Minco Starts Drilling on Moate Prospecting Licence

Aug 31, 2021

31 August 2021 – Minco Exploration plc (“MNX” or “Minco”) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has started on its wholly-owned Prospecting Licence 1229 in County Westmeath to test a zinc-lead target.

The target, located to the east of Athlone, was defined following a detailed review of historic exploration results and more recent drilling by Minco. These data have defined a geological setting interpreted as analogous to that hosting the Tynagh mine (11.8 Mt @ 11.5% Zn+Pb) 45 km to the south-west.

Peter McParland, Minco’s CEO, commented that “We are very excited to get this new drill hole started and look forward to up-dating shareholders on progress during the coming weeks”.

Competent Person

Technical information in this news release has been approved by EurGeol John A. Clifford, P.Geo, Minco’s Director – Exploration and “Competent Person” as defined under the 2017 Pan-European Reporting Standard.

About Minco Exploration plc

Minco is also participating in a joint venture with Boliden on Licence 3373 (Kells), contiguous to the west of Licence 1440R, where Minco can earn up to a 75% interest; and in a joint venture with Boliden on ten Prospecting Licences in County Galway (Slieve Dart) where Minco can earn up to a 50% interest.
