District Metals Corp. reported that the core drilling program has been completed at its polymetallic Gruvberget Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District of south-central Sweden. Drilling at the Gruvberget Property commenced in early-June where 1,144 m in five holes (GRU22-001 to -005) have been completed.

Drill core samples from these five holes will be shipped to ALS Geochemistry in Malå, Sweden for assay preparation and then to ALS Geochemistry in Loughrea, Ireland for analysis. Assay results are expected by late-August or early-September. Polymetallic sulphide mineralization was intersected in four out of five drill holes at the Gruvberget North zone.

Multiple mineralized intervals from 0.4 to 8.8 m in width were observed in each of the four mineralized drill holes. The polymetallic sulphide mineralization comprises chalcopyrite (copper sulphide +/- gold), sphalerite (zinc sulphide), and galena (lead sulphide +/- silver) as disseminated, impregnated, vein/stringer, and semi-massive sulphide mineralization. The polymetallic mineralized system at the Gruvberget North zone has been identified as possible Strataform Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization, which would make it analogous to Lundin Mining's Zinkgruvan Mine located 190 km to the south of the Gruvberget Property.

Hole GRU22-003 intersected 8.8 m (127.4 to 136.2 m) of disseminated to semi-massive polymetallic sulphide mineralization. Hole GRU22-004 intersected 6.2 m (125.7 to 131.9 m) of disseminated to vein polymetallic sulphide mineralization. Hole GRU22-002 intersected 4.65 m (132.65 to 137.30 m) of disseminated to semi-massive polymetallic sulphide mineralization.
