Terrific Discoveries at the Viogor-Zanik Project
Vancouver, British Columbia -- Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (CSE: TERA; FRA: UB10) is excited to showcase the impressive polymetallic potential of its expansive 168 km² Viogor-Zanik project. This project, located in eastern Bosnia, is generating significant anticipation of upcoming Phase II drilling results.
Recent investigations, including around 2,200 meters of diamond drilling performed at the Chumavichi site, have confirmed significant mineralization across three targets intertwined within a fault-hosted, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic vein system that extends over 2 kilometers. Among the discoveries, at the Brezani target, Terra unearthed an auriferous skarn at the surface, revealing a mineralized fault corridor over 1.2 kilometers long, featuring silver (Ag), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and traces of gold (Au).
The drilling has elucidated a substantial potential for silver and antimony mineralization, emphasized by drill results from Chumavichi and preliminary observations from the latest drilling phase at Brezani.
Key Highlights from Drilling Activities
Among the notable findings from the drilling activities are the following:
- Drill hole CMVDD001 at Chumavichi Ridge reported an intercept of 824.2 g/t AgEq with 1.85 wt.% Sb over a length of 4.0 meters from a depth of 29 meters. This includes a remarkable 1,634.4 g/t AgEq with 3.7 wt.% Sb over 2.0 meters.
- Another site, drill hole CMVDD002, encountered 816.1 g/t AgEq over a band of 2.0 meters.
- Located just 83 meters from CMVDD001, CMVDD003 showed an interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq and 1.2 wt.% Sb over 8.7 meters, featuring an impressive 1196.6 g/t AgEq with 3.5 wt.% Sb across 2 meters.
- Drill hole CMVDD005 obtained 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 meters, which includes a notable 895.8 g/t AgEq with 1.8 wt.% Sb over 2 meters.
- In a new parallel structure located 600 meters northwest of Chumavichi Ridge, two additional drill holes revealed 1,041 g/t AgEq with 2.95 wt.% Sb over 0.75 meters, along with 554 g/t AgEq with 1.17 wt.% Sb over 1.10 meters.
- Furthermore, drill hole CMV23004 intercepted 1,489 g/t AgEq with 1.98 wt.% Sb over 1.35 meters from a depth of 36.2 meters.
These drilling successes highlight the rich, polymetallic nature of the mineralization within the project area and present a landscape ripe for future exploration and evaluation.
Insights from the Brezani Drill Core
The Brezani drillhole, designated BREDD002, has intercepted promising base metal-rich mineralization, specifically Sb-Ag, between depths of 482.1 to 505 meters. The geological characteristics observed include banded veins and massive sulphide-cemented breccias consistent with low and intermediate-sulfidation epithermal deposits. Surface exploration yielded remarkable evidence connecting the mineralization with a conductive body, correlating with elevated anomalous responses.
Continuing Potential for Exploration
Through ongoing and future drilling endeavors, Terra Balcanica is poised for potential discoveries in the mineral-rich landscape of Bosnia. The recent findings emphasize the company’s commitment to responsible exploration and community engagement while adhering to the principles of sustainable development.
Connecting with the Community
In addition to its exploration activities, Terra Balcanica is dedicated to engaging with local communities and stakeholders in the Balkans, fostering relationships built on transparency and mutual benefit.
Conclusion: The Future of Terrestrial Resources
The ongoing exploration and drilling activities by Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. at the Viogor-Zanik project emphasize a robust potential for discovering valuable deposits of silver and antimony. With a committed approach to sustainable mining practices and a focus on community engagement, the company is developing a promising future within the mining sector.
