Key Extracts from the Company’s audited Report and Accounts are set out below:
Chairman and Interim CEO’s statement
During the financial year ended 30 June 2022 and subsequently, Europa Metals Ltd (“Europa Metals” or the
“Company”) has conducted additional highly successful drilling campaigns and metallurgy work, with the
results from our 2021 infill drill campaign facilitating an update to the independent Indicated resource estimate
for our wholly owned Toral Project, effective as of 14 September 2021, to approximately 5.9 Mt @ 7.1% ZnEq
(including Pb credits) within a total resource of approximately 20 Mt @ 6.3% ZnEq (including Pb credits). This
represented a substantial, approximate 55%, increase in the indicated resource component and the updated
resource estimate can be utilised in calculations for feasibility studies and to support future mine planning.
The 2021 drill campaign targeted the upper more siliceous levels of the resource at Toral, which exhibits a
lower grade and thinner horizon than the lower carbonate facies. The campaign yielded some tremendous
results with hole TOD-029 intersecting 20.45m @ 2.68% ZnEq(Pb+Ag) and hole TOD-034 intersecting 14.85m
@ 8.36% ZnEq(Pb+Ag).
The campaign also successfully obtained a bulk sample from some of the daughter holes from holes TOD-
029 and TOD-034 which were submitted to Wardell Armstrong International Limited (“WAI”) for further
metallurgical evaluation. As part of this testwork, we also engaged TOMRA GmbH in Germany to complete a
programme of X-Ray transmission (“XRT”) ore sorting work. Previous programmes had yielded positive results
from such siliceous material illustrating the ability for the grade of this zone to potentially be upgraded.
The results from the ore sorting testwork were most reassuring, with the bulk siliceous sample showing an
approximate 43% original mass rejection of waste and >94% recovery of metals. Carbonate sampling also
returned positive results, improving on previous testwork with high 90% metal recoveries. This work serves to
continue to support the thesis of utilising ore sorting as a pathway for leveraging the resource and the results
will assist our planned future engineering studies. Following the year end, the Company announced further
highly encouraging metallurgical testwork results for Toral, including locked cycle flotation testwork, in respect
of sample material from both the upper siliceous zone and the lower carbonate zone.
During the first half of 2022, the Company completed a short geotechnical drill programme involving 5 shallow
holes for approximately 79m in order to inform ground support for potential future plant construction. In early
May 2022, we subsequently commenced our 2022 resource drilling campaign which is ongoing. The objective
of this latest campaign is to seek to extend the pre-existing indicated resource estimate at depth towards the
east of the current zone and thereby link up a known area of encouraging data. If successful, it should enable
us to increase the resource tonnage and enhance the previously envisaged mining plan. The campaign is also
feeding in to our previously announced R&D collaboration project with the University of Salamanca supported
by Spain’s Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), which is scheduled to be completed
later this year.
In summary, the Europa Metals team has continued to advance Toral on a technical/engineering level and
move the project environmentally and socially towards a Mining Licence Application (MLA) in a cost-effective
manner. Over the coming period, the Board will continue with its endeavours to establish a clear pathway
forward for Toral as we continue to believe in the clear potential for the profitable future development of Toral
in a stable and secure first world jurisdiction. In this regard, we were pleased to recently announce a letter of
intent in respect of a proposed US$6m farm-in arrangement with Denarius Metals Corp. (TSXV: DSLV;
OTCQB: DNRSF) (“Denarius”), involving a two stage option and joint venture, pursuant to which it will be
afforded the right to acquire up to an 80% ownership interest in Toral. This proposed transaction remains
subject, inter alia, to confirmatory due diligence by Denarius, the finalisation and entry into of definitive
documentation and all requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals as appropriate, and there can be no
guarantee that the transaction will be completed. This proposed investment by Denarius represents a
significant step forward with respect to the advancement of Toral, but also our ambition to secure potential
further concessions in the surrounding Northern Spain region
In addition, we have continued to persue our stated business development strategy and identify promising
complimentary opportunities for portfolio expansion. As at the end of the reporting period, the management
team had reviewed over 18 projects, with four being discussed and evaluated at Board level, and we intend
to continue such activity and to identify, investigate and assess additional opportunities of potential interest.
Further updates will be provided as and when appropriate.
