Vendetta Mining Reports Drilling Results from Zone 5 at Pegmont Lead-Zinc Project

07.11.2017  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, November 7, 2017 - Vendetta Mining Corp. (TSXV: VTT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from Zone 5 drilling from the ongoing 2017 program at the Pegmont Lead-Zinc Project in Queensland, Australia.

Zone 5 Highlights:

PVRD070: 5.90 metres of 8.45% Pb+Zn (4.40% Pb, 4.05% Zn);

PVRD078: 4.77 metres of 11.03% Pb+Zn (3.86% Pb, 7.17% Zn);

PVRD080: 7.46 meters of 8.61% Pb+Zn (4.60% Pb, 4.01% Zn);

PVRD083: 4.85 metres of 8.59% Pb+Zn (1.08% Pb, 7.51% Zn); and

PVRD084: 3.85 metres of 9.76% Pb+Zn (2.63% Pb, 7.13% Zn);

A full summary of the sulphide lead-zinc results including estimated true widths are provided in Table 1, with the location of the holes is shown on the maps in Figures 1 and 2.

Michael Williams, Vendetta's President and CEO commented, "Drilling in Zone 5 in 2017 confirmed our thesis that the zinc grade increases towards the South-West and these results have solidified this with zinc grades consistently higher than lead. The exploration potential of a third lens has also been further enhanced with this drilling and we are excited about the prospects of continuing step out drilling in the South-West direction."

Zone 5

Two sections were drilled on Anticline B. The first included holes PVRD070, 076 and 080, these holes intersected multiple lenses in the anticline, PVRD070 and 076 intersected three mineralised horizons; the main lens B present throughout Pegmont, Lenses C and D. PVRD080 intersected Lens B and C. A fourth hole, PVRD078 drilled at this location to test the steep northern limb of Anticline B, intersecting Lens B.

The South-Western most section on Anticline B included holes PVRD083, 084 and 085. These holes intersected the main mineralised horizon, Lens B.

PVRD081, 097 and 090 were all targeting the high grade Syncline C, however in all cases the holes deviated into the attenuated southern limb, a known structural positon of thin and low grade host lithology.

PVRD082 also was targeting the Syncline C, however the hole deviated into the northern limb of Syncline C.

Regional Exploration Drilling

Two reverse circulation holes PVR096 and 097 were drilled in preparation of drilling at the copper-gold target. These holes tested the strike and dip of an interpreted late fault 2 km south Pegmont that may define a boundary between lead-zinc and copper-gold systems. The holes intersected the fault, providing information on its strike and dip.

Update on Pegmont Resource Development Drilling

To date, a total of 93 drill holes have been completed during the 2017 program, for a total of 19,065 m.

Including completed drill holes discussed in this release, the Company has announced the results from 44 drill holes, see also news releases dated 25th July 2017 (VTT2017 NR #7), 24th August 2017 (VTT2017 NR #9) and 19th September 2017 (VTT2017 NR #10).

Processing, logging, sampling and assaying of the core not released to date is ongoing. Results will be released as they become available.

Drilling continues, the drill rig is currently drilling the first hole on the copper-gold target exploration program, a four hole program for a planned total of 1,400 m.

Notes on Zone 5 Drilling and Assay QA/QC

The drilling at Zone 2 and 3 involved drilling RC pre-collars using a 5.75 inch diameter face sampling bit to depth prior to casing and continuing the hole in HQ2 diamond core. Diamond core samples were taken on nominal 1 m lengths but varied to match geological contacts. Samples of the core are obtained using a diamond saw to half cut the core, if the hole is to be included in metallurgical test work it is then halved again. This is performed to provide sufficient sample for metallurgical test work while retaining a permanent core record.

Diamond core samples were taken on nominal 1 m lengths, with a diamond saw being used to half core and then quarter the core. Quarter core samples are dispatched for analysis, so as to provide sufficient sample for metallurgical test work while retaining a permanent core record.

Field duplicate samples were taken and blanks and commercially prepared certified reference materials (standards) were added into the sample sequence for every hole submitted. These were analysed by the Company and no issues were noted with analytical accuracy or precision.

Samples used for the results described herein were prepared and analysed at ALS Laboratory Group in Townsville, Queensland. Analysis was undertaken using a four acid digest and ICP (ALS method: ME-ICP61 for 7 elements) with over limit (>10,000 ppm lead and zinc and >100 ppm silver) high grade samples being read with an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS), (ALS methods: Pb-OG62, Zn-OG62 and Ag-OG62).

Drill hole collars of holes discussed in this release have been surveyed by a licensed surveyor. Down hole surveys were undertaken using a true north seeking gyroscope with stations nominally every 6 m.

All HQ2 diamond core is orientated using digital core orientation systems, this data is incorporated into the 3D interpretations. Assay intervals shown in Table 1 are down hole intervals, and the true thickness noted are based on 3D interpretations of the host lithology, structure, and mineralization.

About The Pegmont Lead Zinc Project

Pegmont is a stratiform, Broken Hill-Type deposit that outcrops with an overall shallow dip to the south east and is hosted in a magnetite-rich banded iron formation within high grade metamorphic rocks. The project consists of three granted mining leases and two exploration permits that cover an area of approximately 3,468 ha.

Pegmont is situated in the Mount Isa — McArthur Mineral Province, which hosts one of the world's richest endowments of lead-zinc-silver mineralization, including several world-class lead-zinc-silver mines.

Pegmont is located 25 km west of South 32's Cannington silver-lead-zinc operation, one of the world's largest producers of lead and silver and 28 km north of Chinova Resources' Osborne copper-gold operations. Pegmont is proximal to existing infrastructure including public roads, mine haul roads, rail, and a natural gas pipe line for power generation.

In June 2017 Vendetta updated the Mineral Resource estimate for Pegmont, for details please see Vendetta's news release, VTT2017-NR#6, June 27th, 2017 and the NI 43-101 technical report "Pegmont Resource Update June 2017" available on SEDAR. Drilling conducted during the 2017 program is not included in the June Mineral Resource.
