As one of five near-term resource targets on the property, Caribou has consistently returned grades over 1,000 g/t Ag Eq and, more recently, has been recognized as a potential bulk tonnage target returning widths of mineralization up to 34.2 meters of potentially economic grades in a shallowly dipping configuration." Metallic Minerals President, Scott Petsel, stated, "The Caribou vein target in the Central Keno Area is a classic example of "Keno-style" high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn vein mineralization and shows excellent potential for resources of significant scale.
The Company has retained SGS Geological Services to complete the inaugural resource estimate and modelling work is underway.The southernmost drilling at the Caribou target, first drilled in 2021, continues to demonstrate strong potential for further extension with 1,310 g/t Ag Eq encountered over 0.5 m at a near-surface depth of 44 m in hole CH22-05.From 91.5 to 92.0 meters a 0.5 m interval contained 348 (g/t) silver equivalent ("AgEq") ( see Table 1, Footnote 1) and 125.2 to 125.7 m the hole intercepted 0.5 m of 1,201 g/t Ag Eq bounding a zone of 34.2 m grading 38 g/t Ag Eq. Hole CH22-01 intersected two separate higher grade vein intervals within a broad zone of bulk tonnage mineralization.Drilling at the Caribou target continues to successfully extend high-grade silver mineralization both down-dip and south along strike of the known extents of the Caribou structure with a total of 71 intercepts in 5,980 meters of drilling to date.This work was completed as part of a larger 3,265 m drill program focused on target extension drilling at our advanced-stage "resource-ready" targets (Caribou, Formo and Fox) in anticipation of an inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Keno Silver project in 2023.
A total of 642 meters (m) were drilled in six (6) holes at the Caribou target in the Central Keno area to test extensions of known high-grade and bulk-tonnage mineralization. (TSX.V:MMG) (OTCQB:MMNGF) ("Metallic Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce final results from the 2022 exploration program at its 100% owned high-grade Keno Silver project in the historic Keno Silver District of Yukon, Canada.
