Terra Balcanica's Phase III Drilling Progress Overview
Vancouver, British Columbia – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTC:TEBAF) recently completed a significant milestone in their exploration journey. The 1,200 meters of drilling conducted marks the advancement of their Phase III drilling program at the Brezani and Chumavichi targets, which are part of the larger Viogor-Zanik project.
Significant Drilling Highlights
The company’s ongoing efforts in the Viogor-Zanik project, spanning 168 km², have yielded promising results:
Drilling Outcomes and Findings
Recent drill holes, specifically BRE25001 and BRE25001A, were strategically positioned to follow the success of the discovery hole BREDD002, which previously revealed an impressive 19.6 meters at 436 g/t AgEq. Both recent drilling ventures have intercepted a substantial interval of retrograde altered skarn, which has previously showcased a mineralization of 0.61g/t AuEq over a noteworthy stretch. The findings also highlight several structural zones indicative of intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization.
The Chumavichi Excitement
Drilling activities at Chumavichi have unveiled multiple zones of shallow, massive sulphide and quartz-sulphide mineralization, all located within the Chumavichi structure, demonstrating the potential for substantial discoveries in the area. The polymetallic nature of the mineralization — composed of silver, antimony, zinc, lead, and gold — is confirmed through in-depth observations and analyses.
CEO Insights on the Drilling Campaign
Dr. Aleksandar Miškovi?, the CEO of Terra Balcanica, shared his enthusiasm regarding the drilling results. He expressed satisfaction with achieving over half of the anticipated meterage despite facing numerous challenges. The interception of various structures and the observed mineralogies align with the company's exploration hypothesis concerning the extension of mineralization in the area. The team is gearing up for further testing to understand the Ag-Sb-Zn soil anomaly better, with plans to advance towards additional exploratory efforts soon.
Future of Phase III Drilling
This phase of drilling is not merely a continuation but a pivotal chapter in Terra's exploration narrative. The first stage has laid the groundwork for understanding the geological landscape better, bolstered by the remarkable drilling results from both the Brezani and Chumavichi targets. The broader implications of these findings underline the exploration upside, prompting further investigations to determine the full extent of the rich mineral deposits.
The Company’s Exploration Commitment
Terra Balcanica is firmly dedicated to responsible exploration practices, aspiring to be a leader in sustainable mining initiatives in the Balkans region. With a 90% interest in the Viogor-Zanik Project and a significant portfolio in Canada, the company emphasizes strong engagement with local communities and stakeholders, adhering to Good International Industry Practice (GIIP).
Local Community Engagement
The company's responsibility extends beyond mineral exploration; it encompasses a commitment to health, safety, and environmental management. Engaging with local communities is central to Terra's strategy, ensuring all stakeholders participate in beneficial practices that foster regional development.
