Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (" Finlay " or the " Company ") announces that the 2021 exploration field program will commence immediately on the newly discovered Equity East anomaly on its Silver Hope Property.
The focus of the field program will be on the newly discovered Equity East Zone: a multi-element, 3 kilometer (km) long (and open-ended) soil anomaly, immediately down-ice from a 5km long ZTEM airborne geophysical anomaly.
This Equity East soil - ZTEM feature is parallel to the MAIN – Equity Silver Mine trend which is 5km to the west and which hosted the historical Equity Silver open pit and underground mines ( 32.63M tonnes milled which produced 71.36 million oz. of silver (Ag), 508,000 oz. of gold (Au), and 185.4 million lbs. of copper (Cu) * ), now owned by Newmont Corp, and Finlay's MAIN Trend mineralization. ( CLICK HERE to view the map of the area of work on the Silver Hope Property).
The primary focus at the Equity East will be a reconnaissance induced polarization (IP) ground geophysical survey (16 line-km) to determine if the mineralization of the soil anomaly is related to the ZTEM feature. The soil grid will be expanded, and a detailed program of geological mapping and prospecting will be conducted.
Exploration is targeting both structurally related replacement, Equity Silver type Ag-Au-Cu mineralization ( +100M oz. silver equivalent (AgEq), as well as Cu-Au-Mo-Ag porphyry intrusions) with the goal of generating drill targets.
