District Metals Corp. reported on assay results from grab and chip rock samples recovered from geological fieldwork carried out in late-2021 at its polymetallic Gruvberget Project in the Bergslagen Mining District of south-central Sweden. This fieldwork concentrated on reconnaissance prospecting and geochemical sampling at the Gruvberget South and North zones, which represents less than 10% of the mineralized trend that is enclosed by the 5,286 hectare Gruvberget Property. Chip sampling from outcrop at the Gruvberget South zone returned 41.9% ZnEq (132.0 g/t Ag, 30.1% Zn, 7.6% Pb, 0.5 g/t Au, and 0.1% Cu). Mineralization at the Gruvberget South zone remains open in most directions as evidenced through outcrop assay results and historic drill results within and outside of the historic open pit. Grab sampling from mine dumps at the Gruvberget North zone returned 28.7% ZnEq (367.0 g/t Ag, 4.7% Zn, 15.7% Pb, 0.2 g/t Au, and 0.04% Cu). Mineralization at the Gruvberget North zone remains open in all directions as evidenced through outcrop assay results and historic drilling.
Grab sampling from a small historic pit at the northern end of the Gruvberget North zone returned 28.3% ZnEq (111.0 g/t Ag, 18.5% Zn, 7.1% Pb, 0.1 g/t Au, and 0.1% Cu). The core area of the Gruvberget Property comprises the North and South zones, which have seen significant polymetallic mineralization historically drilled along a strike length of 1 km that is open in most directions. The remaining 14 km mineralized trend within the Property is strewn with historic polymetallic mines and mineral occurrences that have not seen modern systematic exploration.
