[{"type":"text","content":"ZincX Resources Drills 10.74% Zn+Pb and 16.74 g/t Ag over 14.24 Metres at the Cardiac Creek DepositVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 23, 2019 / ZincX Resources Corp. (\"ZincX Resources\" or \"the Company\", TSX Venture Exchange: ZNX) is pleased to announce the second set of assay results from the 2019 diamond drilling program on the Akie Project.The Company recently completed a 4-hole large-diameter HQ diamond drill program that focused on the Cardiac Creek deposit totalling 2,347 metres. All four holes successfully intersected the Cardiac Creek Zone with excellent recovery of thick intervals of sphalerite-galena-barite mineralization; including highly mottled textures which generally indicate greater than average zinc grades. Over 480 HQ drill core samples have been submitted for analysis. Results from drill hole A-19-151 are presented below.2019 Akie Drill Result HighlightsDrill hole A-19-151 returned 9.8% Zn+Pb and 15.5 g/t Ag over a true width of 16.37 metres including 10.74% Zn+Pb and 16.74 g/t Ag over a true width of 14.24 metresDrill hole A-19-151 targeted the lower portion of the high-grade core along its southeastern edge down dip of the pierce point obtained from hole A-19-150. A broad envelope of mineralisation was intersected from 560.00 metres to 608.80 metres representing a true width of 30.85 metres that returned 5.9% Zn+Pb and 9.7 g/t Ag. Within this envelope the Cardiac Creek Zone is present from 568.42 metres to 594.40 metres, grading 9.8% Zn+Pb and 15.5 g/t Ag over a true width of 16.37 metres. Higher-grade intervals are present including 10.74% Zn+Pb and 16.74 g/t Ag over a true width of 14.24 metres from 571.15 to 593.75 metres. The Footwall Zone was intersected below the Cardiac Creek Zone from 603.30 to 608.80 and returned 3.2% Zn+Pb and 5 g/t Ag over a true width of 3.51 metres.The Cardiac Creek Zone is comprised of thickly bedded sulphides comprised of laminar pyrite interbanded with steel-grey sphalerite and galena. Higher grade mineralisation is associated with the \"mottled\" textured sphalerite with galena bands present within the laminar pyrite. This higher grade mineralisation occurs over a 15-metre downhole interval from 580.90 to 595.15 metres.The Footwall Zone consists primarily of thick beds of laminar pyrite with a few steel grey sphalerite-rich bands displaying some localized mottling te...
