News Release
MURCHISON MINERALS AQUIRES ADDITIONAL GROUND
NEAR ITS BRABANT‐MCKENZIE PROPERTY
June 7, 2018 (Toronto, Ontario): Murchison Minerals Ltd. (“Murchison” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MUR) is
pleased to announce that it has acquired more ground near its Brabant‐McKenzie property (the “Property”)
by staking and is planning additional ground geophysics at the Property.
The Company continues to expand its regional review of mineralized showings on the Property and
surrounding area. The Company has recently staked an additional 1,301 hectares of ground adjacent to and
southeast of the current Property in order to cover prospective geology and reported mineralized showings
hosting anomalous copper and zinc values
New Claims
The Company staked claims numbered MC00011056 adjacent to the Property which covers previous work
outlined in Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (“SMDI”) 0429 assessment report (“SMDI 0429”). As noted
in the assessment report the area, “hosts a sulphide zone that was traced for a length of 2,000 ft (609.6 m)
over widths of up to 20 ft (6.1 m). Several trenches along the zone expose rusty weathered quartz‐feldspar‐
actinolite gneiss containing abundant pyrrhotite and graphite and a small amount of chalcopyrite. The
sulphide mineral content ranges from about 60% to over 90%. Within this zone a showing consisting of a
sulphide lens hosting pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor sphalerite and covering an area of 2 ft by 30 ft (0.6 x 9.1 m)
is noted. One sample of massive pyrrhotite from the showing gave 0.36% Cu.”
Other showings noted in SMDI 0429 and located within MC00011056 include:
“A 2,400 x 500 ft (731.5 x 152.4 m) northeast‐trending fine‐grained pyrrhotite zone containing low
(anomalous) copper and zinc values was identified on the east shore of Brabant Lake
A sulphide lens hosting pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor sphalerite and covering an area of 2 ft by 30 ft (0.6
x 9.1 m). One sample of massive pyrrhotite from the showing gave 0.36% Cu.
Several boulders 2 to 4 ft (0.6 to 1.2 m) in diameter at the south end of the zone, consisting of
essentially of massive pyrrhotite with abundant graphite and scattered irregular grains of
chalcopyrite.
[Trench no. 4] is approximately 1,400 ft (426.7 m) to the east of the Brabant Lake shore [ which]
exposed a 20 ft. (6.1 m) width of nearly massive sulphides pyrrhotite‐pyrite + minor chalcopyrite and
wurtzite (associated with pyrite and sphalerite) and graphite. Wurtzite and hydrozincate were noted
in association with pyrite but not with pyrrhotite. Several assays gave 0.25% Cu. Mineralized float
from the showing area assayed 0.24% Cu.”
The Company also staked claims numbered MC00011057 approximately 2.0 kilometres southeast of the
Property based on showings noted in SMDI 0436 assessment report. It notes the identification of “showings
that host chalcopyrite associated with pyrrhotite in schistose rocks. Chalcopyrite makes up a much higher

proportion of the sulphides than in other type of sulphide zones.” The Company does not know of any follow
up work that has been conducted on this showing since the initial discovery in 1969.
All mineralized values noted are historical only and have not been verified by Murchison.
Murchison is planning a regional summer prospecting, sampling and mapping program over the showings on
the newly staked ground, to further defined their potential as exploration targets as the Company works to
demonstrate the VMS potential of the area. The Company will also be conducting additional prospecting,
sampling and mapping over the TOM2, T2T, Priority 3 geophysical anomalies in order to further define these
anomalies as drill targets.
Priority 3 Geophysics Anomaly Update
The Company has submitted permits for a ground electromagnetic and magnetometer geophysical survey on
the Priority 3 VTEM airborne anomaly. Additionally, it has submitted bid tender requests to a number of
geophysical contractors. The Company expects to initiate this survey in early to mid‐July 2018.
Qualifying Statement
The foregoing scientific and technical disclosures have been reviewed and approved by Kent Pearson, P.
Geo., and Finley Bakker, P. Geo., who are qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43‐101. Mr.
Bakker is an independent consultant to Murchison and the Brabant‐McKenzie project. Mr. Pearson is
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
About the Brabant‐McKenzie Project
The Brabant‐McKenzie project is located 175 km Northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and approximately
3 km from the community of Brabant Lake. The area is accessed year‐round via Highway 102 and is serviced
by grid power. The project consists of one mining lease which hosts the Brabant‐McKenzie Deposit and an
additional 15 mineral claims totaling 7,031 hectares which cover approximately 18 kilometers of strike length
over favourable geological horizons, multiple known mineralized showings and identified geophysical
conductors.
The Brabant‐McKenzie Deposit hosts an indicated resource of resource 1.5 million tonnes grading 7.46% Zn,
0.70% Cu, 0.39% Pb, 31.16 g/t Ag, [10.09% Zn Eq] and an inferred resource of 4.5 million tonnes grading
5.99% Zn, 0.62% Cu, 0.39% Pb, 19.39 g/t Ag, [7.99% Zn Eq] as disclosed in the report dated November 25,
2017 and filed on SEDAR on March 13, 2018.
