InZinc Mining Ltd. announced completion of the 2023 exploration drill program and demobilization of equipment and personnel at the Indy project (100% interest) ("Indy" or the "Project") located 100 kilometres (km) southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia. The 9 hole, 1064 metre (m) ground-based reverse circulation drill program explored the Keel Red target area (6 holes) where rare earth elements (REE) were identified with nickel-cobalt-copper discovered in 2022 and the Echo North target (3 holes) defined, principally, by its strong zinc-lead-barium in soil signatures. All drill samples have been delivered to the laboratory for analysis with initial results anticipated in late October to November, depending on lab turnaround time.

Keel Red Target - Rare Earth Elements and Associated Nickel-Cobalt-Copper: In 2022, diamond drill hole IB22-020 intersected 27.1 m of buried red clay rich material starting at 47.3 m downhole and averaging 0.67% zinc and 0.13% nickel. The upper part of the core interval (from 47.3 m to 55.0 m) also returned 0.11% copper over 7.8 m. Additionally, the 27.1 m interval returned cobalt content averaging 163 ppm including values up to 962 ppm (0.10%) over a 1.0 m core length. Further analysis in 2023 returned 363 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO) over the 27.1 m interval.

The heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) comprise approximately 60% of the average TREO content over the 27. 1 m interval. Echo North Target - Multi-Metal: The 1.9 km long Echo target is a continuous high contrast, multi-element (zinc, lead, barium signatures) soil geochemical anomaly discovered in 2021.

Echo North comprises an area 400 m by 250 m defined, principally, by its strong zinc-lead-barium in soil signatures. Additional strong nickel-cobalt-copper surface geochemical signals also occur across the western flank of the Echo North target.
