August 21, 2025 News Release 2025-05
InZinc Intersects 19.1 m grading 3.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag from 30 m downhole,
including 8.5% Zn, 2.1% Pb and 21.3 g/t Ag over 2.0 m –
Further Expanding Shallow Mineralization at Indy Sedex Project, Central BC
Vancouver, BC – InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: IZN) (“InZinc” or the “Company”) is pleased to report an additional
four drill holes from 2025 exploration diamond drilling at its 100% owned Indy Sedex (zinc-lead-silver-barite) project,
located 90 km southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia, Canada. Results from these shallow drill
holes (four previously reported, total of 11 drilled), exploring the western expansion and southern extension of near
surface mineralization at the B-9 Zone, are summarized below. An additional three drill holes are pending results.
2025 Results – Highlights of B-9 Western Expansion Drilling (Table 1)
Drill Hole IB25-032 (Figure 1)
• Widest shallow intersection to date averaging 3.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag over 19.1 m
from 29.9 m downhole
• Includes high grade zone averaging 8.5% Zn, 2.1% Pb and 21.3 g/t Ag over 2.0 m from 31.0 m
downhole
• Intersection is located 30 m up-dip (west) of 2018 massive sulphide discovery (IB18-009, previously
released) averaging 8.0% Zn, 2.0% Pb, and 16.2 g/t Ag over 9.9 m from 78.1 m downhole
• Results from a hole testing the down-dip projection are pending
B-9 Zone – Near Surface Trend Extension to 700 m (Figure 2)
• Four shallow drill holes IB25-030, IB25-031, IB25-032 and IB25-033 encountered mineralization at
the principal horizon, expanding the western mineralization and increasing the B-9 trend to greater
than 700 m in length
• Remains open for further exploration at depth and along trend

vary with further revisions from additional drilling. NCV: Mineralization is present at levels lower or below current length-weighted grade

Hole IB25-032 Drill Hole Plan and Vertical Cross Section
Massive and Semi-Massive Sulphides in Two Areas
Drilling to date has discovered two shallow massive sulphide (high-grade) areas, 250 m apart, within a broader
zone of the same stratigraphy but lesser grade mineralization. Both the southern and northern areas of massive
sulphides remain open for expansion.
In the southern area, drill hole IB25-032 successfully targeted the near surface, western projection of massive
sulphides discovered in 2018 drilling (hole IB18-009) and returned the thickest intercept of mineralization to-date,
averaging 3.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb and 7.4 g/t Ag over 19.1 m from 29.9 m downhole. This includes a high-grade
interval averaging 8.5% Zn, 2.1% Pb and 21.3 g/t Ag over 2.0 m (from 31.0 m downhole). This wide intersection
is located 30 m up-dip (west) of the 2018 discovery hole (hole IB18-009, previously released) averaging 8.0% Zn,
2.0% Pb, and 16.2 g/t Ag over 9.9 m from 78.1 m downhole. Drill hole IB25-038, testing the down-dip (depth)
projection of the intersection in IB18-009, is pending results.

In the northern area, the Company also recently reported (see NR2025-04) a new shallow massive sulphide
intersection. Drill hole IB25-029 (11.0% Zn, 2.3% Pb and 27.1 g/t Ag over 3.0 m from 61.0 m downhole, previously
released) successfully extended a shallow massive sulphide zone discovered 80 m south in 2018 (Hole IB18-003:
9.3% Zn, 2.4% Pb, 18.0 g/t Ag over 3.1 m from 25.0 m downhole, previously released). Untested soil geochemical
and EM geophysical anomalies continue along strike for at least 750 m north of drilling to date, indicating the
potential to further expand the mineralization to the north.

B-9 Mineralized Zone Extended Up-dip (West) and Along Strike (North and South) – Now Traced for 700 m
and Remains Open
Four shallow drill holes IB25-030, IB25-031, IB25-032 and IB25-033 encountered mineralization at the principal
horizon, successfully expanding the up-dip (western) projection of the B-9 Zone. Including recently announced
extensions to the north (see NR2025-04), the B-9 mineralized trend has been extended to over 700 m in length and
remains open for further exploration along trend and at depth
Sedex District in Central BC
The extensive tenure at Indy covers 200 square km and a 30 km length of under-explored strata in central British
Columbia. The Indy project is well located with respect to road, rail, power, port and smelter infrastructure.
The near surface mineralization (zinc-lead-silver and barite) discovered across the 7.5 km Main Trend at Indy
(Figure 3) is typical of worldwide Sedex deposits and districts. These deposits often include significant silver and
critical minerals as by-products.

InZinc is an active explorer at its Indy Sedex project (100%) in central British Columbia, Canada. The Company is
exploring near surface zinc-lead-silver and barite mineralization discovered at Indy in a new, under-explored mineral
region analogous to the prolific Selwyn Basin of northeastern BC and the Yukon. South32 Limited (ASX, LSE, JSE)
became a major tenure holder in the Indy belt by staking approximately 200 km2 of adjacent claims in late 2021.
Through its equity investment in American West Metals (ASX) and a 50% royalty interest (NSR) from any future
production of indium mined at American West’s West Desert project, InZinc is also exposed to a portfolio of North
American base metals and precious metals projects.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
HQ size drill core was collected from the drill site and delivered to the Indy Camp by InZinc staff. The core was logged, sample
intervals were outlined and photographic records were collected. Core samples were split using a diamond saw or manually
chipped at the camp with one-half of the core submitted for assay and the remainder stored in wooden core boxes. The core
was bagged in individually marked plastic sample bags and shipments were compiled in labelled rice bags. Core shipments
were delivered by InZinc contract geologists to Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd. in Prince George, B.C. for furtherance to
MSA Labs in Langley, B.C., Canada for analysis. Samples were prepared by MSA and analyzed by ICP-AES multi-element plus
4-Acid Digestion and select AAS-Fire Assay. In addition to the labs QA/QC procedures, InZinc inserted blind standards, blanks
or lab-directed duplicates by special instruction - every tenth sample. The results from the QA/QC samples were within industry
norms.
