Scoping Study Commencement - Toral Project, Spain
Europa Metals, the European lead-zinc explorer, today announces that it has engaged the services
of UK based Addison Mining Services Limited (www.addisonminingservices.com) (“AMS”, “Addison”)
with immediate effect, to commence an initial Scoping Study (the “Study”) on the Company’s 100%
owned Toral lead, zinc and silver project located in the Province of Leon, Spain (the “Toral
Project”). Addison previously compiled the Toral Project’s maiden independent JORC (2012)
mineral resource estimate, announced in January 2018.
The principal objective of the Study will be to determine first economics on the Toral Project,
reported on by a fully accredited and independent mining consultancy group. The findings of the
Study will be disclosed to the market following completion, which is currently anticipated during Q4
2018.
Addison’s Principal Geologist, James Hogg, and Associate Principal Mining Engineer, Julian
Bennett, will lead the Study project team dedicated to the Toral Project. The dedicated Study team
will work alongside the Company’s existing in-country management, under the direction of Myles
Campion, Technical Director, and Jesus Montero, principal Mining Engineer from Mining Sense.
The specific workstream headings for the work to be undertaken for the Study are as follows:
- Resource optimisation of recently completed JORC 2012 Inferred resource;
- Preliminary mine layout;
- Mineral inventory estimation;
- Preliminary Economic Assessment, DCF and sensitivity analysis;
- CAPEX and OPEX parameters; and
- Review of environmental, hydrogeological and geotechnical parameters.
Myles Campion, Executive / Technical Director, commenting today, said:
“We are delighted to appoint Addison Mining Services to conduct the initial Scoping Study over the
Toral deposit and look forward to working closely with them to combine their experience with our
on-ground knowledge to move Toral forward as quickly as possible.
On completion of the Study, we will hope to have the first real look at the prospectivity we think
Toral has to offer, providing greater insight into the economics and the potential of the deposit.”
Laurence Read, Executive Director, added:
“Our maiden inferred JORC 2012 resource, announced in January 2018, estimated that Toral has
a metal content of 670,000 tonnes of zinc, 540,000 tonnes of lead and 13 million troy ounces of
silver1. While Europa will be pursuing drilling along strike during 2018 (at present we are
completing the tendering process for drilling), our core focus will be confirming the economic
viability of developing this significant metals resource. The initial Scoping Study, to be undertaken
by an independent consultant, will examine a wide range of sensitivities and report on the viability
of a future mining operations. With an already defined high-grade centre within the block model, I
look forward to the scenarios that might be uncovered by Addison in developing a robust
production model.”
