CMC Metals Ltd. Encounters Substantial Anomalous Silver in Soil Samples at Silver Hart

(TheNewswire)

August 5, 2020 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, BC - CMC Metals Ltd. - (“the Company”) (TSXV:CMB) (OTC:CMCXF) is pleased to announce substantial assay results from recent soil sampling in a new zone tested towards the southern end of the property that may represent an extension of the Main Zone at the Company’s 100% owned Silver Hart Project in Yukon, Canada.

Soil geochemical surveys were conducted immediately south (see Figure 1) of the Main Zone following up on historic VLF-EM conductors that were never completely sampled. Some work had been completed in the area during early exploration efforts in 1985-1987 but has not been examined using modern exploration techniques since that time.

Key highlights from recent soil sampling in this area are as follows:

- From a total of 114 samples, 38 were anomalous in silver with 5 samples in excess of 3,000 ppb ranging up to 13,587 ppb, 22 in excess of 1,000 to 2,999 ppb ranging from 1045 to 2474 ppb and 11 in excess of 500 to 999 ppb

- In most instances the anomalous silver results were coincident with anomalous values of zinc and lead. From the 114 samples, 50 samples were anomalous in zinc with the highest value of 4,036 ppm, and 24 samples were anomalous in lead with a highest value of 552.94 ppm

(Note: anomalous levels were considered to be assays from soils collected with greater or equal to 500ppb silver, 200 ppm zinc and 50 ppm lead).

The encouraging aspect of the results is the areal extent of the anomalous soils covering an area 750 meters in length and approximately 200 meters in width. The zone remains open in all directions and sampling is planned to test possible extensions of this area. Also, this anomalous area is following the strike trend of the Main Zone and may therefore be a possible extension of known vein systems.

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO of the Company noted, “To my knowledge these are the best soil results ever achieved at Silver Hart in over 35 years of exploration. We are very encouraged with our efforts this season because every time we have extended our exploration extent around the Main Zone we have identified anomalous areas. The results also show an increasing number of anomalous zinc values which we would expect in lower elevations and deeper in the system. This reflects the common zonality of these high-grade silver and carbonate replacement systems with lead concentration typically higher in the upper parts and zinc increasing at depth. These positive results attained during this season to date are leading us to believe that Silver Hart could have a much greater lateral and strike extent than previously outlined.”

John Bossio, Chairman of the Company noted, “Our crews are now working to identify mineralization in these areas through trenching and modern ground geophysics to further prove the merit of these anomalies that have been identified by recent geochemical sampling and historic geophysical surveys. We expect our continued exploration will serve to significantly increase the overall potential of both the Silver Hart and the neighboring Blue Heaven property that we optioned earlier this summer from Strategic Metals Ltd. The current results point to a much larger exploration footprint that we expect to result in numerous drill targets for the 2021 season.”
