CMC Announces New Mineral Resource Estimate for the Silver Hart Project
27 Novembro 2024 - 10:06AM
CMC Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: CMB) (Frankfurt: ZM5P) (“CMC” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new Mineral
Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for its silver-lead-zinc Silver Hart
Project (SHP), in Yukon, Canada.
The new MRE totals an Inferred resource of 8.820 Moz @ 145.2 g/t
silver equivalent (“AgEq”) in 1,889,000 tonnes utilizing a cut-off
grade of 50 g/t AgEq (See table 1). This MRE has been prepared
in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National
Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
(“NI 43-101”).

Notes:
- The effective date of this mineral
resource statement is December 31, 2023.
- The qualified person responsible
for this Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is Charley Murahwi, M.Sc.,
P.Geo., FAusIMM.
- The mineral resources have been
estimated in accordance with the CIM Best Practice Guidelines
(2019) and the CIM Definition Standards (2014)
- Ordinary Kriging (OK) interpolation
was used with a single block size of 5m x 5m x 5m.
- The mineral resource results are
presented in-situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material
outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current
MRE.
- The tonnes and metal contents are
rounded to reflect that the numbers are an estimate and any
discrepancies in the totals are due to the rounding effects.
- AgEq g/t = [(Ag ppm x %Recovery x
Price/g) + (Pb ppm x %Recovery x Price/g) + (Zn ppm x %Recovery x
Price/g)]/ (Ag Price/g x %Recovery).
- Mineral resources unlike mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate
of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental,
permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or
other relevant issues.

and technical parameters and/or assumptions is presented in Table 2

Further details on the new mineral resource estimate at Silver
Hart and the use of the above-mentioned parameters will be provided
in the upcoming NI 43-101 report by MICON International Limited who
undertook the MRE estimate on behalf of the Company.
Kevin Brewer, President and CEO of the Company noted, “We have a
conceptual development plan that suits the size and grade of the
resource estimate and the nature of the mineralization that starts
at surface. The mineralization at Silver hart comprises of
high-grade veins and mantos that are potentially amenable to open
pit mining. Our plan is to fully evaluate developing these
resources for a seasonal, small scale open pit operation developing
each of the known mineralized areas. We plan to evaluate the
potential ways to minimize project risk that will include the
possible utilization of an ore sorter to enhance ore grades with
the concentrate material then trucked to a processing facility. The
closest potential mill may be at the Silvertip project owned by
Coeur Mining, which would entail a trucking distance of
approximately 100 kilometers from Silver Hart. CMC also hopes to
establish a partnership arrangement with local First Nations to
undertake this project and will be commencing discussions in the
very near future. Our next steps are to engage discussions with
First Nations and conduct the first round or metallurgical testing
and ore sorting capabilities which we hope to commence in the near
future, subject to financing.”
The new MRE also notes that there are opportunities to expand
many of the known mineralized zones (TM, KL, K, S and M) and does
not include any discussions on the potential for additional zones
in the adjacent Blue Heaven Property that is 80% owned by CMC.
The Rancheria Silver District is located approximately 300
kilometers east of Whitehorse, Yukon in a 130 km long by
50 km wide belt that straddles the Yukon and British Columbia
border. CMC has been actively exploring this silver district on the
northern end at its Silver Hart and Blue Heaven properties and
recently acquired a 100% interest in the Amy property and has
optioned its Silverknife Project to Coeur Mining Inc.
