InZinc Mining (TSX-V:IZN) has discovered strongly mineralised zones within 100m of surface at its Indy Sedex Project in British Columbia, Canada.
The spring drilling program at the B-9 Apex Zone returned 15m grading 7% zinc (Zn), 3.2% lead (Pb), and 17.5 grams per tonne silver (Ag) from 67.1m in hole IB26-051.
IB26-051 also includes a silver-rich zone of 3m grading 61.8g/t Ag, 10.7% Zn, 11.7% Pb, and 2.8g/t gallium.
The company completed seven holes totalling 1,437m, following up on its late 2025 Apex discovery. The program targeted an area 60m south of the original discovery, with four holes intersecting new shallow, stacked zones.
Two holes on 45m spacing encountered shallow mineralisation, while two ‘pivot’ holes cross-cut the mineralisation and confirmed continuity.
CEO Wayne Hubert says the results highlight ‘exploration success’ and potential for open pit resources to lead development.
“Today’s drill results highlight not only our exploration success but two additional advantages on the horizon at Indy — ongoing discovery potential and an opportunity for potential open pit resources to lead the way,” Hubert says.
The new discoveries extend the B-9 trend to over 1,000m strike length when combined with the B-9 Discovery Zone to the south.
All significant intersections occur within 100m of surface, with true widths estimated at 80–100% of downhole intersections.
Silver content has increased substantially, with individual core samples returning up to 127g/t Ag over 0.65m in IB26-051 — the highest silver assay from the project to date.
Zinc mineralisation features coarse sphalerite crystals up to 1cm in size, which could provide efficient liberation and recoveries.
The company also tested deeper areas around last year’s discovery, with hole IB26-050 returning 8.8m grading 4.1% Zn, 1.10% Pb, and 6.8g/t Ag from 197.2m.
The Indy Project covers 200km2 and 30km of prospective strata, located 90km southeast of Prince George. Indy benefits from direct road access and proximity to rail and power infrastructure.
Untested soil geochemical and electromagnetic signatures continue for at least 1,200m northwest of B-9 Apex, representing additional exploration potential.
InZinc Mining is a Vancouver-based explorer focused on advancing its Indy Base Metals Project in British Columbia.
