Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 21, 2023) - York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK) (OTC Pink: YORKF) (FSE: 5DE0) (the "Company" or "York") is pleased to announce that the Company has begun mobilization to initiate helicopter-supported diamond drilling at the Pinnacle Lake Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") target on its York Harbour Copper-Zinc project in Newfoundland, Canada.
The Phase 5 Diamond Drilling campaign commenced at the A Zone North Target and then proceeded to the K Zone area. To date, nine drill holes, totalling 1,764 m, have been completed in the latest drilling campaign. The Pinnacle Lake and No. 4 Brook targets both lack historic drill-testing but possess significant upside potential to find new copper-zinc-silver mineralization that could substantially increase the footprint of high-grade VMS mineralization within the property.

The Company has engaged a highly experienced drilling contractor and assembled a skilled technical team to oversee the drilling campaign. The use of helicopter-supported drilling will enable York Harbour Metals to access remote and difficult-to-reach areas, increasing the chances of discovering new mineralized zones. The Company's decision to explore outside the main mine area showcases its commitment to identifying and assessing the full potential of the property.
In addition to the drilling campaign, York Harbour Metals has also invested in advanced geophysical and geochemical techniques to enhance the precision of its exploration activities. These innovative methods, combined with the expertise of the Company's technical team, will help to guide future exploration and development work on the property. As York Harbour Metals continues to expand its exploration efforts, the Company remains dedicated to creating long-term value for its shareholders and stakeholders through the responsible development of Newfoundland's mineral resources.
