Victory Metals Significantly Expands Vanadium Footprint at Iron Point and Confirms North-South Continuity of Mineralization

06.03.2019  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, March 6, 2019 - Victory Metals Inc. ("TSX-V:VMX") ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an additional seven reverse circulation ("RC") holes completed at its Iron Point Vanadium Project, located 22 miles east of Winnemucca, Nevada. Including these seven holes, Victory has now released results for 15 RC holes from a planned program of 69 RC holes and four diamond drill holes. 

The seven holes reported today were drilled vertically along a north-south trending long section line (see Figure 1, B-B') that bisects the east-west trending cross section line A-A' (see Figure 1), the results for which were previously released (see Victory's February 28, 2019, news release).

Highlights

  • RC drill results from the north-south long section B-B' (see Figure 2) include:

    • 21 meters grading 0.54% V2O5 (including 6 meters grading 0.67% V2O5) in VM-6

    • 27 meters grading 0.56% V2O5 in VM-7 (previously reported)

    • 23 meters grading 0.63% V2O5 (including 6 meters grading 0.88% V2O5) in VM-23

    • 20 meters grading 0.54% V2O5 (including 9 meters grading 0.68% V2O5) in VM-26

    • 18 meters grading 0.53% V2O5 (including 2 meters grading 1.14% V2O5) in VM-76

  • As with the initial holes, these latest intercepts are contained in two flat-lying higher grade vanadiferous horizons, referred to as the Upper and New High Grade Zones, which occur within a broader and extensive envelope of lower grade mineralization that starts at surface and extends down to a depth of at least 175 meters. New intercepts of this broader envelope include:

    • 168 meters grading 0.21% V2O5 in hole VM-4 (from surface)

    • 104 meters grading 0.24% V2O5 in hole VM-25 (from surface)

    • 151 meters grading 0.21% V2O5 in hole VM-76 (from surface)

  • A review of these new drill results indicates that the flat lying Upper and New High Grade zones previously interpreted on an east-west cross section are also continuous in a north-south direction over a significant strike distance (580 meters N-S, and open). Note that hole VM-07 is common to both section A-A' and section B-B' and is helpful in tying these two sections together. The two completed and released drill sections (utilizing 15 RC drill holes) confirm the lateral and depth continuity of vanadium mineralization in the Upper and New High Grade Zones, as well as the extent of the lower grade vanadium mineralization envelope.  

Collin Kettell, CEO of Victory, stated, "The first drill holes from our maiden drill program demonstrated continuity on an east-west trending section, over a distance of at least 525 meters. These new results have demonstrated that these interpreted higher-grade zones also continue for at least 580 meters along a north-south trend. This provides Victory with a well-defined, cohesive "core" zone of mineralization from which to expand outward with additional drilling. These results provide Victory with a strong platform from which to further expand mineralization."

Drill Results

Assay results for intercepts released today are reported in % V2O5. Intercept lengths are deemed to be true thickness given the flat nature of the mineralized zones being tested by vertical holes. Intercept lengths are reported as an Overall Length, which includes all assay intervals within the vanadium blanket zone (at a 0.09% V2O5 minimum grade), and also as individual zone intercepts reported as aggregate lengths comprised of samples grading 0.25% V2O5 and greater.

QA/QC and Qualified Person
The Victory drilling program was directly supervised in the field by the QP and other site geologists working for Victory. All samples were split at the drill site using a Gilson bar splitter and Jones riffle splitter, with two samples per 5-foot (1.52m) sample interval collected and placed into heavy plastic bags together with sequentially numbered sample tags. A 2kg sample was collected for assay, while a 4kg reference sample was kept on-site. Three different vanadium standards (71 ppm V, 320 ppm V, and 5172 ppm V) and coarse blank samples were purchased from Minerals Exploration and Environmental Geochemistry (MEG) Inc. of Reno, NV. Victory site geologists inserted field blank, standard, and duplicate samples into the drill sample stream per NI 43-101 guidelines, maintaining a 1-in-20 insertion rate for each of the field blank, standard, and duplicate samples such that every 7th sample is a control sample.  Field duplicate samples were split from the 4kg reference samples using a Jones riffle splitter.

Drill samples were transported by Victory personnel to locked storage sheds rented by Victory and located in Golconda, NV, about 14km west of the project area. Samples were picked up in Golconda by American Assay Laboratories utilizing its own truck and driver and transported directly to American Assay's facility in Reno, NV. At American Assay Laboratories, the samples were crushed to 70% passing 2mm, and then a 0.3km split was ground to 85% passing 75 micron. A 0.5gm split was digested in a 5 acid process (ICP-5A035 method uses HNO3, HF, HClO4, HCl, H3BO3) and analyzed via ICP-OES. The detection limit for vanadium is 1ppm, the upper limit is 10,000ppm, and sample results are reported in PPM V. As a separate QAQC check, American Assay inserted laboratory standards, blanks, and duplicates into the sample stream. American Assay Laboratories is accredited by the International Accreditation Service, which conforms with requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005.  

Victory is currently using ALS Chemex in British Columbia to perform umpire assays on 1-in-20 drill pulps obtained from American Assay Laboratories and submitted to the ALS Chemex facility in Reno, NV.  ALS Chemex employs a four-acid digestion process (ME-ICP61m method), so Victory is re-numbering the pulp samples and inserting the same field standard samples into the sample stream in order to better compare results between the two labs.
