InZinc Commences Drill Program at West Desert Project
InZinc Commences Drill Program at West Desert Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 12, 2018 -- InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V:IZN) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it
has commenced diamond drilling at the Company’s 100% owned West Desert zinc-copper project in Utah. The large zinc
resources contained in the WD deposit and outlined in the 2014 Preliminary Economic Assessment remain open for
expansion in several directions. The Phase 1 program of approximately 3,500m will focus on exploration and expansion of the
WD deposit and the highly prospective area to the east.
Silver-Rich Zinc Potential
Wide spaced drilling will explore for silver-rich mineralization previously intersected in both the upper east portion of the WD
deposit (CC08-11 returned 7.4 oz/t Ag, 4.3% Zn over 10.8m at 200m below surface) and 650m east in historical drill hole CC-
43 (5.1 oz/t Ag and 6.8% Zn over 4.9m) which is located below the past-producing Utah silver mine (2.7M oz silver).
Copper-Rich Zinc Potential
The holes testing the silver-rich zinc potential are planned to extend at depth into an area of high grade copper-rich zinc
potential as intersected in historical hole CC-43 (7.6% Zn, 3.5% Cu and 1.0 oz/t Ag over 3.1m).
Higher Grade Zinc
An additional focus of the drill program is delineation of high grade zinc (C07-02 retuned 27.30% Zn over 17.37m) and
associated indium mineralization in the western portion of the WD deposit.
Drill Program at Indy Project
Permitting has been initiated for a diamond drilling program this summer at the Indy zinc project in BC.
About InZinc
InZinc is focused on growth in zinc through exploration and expansion of the advanced stage West Desert project (100%) in
Utah and exploration of the early stage Indy project (100% option) in British Columbia. West Desert has a large underground
resource open for expansion and has district scale exploration potential. A West Desert Preliminary Economic Assessment
completed in 2014 forecasted 1.6 billion pounds of zinc production over 15 years. Indy comprises both near surface exploration
targets and regional discovery potential. Both zinc projects are well located with easy access and existing infrastructure. The
Company is well financed to conduct 2018 exploration programs.
