Tom South Definitions Of Concentrations Of Zinc Continue
VANCOUVER - Fireweed Metals Corp. reported on six drill holes from Tom South and two drill holes from Jason Main as part of the 2024 drill campaign at its Macpass Project, Yukon, Canada.
Hole TS24-002 from 595.52 metres (m) downhole: 15.12 m (10 m true width) of 10.39% zinc (Zn), 18.10% lead (Pb), and 296.9 g/t silver (Ag), including 8.15 m (5.4 m true width) of 12.76% Zn, 22.44% Pb, and 361.4 g/t Ag in nearest to surface intercept at Tom South to date, demonstrating an increase in grade and thickness up-plunge of previous Tom South intercepts. Hole TS24-001 from 732.56 m downhole 18.15 m (11 m true width) of 9.02% Zn, 7.46% Pb, and 148.3 g/t Ag, including 8.32 m (5.0 m true width) of 16.18% Zn, 13.52% Pb, and 278.8 g/t Ag. Hole JS24-002 from 326 m downhole: 28.02 m (8.3 m true width) of 7.10% Zn, 1.41% Pb, and 5.6 g/t Ag, including 12.90 m (3.8 m true width) of 11.30% Zn, 2.74% Pb, and 10.3 g/t Ag.
Peter Hemstead, President and CEO, said, “The consistent high-grade intercepts at Tom South reinforce that the feeder zone in this area continues to define Tom as one of the most prolific known concentrations of zinc, lead, and silver in the Macpass District, with spectacular grades representing intersections comprised almost entirely of sphalerite and galena. TS24-002 represents the nearest-to-surface and highest-grade intercept at Tom South to date, with a broad distance of 200 metres remaining open for testing the up-dip projection of this high-grade mineralized panel towards previous historical drilling. The feeder style mineralization intersected at Tom South is one of several localized zones at Tom that have very high silver grades, further enhancing the overall commodity mix of this deposit.”
