Callinex Intersects 9m of 12.53% Copper and Other High-Grade Intervals at the Rainbow Deposit located in the Flin Flon Mining District

01.03.2022  |  CNW
Highlights:
  • PBM-161-W1 intersected 9m of 12.53% copper ("Cu") including 5.5m of 17.37% Cu;
  • PBM-161-W2 intersected 14m of 5.71% Cu and 6.50m of 4.48% Cu; and
  • At 110m below surface, the most shallow intersection to date, PBM-163 intersected 6m of 2.34% CuEq.

VANCOUVER, March 1, 2022 - Callinex Mines Inc. (the "Company" or "Callinex") (TSXV: CNX) (OTCQX: CLLXF) is pleased to announce results from an additional drilling from the 2021 exploration campaign to expand the high-grade copper, gold, silver and zinc Rainbow Deposit (the "Rainbow"). The Rainbow is located at the 100% owned Pine Bay Project within a mineral lease, less than 250m from a high-voltage hydroelectric power-line and 550m from a historic shaft with direct road access to processing facilities in Flin Flon, Manitoba (District Overview Map).

PBM-161-W1 intersected the Orange Zone and returned 9.0m of 12.53% copper ("Cu"), 0.21 g/t gold ("Au"), 2.63 g/t silver ("Ag"), 0.25% zinc ("Zn") or 13.19% copper equivalent ("CuEq") including 5.50m of 17.37% Cu (Rainbow Deposit Long Section). The Orange Zone in PBM-161-W1 was preceded by an intercept in the Yellow Zone that returned 8.00m of 1.90% CuEq (1.6.% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, 2.63 g/t Ag and 0.25% Zn). The Orange Zone intersection in PBM-161-W1 is located 20m vertically above and along strike to the north of PBM-129-W2 which intersected 13.0m of 8.75% Cu (Orange Zone) and a 41m step-out to the south from PBM-113-W1 which intersected 5.00m of 8.79% Cu (Orange Zone).

Max Porterfield, President and CEO, stated, "Drill results outlined today continue to deliver some of the highest grades of copper intersected at the Rainbow Deposit since its initial discovery in late 2020. It is worthy to note infill drill holes PBM-161, PBM-161-W1 and PBM-161-W2 have wider intervals and higher copper grades than many other holes drilled in the vicinity of them. Additionally, the Rainbow deposit now comes within 110m of surface which we believe in turn has the potential to further reduce upfront capital costs and development timelines."

PBM-161-W2, a 54m step-out above PBM-161-W1, intersected the Orange Zone which intersected 14.00m of 5.71% Cu, 0.28 g/t Au, 5.57 g/t Ag or 5.98% CuEq which was preceded by the Yellow Zone which returned 6.50m of 4.48% Cu, 0.50 g/t Au, 9.06 g/t Ag and 1.48% Zn (5.47% CuEq). Parent hole PBM-161, located 82m below PBM-161-W1, intersected the Yellow Zone and returned 13.30m of 2.17% Cu.

JJ O'Donnell, Callinex Exploration Manager, stated, "With the resumption of definition drilling at Pine Bay project we anticipate continual positive results to be delivered from the Rainbow deposit, along with some exceptional near surface exploration targets planned to be tested in early 2022."

The most shallow intersection to date into Rainbow, 110m below surface, drill hole PBM-163, intersected the Orange Zone and returned 9.00m of 1.74% CuEq (0.39% Cu, 0.76 g/t Au, 25.34 g/t Ag and 1.61% Zn) including 6.00m of 2.34% CuEq (0.54% Cu, 1.06 g/t Au, 34.70 g/t Ag and 2.04% Zn) and the Red Zone which returned 4.00m of 0.79% CuEq. (0.03% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, 2.5 g/t Ag and 1.71% Zn) along strike, 73m to the north of PBM-163, PBM-147 intersected the Orange Zone which assayed 9.00m of 1.73% CuEq (0.85% Cu, 0.59 g/t Au, 10.39 g/t Ag and 1.02% Zn) and the Red Zone which returned 8.00m of 0.78% CuEq.(0.01% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 11.84 g/t Ag and 1.57% Zn).

Near surface drilling at the Rainbow has produced the highest returned assays for gold, silver and zinc while the highest grade copper has been intersected at depth, which is typical of metal distribution in Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits found in the Flin Flon Mining District.

The Company plans to continue to delineate Rainbow within the first 1km of surface in anticipation of publishing a maiden resource later this year. Since the Company discovered the Rainbow Deposit in August 2020, the Company has drilled 71 holes (including 15 wedges) for a total of 40,000m into the deposit area.

Callinex will soon outline high-priority targets located within the interpreted growth fault corridor which hosts Rainbow and five other deposits. These targets will be drill tested along with high priority targets identified from new regional IP/EM surveys completed along 5.5km of the trend that hosts the high-grade Rainbow deposit, Sourdough deposit and past-producing Centennial Mine (See News Release dated February 2, 2022).

QA / QC Protocols
Individual samples were labeled, placed in plastic sample bags, and sealed. Groups of samples were then placed in security sealed bags and shipped directly to SGS lab in Vancouver, BC for analysis. Samples were weighed then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in order to produce a 250g pulverized split. 35 elements including copper, zinc, lead and silver assays were determined by Aqua Regia digestion with a combination of ICP-MS and ICP-AES finish, with over limits rerun using an ore grade analysis (two acid digest ICP-AES). Gold was analyzed by fire assay. Specific gravity (sg) measured for each sample using the pycnometer and water and air method. QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards, blanks, and duplicates
