Integral Metals Intersects High-Grade Zinc with Gallium and Germanium at the KAP Project, Northwest Territories

Executive Summary

• Integral Metals announced assay results from seven NQ‑size diamond drill holes at the KAP Project, confirming high‑grade zinc mineralization with notable gallium and germanium enrichment.
• Highest intercepts include 28.26 % Zn, 362 ppm Ga, 473 ppm Ge over 3.45 m (Hole KAP‑25‑001B) and 8.28 % Zn, 61 ppm Ga, 80 ppm Ge over 16.15 m (Hole KAP‑25‑006).
• Results validate historical mineralization in the Central Zone and demonstrate a north‑northwest extension of the collapse‑breccia corridor, expanding the known footprint of the zinc‑gallium‑germanium system.

Key Details

• Program Overview: 7 drill holes (KAP‑25‑001A to KAP‑25‑006), total depth ≈ 843 m, targeting verification of historic Zn intercepts, northward step‑outs, and Ga/Ge distribution.
• Central Zone Highlights
• Hole KAP‑25‑001B: 17.72 % Zn, 228 ppm Ga, 294 ppm Ge over 5.60 m; core interval 28.26 % Zn, 362 ppm Ga, 473 ppm Ge over 3.45 m.
• Hole KAP‑25‑002: 14.27 % Zn, 215 ppm Ga, 159 ppm Ge over 5.00 m (incl. 21.10 % Zn, 382 ppm Ga, 363 ppm Ge over 1.20 m).
• North Zone Extensions
• Hole KAP‑25‑005: 4.57 % Zn, 68 ppm Ga, 87 ppm Ge over 9.40 m; additional 4.23 % Zn, 83 ppm Ga, 62 ppm Ge over 2.15 m.
• Hole KAP‑25‑006: Broad mineralization 8.28 % Zn, 61 ppm Ga, 80 ppm Ge over 16.15 m; also 5.11 % Zn, 23 ppm Ga, 41 ppm Ge over 5.50 m.
• Other Notable Intercepts
• Hole KAP‑25‑001A: 29.58 % Zn, 245 ppm Ga, 397 ppm Ge over 2.00 m (near‑surface).
• Hole KAP‑25‑003: 16.46 % Zn, 103 ppm Ga, 247 ppm Ge over 2.10 m.
• Geological Interpretation: Results support a hybrid MVT/Carbonate Replace Deposit model with collapse breccia corridors acting as fluid pathways; Ga and Ge co‑enrichment indicates potential critical‑metal by‑product value.
• QA/QC: Core recovery >90 % in mineralized zones; samples processed by ALS Geochemistry (ISO/IEC 17025); standards and blanks inserted at ~5 % each with no material QA issues identified.
• Next Steps: Company will model results to refine subsurface understanding; select samples slated for detailed mineralogical analysis of Zn, Ga, and Ge host minerals.

Notable Quotes

“The results of this year’s drilling confirms that KAP hosts a zinc‑rich system with strong gallium and germanium co‑enrichment,” said Paul Sparkes, CEO of Integral Metals. “We’ve successfully reproduced historical zinc mineralization while demonstrating associated gallium and germanium in the host rock, and we find this to be a compelling combination for both critical‑metal exposure and near‑term exploration growth.”
