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.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華/ACESSWIRE/2024年4月10日/歐洲太平洋金屬公司(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:EUP)(OTCQB: AUCCF)(“公司” 或 “歐洲太平洋”)宣佈2024年在米格爾·瓦卡斯礦區開始勘探鑽探計劃,該礦區距里斯本公路以東約180公里,阿連特茹地區首府埃武拉以東約70公里。2024年的鑽探計劃包括至少1,500米的礦石鑽探,目標是進一步確定氧化銅礦化的淺層露天資源,隨後將在更深(> 80m)的硫化物礦石上進行分步鑽探。工作人員在現場,鑽探已於2024年4月6日開始。
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."
首席執行官卡里姆·拉亞尼表示:“我們很高興地宣佈,位於葡萄牙的米格爾·瓦卡斯銅業項目開始鑽探。該計劃旨在測試結構框架,同時確認礦化區,同時擴大其潛力。我們最初正在鑽11個鑽孔,以確認是否延長,以及適合露天堆浸作業的氧化毯的質量。隨着運營的繼續,我們期待着彙報。”
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.
米格爾·瓦卡斯的目標位於328平方公里的大型勘探許可證——Borba 2號內,該許可證具有有據可查的儲存貴金屬和基本金屬礦化的潛力。泥盆紀和志留紀變沉積物中的剪切帶以及與奧陶紀內火山岩相關的超熱系統中存在豐富的金和/或銅礦物,從而增強了礦化系統。
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.
該礦周圍有大量的大理石開採區,不會干擾勘探區域。相反,這些業務的存在被認爲是一個積極因素,因爲當地的大理石運營商非常接受像歐洲太平洋這樣的採礦集團,而且他們在基礎設施和潛在的採礦設備方面始終提供後勤支持。
Drill Program Details
鑽探計劃詳情
- 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.
- 實際活動將以先前的鑽探和分析爲基礎,這些鑽探和分析顯示,在很長的時間間隔內(BOMV-4001 孔中銅品位高達 6.7 米,銅品位爲 2.57%),具有與歷史鑽探連續性的顯著高品位銅礦化。請參閱2024年3月28日的歐洲太平洋新聞稿,了解更詳細的化驗結果。
- 礦化系統沿着l走向延伸至少 2 km,並且在深度上是開放的。該計劃共包括11個淺孔,以確認先前的結果並詳細說明氧化層的形態,以概述初始部分約1200米的資源估算。還計劃開一個深底鑽孔來測試更深的硫化物區,以便進一步採取後續行動。
