About InZinc
InZinc is focused on growth in zinc through exploration and expansion of the advanced stage West Desert project (100%) in Utah and exploration of the early stage Indy project (100% option) in British Columbia. West Desert has a large underground resource open for expansion and has district scale exploration potential. A West Desert preliminary economic assessment completed in 2014 forecasted 1.6 billion pounds of zinc production over 15 years.  Byproducts would include copper, magnetite and indium, the latter being identified by the United States in 2017 as a critical mineral. 

Indy comprises near surface discoveries, large untested exploration targets and regional discovery potential. Both zinc projects are well located with easy access and existing infrastructure.
