Vancouver, B.C., December 10, 2018: Slave Lake Zinc Corp. (CSE:SLZ) (“Slave Lake” or the “Company”) We are excited to start geophysical surveys at our O’Connor Lake, NWT lead zinc property. The Company has commissioned Aurora Geosciences of Yellowknife, under the direction of Mr. Gary Vivian, to conduct a two-stage program designed to enhance our knowledge of the mineralization located at the O’Connor Lake zinc, lead property. This program is designed to advance our desire to drill test this exceptional opportunity.
The initial stage will establish the geophysical signature of our mineralization by running several different styles of geophysical survey, over the known mineralization, specifically, proximal to the head frame, built over the historic shaft and drifts constructed by the original operators in 1952. Using the results of the test work as a guide, second stage surveys will be conducted over the historic known mineralization and the newly discovered high-grade showings, several hundreds of meters to the south east of the head frame.
The objective of the second phase will be to outline the size and scope of the drill program needed to properly explore this large, and extensively mineralized corridor.
It is very exciting to be able to give our mineralization a signature, and then be able to use the knowledge of that signature, to outline the potential of areas not previously explored. It must also be noted that the only geophysics ever carried out on this property was the magnetic survey by Slave Lake Zinc for the compilation of the 43-101 that we have filed on Sedar.
Technical information in this news release has been approved by Glen Macdonald, P.Geo, a ‘Qualified Person’ as defined under Canadian National Instrument 43-101.
About Slave Lake Zinc
Slave Lake Zinc Corp. intends to develop the potential of its O’Connor Lake property, an historic zinc lead copper property located in the North West Territories of Canada. The property is located south of Great Slave Lake and to the east of Osisko Metals’ Pine Point project. The property was initially developed after the Second World War and subsequently abandoned in 1952 when the prices of zinc and lead collapsed post war. Slave Lake Zinc Corp. believes that it is well positioned to advance this project and to expand significantly the historic potential of the property.
