Midnight Sun Confirms High Grade Drill Intercepts at Mitu
Midnight Sun Confirms High Grade Drill Intercepts at Mitu
Copper mineralisation style and grade similar to Sentinel Mine
與哨兵礦相似的銅礦化類型和品位
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 25, 2023) - Midnight Sun Mining Corp. (TSXV: MMA) (OTCQB: MDNGF) (the "Company" or "Midnight Sun") is pleased to provide the remaining drill results from holes MTDD047 and MTDD048, and a summary of results from the 2022 drilling campaign on the Mitu Trend, one of four key prospects which comprise the Company's Solwezi Project in Zambia. Initial laboratory results were received shortly after the conclusion of drilling in 2022, however the Company chose to re-assay select drill core in order to confirm laboratory accuracy. SGS Inspection Services Kalulushi, has now completed all assays and the Company is pleased to report that initial results were confirmed, and significant mineralisation was encountered. Copper mineralisation intercepted at Mitu is associated with cobalt, nickel, and anomalous gold. This suite of metals is comparable in mineralization style and grade to those at First Quantum's Sentinel Mine, located approximately 120 kilometres west of Midnight Sun's Solwezi Project.
溫哥華，不列顛哥倫比亞省-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年7月25日)-午夜太陽礦業公司(TSXV：MMA)(場外交易：MDNGF)(“公司”或“午夜”Sun“)很高興提供MTDD047和MTDD048孔的剩餘鑽探結果，以及2022年Mitu趨勢鑽探活動的結果摘要，Mitu趨勢是該公司在尚比亞的Solwezi專案的四個關鍵前景之一。在2022年鑽探結束後不久就收到了初步的實驗室結果，但公司選擇重新分析選定的鑽芯以確認實驗室的準確性。SGS檢驗服務公司Kalulushi現已完成所有分析，公司高興地報告，初步結果已得到確認，並遇到了重大礦化。在米圖截獲的銅礦化與鈷、鎳和異常金有關。該套金屬的礦化類型及品位可與First Quantum的Sentinel礦相媲美，該礦位於Midnight Sun的Solwezi專案以西約120公里處。
2022 Mitu Drill Highlights Include:

Al Fabbro, Midnight Sun's President & CEO, stated: "We are very pleased to see that these final results from Mitu are consistent with earlier drilling. Though delays are never ideal, confirming our initial results was a prudent step toward developing a sound technical model and establishing our future plans for this key component of our Solwezi Project. Our 2022 exploration program has accomplished precisely what we had hoped for, which is proof of concept. This new work has revealed more insight into the mineralisation at Mitu, and most exciting for our team is the revelation that the geology at Mitu is consistent with that of First Quantum's Sentinel Mine, located a short distance to the west. We have long believed that there could be multiple large geological systems on our 506 square kilometre property, and this not only establishes an analog for Mitu, but strengthens our belief that more than one generational copper deposit may exist on our property."
午夜太陽總裁首席執行官艾爾·法布羅表示：“我們非常高興地看到，MITU的這些最終結果與之前的鑽探結果一致。儘管延誤從來都不是理想的，但確認我們的初步結果是朝著開發一個合理的技術模型和為我們Solwezi專案的這個關鍵部分建立未來計劃邁出的謹慎一步。我們的2022年探測計劃恰好實現了我們所希望的，這是概念的驗證。這項新工作揭示了對Mitu礦化的更多洞察，最令我們團隊興奮的是，Mitu的地質與First Quantum位於西面不遠的Sentinel礦的地質情況一致。我們長期以來一直認為，在我們506平方公里的地產上可能有多個大型地質系統，這不僅建立了與Mitu類似的情況，而且強化了我們的信念，即我們的地產上可能存在不止一個世代的銅礦床。“
Midnight Sun completed 17 diamond-drill-holes totaling 3,559 metres ("m") on the Solwezi Project during the 2022 field season, consisting of 7 holes at the Mitu Trend target area and 10 holes at the Crunch Zone target area. Initial results were announced on November 7, 2022. The 2022 drilling program resulted from a review of available date and culminated in a set of drill targets that included a 'new look' at existing target areas as well as newly defined targets interpreted from high-resolution geophysical data over the project area.
2022年，午夜太陽在Solwezi專案上完成了17個鑽石鑽孔，總計3,559米(“m”)，包括在Mitu Trend目標區的7個孔和在Crunch Zone目標區的10個孔。初步結果於2022年11月7日公佈。2022年的鑽探計劃源於對可用日期的審查，並最終形成了一系列鑽探目標，其中包括新面貌‘在現有目標區域以及從專案區上空的高解析度地球物理數據解釋的新定義目標。

Notes:
備註：
- Reported intervals are the downhole widths. More structural and orientation data is required to determine true widths.
- Reported intervals are calculated for zones assaying > 0.1% copper or 0.01% cobalt and containing less than 2 meters of internal waste.
- Copper equivalent values are estimated using current metal prices of $3.75/lb copper, $15/lb cobalt, and $9.25/lb nickel. Gold has not been included in the equivalent calculation.
- Copper equivalent values are presented for ease of interval comparison only. Metallurgical recovery factors are assumed to be 100% although the recovery factors for various metals may vary significantly.
- 報告的井距是井下寬度。需要更多的結構和方向數據來確定真實寬度。
- 報告間隔是針對銅含量>0.1%或鈷含量0.01%且內部廢物含量小於2米的區域計算的。
- 銅當量價值是使用當前金屬價格估算的，分別為3.75美元/磅銅、15美元/磅鈷和9.25美元/磅鎳。黃金並未計入當量計算。
- 銅當量值僅為便於區間比較而提供。冶金回收係數假定為100%，儘管各種金屬的回收係數可能有很大差異。

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
質量控制/品質保證
Samples obtained during the diamond drilling were transported directly to SGS Inspection Services in Kalulushi, Zambia by Midnight Sun personnel for sample preparation. There the samples were sorted, dried, crushed, and pulped before final chemical analysis using ICP42S method which encompasses a 3 or 4 acid digest followed by an AAS multi-element scan. All samples returning >10,000 ppm Cu were automatically re-assayed for higher level concentrations by SGS, which is a fully accredited laboratory. Standards and blanks were inserted regularly in the sample stream and checks were done for Cu. A subset of pulps from MTDD044 and MTDD045 were selected and airfreight to SGS South Africa for gold analysis by fire assay.
鑽石鑽探過程中獲得的樣品由Midnight Sun人員直接運送到尚比亞Kalulushi的SGS檢驗服務部門進行樣品準備。在那裡，樣品被分類、乾燥、粉碎和制漿，然後使用ICP42S方法進行最終的化學分析，該方法包括3或4酸消化，然後進行AAS多元素掃描。SGS是一家完全認可的實驗室，所有返回>10,000 ppm銅的樣品都會自動重新檢測更高水平的濃度。在樣品流中定期插入標準和空白，並對銅進行檢查。從MTDD044和MTDD045中選擇一組紙漿，空運到SGS南非進行火試金法分析。
