (FRA:M9R) is pleased to announce that assay results have been received from the remainder of the 2021 diamond drill holes that targeted the Cardiac Creek deposit.The Company recently completed a large-diameter HQ diamond drill program that focused on the Cardiac Creek deposit. A total of 5 drill holes were drilled on the Cardiac Creek deposit for a total of 2,669 metres. All five holes successfully tested the Cardiac Creek Zone with excellent recovery of thick intervals of sphalerite-galena-barite mineralization displaying the highly mottled textures which generally indicate greater than average zinc grades. Over 500 HQ drill core samples have been submitted for analysis and results have now been received from drill hole A-21-158 and A-21-159.Drill hole A-21-158 returned 9.09% Zn+Pb and 14.4 g/t Ag over a true width of 5.83 metres contained within a longer mineralized interval of 6.21% Zn+Pb and 10.3 g/t Ag over a true width of 14.38 metres.Drill hole A-21-159 returned 5.59% Zn+Pb and 8.7 g/t Ag over a true width of 19.55 metres including 8.92% Zn+Pb and 10.3 g/t Ag over a true width of 3.10 metres.Drill holes A-21-158 and A-21-159 were both drilled from the same setup as A-21-157. Both holes targeted the southeast strike extents of the high-grade core of the Cardiac Creek deposit. Drill hole A-21-158 tested the up-dip portion of this target area. Surrounding holes include A-11-98, A-14-115, and A-17-138. Drill hole A-21-159 tested the down-dip portion of this area surrounded by A-05-33, A-08-64 and A-06-40. Both drill holes returned significant intervals of sulphide mineralisation.A-21-158A broad envelope of mineralisation was intersected from 275.50 to 305.23 metres representing a true width of 25.34 metres that returned 4.82% Zn+Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag. Within this envelope the Cardiac Creek Zone is present from 288.37 to 305.23 metres, grading 6.21% Zn+Pb and 10.3 g/t Ag over a true width of 14.38 metres. Higher-grade intervals are present including 9.09% Zn+Pb and 14.4 g/t Ag over a true width of 5.83 metres from 294.42 to 301.25 metres; The Zone hosts a total of 9 samples that grade in excess of 7% Zn and 1% Pb over an aggr...
