Callinex Mines of Vancouver is one of several juniors hoping to restart mining in what was a very rich historic base metal camp. Callinex’s project – Nash Creek, 100 km northwest of Bathurst – is revealing some promising grades. Drill hole NC17-245 intersected 18.7 metres of 5.8%  zinc equivalent (4.6% zinc, 0.7% lead and 23.1 g/t silver), including a 5.0 metres grading 8.9% zinc equivalent (7.2% zinc, 1.2% lead and 31.4 g/t silver). This hole was drilled to test the theory that visual observations of historic cores missed mineralized sections. Callinex said that prior to 2017 less than 30% of the core drilled was sent to a laboratory for testing. Moreover, almost half the historic holes did not reach beyond 100 metres below surface. The Nash Creek deposit is located only 25 km by road from the Belledune smelter owned by Glencore. More drilling results are posted at www.Callinex.ca.
