Integral Metals Corp. Intersects High-Grade Zinc with Gallium and Germanium at the KAP Project, Northwest Territories
Integral Metals Corp. announced assay results from the seven diamond drill holes completed during the 2025 program at the KAP Project in the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada. Drilling successfully confirmed the presence of zinc (Zn) mineralization with associated gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge) enrichment within sphalerite-bearing breccia horizons. Hole KAP-25-001B tested the Central Zone of the Main Showing and intersected 17.72% Zn, 228 ppm Ga, and 294 ppm Ge over 5.60 m, including a high-grade core of 28.26% Zn, 362 ppm Ga, and 473 ppm Ge over 3.45 m, verifying historical shallow mineralization in the Central Zone. Hole KAP-25 -002 tested the Central Zone and returned 14.27% Zn, 215 ppm Ga, and 159 ppm Ge over 5.00 m, including 1.20 m of 21.10% Zn, 382 ppm Ga, and 363 ppm Ge. Hole KAP-25 the005 tested the North Zone extension of the Main Showing and returned 4.57% Zn, 68 ppm Ga, and 87 ppm Ge over 9.40 m, validating the historical step-out from the Central Zone. Hole K AP-25-006 tested the furthest North Zone step-out and delivered 8.28% Zn, 61 ppm Ga, and 80 ppm Ge over 16.15 m, representing one of the broadest Zn-Ga-Ge intervals drilled to date and confirming expansion potential in the North Zone beyond historical limits. All reported intervals are apparent thicknesses; true widths have not yet been determined. Program Summary: The 2025 drill program was designed to (1) verify historical zinc intercepts at the core of the Central Zone of the Main showing, (2) test a northerly extension in the North Zone of the Main Showing, (3) evaluate the distribution of gallium and germanium within sphalerite, and (4) test structural and stratigraphic controls along the Manetoe-style carbonate platform. A total of seven NQ-sized diamond drill holes (KAP-25-001A to KAP-25-006) were completed across 843 meters. Holes 001A, 001B, 002, and 003 targeted the Central Zone, while holes 004, 005, and 006 tested northerly extensions in the North Zone. The program successfully reproduced high-grade Zn, Ga, and Ge mineralization documented in historical work, and expanded across the Central Zone; step-out drilling demonstrated that mineralization continues north-northwest of historical hole F96-05, validating and enlarging the collapse breccia corridor in the North Zone; multi-element assays clarified the distribution of gallium and Germanium within sphalerites across the system; and new geological observations, including collapse breccias, recrystallization fronts, and permeabilityrasts within the Manetoe and Landry formations, have refined the structural and stratigraphic controls providing ongoing exploration. Collectively, the textures, geochemistry, and vertical and lateral variations observed in the recent drill core support an emerging hybrid MVT and Carbonate Replace Deposit (CRD) model, where earlier basinal-brine mineralization is locally overprinted and upgraded by hottest, metal-rich hydrothermal fluids, improving both the grade profile and exploration potential of the system. Drill Hole Results: KAP-25-001A (Main Showing; Central Zone): The first hole of the program was collared in the Central Zone of the Main showsing, and intersected mineralization starting near the surface, from 8.00 m to 10.00 m (2.00 m), which averaged 29.58% Zn, 245 ppm Ga, and 397 ppm Ge. The casing was sunk into strongly mineralized dolosted into strongly mineralized dololosted in the Central Zone.
