Boreal Metals Corp. reported assay results from the first four holes of a recently completed nine hole, 1,620.8 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Gumsberg project located in the prolific Bergslagen Mining District in southern Sweden In December 2018 and January 2019, Boreal completed nine diamond drill holes in the vicinity of the past producing Östra Silvberg Mine. Diamond drilling tested prospective stratigraphy east and west of a previously reported intercept from BM-17-005, which returned 10.94 metres of 16.97% zinc, 656.7 g/t silver, 8.52% lead and 0.76 g/t gold south of the main Östra Silvberg mine workings. Drill holes GUM-18-003 and GUM-18-004 were drilled to the east and west of the high grade mineralization identified by Boreal in BM-17-005, and both returned 11.0 metre high grade intercepts containing veinlet, disseminated, semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization. These intercepts are interpreted to be part of a steeply eastward plunging mineralized body that is spatially separated from the historically defined Östra Silvberg Mine footprint. Drill holes BOL-009, BM-17-005, GUM-18-003 and GUM-18-004 demonstrate over 130 metres of down plunge continuity. Cosmetically similar zones of disseminated, veinlet, and vein hosted semi-massive and massive sulphides were also cut in step-out holes GUM-18-006 and GUM-18-008, which were drilled below and to the east of the intercepts reported in BM-17-005, GUM-18-003 and GUM-18-004. Analytical results from holes GUM-18-006 and GUM-18-008 are expected in the coming weeks. Together, this group of six drill intercepts constitutes an expanding zone of newly recognized mineralization that remains open to the east and at depth.
