07:33 AM EDT, 10/08/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Fireweed Metals ( FWEDF ) on Tuesday said it discovered mineralization at all seven holes drilled at Popcorn, a new target at the Macpass Project in the Yukon.

The company noted "significant" intercepts at Popcorn of near-surface vein and replacement style mineralization, including 46.03 m at 4.88% zinc and 3.6 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, including 24.96 m at 8.27% zinc and 5.3 g/t silver.

"Identifying near-surface zinc mineralization and defining its continuity less than a kilometre from the pit-shell that constrains the resource at Boundary Zone is significant in establishing Popcorn as an exciting exploration opportunity," said Peter Hemstead, interim president and CEO. "In addition to being open in all directions, there is also potential for massive sulphides, similar to the feeder style mineralization seen at Boundary Zone, that we intend to explore in the future."
