Fireweed Intersects 1.54% Copper, 5.42% Zinc, and 5.7 g/t Silver over 2.00 m and 2.35% Zinc, and 4.6 g/t Silver over 203.05 m in Step-Out Hole at Boundary Zone

November 18, 2021

Vancouver, British Columbia: FIREWEED ZINC LTD. (“Fireweed”) (TSXV: FWZ) (FWEDF)) is pleased to announce further results from the 2021 drilling program at the Macmillan Pass project, Yukon, Canada. Results from this step-out hole continue to show that Boundary Zone is growing and expand the known extent of the wide zones of vein-hosted mineralization.


Highlights

- A new, copper-rich style of mineralization was encountered in NB21-005, grading 1.54% copper, 5.42% zinc, 0.04% lead, and 5.6 g/t silver over 2.00 m.
- Step-out hole NB21-005 intersected a wide zone of vein hosted mineralization at Boundary Zone grading 2.35% zinc, 0.01% lead, and 4.6 g/t silver over 203.05 m, extending the mineralized zone to depth.
- The broader 203.05 m intersection included wide higher-grade zones such as 34.45 m of 4.61% zinc, 0.01% lead, and 8.9 g/t silver.

Brandon Macdonald, CEO, stated:
“These intriguing drill results show a new style of mineralization and brings copper into the mix at Boundary Zone. This is an encouraging sign of the system becoming hotter as we continue to expand the known zone of mineralization with more and more step-outs. This is the first discovery of meaningful copper grades in core at the Macmillan Pass project and we are excited to follow up on this new style of copper-zinc mineralization in the coming drill programs”.
