Coral Zinc Project Initial Drilling Program

The drilling contractor has mobilized a lightweight, helicopter-portable drill rig to the property. The first and second drill sites have been prepared. Three holes at different azimuths and dips were drilled from site 1, and the drill has completed two holes at site 2. Drill hole information along with photographs are posted on the Minfocus website and will be updated on a regular basis. Minfocus has been granted a two-year Mines Act permit authorizing drilling at up to 10 drilling sites subject to a maximum area of disturbance.

The property has historic core drilling and trenching, intersecting mineralized breccias containing zinc and lead values of up to 7.8% zinc in carbonate rocks analogous to the Pine Point deposits, a low-iron Mississippi-Valley-Type geological environment. The primary drilling target is the large (600m x 300 m) zinc geochemical anomaly (15-50 times background zinc levels) with outcropping zinc mineralized brecciated dolostone at its edge. The target zinc anomaly is 100-150 metres from the historic drilling and trenching. For more details, see the Minfocus news release of October 19, 2015 and our website www.minfocus.com.
