Kyba Hits the Red-LINE Trail at Metallis’ Kirkham Property
KYBA HITS THE RED-LINE TRAIL AT METALLIS’ KIRKHAM PROPERTY
June 8, 2018
Vancouver, BC: Metallis Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MTS) (“Metallis” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce the launch of its Phase 1 2018 exploration program at its 100% owned Kirkham
Property, prospective for multiple deposit types in the heart of Northwest British Columbia‟s prolific
Eskay Camp.
The Phase 1 program will focus intensely on the central and southern Kirkham area blocks which
are situated at lower elevations with more moderate weather, enabling early-season work.
Jeff Kyba, former Regional Geologist for the B.C. Ministry of Energy & Mines, is part of Metallis‟
highly experienced exploration team for this first phase of an extensive 2018 program, the most
comprehensive in the Company‟s history. Mr. Kyba has been tasked with pinning down the Red-
Line and evaluating the numerous base and precious metal targets that occur in close proximity.
The program was put together with support from Dr. Peter Lightfoot, one of the Company‟s
Technical Advisers.
Fiore Aliperti, Metallis President and CEO, commented: “Jeff Kyba putting boots on the ground is
incredibly exciting for the entire Metallis team. His experience as a district geologist who co -
authored the „Red -Line‟ doctrine will be invaluable as we pursue new surface discoveries and
prioritize drill targets for this summer and fall after a highly successful 2017 campaign.”
Notably, while the central and southern blocks of Kirkham are well known for their high-grade gold
and copper-gold porphyry potential, a detailed review of historical data for these areas has
revealed silt and heavy mineral samples with high nickel values in addition to occurrences of
gabbro. Numerous mafic and ultramafic intrusive bodies have also been ide ntified within the
central and southern part of the property and will be investigated for their nickel-copper potential.
Aliperti added, “For all its great discoveries, the Eskay Camp is still remarkably under -explored.
2018 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting exploration years in this district, and we expect
the Kirkham Property to play a prominent role.”
