NorZinc Ltd. has recently undertaken an investigative analysis of drill core samples from its 2020 Surface Drill Program, Hole PC-20-225. The intent of this analysis was to identify possible additional metal opportunities that have not been re-assessed since the standard Prairie Creek assay suite was defined in 1993, and which did not include assaying for gold.
Following the Company’s news release on December 11, 2020, additional results have been received as part of this follow-on investigation, whereby 4 out of 35 assays have returned anomalous gold values that have not previously been observed at Prairie Creek. These 4 samples are from Stockwork-style mineralization (STK), which has only been included in the Company’s defined Mineral Resources since 2015.
There are no gold anomalies present in the recent samples from the Main Quartz Vein (MQV) zone.
