InZinc Mining (TSXV: IZN) has initiated diamond drilling operations at its 100%-owned Indy Sedex zinc-lead-silver-barite project in central British Columbia. The 2025 program, comprising 12-15 drill holes, will focus on expanding the B-9 Zone, where previous drilling yielded impressive results of 10.0% zinc and lead and 16.2 g/t silver over 9.9m.

The B-9 Zone has shown mineralization in 13 of 15 drill holes across a 450m strike-length to 130m depth, remaining open in all directions. The program will also test the new Hilo Anomaly, located 400m east of B-9. The Indy project spans 200 square km with a 30km length of under-explored strata, featuring multiple unexplored targets identified through extensive airborne geophysics and soil sampling along an 11km corridor.

InZinc Mining (TSXV: IZN) ha avviato le operazioni di perforazione diamantata nel suo progetto Indy Sedex, interamente di proprietà, situato nella Columbia Britannica centrale. Il programma 2025, che prevede 12-15 fori di perforazione, si concentrerà sull'espansione della Zona B-9, dove perforazioni precedenti hanno riportato risultati notevoli di 10,0% di zinco e piombo e 16,2 g/t di argento su 9,9 m.

La Zona B-9 ha mostrato mineralizzazione in 13 su 15 fori di perforazione lungo una lunghezza di 450 m e fino a 130 m di profondità, rimanendo aperta in tutte le direzioni. Il programma testerà anche la nuova Anomalia Hilo, situata a 400 m a est della B-9. Il progetto Indy copre un'area di 200 km² con una lunghezza di 30 km di strati poco esplorati, caratterizzati da molteplici target inesplorati individuati tramite estensive indagini geofisiche aeree e campionamenti del suolo lungo un corridoio di 11 km.

Le programme testera également la nouvelle anomalie Hilo, située à 400 m à l'est de la B-9. Le projet Indy s'étend sur 200 km² avec une longueur de 30 km de strates peu explorées, présentant plusieurs cibles inexploitées identifiées grâce à une vaste géophysique aéroportée et des échantillonnages de sol le long d'un corridor de 11 km.

InZinc Mining (TSXV: IZN) hat mit Diamantbohrungen auf seinem zu 100 % im Besitz befindlichen Indy Sedex-Zink-Blei-Silber-Baryt-Projekt in Zentral-Britisch-Kolumbien begonnen. Das Programm 2025 umfasst 12-15 Bohrlöcher und konzentriert sich auf die Erweiterung der B-9 Zone, in der frühere Bohrungen beeindruckende Ergebnisse von 10,0 % Zink und Blei sowie 16,2 g/t Silber über 9,9 m erzielten.

Die B-9 Zone zeigte Mineralisierung in 13 von 15 Bohrlöchern über eine Streichlänge von 450 m bis zu einer Tiefe von 130 m und bleibt in alle Richtungen offen. Das Programm wird auch die neue Hilo-Anomalie testen, die 400 m östlich von B-9 liegt. Das Indy-Projekt erstreckt sich über 200 Quadratkilometer mit einer 30 km langen, wenig erforschten Gesteinsschicht und weist mehrere unerforschte Ziele auf, die durch umfangreiche luftgestützte Geophysik und Bodenproben entlang eines 11 km langen Korridors identifiziert wurden.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSXV: IZN) ("InZinc" or the "Company") is pleased to announce crew mobilization for diamond drilling at the Indy Sedex (zinc-lead-silver-barite) project (100% interest) located 90 km southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia, Canada. The 2025 drill program, including 12 to 15 drill holes, will focus on expansion of near surface mineralization at the B-9 Zone where previous drilling included an intercept of 10.0% (zinc and lead) and 16.2 g/t silver over 9.9 m, and drill testing of the new Hilo Anomaly located east of B-9 (see Figure 1). Drilling will commence on or around June 1st.

Focus on Expansion of B-9 Zone - Mineralization Remains Open in All Directions

  • B-9 Zone - Near surface mineralization (zinc-lead-silver) at B-9 Zone has been intersected in 13 of 15 drill holes over a 450 m strike-length to a depth of 130 m and remains open for expansion in all directions.
  • Hilo Anomaly - New Hilo anomaly, 450 m strike with strong zinc, lead and barium in soil, located 400 m east of the B-9 Zone supports the potential eastward extension of B-9 mineralization.
  • Anomaly B - Only 450 m of the 2.4 km long soil Anomaly B (zinc, lead, silver, barium) has been drill tested and is host to B-9 Zone mineralization.
  • Airborne EM Geophysics - Airborne EM geophysical surveys identify a strong conductive response over 1.4 km coinciding with the upper or eastern edge of the soil Anomaly B and with B-9 Zone mineralization.
  • Unexplored Targets - Additional large and unexplored targets are defined from 1100 line km of airborne geophysics, over 6000 soil samples and multiple years of detailed geology along a 11 km corridor known as the Main Trend.

Sedex District in Central BC

The extensive tenure at Indy covers 200 square km and a 30 km length of under-explored strata in central British Columbia. The Indy project is well located with respect to road, rail, power, port and smelter infrastructure.

The near surface zinc-lead-silver and barite mineralization discovered at Indy is typical of worldwide Sedex deposits and districts (USGS, 20161). These deposits often include significant silver and critical minerals as by-products.

About InZinc

InZinc is an active explorer at its Indy Sedex project (100%) in central British Columbia, Canada. The Company is exploring near surface zinc-lead-silver and barite mineralization discovered at Indy in a new, under-explored mineral region analogous to the prolific Selwyn Basin of northeastern BC and the Yukon. South32 Limited (ASX, LSE, JSE) became a major tenure holder in the Indy belt by staking approximately 200 km2 of adjacent claims in late 2021. Through its equity investment in American West Metals (ASX) and a 50% royalty interest (NSR) from any future production of indium mined at American West's West Desert project, InZinc is also exposed to a portfolio of North American base metals and precious metals projects.
