NorZinc hits multiple high grade silver and zinc intercepts in 2020 surface drill program

11 December 2020

NorZinc Ltd. is pleased to announce final assay results from surface drill hole PC-20-225, the first hole drilled at the Company’s Prairie Creek Mine Site since 2015.  Designed to target the inferred Main Quartz Vein (MQV) resource immediately adjacent to but outside of the existing mine plan, PC-20-225 intercepted the MQV as expected plus two stockwork (STK) zones not yet included in any resource estimate to date. Further holes are planned for 2021.
Assay Highlights of Hole PC-20-225 
•MQV intercept 4.26m (estimated true width 3.94m) grading 203.8g/t (5.9 oz/ton) Silver, 27.18% Zinc and 16.89% Lead (56.28% ZnEq[1])
•STK intercepts 

  • 1.02m grading 189 g/t (5.5 oz/ton) Silver, 25.40% Zinc, 10.4% Lead (45.28% ZnEq)
  • 1.02m grading 120 g/t (3.5 oz/ton) Silver, 32.50% Zinc, 4.47% Lead (42.45% ZnEq)
  • 1.86m grading 205.3 g/t (6.0 oz/ton) Silver, 9.43% Zinc, 20.19% Lead (42.91% ZnEq)
