Midland Exploration and Zincore Metals Confirm Zinc Mineralization

Midland Exploration (TSXV:MD) and Zincore Metals announced an update on the progress at the Gatineau Zinc project.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Two trenches were recently completed over the Leitch and Lafontaine zinc deposits to obtain further geological data in order to orient a future drilling campaign. The Lafontaine and Leitch deposits remain not much worked since the 1980′s. Channel sampling, on both sites, revealed a zinc rich massive sulphide horizon. On the Leitch trench, a total of 35 samples were collected from six (6) channels through the massive sulphide horizon, traceable over an 80 metres strike length. Best results returned 24.1% zinc over 3.0 metres, including 32.5% zinc over 2.0 metres. On the second trench, located to the southwest and along strike of the Lafontaine old working, a total of 14 samples were collected from three (3) channels through the massive sulphide horizon. Best results returned 21.0% zinc over 2.0 metres. Overall, a total of twelve (12) intervals ranging from 0.45 to 0.80 metre long have returned assays over 30% zinc, including a value as high as 43.13% zinc.
