Fireweed Zinc (FWZ) has started the 2021 drill program at its Macmillan Pass Project.
The zinc-lead-silver project is located in Yukon Territory.
Two diamond drill rigs have commenced drilling and will focus on the Boundary Zone and follow-up drill testing of last season’s Boundary West discovery.
Holes at Tom East and Jason South will include step-outs from current mineral resources and will allow deployment of detectors for borehole muon tomography surveys in locations with favourable ground conditions.
Zinc-lead-silver mineralization in the Boundary Zone area occurs in several styles, including: high-grade stratiform barite-replacement similar in style to mineralization seen at Tom and Jason.
The district-scale 940-square-kilometre project is host to the 100-per-cent owned Tom and Jason zinc-lead-silver deposits with current Mineral Resources and a PEA economic study.
“We are excited to get drills turning again at Boundary Zone and especially at the new Boundary West discovery from late last season. This drill program will allow us to both further test the extent of the main zones of mineralization as well as explore the potential of new targets. The planned drilling will allow us to prove up our new discovery and step-out on known zones which still remain open for expansion,” said Fireweed Zinc CEO Brandon Macdonald.
Fireweed Zinc is unchanged, trading at C$0.75 at 1:19 pm ET.
