EuroPacific Announces Initial Drill Intercepts From First Hole Targeting Shallow High-Grade Copper Deposit at Miguel Vacas
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2024 / Europacific Metals Inc (TSXV:EUP)(OTCQB:AUCCF) (the "Company" or "EuroPacific") announces the completion of the initial two drill holes 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.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華/ACCESSWIRE/2024年5月8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·瓦卡斯礦區完成了前兩個勘探鑽孔項目,該礦區距里斯本公路向東約180公里,阿連特茹地區首府埃武拉以東約70公里。
HIGHLIGHTS
亮點
The first hole (EBMV001), collared near the southern limit of the old open pit was completed at a depth of 112.8 meters. The hole intercepted a broad broken mineralized interval with copper secondary minerals associated with a 28 meters wide (ca. 22m thick) polyphase breccia/shear zone from 57 meters, including an expected high-grade zone of ca 2m from ca. 64 meters.
第一個洞(EBMV001)位於舊露天礦的南界附近,在112.8米的深度下完成。該孔從57米處截獲了一個寬闊的破碎礦化區間,銅次生礦物與28米寬(約22米厚)的多相角礫岩/剪切帶有關,包括預計從約64米處延伸約2米的高品位區域。
Mineralization consists essentially of Malachite [(CuCo3Cu(OH)], Libethenite (Cu2OHPO4), Crisocola (CuSiO3,2H2O), Atacamite (Cu2OHCl), Covelite (CuS) and Tenorite (CuO). Primary sulphides are virtually absent until a depth of 80 meters.
礦化主要由孔雀石 [(CuCO3Cu(OH)]、赤鐵礦(Cu2OHPO4)、Crisocola(CuSiO3,2H2O)、阿塔卡姆石(Cu2OHCl)、Covelite(CuO)和 Tenorite(CuO)組成。在 80 米深之前,原生硫化物幾乎不存在。
The second hole (EBMV002), located about 30m from the northern limit of the pit has been completed at a depth of 150.1 meters. This area coincides with the northern limit of the mineralized corridor and the objective was to test a potential expansion of the system in that direction. The hole has intersected an 18 meters wide mineralized zone from 119.25 meters that was not identified by previous drilling. This deeper intercept confirms the presence of a NW-SE fault displacing the mineralized zone to the West and opens new potential for an additional extension of the shear corridor to the North.
第二個洞(EBMV002)位於礦坑北限約30米處,已經完工,深度爲150.1米。該區域與礦化走廊的北部邊界重合,目的是測試該系統朝該方向擴張的可能性。該孔從119.25米處穿過了18米寬的礦化帶,這是先前的鑽探未發現的。這種更深的截距證實了西北東南斷層的存在,該斷層將礦化帶向西移動,爲向北進一步延伸剪切走廊開闢了新的潛力。
The third hole is now in progress. An initial batch of 60 core samples has already been cut in half and dispatched to the ALS Laboratories for Gold by Fire Assay and multielement ME-MS for 48 elements.
第三洞正在進行中。首批60個核心樣本已經切成兩半,並通過火焰分析和48種元素的多元素 ME-MS 送往ALS黃金實驗室。
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 recoverable by hydrometallurgical methods which will be followed by step out drilling on the deeper (> 80m) sulfide ore.
2024年的鑽探計劃包括至少1,500米的礦石鑽探,目的是進一步確定可通過溼法冶金方法開採的淺層露天氧化銅礦化資源,隨後將在更深(> 80m)的硫化物礦石上進行逐步鑽探。
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。
Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the progress made in such a short period of time. These initial drill intercepts show continuity at Miguel Vacas. As we increase the drill hole density at the supergene zone this will further aid in the preparation of an initial resource estimate. I am also very excited that we are approaching an important milestone of first physical development work on the Borba 2 Property."
首席執行官卡里姆·拉亞尼表示:“我們對在如此短的時間內取得的進展感到非常滿意。這些最初的鑽探截獲顯示了米格爾·瓦卡斯的連續性。隨着我們增加超級基因區的鑽孔密度,這將進一步幫助準備初步的資源估算。我也很高興我們即將迎來Borba 2地產首次實體開發工作的重要里程碑。”
