Vancouver - Vendetta Mining Corp. (VTT-TSX: V) ('Vendetta' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the drill results from the 2021 Zone 5 Exploration drilling program on the Pegmont Lead-Zinc project in Queensland

This program was designed to follow up along strike from an intersection in an exploration hole completed late 2020 as part of a Queensland Government Collaborative Exploration Initiative, one of those holes PVRD196, located in Zone 5, intersected 8.42 m @ 7.07% Pb, 5.98% Zn and 9 g/t Ag between 161.10 and 169.52 m down hole, outside of the current Mineral Resource, with an estimated true thickness of 7.0 m.

The first two holes, PVRD199 and 200 did not deviate as expected, from the same drill pad PVRD201 intersected the target as expected. Five holes (PVRD202 to 206) were drilled on the next drill pad, located 145 m further to the west. PVRD202 unexpectedly intersected mineralisation immediately below the amphibolite dyke in the RC pre-collar. The amphibolite dyke is a sub-horizontal sheet interpreted to be post mineralisation, this intersection is however the first on the project with banded ironstone in contact with the amphibolite. PVRD202, 203 and 204 intersected their targets as expected with PVRD202 intersecting the upper and lower limbs of a targeted fold. PVRD205 didn't deviate as anticipated and failed to intersect the target. PVRD206 intersected a low-grade attenuated limb at the target depth. The third drill and final drill pad was located approximately 300 m to the west of the first pad and is located on the eastern edge of the current Mineral Resource in Zone 5. Here PVRD207 and 208 intersected the target as expected, with PVRD207 intersecting the upper and lower limbs of the targeted fold.

Michael Williams, Vendetta's President and CEO, commented, 'This program has further demonstrated that we are able to successfully target the new Zone 5 interpretation. The intersections from these three drill pads will require follow up drilling to enable these intersections to be brought into the next Mineral Resource update, this drilling will be resource development drilling in the future. Being the upper portions of Zone 5, they should greatly assist the inclusion of Zone 5 into the mining inventory.'

Preparation for 2022 Exploration Drill Program

In addition to restarting the resource development drilling program on the Pegmont Pb-Zn deposit the Company is planning on drilling two exploration areas; Killer Bore and the Wills Zone (previously known as the Bonanza Lode).

Ten drill sites have been pegged at the Killer Bore high grade zinc project. Heritage clearance will now be obtained in preparation for drilling in early 2022. The holes are designed to confirm and expand the historic intersections in three holes: AND041 3.0 m @ 15.44% Zn, ANP418 4 m @ 8.26% Zn and DDH01KB001 4.0 m @ 10% Zn.

At the Wills Zone the Company has pegged five drill sites and will now seek heritage clearance on those drill sites. The planned drilling is following up on historic intersections in diamond core hole PMD037 5.0 m (203 to 208 m) @ 3.06% Pb, 3.69% Zn.
