VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 19,
2022 /CNW/ - Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL)
(OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on its Silver Hope
Property, in central B.C.
The planned 2,000m drill program
will evaluate some of the high-priority, undrilled targets within
the Equity East and Allin Zones. The Equity East and Allin Targets
are combined geochemical, and geophysical anomalies strongly
associated with the Goosly Intrusive Suite Complex (GIC).
(Click HERE to view the Silver
Hope Property with the Equity East and Allin Zones and the Main
Trend's Gaul Zone). The former Equity Silver open-pit and
underground mine is located on the western edge of the magnetic
high anomaly which is interpreted as the GIC.
Follow-up drilling in the Gaul Zone along the Main Trend will
target down dip of the mineralized zone to twin some 1987 drill
holes that were drilled prior to Finlay's ownership and for which
the Company is missing assay data. The Company will also test south
of SH21-09 which intersected 76.57 metres
("m"), from 80.23m, grading 0.45%
copper ("Cu"), 14.6 g/t silver ("Ag"), and 0.14 g/t gold
("Au") and which continues to be open to the south and
down dip.
Robert Brown, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Finlay, states:
"The necessary funding by Finlay is in place for the
Silver Hope exploration program. The program has high impact
exploration potential on the previously untested Equity East and
Allin Targets. Silver Hope drilling is targeting both Equity
Silver-type Cu-Au-Ag and porphyry copper - molybdenum-type
mineralized targets."
Finlay also announces the staking of a further 5,785 hectares
contiguous to and northwest of the Silver Hope claim block.

overlaying the Airborne Magnetics Geophysical Survey.)
These new claims cover an area, recently exposed by logging, of
altered volcanic rocks with Cu mineralization. The newly
staked claims also cover a favorable magnetic high trend which
hosts the Sam showing where past drilling has intersected broad
intervals of Zn-Ag mineralization. Samples have been
submitted for analysis.
