Highlights:

Successful reconnaissance and initial sampling programme completed at McKellar and Enable projects.
Introductory meetings conducted with stakeholder First Nation communities.
Historical grades from McKellar show up to 4.73% copper, 32.3% zinc, and 678 g/t silver.
Historical workings from McKellar located and sampled, confirming previous high-grade results.
Sampling at Enable conducted along strike from previous high-grade zones, with results up to 7.04g/t and 5.25 g/t gold.
Will Slater, Chief Geologist of Seventy Ninth Resources, said:

“The reconnaissance programme at both McKellar and Enable has been very encouraging, identifying multiple promising areas of interest and follow-up targets at both projects. We have successfully defined key priority zones and put into place clear, next steps to advance both projects.

“At McKellar, sampling was focused around areas of historical small-scale mining where previous sampling returned grades of 32.3% zinc and 678g/t silver. The geological setting and historical sampling indicate that McKellar is prospective for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) style base metal mineralisation.

“At Enable, a geological contact zone between granite and metavolcanics/metasediments was sampled along strike from previous areas, which returned grades including 7.04 g/t, 5.25 g/t and 2.04 g/t gold. The programme covered approximately 1 km of the 5 km long contact zone.”

Natalie Bellis, CEO of Seventy Ninth Resources, said:

“We are excited by our initial visit to Enable and McKellar projects and we look forward to receiving the assay results shortly. The visit to the area also gave us the opportunity to introduce the company to members of the First Nation communities who are key stakeholders on these projects. We look forward to developing these relationships into strong long-term partnerships as the projects become more advanced.”
