FINLAY COMMENCES DEEP-PENETRATING GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS ON ITS SILVER HOPE PROPERTY

Finlay Minerals Ltd. has commenced deep-penetrating induced polarization (IP) and magnetotellurics (MT) geophysical surveys at its 100-per-cent-owned Silver Hope property in central British Columbia.

Since 2010, the drilling of geophysical anomalies at the Silver Hope has successfully led to the discovery of the West Horizon copper-molybdenum porphyry and to the deep-seated copper-silver-gold stockwork mineralization along the Main and Main Deep horizons. The new IP and MT work can potentially penetrate to a depth of 1.5 kilometres and be used in conjunction with previous IP, magnetics, gravity and airborne geophysical surveys and core drilling to provide more comprehensive data reinterpretation. Ultimately, this will allow for target definition and vectors for future drilling programs.

The current survey will complete coverage of the West, Main/Deep and East horizons.

Management is targeting deep-seated porphyry intrusions that are believed to be the source for copper-silver-gold occurrences found along a favourable geological trend (Main trend) that extends south from the former Equity silver mine deposits.

The company further reports the approval of a multiyear exploration permit for exploration work until 2024. The property was also granted tenure protection due to the wildfires and evacuation orders this summer and early fall.
