EuroPacific Announces Start of 2024 Drill Program Targeting Shallow High-Grade Copper Deposit at Miguel Vacas
EuroPacific Announces Start of 2024 Drill Program Targeting Shallow High-Grade Copper Deposit at Miguel Vacas
VANCOUVER, BC / ACESSWIRE / April 10, 2024 / Europacific Metals Inc. (TSXV:EUP)(OTCQB:AUCCF) (the "Company" or "EuroPacific") announces the start of the 2024 exploration drill program at the Miguel Vacas mine area located approximately 180 km east by road from Lisbon and approximately 70 km east from Évora, the Alentejo region capital. The 2024 drill program encompasses a minimum of 1,500 meters of ore drilling with the objective of further defining initially a shallow open pit resource of oxide Copper mineralization which will be followed by step out drilling on the deeper (> 80m) sulphide ore. Crews are onsite, and drilling has begun on April 6, 2024.
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华/ACESSWIRE/2024年4月10日/欧洲太平洋金属公司(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:EUP)(OTCQB: AUCCF)(“公司” 或 “欧洲太平洋”)宣布2024年在米格尔·瓦卡斯矿区开始勘探钻探计划,该矿区距里斯本公路以东约180公里,阿连特茹地区首府埃武拉以东约70公里。2024年的钻探计划包括至少1,500米的矿石钻探,目标是进一步确定氧化铜矿化的浅层露天资源,随后将在更深(> 80m)的硫化物矿石上进行分步钻探。工作人员在现场,钻探已于2024年4月6日开始。
Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer, stated "We are pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Miguel Vacas Copper project located in Portugal. This program is designed to test structural framework while confirming the mineralization zone while expanding its potential. We are proceeding initially for eleven drill holes to confirm the extensions, and quality of the oxidized blanket amenable for an open pit heap leaching operation. We look forward to reporting back as operations continue."
首席执行官卡里姆·拉亚尼表示:“我们很高兴地宣布,位于葡萄牙的米格尔·瓦卡斯铜业项目开始钻探。该计划旨在测试结构框架,同时确认矿化区,同时扩大其潜力。我们最初正在钻11个钻孔,以确认是否延长,以及适合露天堆浸作业的氧化毯的质量。随着运营的继续,我们期待着汇报。”
The Miguel Vacas target is located within a large, 328 square kilometers exploration license, Borba 2, which has a well-documented potential to host precious and base metals mineralization. The mineralized systems are enhanced by the presence of abundant Au and /or Cu mineral occurrences in shear zones hosted in Devonian and Silurian metasediments and in epithermal systems associated with intra-Ordovician volcanics.
米格尔·瓦卡斯的目标位于328平方公里的大型勘探许可证——Borba 2号内,该许可证具有有据可查的储存贵金属和基本金属矿化的潜力。泥盆纪和志留纪变沉积物中的剪切带以及与奥陶纪内火山岩相关的超热系统中存在丰富的金和/或铜矿物,从而增强了矿化系统。
The mine is surrounded by extensive marble exploitations that do not interfere with the exploration areas. On the contrary the presence of these operations is considered to be a positive factor because of the excellent acceptance by the local marble operators of a mining group like EuroPacific and by their logistical support always available both in infrastructures and potentially mining equipment.
该矿周围有大量的大理石开采区,不会干扰勘探区域。相反,这些业务的存在被认为是一个积极因素,因为当地的大理石运营商非常接受像欧洲太平洋这样的采矿集团,而且他们在基础设施和潜在的采矿设备方面始终提供后勤支持。
Drill Program Details
钻探计划详情
- The actual campaign will be driven based on previous drilling and analysis that showed significant high-grade copper mineralization that has continuity with historical drilling, over wide intervals (up to 6.7 m grading 2.57 % Cu in hole BOMV-4001). Please refer to EuroPacific News Release dated March 28, 2024, for more detailed assay results.
- The mineralized system extends on at least 2 km along l strike and is open at depth. The plan includes a total of 11 shallow holes to confirm previous results and detail the morphology of the oxidized blanket in order to outline a resource estimation over an initial segment of approximately 1,200m. A deep undercut hole is also planned to test the deeper sulphide zone for further follow-up.
- 实际活动将以先前的钻探和分析为基础,这些钻探和分析显示,在很长的时间间隔内(BOMV-4001 孔中铜品位高达 6.7 米,铜品位为 2.57%),具有与历史钻探连续性的显著高品位铜矿化。请参阅2024年3月28日的欧洲太平洋新闻稿,了解更详细的化验结果。
- 矿化系统沿着l走向延伸至少 2 km,并且在深度上是开放的。该计划共包括11个浅孔,以确认先前的结果并详细说明氧化层的形态,以概述初始部分约1200米的资源估算。还计划开一个深底钻孔来测试更深的硫化物区,以便进一步采取后续行动。
