Trevali Mining Corporation announced that recent diamond drilling at the Stratmat zinc, lead, silver and copper deposit in the Bathurst Mining Camp of northern New Brunswick has confirmed the presence of extensive massive sulphide mineralization.

Results indicate a new, wide zone of near surface mineralization containing significant zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold concentrations that also remains open for expansion along strike and at depth.

The ongoing planned 5,000 meters drill program is intended to convert a significant portion of the estimated independent National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 5.5 million tonnes grading 6.11% Zinc, 2.59% Lead, 0.40% Copper, 54.21 gram per tonne Silver and 0.62 gram per tonne Gold, to a higher confidence category.

Trevali is encouraged by the pervasiveness of the mineralized zone and anticipates zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold mineralization to increase with depth: The deepest intercept contains an impressive 69.38 gram per tonne silver within which a section returned 2.36% copper, demonstrating a positive change of geologic environment.
