InZinc Mining Ltd. reported additional barite intersections from 2022 core samples at the Keel discovery, located at the Indy project (100% interest) ("Indy" or the "Project") 90 kilometres southeast of Prince George in central BC, Canada. In the interim, planning is underway for a fully-funded Phase 1 exploration program to be announced shortly. Highlights from Keel include: Four, wide barite horizons comprising 117 m of the 224 m long drill hole IB22-020, and containing multiple high-grade intervals including 67.4% barite over 0.35 m, 30.1% barite over 1.0 m and 20.9% barite over 3.0 m. Elevated zinc-lead with barite mineralization at Keel West indicating a "black smokers" type vent, known to produce the large sulphide rich (zinc-lead-silver) deposits in global Sedex districts.

The widespread distribution of mineralization at Indy includes a growing list of features common to prolific Sedex districts including: Extensive barite mineralization (700 m strike) at Keel with local enrichment in zinc-lead sulphides (5727 ppm zinc,1015 ppm lead over 0.6 m and 3782 ppm zinc, 1859 ppm lead over 1.0 m) at Keel West. Additional widespread barite mineralization (up to 25% barite in rock samples) with zinc-lead enrichment occurring over a 1.3 km trend at Delta, located 1 km northwest of Keel.

Sedex-style (zinc-lead-silver) at the B-9 sulphide zone located 4 km south of Keel. At Indy, the discovery of abundant barite, with zinc-lead enrichment, provides an important exploration vector and will enhance exploration targeting for these deposits. Sedex deposits are the world's most prolific sources of zinc and associated metals.

Sedex deposits form around ocean-floor hydrothermal vents producing both sulphide (metals) and barite mineralized "horizons" on the sea floor basin. Where preserved, these horizons are overlain by sediments (black shale) in geologic settings known as "shale basins". Barite mineralization at Keel occurs in several forms including beds, veins, fine laminae with pyrite, fine disseminations in grey shale (baritic shale) and as nodules.

Nodules of barite are described as useful tools (D.G. MacIntyre - B.C. Geologic Survey, 1998) for delineating favourable stratigraphy for barite-sulphide deposits at the Cirque (40 Mt at 7.8% zinc, 2.2% lead and 48 g/t silver) and Akie Sedex deposits, located in the Kechika district of the southern Selwyn Basin, some 500 km to the north of Indy. Hole IB22-020 intersected four barite mineralized horizons. The four horizons, in aggregate, comprise 117 m of the 224 m long drill hole and are potentially locally thickened by folding.

A wide, upper horizon grades 6.6% barite over 59.3 m and includes several high-grade barite intersections (30.1% barite over 1.0 m, 20.9% barite over 3.0 m and 67.4% barite over 0.35 m). Drill core from 58.0 m to 62.0 m returned elevated zinc (up to 1.23% zinc over 1.0 m) and lead (up to 9638 ppm lead over 1.0 m) with high grade barite (30.1% barite over 1.0 m). This shale-hosted mineralization is strongly oxidized and likely (originally) represents a "black smoker" type hydrothermal vent.

Three additional barite horizons, including two 24 m intervals, occur below and represent additional vent horizons. Keel West - Geology and Mineralization A three hole "fence" drilled along a 100 m strike at Keel West also returned abundant barite mineralization in four separate horizons. In the upper horizon, barite is present in pyritic shales and in all three drill holes barite increases toward the contact with the lower debris flow unit where elevated sulphide (zinc and lead) mineralization is also present.

The upper horizon mineralization and geological setting is consistent with a "black smoker" vent and defines a primary northwest exploration vector towards a potential Sedex deposit. Three deeper barite horizons, present in all three holes, correlate with horizons intersected at Keel central and Keel east and include up to 13% barite over 10.5 m (with 57.4% barite over 0.7 m) in hole IB22-016. Keel West Upper Horizon Hole IB22-021 intersected 4.0% barite over 11.8 m in the black shale unit.

This includes a lower pyritic (2-10%) section containing 5.1% barite over 3.9 m which grades into baritic shale (10.5% barite over 0.85 m) at the contact with the lower debris flow breccia. Elevated zinc and lead occur in the same 3.9 m interval ranging from 1000 to 3008 ppm zinc and 368 to 597 ppm lead. Geology and mineralization in hole IB22-016 correlates well to hole IB22-021 (located 50 m south).

A 25.4 m section is enriched in barite (2.3% barite) within pyritic (5-10%) black shales. Similar to hole IB22-021, this includes, a lower section of pyritic (10%) shale with barite increasing to 4.4% over 2.2 m at the contact with the lower debris flow breccia. Hole IB22-022 is the northernmost hole at Keel West and is located 50 m north of hole IB22-016.

Within a 12.5 m interval (41.2 m to 53.7 m) across the pyritic black shale to debris flow contact, a 5.9 m section of black shale returned 3.9% barite increasing to 6.7% over 0.44 m above the contact. Additionally, several sections in the same 12.5 m interval, directly below the shale contact are enriched in both zinc and lead (5727 ppm zinc,1015 ppm lead over 0.6 m and 3782 ppm zinc, 1859 ppm lead over 1.0 m). The sulphide minerals sphalerite (zinc) and galena (lead) are also present within the debris flow breccias located directly below the black shale contact.
