TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 18, 2020 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. ("Murchison" or the "Company") (TSXV:MUR) announces that it proposes to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to $200,000 (the "Private Placement") as detailed below. The proceeds will be used for exploration at its HPM property in Quebec.
The Company proposes to issue up to 2,285,715 flow-through common shares (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.0875 per FT Share. The FT Shares will qualify as a "flow through share" for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and Quebec Tax Act.

About the HPM Project (100%)
The HPM project consists of 109 contiguous claims covering 5,826 ha (58.3 km2) located within the Manicouagan Metamorphic Complex, 275 km north-east of Baie-Comeau and 135 km south of Fermont. Close access is possible via an all-weather provincial road/gravel road.
The area was first recognized in 1989 by Falconbridge for its nickel/copper mineralization potential. A total of thirty-two (32) drill holes (6,469 metres) were completed in 2001-2002 (Falconbridge) and 2008 (Murchison) and confirmed the presence of high-grade nickel/copper/cobalt mineralization. Drilling intersected numerous high-grade nickel/copper/cobalt intervals in massive, semi-massive and disseminated sulphides made up of pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite.
The Barre de Fer prospect is an electromagnetic (EM) conductor which extends over 550 m. Nickel, copper and cobalt mineralization has been traced by diamond drilling for approximately 300 metres along strike and to a depth of about 280 metres. The mineralization remains open laterally and at depth. The best intersection showed 43.2 metres averaging 1.74% Ni, 0.90% Cu, and 0.1% Co (5.5% Cu equivalent). A second prospect called the PYC EM conductor was traced for 1,400 metres and tested with a single hole which intersected 15.3 metres @ 0.28% Ni, 0.14% Cu 0.06% Co (0.84% Cu equivalent).
There are 24 unexplored airborne EM anomalies which require follow up with mapping, Beep Mat ground geophysics and sampling.
