BELGRADE (Serbia), August 22 (SeeNews) – UK-based gold and copper miner Tethyan Resources said on Wednesday it completed the first drill programme at the recently acquired Kizevak zinc-lead-silver project in Serbia.
The drill programme consisted of four diamond drill holes for a total of 957.3 metres and was designed to test for extensions of mineralisation along-strike from the historic mine, Tethyan said in a statement.
All drill samples have been submitted for preparation at ALS Bor, Serbia, as well as for analysis at Ireland's ALS Loughrea and Romania's ALS Rosia Montana, and results will be announced in due course, Tethyan said.
The drill target is defined by a strong zinc-lead-silver soil anomaly coincident with small-scale pits and excavations containing galena and sphalerite mineralised float, the company added.
The Kizevak project is situated on an exploration license held by Tethyan’s Serbian subsidiary Taor d.o.o. and is located 1 km southeast along strike from a past-producing open pit zinc-lead mine.
