District Reports on Soil Sampling Orientation Survey and Rock Sampling with Up to 22.9% Zinc At the Gruvberget Property
was implemented to evaluate two different analyses. A total of 37 soil samples were collected with a plastic shovel at a constant depth relative to the organic-soil interface around the B-horizon. The samples were analyzed by conventional (ICP-MS) and Ionic Leach (IL) analysis to determine which method is preferable before initiating a larger soil sampling program focused on and "down-ice" from our SkyTEM geophysical target zones and known mineral occurrences. Coincident multi-element anomalies for zinc, lead, copper, silver, and gold have been identified over and to the north of the Gruvberget North Zone. A detailed review of analysis by conventional (ICP-MS) versus Ionic Leach (IL) analyses has shown that the IL analysis is more effective at identifying polymetallic mineralization at depth in the bedrock than conventional analysis. A robust soil sampling program with IL analysis has been initiated at the Gruvberget Property over four target zones that will be reported before the end of 2022. Any soil anomalies identified during the current program that are coincident with existing geophysical anomalies and historical mineral occurrences will assist with drill target prioritization. Three rock grab samples from the Djurgruvan mineral occurrence returned 10.3 to 22.9% zinc. One rock grab sample from the Gruvberget South zone returned 13.1% zinc.
