MURCHISON ACQUIRES 56 KM2 OF NEW CLAIMS HOSTING 12 EM CONDUCTORS
AT BRABANT LAKE, SASKATCHEWAN
December 9, 2019 (Toronto, Ontario): Murchison Minerals Ltd. (“Murchison” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MUR) is
pleased to announce it has acquired an additional 5,601 hectares (56.01 km2) of mineral claims (M Claim Block)
located east of the existing Brabant Lake project in northern Saskatchewan (see Figure 1).
The M Claim Block covers twelve electromagnetic (“EM”) conductors previously identified in an historic airborne
geophysical survey completed in 1968 . Figure 2 identifies these conductor traces which are presented over a
regional airborne magnetic image, highlighting that some occurrences are coinciden t with magnetic hig h
features, a criterion derived from the geophysical signature of the Brabant -McKenzie VMS deposit. The 1968
survey detected the Brabant-McKenzie deposit conductor as well as numerous other conductors detected by the
modern VTEM airborne EM and magnetic surveys completed over the Brabant Lake project. This historical survey
has also detected other EM conductors on lands already controlled by Murchison that do not have modern
airborne EM coverage.
The area , including the M Claim Block, is dominantly underlain by garnetiferous biotite gneisses and highly -
metamorphosed mafic volcanic rocks similar to those at the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit.
