Highest Grade Drilling Results by the Company for Toral
Europa Metals, the European focused lead, zinc and silver
developer, is pleased to announce further assay results from its
recently completed diamond drilling programme conducted by "Sondeos
y Perforaciones Industriales del Bierzo SA" ("SPI Drilling") at the
Company's 100% owned Toral Pb, Zn & Ag project ("Toral" or the
"Toral Project").
Highlights :
-- Significant intersection from drillhole TOD-042 of 5.25m@23.24% ZnEq(PbAg)*, including:
o 2.50m@44.55% ZnEq(PbAg)*
-- Hole TOD-042 has been successful in intersecting exceptional
high grade mineralisation adjacent to existing, previously
reported, indicated resources and down dip and along strike from
the previously reported results for hole TOD-041 which intersected
3.20m@15.16% ZnEq(PbAg)*
-- Hole TOD-042 in conjunction with hole TOD-041 could link
together the current indicated resource estimate to a part of the
inferred resource at depth which demonstrates continuity
The drilling campaign aimed to expand on the existing indicated
resource envelope of 5.9Mt @ 7.1% ZnEq (including Pb credits) and
27 g/t Ag at depth. Hole TOD-042 intersected the highest grade
mineralisation to be reported by Europa Metals to date at Toral and
over a significant width. The two holes (TOD-041 and TOD-042) taken
in conjunction with nearby previous drilling provide both support
and confidence to our current resource model and the continuity of
the high grade nature of the deposit at depth.
The latest drilling data continues to be utilised to progress
the Company's innovation partnership with the University of
Salamanca facilitated by the grant of up to EUR466,801.50 by way of
a loan from Spain's " Centre for the Development of Industrial
Technology" (CDTI), of which EUR322,009.13 has been drawn down to
date.
Commenting today, Myles Campion, Executive Chairman and acting
CEO of Europa Metals said :
"Hole TOD-042 contained the highest grade intersection that the
Company has drilled to date at Toral with over 5m in excess of 20%
Zn equivalent representing a fantastic result. This included some
samples running over 40% primary Zn. We targeted this area of the
deposit in order to increase our confidence in a potential
extension to the indicated resource and also from the concept that
it could be a higher grade "channel" within the resource. Both
concepts have been proven which is an excellent result for the team
and Toral's future".
The drilling parameters for the assay results reported for hole
TOD-042 are presented in the table below:

Hole TOD-042 was drilled with a PQ-HQ-NQ diameter, with half of
the core being sent for independent analysis at ALS Laboratories.

* - ZnEq (PbAg)% is the calculated Zn equivalent incorporating
lead and silver credits; (ZnEq (PbAg)% = Zn + Pb*0.926 + Ag*0.019).
Zn equivalent calculations were based on 3-year trailing average
price statistics obtained from the London Metal Exchange and London
Bullion Market Association giving an average Zn price of
US$2,680/t, Pb price of US$2,100/t and Ag price of US$16.2/oz.
Significant Zn Eq intercepts were generated using a 1% Zn Eq
trigger value, minimum width of 1m, maximum consecutive waste
interval of 1m and minimum average Zn Eq grade >2%.
The cross section image above illustrates the positioning of
hole TOD-042. The high grade nature of the intersection is
consistent with our current resource model and provides further
support for extending the known estimated indicated resource at
that depth.
