Metallum Resources: Major development milestone as Mining Lease granted over the Pick Lake deposit

Press Release

Metallum Resources Inc. (TSXV:MZN; OTCQB:MTLLF) (“Metallum” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a major step forward in the future development of the Superior Lake Zinc Project (Superior Lake or the Project), as the Ontario Ministry of Mines has issued Mining Leases over the Pick Lake Claim area (Image 1 and Appendix 1).

The Mining Lease claims are valid for a period of 21 years. The conversion of these claim from exploration claims to mining lease are an essential and major step forward regarding the future development of the Project. Without the conversion of these claims into mining leases future production cannot occur.

The Pick Lake deposit contains 100% of the mineralization incorporated in the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) released by the Company last year. The DFS outlined approximately 70,000 tpa of zinc concentrate and 5,300 tpa of copper concentrate (9-year mine life) of production, at an All-In Sustaining Operating cost of just C$0.51 / lb, ranking the Project in lowest quartile operating costs for zinc Projects globally.
