Fireweed Zinc Ltd. recently announced the results of a drillhole at its Macmillan Pass Project in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The drillhole intersected multiple zones of high-grade mineralization, including 118.0 m of 15.1% zinc, 2.8% lead, and 85.8 g/t silver, as well as 82.5 m of 11.9% zinc, 2.2% lead, and 81.2 g/t silver.
The drillhole was part of Fireweed’s ongoing exploration program at Macmillan Pass, which is focused on expanding the existing resource base and identifying new mineralization. The results of this drillhole are particularly encouraging, as they demonstrate the potential for multiple zones of high-grade mineralization in a single drillhole.
The Macmillan Pass Project is located in the Tintina Gold Belt, which is host to several world-class deposits, including the Pogo and Fort Knox gold mines. Fireweed’s exploration program is focused on the Macmillan Pass deposit, which is a zinc-lead-silver deposit. The deposit is located in a favorable geological setting, and is characterized by high-grade mineralization.
The results of this drillhole demonstrate the potential for multiple zones of high-grade mineralization in a single drillhole. This is an encouraging sign for Fireweed, as it suggests that the Macmillan Pass deposit may contain significant amounts of zinc, lead, and silver.
Fireweed is continuing to explore the Macmillan Pass deposit, and is optimistic about the potential for further discoveries. The company is also planning to conduct additional drilling in the area, in order to further expand the resource base and identify new mineralization.
Overall, the results of this drillhole are encouraging for Fireweed, and suggest that the Macmillan Pass deposit may contain significant amounts of zinc, lead, and silver. The company is continuing to explore the deposit, and is optimistic about the potential for further discoveries.
