BOREAL AWARDED EXPLORATION PERMIT EXTENSION FOR GUMSBERG
Vancouver, B.C., May 16, 2019. Boreal Metals Corp. (“Boreal” or the “Company”) (TSXV:BMX)
is pleased to announce that the Gumsberg No. 1 Exploration Permit has been extended an
additional four years to January 21, 2023. The Gumsberg No. 1 permit hosts the newly discovered
“South Zone” silver -zinc-lead mineralization at Östra Silvberg where Boreal intercepted 12.60
metres of 6.73% zinc, 18.53 g/t silver and 1.99% lead in 2018 and 10.94 metres of 17.00% zinc,
and 656.70 g/t silver with 8.52% lead and 0.8 g/t gold in 2017 (see Figure 1).
“The renewal of the exploration permit is a direct result of the drill testing, where a new high-
grade mineralized deposit has been discovered,” stated Patricio Varas, Chief Executive Officer.
“We look forward to further drill testing at Östra Silvberg to continue to expand the new
discovery, as well as future testing of other prospective targets on the property.”
The Gumsberg No. 1 permit has been valid for six years (Figure 1). According to the Swedish
Bergsstaten, exploration permits are subject to a sixth-year renewal where a sufficient volume of
mineralization must be defined and approved by the Swedish Bergsstaten. Upon approval by the
Bergsstaten, exploration permits can be extended or converted to exploitation licenses. In this
case, the exploration permit was granted an additional four-year extension as Boreal continues
to define and expand new zones of mineralization on the property.
Overview of the Gumsberg Project
The strategically situated Gumsberg project consists of seven distinct project target areas in the
Bergslagen Mining District of southern Sweden totaling over 18,300 hectares, where multiple
zones of VMS and related styles of mineralization have been identified. Precious and base metal
mineralization at Gumsberg was mined from the thirteenth century through the early nineteenth
century, with over 30 historic mines present on the property, most notably the Östra Silvberg
mine, which was the largest silver mine in Sweden between 1250 and 1590.
