Operational Update
Commencement of drill campaign at Toral
Europa Metals, the European focused lead, zinc and silver developer, is pleased to announce that
the approximate 7,000m drilling campaign on the Company’s wholly-owned Toral Zn-Pb-Ag Project
(the “Toral Project” or “Toral”), in the León Province, north-west Spain, with its partner, Denarius
Metals Corp. (TSXV: DSLV; OTCQB: DNSRF) (“Denarius Metals”) has commenced.
The first rig arrived on site and commenced drilling during March with the second rig expected to
arrive on site this week which will then commence drilling after Easter. The drill campaign is being
conducted by the contractor, Explomin Perforaciones UE S.L. (“Explomin”).
Drilling campaign
As part of the initial twelve month work programme agreed with Denarius Metals the current drilling
campaign of 11 planned holes for a total of up to 7,000m, will principally involve a combination of
confirmatory and infill drilling within the project’s known indicated resource area outlined to date. The
results will then be applied to commission an updated independent mineral resource estimate later
in the year.
Other works
The Toral Project team has also been busy with on-site works with a core racking system being
installed at Europa Metals’ offices to handle the anticipated increase in core from the new drilling as
well as storing our historic core more effectively.
Work on our planned mining licence application is progressing well alongside desk top studies
evaluating other potential surrounding exploration permit areas which are expected to be completed
over the next 3 to 6 months.
The Company notes that the initial work programme forms the major part of the €1.8m (approximately
US$1.95m) twelve month JV budget agreed recently with Denarius Metals, rather than the US$1.8m
figure misquoted in the Company’s announcement of 22 March 2023.
Commenting today, Myles Campion, Executive Chairman and acting CEO of Europa Metals
said:
“I am very pleased that our latest drill campaign has commenced so quickly post finalisation of the
JV budget; it represents a great first step in our partnership with Denarius Metals. Two rigs onsite
will allow us both efficiency and flexibility in our programme of resource infill targeted drilling, the
results of which will then flow into an updated resource estimate.
I look forward to providing further updates as the drill results are generated in due course.”
