News Release
MURCHISON IDENTIFIES STRONG EM CONDUCTORS NEAR THE MURTACK MINERAL
SHOWING, BRABANT LAKE, SK.
April 2, 2019 (Toronto, Ontario): Murchison Minerals Ltd. (“Murchison” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MUR) is pleased to
announce that it has identified new EM targets approximately 400 metres from the Murtack showing where historical grab
sampling reported significant grades of zinc, copper, molybdenum, lead, silver and minor gold.
The Murtack showing was acquired as part of the significant land holdings expansion at and around the Brabant Lake project
in north-central Saskatchewan over the last four months. It is located approximately 14.4 kilometres southwest of Brabant
Village.
M. Murtack first prospected the area in 1965 when the mineralized showing was discovered (AF 74F01-0004). Sand blasting
of gossan-covered outcrops and the digging of a test pit expose d a shear zone containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena ,
and graphite mineralization. A geological survey, some soil sampling and six diamond drill holes totaling 460 metres were
completed in the area. The main occurrence is one of four gossan zones extending over a strike length of 1006 metres.
Sulphides zones vary from 1.5 to 14.0 metre wide.
Ten grab samples collected at that time returned trace to 0.54% Cu, 0.25 to 1.55% Zn, trace to 0.11% Pb, 0.02 to 0.36% MoS2,
0.17 to 1.4 g/t Au and 0.34 to 34.4 g/t Ag. Grab sample No. 3 returned trace Cu, 6.6% Zn, 36.11% Pb, 0.5% MoS 2, 1.4 g/t Au
and 160 g/t Ag. A selected grab sample taken by W.G.Q. Johnston in 1965 containing a high percentage of sulphides assayed
0.13% Cu and 40.8% soluble Fe. (Source: Johnston, W.G.Q., (1968) DMR Report No. 106, p45)
The area remained inactive until 1973, at which time, electroma gnetic and magnetic surveys were completed over the gossan
zones. The magnetic survey delineated a narrow conductive ho rizon with pyrite-pyrrhotite-graphite mineralization, which
corresponds to the showing. No further work was re ported since 1975 until Murchison stak ed the area in December 2018 and
subjected it to a VTEM heliborne survey completed by Geotech in January 2019.
This recent heliborne VTEM survey confirmed that both gossan #1 and #4 are coincident with a northwest dipping conductor.
Conservatively, the strike length could be in excess of 1,000 me tres. If it is related to the southwest extent on L3160 (last line
of VTEM survey), a strike length in excess of 1,900 metres is possible and it is unbounded to the southwest. Several additional
subparallel strong EM conductors located approximately 40 0 metres to the southeast of the Murtack gossan conductor were
identified in this survey. Field prospecting and mapping is scheduled to take place this summer.
About the Brabant-McKenzie Project:
The Brabant-McKenzie project is located 175 kilometres northeast of La Ronge, Saskat chewan and approximately 3
kilometres from the community of Brabant Lake. The area is accessed year-r ound via provincial Highway 102 and is serviced
by grid power. The project consists of one mining lease, which hosts the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit, and additional
mineral claims totalling 324 km 2, which cover approximately 38 kilometres of strike length over favourable geological
horizons, multiple known mineralized showings and identified geophysical conductors.
This press release was reviewed by Martin St. Pierre, P.Geo. acting as Murchison’ qualified person under National Instrument
43-101.
