FIREWEED METALS CORP. (“Fireweed” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FWZ;
OTCQB: FWEDF; FSE: M0G) is pleased to report the final results from
the 2023 drilling campaign at its Tom and Jason deposits, Macmillan
Pass (“Macpass”) Project, Yukon, Canada.
Highlights
-
Hole TS23-009 intersected 17.95 m (est. 14 m true width) of 11.45%
zinc, 5.86% lead and 126.3 g/t silver, including 6.6 m of 19.33%
zinc, 8.42% lead, and 225.1 g/t silver.
-
Hole TS23-009D2 intersected 18.78 m (est. 9.8 m true width) of
9.82% zinc, 11.65% lead, and 180.1 g/t silver, including 11.75 m of
11.93% zinc, 16.17% lead, and 260.5 g/t silver.
-
Both TS23-009 and TS23-009D2 intersected the new Tom South zone
which was not in the 2018 mineral resource. There is substantial
potential in this zone beyond what was intersected this year.
-
Drill results are now fully disclosed for the 2023 drilling
campaign at Macpass.
CEO Statement
Brandon Macdonald, CEO, stated, “The
intersection of continuous high-grade feeder style mineralization
at Tom South is arguably one of the most significant discoveries at
this deposit in decades and is a >100-metre step-out beyond the
known Tom resource. These intercepts provide a tantalizing glimpse
that Tom Southeast and Tom West may form a continuous zone of
stratiform and massive sulphide mineralization connected around a
fold hinge at Tom South. We are excited at the prospect of
exploring this concept in 2024 and are reminded that despite
generations of work, the Tom and Jason deposits may still have
surprises in store for us.”
Summary
The mineralization from drill holes in this
release primarily comprise stratiform (layer-parallel) and massive
(>50% sulphides) sulphides in Tom West, Tom South and Jason
South. At Tom West and Tom South this mineralization forms a
continuous steeply dipping domain with sharp margins, occurring
from surface to at least a depth of 750 m and across a strike
length of 1,500 m. At Jason South, mineralization occurs as a
series of steeply dipping stratiform lenses from 250 m below
surface to a depth of at least 730 m and a strike length of 450 m.
The intersections in holes TS23-009, TS23-009D1, and TS23-009D2
represent a significant 100 m step out from mineralization included
in the current Tom resource and comprise high-grade massive
sulphides associated with feeder style mineralization.
Results
The drill holes in this release are located at
Tom West, Tom South, and Jason South and targeted stratiform and
massive sulphides with a focus on step outs from the current
mineral resource that was last updated in 2018. Holes TS23-009,
TS23-009D1, and TS23-009D2 stepped out from an isolated
intersection in historical hole TS90-012 which was not included in
the 2018 resource. All three holes intersected high-grade
stratiform and massive sulphides, which support the idea there is a
continuous domain of mineralization outside of the 2018 resource
that remains open along strike. Holes TS23-001 to TS23-008
intersected stratiform zinc mineralization, successfully
stepping-out downdip and northwest from the known mineral resource
at Tom West.

At the Tom deposit, mineralization is contained
within tabular zones, that dip outwards around the margins of a
doubly-plunging, kilometre-scale anticline fold. The deposit is
subdivided into several zones, Tom West (or Tom Main zone), Tom
East, and Tom Southeast. Tom North was drilled and re-discovered in
2019, interpreted as a northern extension of Tom West that is not
included in the current mineral resource (see Fireweed news release
dated August 20, 2019). New drilling at Tom South indicates it is a
southern extension of Tom West on the nose of an anticline fold.
2023 drilling tested Tom South with hole TS23-009 and two
directional-splay holes TS23-009D1 and TS23-009D2. Mineralization
at Tom is subdivided into geological domains, based on mineralogy
and texture: massive sulphide, and pink facies, grey facies, and
black facies based on the colour of the sphalerite (zinc)
mineralization. Examples of the high-grade massive to laminated
sulphides encountered at Tom South, and the black-facies and
grey-facies mineralization within hole from Tom West can be seen in
Photos 1 to 3. Assays have now been received for all 2023 Tom and
Jason holes (Tables 1 and 3). Summaries for new drill results
reported in this news release are as follows:
-
Hole TS23-009 intersected 17.95 m (14 m est. true
width) of massive and stratiform sulphide grading 11.45% zinc,
5.86% lead, and 126.3 g/t silver, including 6.60 m grading 19.33%
zinc, 8.42% lead, and 225.1 g/t silver. Recovery in this
mineralized intercept was 64%—below the recovery threshold of 85%
typically deemed acceptable at the project, and as a result a
secondary hole was drilled as TS23-009D1.
-
Hole TS23-009D2 intersected 18.78 m (est. true
width 9.8 m) of massive and stratiform sulphide grading 9.82% zinc.

2023 Prospecting Program
Fireweed conducted a short prospecting program
at Macpass in 2023, focusing around geochemical and geophysical
anomalies that could be related to reduced intrusion related gold
systems. Prospecting crews took 535 rock samples, with gold grades
between 1 and 3,121 parts-per-billion (ppb) gold. Results over 100
ppb gold (12 samples) are presented in Table 2. Evidence of
arsenic-bismuth bearing ~NW-SE trending and NE dipping veins with
generally low and spotty gold values was located within hornfels
rock at the newly defined Neptune showing, interpreted as distal
alteration around a Mid-Cretaceous buried reduced intrusion. The
depth to the hypothesized intrusion cannot be accurately estimated
with the current observations and more work is required to
accurately assess the potential at Neptune.
Fireweed intends to continue prospecting in the
upcoming 2024 field season, with an emphasis on following up
anomalies in a commodity agnostic manner, using a data-driven
approach. Fireweed owns almost 1,000 square kilometres of mineral
tenure within the Selwyn basin, one of the world’s most significant
basins for zinc mineralization, where Fireweed sees great potential
for additional zinc discoveries. Fireweed’s ground is also within
the Mayo-Tombstone-Tungsten belt of intrusive rocks that on
Fireweed’s claims, host the world's largest high-grade tungsten
deposit**, Mactung, and off Fireweed’s claims, also includes the
past-producing Cantung tungsten mine, and emerging gold
discoveries.

About Fireweed Metals Corp. (TSXV: FWZ;
OTCQB: FWEDF; FSE:M0G): Fireweed Metals is a public
mineral exploration company on the leading edge of Critical
Minerals project development. Fireweed is well-funded, with a
healthy balance sheet, and has three projects located in
Canada:
-
Macpass Project
(Zinc-Lead-Silver): Fireweed owns 100% of
the district-scale 940 km2 Macmillan Pass (“Macpass”) Project in
Yukon, Canada, which is host to one of Earth’s largest undeveloped
resources of zinc**, a Critical Mineral. The Tom and Jason
zinc-lead-silver deposits have current Mineral Resources1 (11.21 Mt
Indicated Resource at 6.59% zinc, 2.48% lead, and 21.33 g/t silver;
and 39.47 Mt Inferred Resource at 5.84% zinc, 3.14% lead, and 38.15
g/t silver) and a Preliminary Economic Assessment2 (PEA). In
addition, Boundary Zone, Tom North, Tom South, and End Zone have
significant zinc-lead-silver mineralization drilled but not yet
classified as mineral resources. The Project also includes large
blocks of adjacent claims with known showings and significant
upside exploration potential.
-
Mactung Project (Tungsten): The
Company owns 100% interest in the 37.6 km2 Mactung Project located
adjacent to the Macpass Project. Recently announced Mineral
Resources for Mactung (41.5 Mt Indicated Resource at 0.73% WO3 and
12.2 Mt Inferred Resource at 0.59% WO3)3 make it the world’s
largest high-grade resource of the Critical Mineral tungsten**.
Located in Canada, it is one of the rare large tungsten resources
outside of China**.
-
Gayna Project
(Zinc-Lead-Gallium-Germanium): Fireweed
owns 100% of the 128.75 km2 Gayna Project located 180 km north of
the Macpass Project. It is host to extensive mineralization
including Critical Minerals zinc, gallium and germanium as well as
lead and silver, outlined by 28,000 m of historical drilling. A
recent reevaluation of the geology supported by recent ground
gravity geophysics results, soil surveys, and high grade rock
samples, indicate drill targets with potential for high-grade
Kipushi-style massive sulphide mineralization.

Data Verification
The diamond drill core logging and sampling
program was carried out under a rigorous quality assurance /
quality control program using industry best practices. Drill
intersections in this release are NQ2 size core (50.5 mm/ 1.99-inch
diameter) with recoveries typically above 85% unless otherwise
noted in the results tables. After drilling, core was cleaned,
logged for geology, structure, and geotechnical characteristics,
then marked for sampling and photographed on site. Certain cores
were selected for core scanning. The cores for analyses were marked
for sampling based on geological intervals with individual samples
2 m or less in length, with 1 m samples within mineralized zones.
Drill core was cut lengthwise in half with a core saw; half-core
was sent for assays reported in this news release, and the other
half is stored on site for reference. Bulk density was determined
on site for the entire length of each assay sample by measurement
of mass in air and mass in water. Sample duplicate bulk density
determinations and in-house bulk density standard determinations
were each made at a rate of 5%. Since 2017, four in-house bulk
density standards (mineralized drill core from the Tom deposit that
span a range of densities) have been used and show an acceptable
long-term precision. Certified standard masses are used to
calibrate the scale balance used for bulk density
determinations.
A total of 5% assay standards or blanks and 5%
core duplicates are included in the sample stream as a quality
control measure and are reviewed after analyses are received.
Standards and blanks in 2023 drill results to date have been
approved as acceptable. Duplicate data add to the long-term
estimates of precision for assay data on the project and precision
for drill results reported is deemed to be within acceptable
levels. Samples were sent to the Bureau Veritas (BV) preparation
laboratory in Whitehorse, Yukon, where the samples were crushed and
a 500 g split was sent to the BV laboratory in Vancouver, B.C to be
pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh size pulps. Clean crush material
was passed through the crusher and clean silica was pulverized
between each sample. The pulps were analyzed by 1:1:1 Aqua Regia
digestion followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry
(ICP-ES/ICP-MS) multi-element analyses (BV Code AQ270). All samples
were also analyzed for multiple elements by lithium borate fusion
and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) finish (BV Code LF725).
Over-limit lead (>25.0%) and zinc (>24.0%) were analyzed by
lithium borate fusion with XRF finish (BV Code LF726). For BV
samples, silver is reported in this news release by method AQ270,
and zinc and lead are reported by LF725 or LF726. Bureau Veritas
(Vancouver) is an independent, international ISO/IEC 17025:2017
accredited laboratory.
Surface samples from the gold program described
in this release were submitted with 5% standards or blanks and 2%
duplicates that were reviewed after receipt of assays and approved
as acceptable. Samples were sent to the BV preparation laboratory
in Whitehorse, Yukon, and prepared using the same crushing and
pulverizing methods as drill core samples. The resulting pulps were
analyzed by 1:1:1 Aqua Regia digestion followed by Inductively
Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-ES/ICP-MS) multi-element
analyses (BV Code AQ270). Gold values were determined by lead
collection fire assay fusion followed by ICP-ES analysis (BV Code
FA330). Any rock sample that initially assayed greater than 0.1 ppm
gold was re-assayed from both pulps and coarse rejects and results
were found to be repeatable, with variations within the range
expected given the nature of the duplicate samples. Reported values
for rock samples in Table 2 constitute a mean between initial and
re-assayed values for all reported analytes excepting Te, which was
only reported in the reanalysis.
Assay values may appear rounded to one decimal
place but are given in full in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3, and
Cross Sections where zinc and lead grades are reported to two
decimal places.
Drilling results in this news release are length
and bulk-density weighted averages as would be used in a Mineral
Resource estimate. Length and bulk-density weighted averages have
been reported as these most accurately represent the average
metal-content of the intersections.
True widths for primary intervals are estimated
by measuring perpendicular to strike within the short axis of a
stratiform wireframe that has been constructed in 3D around the
mineralized intercepts at Tom based on assay results, geological
logging, stratigraphic correlation, and bedding measurements from
oriented core. The mineralization at Tom is stratiform (oriented
parallel to bedding), therefore the true width, or thickness, of
the zone is estimated perpendicular to both the strike and dip
direction of bedding. True widths are rounded to the nearest metre
for widths over 10 m and to the nearest 0.1 m for widths less than
10 m, as this better reflects the precision of the estimates. True
widths should be regarded as approximate as these are derived from
an estimation that uses a preliminary interpretation of the
geological model. True widths for nested intervals (marked as
“Including” in results tables) are estimated using a ratio of
included to primary intersected widths to attribute appropriate
portions of the true width of the primary interval to the nested
intervals.
