Terra Balcanica<\/a>, a polymetallic exploration company focusing on large-scale mineral systems in the Balkans of southeastern Europe, has revealed the conclusive geochemical assay results from the Phase II drill campaign at Cumavici Ridge.<\/p>\n Terra Balcanica holds a 90% interest in the Viogor-Zanik Project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with full ownership of the Kaludra<\/a> and Ceovishte<\/a> mineral exploration licenses in southern Serbia.<\/p>\n Emphasising responsible engagement with local communities and stakeholders, the company is dedicated to adhering to Good International Industry Practice (GIIP) and implementing sustainable health, safety, and environmental management practices.<\/p>\n Drillhole CMV23001 intersected 551 g\/t AgEq over 4.8 m from 11 m downhole, with an additional mineralised interval of 669 g\/t AgEq over 0.3 m from 31.60 m (Table 1).<\/p>\n The CMV23001 drillhole is situated on the same platform as CMV23002b, which previously reported 499 g\/t AgEq over 3.8 m from 22 m downhole.<\/p>\n Mineralisation at Cumavici Ridge remains open and untested immediately northwest and down-dip to the southwest, providing ample opportunities for further exploration. These areas will be targeted in the upcoming 2024 Phase III drill programme.<\/p>\n Additional assay results from the 2023 Phase II drilling programme are forthcoming. This includes findings from four shallow drillholes at the Brezani Au skarn, aiming to extend the previously reported 88.0 m at 0.61 g\/t AuEq from the surface.<\/p>\n Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr Aleksandar Mi\u0161kovi\u0107, commented: \u201cTerra keeps on confirming average grades of over 500 g\/t Ag Eq and average mineralisation thicknesses of approximately 5-10 m of massive sulphides and associated Ag-Sb-Pb-Zn-Au mineralogy at Cumavici Ridge which is only one of six target zones along the 7.2 km corridor of vein-hosted epithermal mineralisation.<\/p>\n \u201cThis zone is de-risked by drilling shallow, high-grade silver mineralisation at both the Cumavici Ridge and Joseva targets over 2.3 km apart. We are very excited to carry on adding to the existing mineralised horizon at Cumavici Ridge by testing it down dip to SW as well as along strike to NW while expanding the drill campaign to Cumurnica and two other targets along the corridor in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\nHighlights of Phase II drill campaign<\/h3>\n

Interval lengths reported are drilled lengths, not true widths. Silver equivalent (\u201cAgEq\u201d) is based on assumed metal prices of US$1,980\/oz for gold (Au), US$23\/oz for silver (Ag), US$1.15\/lb for zinc (Zn), US$5.42\/lb for antimony (Sb) and US$1.00\/lb for lead (Pb). Assumed metal recoveries of 90% Au, 93% Ag, 95% Sb, 94% Pb and Zn are based on published metallurgical tests on analogous intermediate sulphidation epithermal vein deposits.<\/em><\/p>\n |
