InZinc Extends West Desert High-Grade Mineralization to the West

InZinc Mining (TSXV:IZN) has reported assay results from the first drill hole, WD18-01, of the ongoing drill program at its West Desert project in western Utah.

As highlighted in the press release:

• Thick interval of 50.6 ft of 6.28 percent zinc, 0.4 percent copper, 66.8 grams per tonne (g/t) indium at significantly higher grade than 2014 resource average in a previously un-drilled area
• Significant copper interval with 15.0 ft of 2.1 percent copper, also in a previously un-drilled area
• Shallow high-grade intercept of 6.6 ft of 11.77 percent zinc, 0.5 percent copper, 72.6 g/t indium
• Improved potential for shallow zinc-copper-indium tonnage immediately west of WD18-01
• Significant widths of indium mineralization at higher grades 50.6 ft of 66.8 g/t indium, 30 ft of 183.9 g/t indium and 10ft of 272.7 g/t indium — higher than the 2014 resource of about 30 g/t indium
• Earlier this year, Indium was declared one of the 23 critical elements by the US government

As quoted in the press release, chief executive officer of InZinc Wayne Hubert said:

“With an aggregate of over 100 feet of mineralization intersected in our first hole, we are very pleased with these results. Our goal was to assess the potential for higher grade zinc and the presence of indium in the shallower western portion of the deposit. In both cases the objective was met with success leaving us with significant room for expansion further to the west.”

Drilling continues at the site with holes to the east and proximal to the past-producing Utah silver mine.
