High-Grade Replacement Sedex Discovery Highlights Significant Potential Along New 1.2 km Trend at InZinc's Indy Sedex Project, Central BC

High-grade "Replacement" discovery at Indy project signals potential for Tier-1 scale in British Columbia.

Executive Summary

The most recent news (March 11, 2026) announces a significant geological reinterpretation of the B-9 Zone at the Indy Sedex project. Previously viewed as standard Sedex mineralization, the B-9 Apex Zone is now recognized as "replacement" mineralization. This is a critical distinction as replacement processes are associated with the world’s highest-grade and largest Sedex deposits, such as the Red Dog mine. Recent drilling confirmed exceptional grades, including 20.1% Zn, 1.7% Pb, and 9.5 g/t Ag over 3.2 m. Furthermore, the B-9 trend has been extended to 2.2 km in total length, with 1.2 km of that trend remaining completely untested.

Material Impact

The impact is Material - Positive. While the high-grade drill results (20.1% Zn) were technically released in November 2025, the March 2026 update provides the geological "why" that justifies a higher valuation. - Geological De-risking: Identifying the system as a "replacement" type suggests the potential for much thicker and higher-grade "stacked" zones than a typical distal Sedex deposit. - Scale Potential: Doubling the trend length to 2.2 km while leaving over 50% (1.2 km) untested provides a clear path to resource growth. - Infrastructure Advantage: Unlike many northern Canadian projects, Indy is located in central BC with proximity to rail, road, and smelter infrastructure, significantly lowering the "economic hurdle" for any future discovery.

Company Overview

InZinc is a Vancouver-based explorer focused on the 100%-owned Indy Sedex Project in central BC. The project covers 200 sq. km and a 30 km long trend of prospective strata analogous to the Selwyn Basin. The flagship B-9 zone has now been defined over 1 km of strike with mineralization starting from surface to 130m depth.
