Hole SJ17-90 intersected a volcanogenic massive sulphide zone beginning 40 metres below surface. Assays returned 6.2% zinc equivalent (4.4% zinc, 0.9% lead, 0.3% copper, and 17.5 g/t silver) over a 2.7 metre section. The intersection included 20.4% zinc over 0.5 metre. A second hole was drilled to reach this new horizon about 100 metres below the discovery hole, and assays are pending. Callinex president and CEO Max Porterfield said, "This new zone represents a compelling near surface exploration opportunity and also confirms that several EM conductors, previously assumed to be formational, will need to be drill tested.” Drilling continues at Superjack where six holes totaling 3,434 metres have been completed to date. Earlier drilling led to an inferred resource estimate of 3.2 million tonnes grading 4.6% zinc equivalent, containing 328 million lb. ZnEq. More information is posted at www.Callinex.ca.
