Coral Zinc Project – 2017 Plans for Air/Ground Geophysics and Further Drilling Program
The Company intends to undertake a drilling program this summer on its CORAL Project in east
central British Columbia to follow up on the 2016 exploration result s targeting zinc and lead
mineralization in a low -iron Mississippi -Valley-Type carbonate rock geological environment
analogous to that hosting the Pine Point deposits. The property has historic core drilling and
trenching intersecting mineralized breccias containing zinc and lead values of up t o 7.8% zinc.
Minfocus has a current Mines Act Permit authorizing drilling at up to 6 drilling sites in 2017. The
primary drilling target is the source of the large (600m x 300m) zinc geochemical anomaly (15 -50
times background zinc levels) with outcropping zinc mineralized brecciated dolostone at its edge. In
addition to drilling, Minfocus intends to undertake air and ground geophysical work and a LiDAR
survey to enhance selection of drill targets during the 2017 program. For more details, see the
