Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2016) -
Vendetta Mining Corp. (TSXV: VTT) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce
further high grade drill results from the 2016 program at the Pegmont
Lead-Zinc Project in Queensland, Australia. The last holes in the 2016
resource development program continued the previous work in Zone 5 and on
the Zone 2-3 'Z' fold.
Zone 5 Highlights:
PVRD052A: 14.77 metres of 11.91% Pb+Zn (5.46% Pb, 6.45% Zn);
and 4.35 metres of 11.85% Pb+Zn (5.01% Pb, 6.84% Zn); and
and 5.05 metres of 10.32% Pb+Zn (4.52% Pb, 5.80% Zn)
Zone 2 - 3 Highlights:
PVRD035B: 14.73 metres of 12.41% Pb+Zn (9.02% Pb, 3.39% Zn);
and 10.32 metres of 11.94% Pb+Zn (9.64% Pb, 2.31% Zn); and
PVRD053: 7.49 metres of 11.51% Pb+Zn (8.10% Pb, 3.41% Zn)
A full summary of the lead-zinc assay results including true widths is
provided in Table 1 on page 3.
Michael Williams, Vendetta's President and CEO commented 'The progress at
the Pegmont project has been significant. We have successfully confirmed
the shallow potential of the Burke Hinge Zone, discovered a high grade fold
between Zones 2 & 3, we are able to successfully target mineralization in
Zone 5 and in doing so have validated the geological model of zinc grade
increasing to the west. We look forward to receipt of the metallurgical
test work, updating the NI 43-101 resource which we intend to release early
next year and the commencement of the 2017 program in Q1.'
Zone 5 Drilling
The Company continued resource development drilling in Zone 5, an
underground target, comprising 3 known stacked Lenses; A, B and C. Lens B
is the most significant, with Lens C becoming increasingly valuable as
drilling moves to the South-West. Mineralization in Lens A is sporadic,
however grades also appear to be improving to the South-West.
- Drill hole PVRD052A was drilled 40 m along strike of the high-grade
step-out hole PVRD017 (4.56 m @ 5.45% Pb, 10.15% Zn), it successfully
intersected Lens B and C. PVRD052A, was the most southwestern hole
drilled during the 2016 program and importantly zinc grades continued
to exceeded lead.
- Drill hole PVRD051 targeted Anticline C but didn't intersect the host
lithology, interpretation in this area is ongoing.
- In drill hole PVRD050 excessive deviation caused drilling difficulties
and resulted in the hole being terminated before target depth; it did
however, intersect low grade mineralization which is interpreted to be
Lens A.
- Drill hole PVRD054 was drilled to intersect the steep northern limb of
Syncline C, however, the hole path didn't flatten as expected. The hole
did intersect two mineralized horizons, interpreted to be Lenses C and
possibly a new fourth Lens.
Zone 2 - 3 Drilling
The Company continued to test the newly identified high-grade 'Z' fold
between Zones 2 and 3, drilling a second section located 350 m along strike
to the north east of the previously announced hole PVRD046 (11.0 m @ 7.84%
Pb, 3.18% Zn) which intersected the lower fold in Zone 3.
The Zone 2 -3 'Z' fold is a site of structural thickening and elevated
grades. Up dip from the 'Z' fold the mineralized host is structurally
thinned over a distance of about 50 to 75 m, before mineralization of
greater than 5 m thickens returns in the Zone 2 open pit target area. The
Zone 2 'Z' fold hinge is interpreted to be a flat lying shoot,
approximately 50 to 60 m wide, with a total strike potential of over 700 m.
- Drill hole PVRD053 successfully targeted the upper fold in Zone 2. Only
one historic drill hole is interpreted to be in this structural
position, PMR091 (6 m @ 10.19% Pb, 2.81% Zn). PVRD053 will be extended
during the next program to test the over turned limb of the 'Z' and on
into the flat dipping portion of Zone 3.
- Drill hole PVRD035B successfully targeted the lower Zone 3 portion of
the fold. It is now understood that historic holes PGD023 (18.8 m at
9.48% Pb, 3.53% Zn) and PMRD124 (9.54 m at 9.25% Pb, 3.07% Zn)
intersected the lower portion of the 'Z' fold in Zone 3.
- Drill holes PVRD048 and PVRD049 tested the limits of Zone 3, near the
position where Zone 3 is intersected by the Amphibolite Dyke. PVRD049
intersected thin mineralization interpreted to be on a fold limb.
PVRD048 failed to intersect significant mineralization however it may
be extended in the future.
Other Activities
As part of the 2016 drilling program a total of 17 historic drill holes
were down hole surveyed using a true north seeking gyroscope, improving the
confidence in the positon of this data. To date a total of 30 historic
holes have been re-logged.
Metallurgical test work at ALS Metallurgy in Burnie, Tasmania is ongoing.
Results are expected early in 2017 and will be released when they are
finalized.
Other ongoing activities include the interpretation of the recent drill
data at Pegmont. The Company expects to deliver an updated NI 43-101
resource estimate, including for the first time Zone 5 and the Burke Hinge
Zone early in 2017. Planning of the 2017 program is progressing and will
include continued resource development drilling in Zone 5 and on the Zone 2
- 3 'Z' fold as well as performing a surface EM survey over the recently
discovered copper target, see Vendetta news release 19th October 2016.

*True thickness estimate is based on three dimensional geological modeling,
except where indicated as an estimate.
#Drill intersections are summarized using a combined 1% lead plus zinc
grade, over a 1 m minimum down hole intersection length, higher grade
intervals included are reported at a 5% lead plus zinc grade.
Notes on Drilling and Assay QA/QC
The drilling at Zone 5 involved drilling RC pre-collars using a 5.75 inch
diameter face sampling bit to depth prior to casing and continuing the hole
in HQ2 diamond core. Diamond core samples were taken on nominal 1 m lengths
but varied to match geological contacts. Samples of the core are obtained
using a diamond saw to half cut the core, if the hole is to be included in
metallurgical test work it is then halved again. This was performed to
provide sufficient sample for metallurgical test work while retaining a
permanent core record.
Field duplicate samples were taken and blanks and commercially prepared
certified reference materials (standards) were added into the sample
sequence for every hole submitted. These were analyzed by the Company and
no issues were noted with analytical accuracy or precision.
Samples used for the results described herein were prepared and analyzed at
ALS Laboratory Group in Townsville, Queensland. Analysis was undertaken
using a four acid digest and ICP (ALS method: ME-ICP61 for Pb, Zn, Ag, Fe,
Mn, Cd and S) with over limit (>10,000 ppm lead and zinc and >100 ppm
silver) high grade samples being read with an atomic absorption
spectrometer (AAS), (ALS methods: Pb-OG62, Zn-OG62 and Ag-OG62).
Drill hole collar positions have been surveyed by a licensed surveyor. Down
hole surveys were undertaken using a true north seeking gyroscope with
stations every 6 or 10 m.
All HQ2 diamond core is orientated using digital core orientation systems
and this data is incorporated into the 3D interpretations. Assay intervals
shown in Table 1 are down hole intervals, and the true thickness noted are
based on 3D interpretations of the host lithology, structure, and
mineralization.
About The Pegmont Lead Zinc Project
Pegmont is a stratiform, Broken Hill-Type deposit that outcrops with an
overall shallow dip to the south east and is hosted in a magnetite-rich
banded iron formation within high grade metamorphic rocks. The project
consists of three granted mining leases and two exploration permits that
cover an area of approximately 3,468 ha. The current NI 43-101 mineral
