AMN - NAMIBIA: Trevali extends zinc-rich deposit at Rosh Pinah

Trevali Mining Corporation’s drill results from the 2019 exploration program at Rosh Pinah Base Metals Project in Namibia have extended the Western Orefield deposit. The company has identified a high-grade, zinc-rich extension to WF3 to the south.

One exploration hole intersected 19.99 metres at 7.2% zinc and 1.8% lead, including 3 metres at 14.2% zinc; and 57.81 metres at 9.2% zinc 3.3% lead and 43.4 g/t silver, including 30.44 metres at 12.7% zinc, 5% lead and 72.6 g/t silver.

Another exploration hole hit 38.77 metres at 9.5% zinc, 2.3% lead and 12.8 g/t silver, including 9.15 metres at 15.4% zinc, 5.2% lead and 28.2 g/t silver.

An infill hole returned 32.05 metres at 8.9% zinc, 0.7% lead and 10.65 g/t silver, including 6 metres at 15.9% zinc, 0.6% lead and 10.8 g/t silver; 44.75 metres at 11.19% zinc, 0.46% lead, 1% copper and 14.7 g/t silver, including 15.5 metres at 14.51% zinc, 0.9% lead and 17 g/t silver; and 43.85 metres at 9.95% zinc, 0.9% lead and 8.2 g/t silver, including 7.45 metres at 20.62% zinc, 0.3% lead and 11.8 g/t silver.

These holes demonstrate that there is great potential for new high-grade, polymetallic tonnes at Rosh Pinah. This newly identified high-grade zone remains open to the southeast and northwest and will be the major target for the current quarter.

Exploration and Mineral Resources vice-president Yan Bourassa said: "We are encouraged by the results from the exploration program at Rosh Pinah and the ability to keep intersecting high-grade zones at the Western Orefield and extending the deposit further north.

"The continued ability to increase the mineral resource base at Rosh Pinah and extending the deposit indicates the quality of the ore body and demonstrates the team's ability to support Trevali's long-term strategy of growth at Rosh Pinah."

During 2019, the exploration team focused on fully exploiting the wealth of historic data accumulated over 50 years of continuous mining, including by identifying in-mine targets that were previously sporadically explored.

Continued system analysis and structural reinterpretation are helping to improve the understanding of the Rosh Pinah mineralising system and assist with targeting.

The Rosh Pinah mineralisation was long thought to be hosted exclusively along a single horizon, however by challenging these perceptions, new opportunities are being identified.

The bulk of Trevali's revenue is generated from base-metals mining at its four operational assets: the 90%-owned Perkoa Mine in Burkina Faso, the 90%-owned Rosh Pinah Mine in Namibia, the wholly-owned Caribou Mine in northern New Brunswick, Canada and the wholly-owned Santander Mine in Peru.

In addition, Trevali owns the Halfmile and Stratmat Properties and the Restigouche Deposit in New Brunswick, Canada, and the past-producing Ruttan Mine in northern Manitoba, Canada.

Trevali also owns an effective 44% interest in the Gergarub Project in Namibia, as well as an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Heath Steele deposit in New Brunswick, Canada.
