Wayka's Kelly Zone: Channel 15 Returns 0.23 g/t Gold Over 13.0 Metres, Including 0.36 g/t Gold Over 4.0 Metres

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2022 / Lucky Minerals Inc.(TSXV:LKY)(OTC PINK:LKMNF)(FRA:LKY) ("Lucky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it continues geological mapping, trenching and channel sampling at the Wayka epithermal gold discovery at its 100% owned 55,000 hectare Fortuna Property ("Fortuna") in Ecuador.

Wayka lies along an elevated ridge that trends northeast with elevations ranging from approximately 3,600 metres to 3,700 metres above sea level and is bound to the East by the El Buitre Porphyry and to the West by the Emma Porphyry.

Kelly Zone (North Wayka) Channel 15 returns 0.19 g/t gold over 19 metres, including 0.23 g/t gold over 13 metres.

Channel 15 (C-15) has returned strong anomalous gold values within a silicified breccia zone comprised of subrounded to subangular fragments of dacite, meta-granite and schist. It lies within the Kelly Zone which is located approximately 950 metres north of trench T-5 (Discovery Zone). See C-15 assay table below.

Approximately 30 metres southeast of C-15 and at approximately 3,635 metres elevation lies trench 12 (T-12), which returned an average of 1.21 g/t gold over 10 metres (Please see news release October 25, 2021). Other channels in the Kelly Zone, C-24 and C-25 are in silicified hydrothermal breccias and returned anomalous gold.

Channel C-15 lies at approximately 3,623 metres elevation and includes a 19 metre long channel in silicified breccias hosted in meta-granites which are interpreted to be elongated and have a northeast trend which is similar to the structural orientations interpretated from surface work at the Discovery zone.

Francois Perron President and CEO states "Recently the team has been working in the Kelly Zone where there is better outcrop exposure. The objective is to continue to identify mineralized feeders and to broaden our understanding of the structural controls. Channel 15 does exactly that. We have recently exposed another structure of scale. Given that we are high up in the system, every mineralized structure in this context is a strong target. With this work, the team is continuing to increase the number of surface confirmed mineralized targets."

Fortuna - Next Steps

Wayka

Current field work is focused on surface trenching around the Discovery and Kelly zones. There are another 31 assays pending from this ongoing field work.

QA/QC Protocols

All exploration work is completed following QA/QC protocols and include the insertion of a coarse blank, a standard and duplicate sample on every batch of 25 samples.

Samples are being submitted to ALS Chemex Labs in Quito for preparation work, and the analytical work is completed at their lab facility in Lima, Peru. ALS Chemex is an ISO certified and accredited laboratory. Results will be released as they are received.
