Finlay Minerals drills 76.57m @ 0.45% copper, 14.6g/t silver, and 0.14g/t gold  in the Gaul Zone on the Silver Hope Property

Finlay Minerals drills 76.57m @ 0.45% copper, 14.6g/t silver, and 0.14g/t gold in the Gaul Zone on the Silver Hope Property

 
 

Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (" Finlay " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce the results of its 1,968 metres (m), nine hole, oriented-core drill program completed in November, 2021 on its Silver Hope Property.  The Silver Hope property is located approximately 70 kilometres (km) southeast of Houston, BC and surrounds Newmont Corporation's former Equity Silver Mine.

 

Aimed at outlining shallow zones of open-pit copper-silver-gold (Cu-Ag-Au) mineralization, the program targeted Gaul, Superstition and Hope mineralized zones along with the Main Trend, which has the potential to host significant Cu-Ag-Au mineralization. The 2021 drill holes span a strike distance of over 1,750 m , within three distinct mineralized zones which are offset and truncated by cross-structures. Specifically, the Gaul Zone hosts significant copper with appreciable silver and gold grades that could be extracted by open pit methods. The Gaul Zone remains open along trend to the south, north, and at depth and has been drill tested for a strike length of 400m and a vertical depth of 100m . Within the Superstition and Hope Zones, the 2021 drilling intersected several narrower mineralized intervals.  However, historical drilling shows the potential for thicker mineralized intercepts at depth, suggesting that the northern zones may have formed higher up in the mineralizing system than in the Gaul. Potential remains to demonstrate continuity between the Superstition and Gaul Zones.

 

  Highlights:  

 
  • All nine holes intersected significant mineralization, however, three drill holes in the Gaul Zone of the Main Trend intersected shallow depth, Cu-Ag-Au mineralization, across appreciable widths, which correlates well with previous Finlay drilling.

  •  
  •   SH21-09 intersected   76.57m   (from 80.23m ) grading 0.45% Cu, 14.6g/t Ag, and 0.14g/t Au (0.68% Copper Equivalent (CuEq* ), including   32.07m   (from 123.00m ) grading 0.86% Cu, 26.1g/t Ag, and 0.21g/t Au (1.21% CuEq*) . (    CLICK HERE    to view the cross section of SH21-09).

  •  
  •   SH21-08 intersected   133.00m   (from 32.00m ) grading 0.30% Cu, 7.6g/t Ag, and 0.03g/t Au (0.41% Cu Eq*) , including   57.23m   (from 107.00m ) grading 0.51% Cu, 13.8g/t Ag, and 0.06g/t Au (0.71% CuEq*) .

  •  
  • The Hope Zone drilling (3 holes) intersected multiple shallow high-grade Cu-Ag-Au intervals including SH21-01 which intersected   0.70m   (from 90.00m ) grading 1.14% Cu, 626.0 g/t Ag and 0.09 g/t Au (6.51% CuEq*) .

  •  
  • The Superstition Zone drilling (3 holes) intersected multiple shallow high-grade Cu-Ag-Au intervals including SH21-04 which intersected   0.43m   (from 88.17m ) grading 0.32% Cu, 62.8 g/t Ag and 0.21 g/t Au (1.03% CuEq*) .

  •  
  • Planning is currently underway for a 2022 drill program on the Equity East, Allin and Gaul Zones.

  Notes to 2021 Drill Results Table:  

 
  1. The Metal prices used in the CuEq and AgEq calculations are as follows: Gold $1750 /oz, Silver $23.00 /oz, Copper $4.20 /lb, Lead $0.90 /lb and Zinc $1.30 /lb;

  2.  
  3. The CuEq formula used for calculations is: CuEq % = (Cu % + (Au g/t * $56.2625 ) + (Ag g/t * $0.8038 ) + (Pb % * 19.8414) + (Zn % * $28.6598 ))/ 92.5923;

  4.  
  5. The AgEq formula used for calculations is: AgEq g/t = (Ag g/t + (Au g/t * $56.2625 ) + (Cu % * $92.5932 ) + (Pb % * 19.8414) + (Zn % * 28.6598))/0.80375;

  6.  
  7. True widths of the mineralized zones are approximately 80% of the reported intercepts;

  8.  
  9. Recoveries are assumed to be 100% for the purposes of equivalent calculations.

  Mineralization & Lithology:  

 

Mineralization in the Silver Hope's Main Horizon is considered to represent a mesothermal vein deposit of the "Equity Silver" type, to which it lies along strike. Metals are hosted in various sulphide and sulphosalt minerals which occur as breccias structures, shear veins, and as fine fracture-fill and vein stockworks within volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy of the Cretaceous Skeena Group. Mineralization occurs preferentially within fine-grained tuffaceous units, which appear to be more susceptible to fracturing. The tuffaceous beds dip roughly 25 – 30° to the west within the Gaul Zone but dip more steeply to northern Hope and Superstition Zones. High-grade mineralization is typically semi-massive sulphide brecciation (pyrite - chalcopyrite - tetrahedrite ± -galena ± -sphalerite) that often occurs at sheared margins of later feldspar porphyry and mafic dikes that dip moderately (50- – 70° degrees) to the north-northwest. Brecciation character ranges from sulphide infill of angular quartz vein fragments to strongly foliated internal brecciation of various sulphide phases. Veining and fractures increase closer to the dike contacts and in areas when dikes are closer to each other. Throughout the Main Horizon, veins are typically sulphide-dominant, though quartz ± carbonate – sulphide veins do occur. Veins and sulphide-filled fractures are typically mm- to cm-scale with the occasional massive sulphide veins sometimes with quartz up to 1.5 m wide.

 

To gain a better understanding of the Main Trend mineralization within the Gaul, Superstition and Hope Zones, select mineralized vein and fracture samples have been sent to Ultra Petrography and Geoscience Inc. for petrographic work. The petrographic work will help in understanding the mineralization present and characteristics which could aid in further exploration and metallurgical studies.

 

In addition, metallurgical studies on the existing drill core from the Gaul Zone using a test flotation circuit will be undertaken in order to gauge the recoveries of the Cu, Ag, Au, Pb and Zn mineralization in a Cu concentrate.  Understanding the preliminary metallurgical characteristics of the Gaul Zone will help the Company determine the path to advancement of the Silver Hope property.

 

  QA and QC:  

 

All drill core assay results have been monitored through a quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) program.

 

The drill core was sawn in half at Finlay Mineral's on-site core logging and processing facility. Half the core was sampled and shipped in sealed and secure bags to the ALS Global laboratory in North Vancouver, BC . Drill core samples were crushed to 70% less than 2mm, rotary split off 250g, and pulverised split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Drill core samples were analyzed for 33 elements by four acid digestion (HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach) and ICP-AES on a 0.25 gram sample (method ME-ICP61). Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30 gram sample with an AAS finish (method Au-AA23). Over limit silver assays > 100 ppm were re-analyzed by fire assay using a gravimetric finish on a 30 gram sample. Over limit copper, lead and zinc were re-analyzed by four acid digestion and an ICP finish on a 0.4 gram sample.

 

In addition to the ALS Global laboratory QA/QC protocols, Finlay Minerals implements an internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of duplicates, standards and blanks into the drill core sample stream accounting for 8% of the total samples in the 2021 drill core.
