NorZinc Ltd. provided an update on 2019 plans for the Company's 100%-owned base metal projects in Newfoundland. Plans for 2019 include: Reduce land holdings and maintain the core land position that includes: 3 base metal deposits having National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant resource estimates; and the Tulks East historic base metal resource. Advance specific economic and structural studies on the Lemarchant deposit. Consider optioning out key land holdings with high gold exploration potential. NorZinc's exploration strategy in central Newfoundland is to continue to build on its existing polymetallic resource base with the aim of developing either a stand-alone mine, similar to the past-producing base metal mines at Buchans and Duck Pond or utilizing a number of NorZinc's deposits that could be developed simultaneously and processed in a central milling facility. The Company holds three, high-grade zinc-lead-copper-gold-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits with NI 43-101 compliant resources, and which have excellent potential for expansion. NorZinc intends to focus its exploration on priority targets at these three established deposits with the aim of increasing the resource base. In addition, the Company is reviewing its Tulks East claim block where a recently completed gravity geophysical survey in the immediate vicinity of the Tulks East deposit area has generated additional exploration targets. The Tulks East deposit has a historical resource of 4.3 million tonnes of pyritic sulphide mineralization (Lens A) 2.9% Zn, 0.2% Pb, 0.4% Cu and 14.7 g/t Ag and 0.3 million tonnes of pyritic sulphide mineralization (Lens B) grading 10.3% Zn, 1.3% Pb, 0.8% Cu, 81.2 g/t Ag and 0.68 g/t Au. Drilling by the Company in 2014 demonstrated that base metal grades in Lens A increased with depth and down-plunge. The Tulks East historical resource was estimated by Noranda in 1998 but a Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101, has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources. NorZinc is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources, as defined by NI 43-101, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. NorZinc holds some key ground that covers a regional, gold-bearing structural corridor that hosts Marathon Gold Corp.'s Valentine Lake gold deposits (35 kilometres SE) and Antler Gold's recently discovered gold occurrences at its Wilding Lake project located adjacent to NorZinc. Work by Marathon and others has demonstrated that this structural trend is capable of hosting significant gold mineralizing systems in what appears to be an emerging gold camp. The Company is evaluating and considering optioning out its land holdings with high gold exploration potential. Since acquiring the Newfoundland assets the Company has completed 47,000 metres of drilling on its properties and increased indicated resources by almost 40%. The majority of the claims are reaching their 20th year of ownership, at which time assessment and license costs increase by 80%. As part of the exploration process and claim evaluation, the Company plans to reduce claims that are not proximal to the established resources or part of the 2019 plan.
