Finlay Minerals Ltd. announced results from the 2022 exploration program conducted on its ATTY Property ("ATTY") which included trenching at the Attycelley Target, and mapping and rock sampling at the KEM Target: Highlights included Trench 2 on the Attycelley Target assaying 32.4 g/t silver ("Ag"), 0.34 % copper ("Cu"), 1.07 % lead ("Pb"), 2.98 % zinc ("Zn"), and 0.04 g/t gold ("Au") over 11 metres, ("m") including 1 metre grading 198 g/t Ag, 1.62 % Cu, 8.23 % Pb, 0.88 % Zn, and 0.18 g/t Au. Attycelley Target –The Attycelley target is an east-northeast-trending, steeply south-dipping, low-sulphidation epithermal vein system along a similar trending fault/shear. The structure exhibits intense oxidation and clay alteration associated with meter-scale quartz-carbonate-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-pyrite veins.

The Attycelley target is east-northeast of the KEM target.Mapping and sampling have demonstrated mineralization over 500 m in length striking to the east and dipping steeply to the south. Based on past and 2022 geological mapping, the Attycelley target coincides with a structure mapped for 2,200 m along strike, with potential for mineralization along its entire length. The structure appears to extend west-southwest to the KEM target.

In 2022, mineralization along the shear zone was exposed and sampled in three (3) hand-dug trenches, the extents of which were limited by overburden cover; mineralization in all three trenches is open laterally. Trench 1 was sampled across 5 m, and the first two (0-2 m) samples were mineralized within sheared, chloritized, and oxidized volcanic rocks and averaged 11.3 g/t Ag, 0.07 % Cu, 0.21 % Pb, 0.70 % Zn, and 0.38 g/t Au. Mineralization in quartz-carbonate veins included malachite stains, blebby chalcopyrite, and pods of galena.

Trench 2 was the western and longest trench. The trench was 11 m long. Sampling was done on 1 m intervals and included 1 m (7-8 m) grading 198 g/t Ag, 1.62 % Cu, 8.23 % Pb, 0.88 % Zn, and 0.18 g/t Au, within 11 m grading 32.4 g/t Ag, 0.34 % Cu, 1.07 % Pb, 2.98 % Zn, and 0.04 g/t Au.

Trench 3 was sampled across 2 m of sheared, chloritized oxidized volcanic rock, with calcite-quartz veining mineralized by pyrite, malachite, chalcopyrite, and blebby galena. The 2 m interval averaged 9.3 g/t Ag, 0.11 % Cu, 0.48 % Pb, 0.35 % Zn, and 0.11 g/t Au. Trenches 1 and 3 were sampled using a typical channel saw along the desired length with 1 m continuous sample intervals.

Trench 2 was channel sampled by chipping the heavily altered and oxidized rock with a shovel and hammer and sampling composite 1 m sample intervals. KEM Target – The KEM target consists of a multi-oriented mineralized vein/breccia swarm underlain by a deep high chargeability anomaly as indicated by induced polarization (IP) surveys. KEM is considered a porphyry Cu-Au target due to its characteristic alteration and vein assemblages.

The occurrence lies 1.8 km north of the Kemess North Trend which hosts Centerra Gold's Kemess Underground and Kemess East porphyry deposits. The Kemess East deposit is truncated at its eastern margin by a northwest-trending fault which extends onto the ATTY property and west of the KEM target area. The 2022 exploration program expanded the extent of the known mineralization and further supports the potential for a porphyry system at the KEM Target.

Alteration mapping north of historic drilling showed a gradational increase in the intensity of propylitic alteration northward, with exposures of weak potassic alteration assemblages in the far north. Multiphase quartz-carbonate-chalcopyrite-malachite-pyrite veins range in thickness from 5 cm – 2.0 m, and trend subparallel to topography for > 1 kilometre. The 2022 KEM rock samples, of which there were 31 samples, consisted of mineralized veins, breccias and altered country rock.

Samples yielded up to 0.61 g/t Au, 49.5 g/t Ag, and 1.10 % Cu. Average assay values for the rock samples were 0.11 g/t Au, 0.29 % Cu and 14.9 g/t Ag. Conclusions & Next Steps – The KEM represents a Cu-Ag porphyry target and combined with the Attycelley low-sulphidation epithermal vein target, both now have drill-ready targets for discovery.

With the purchase of the adjacent ATG Property, the ATTY also now includes the Wrich target which is south of the South Takla target which hosts a large Cu-Au surface geochemical anomaly on the Joy Property. The ATTY property contains intriguing targets with great potential for near-term discovery.
