Field Exploration and Drill Program Commences On The Regal Gold and Silver Project

VANCOUVER - Affinity Metals Corp. has commenced the 2020 field exploration program at its flagship Regal Project encompassing 8,800 hectares of the northern end of the prolific Kootenay Arc approximately 25 km northeast of Revelstoke, British Columbia.

The exploration program will focus on several key areas of the property and will consist of further geological mapping and associated geochemical sampling as well as up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling. The initial program may be expanded depending on ongoing prospecting and sampling being conducted in previously unexplored areas of the property.

The drilling in the Allco area is designed to test part of a large, several kilometer long northwest-southeast fault/contact that separates limestones from argillites. Previous 2019 prospecting and surface sampling in the vicinity of several past producing historic adits resulted in the discovery of several high grade silver and gold surface outcrops. Drilling in this same area last fall resulted in a significant new silver discovery being made with drill hole #10 intersecting 11.10 meters of 143.29 g/t silver including 0.55 meters of 2612.0 g/t silver. This intersection also carried high grade zinc and lead with some copper. Mineralized intersections within the drill core consisted mostly of argentiferous galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite hosted within quartz veins and breccias.

The Allco portion of the 2020 exploration program will focus on expanding the hole #10 silver discovery through step out drill holes and detailed surface mapping and will also attempt to test the continuity of the mineralized structure further along the fault/contact.

Drilling is planned to test a very large geophysical anomaly defined by previously flown Z-TEM (Geotech Ltd.) as well as overlapping SG3 Acoustic EM (Earth Sciences Services Corp.). The anomaly is located between the Allco and Regal areas of the property in an area in which several major fault structures converge.

This geophysical anomaly potentially represents a significant "engine" for the regional geological system exhibiting high grade polymetallic veins and enriched silver-lead-zinc soil anomalies distributed over a several kilometer trend through the past producing Allco and Regal areas of the property.

Robert Edwards, CEO, said, "We are excited to get back on the property to build on the successes of the past exploration with our 2019 silver discovery and also to now drill test this substantial geophysical target. The timing of this Regal program really couldn't be better coinciding with the gold and silver markets showing incredible bullishness."

Affinity presently holds two properties in British Columbia as well as five properties located near Timmins, Ontario. Affinity is advancing both the Regal and West Timmins Gold projects.
