Gunsynd (GUN ) says a compilation of historical exploration data has outlined a new high-grade silver, zinc and lead target at the Bear Twit Project in the Mackenzie Mining District, Northwest Territories, Canada. The company holds a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the project.
Gunsynd engaged Critical Discoveries to compile, verify, and digitise all available historical exploration data across the Bear Twit Project area.
This work integrated legacy data into a modern geospatial database to advance the project.
It identified the Enyo showing, where 2013 rock, silt and soil assays confirmed high grade mineralisation: rock samples returned up to 651 g/t silver, 54.32% zinc and 58.12% lead.
Soil samples graded up to 16.8 g/t silver, 1.45% zinc and 0.84% lead, defining a combined anomaly about 1.5 kilometres by 0.5 kilometres.
Sampling methods included grab, chip and channel rock samples where mineralisation was observed. Soil samples were collected along contour lines on 50 metre spacing from pits typically 15-30 centimetres deep, targeting the B-horizon where possible.
“These additional assay results from the Enyo Showing are encouraging and clearly confirm significant lead-zinc-silver mineralisation, with compelling upside for previously untested critical metals copper, gallium and germanium,” said Gunsynd’s Executive Chairman Hamish Harris.
“We look forward to progressing Bear Twit toward drill-ready status.”

Grades peaking at 651 g/t silver and above 50% for zinc and lead, coupled with a kilometre-scale soil footprint, point to a robust polymetallic system at Bear Twit. Bringing the database work into drill targeting should convert the Enyo anomaly into specific pads and permit applications in the near term.
