Sphinx and SOQUEM Extend to 3,500 metres Their Drilling Campaign on the Calumet-Sud Zinc Project

04.02.2019  |  Accesswire

MONTRÉAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / February 4, 2019 / Sphinx Resources Ltd. ("Sphinx" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V: SFX) and its partner SOQUEM announce that they increased the 2,400 meters drilling campaign initially planned to more than 3,500 m as zinc mineralization was intersected in all drill holes. This drilling campaign began on January 4, 2019 and ended on January 28, 2019. These holes were drilled by Forage RJLL Drilling Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. A total of 29 holes were drilled on a zinciferous zone traced over 1,500m trenching and stripping (see August 30, 2018 press release). This campaign adds to the 1,525 m of drilling already done by the Sphinx-SOQUEM partners on the Calumet-Sud project.

The Calumet-Sud project is adjacent to the site of the former New Calumet mine that produced 3.8 million metric tonnes of ore at a grade of 5.8% Zn, 1.6% Pb, 65 g/t Ag et 0.4 g/t Au from 1944 to 1968 (reference: Annual report New Calumet Mine 1968).

The description and sampling of these holes is in progress. This work is done by the Explo-Logik Inc. technical staff from St-Hippolyte, Quebec. The core samples are sent to ALS laboratories in Val-d'Or in compliance with the procedures prescribed by National Instrument 43-101.
