Fireweed Metals is pleased to announce the discovery of extensive mineralization at the new Popcorn target within the Macpass Project.

Near-surface zinc and silver mineralization encountered is similar to the vein and breccia mineralization that overprints the massive sulphide at Boundary, presenting an exciting new opportunity.

Key Highlights:

• Significant intercepts at Popcorn of near-surface vein and replacement style mineralization, similar in character to Boundary Zone including:
  • NB24-004 From 10.83 metre (“m”) downhole: 46.03 m at 4.88% zinc and 3.6 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver, including 24.96 m at 8.27% zinc and 5.3 g/t silver
  • NB24-002 From 15.75 m downhole: 54.75 m at 3.98% zinc and 3.9 g/t silver, including 8.85 m at 6.13% zinc and 4.4 g/t silver, and also including 19.78 m at 6.71% zinc and 5.9 g/t silver
• Mineralization intersected across all seven holes drilled at Popcorn
• Located 600 m Northeast from Boundary Zone resource pit-shell, outside of the current Mineral Resource Estimate

A Word from Our Interim CEO, Peter Hemstead:

“Popcorn represents the first exploration success stemming from our regional exploration program this year at Macpass. Identifying near-surface zinc mineralization and defining its continuity less than a kilometre from the pit-shell that constrains the resource at Boundary Zone is significant in establishing Popcorn as an exciting exploration opportunity. In addition to being open in all directions, there is also potential for massive sulphides, similar to the feeder style mineralization seen at Boundary Zone, that we intend to explore in the future.”
