Terra Balcanica Assets Corp. (“Terra” or the “Firm”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10) is happy to announce robust assay outcomes from a brand new discovery on the Brezani goal inside its principal Viogor-Zanik mission in japanese Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Highlights
- Drillhole BREDD002 returned 436 g/t AgEq over 19.6 m together with 746 g/t AgEq and 1.42 wt.% Sb over 9.8 m;
- One other mineralization fashion confirmed at Brezani along with the gold skarn with 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m from floor (see Firm’s information launch dated twenty fourth January 2023);
- Mineralization tendencies in the direction of floor and daylights in a topographic melancholy with As-Bi-Sb-Te anomalism in soil samples with a shallow “boiling-zone” drill goal (Determine 1);
- 4 shallow drillholes, geared toward increasing the footprint of the gold skarn have been accomplished inside the > 800 m strike size gold in soil anomaly, with assay outcomes pending.
Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, feedback:
” We’re very happy with the polymetallic assays from an interval thrice as broad as that common reported at our different Viogor-Zanik goal at Cumavici. Not solely have we found a brand new sort of mineralization that shallows towards northeast, and as such may very well be simply explored from high down, however we’ve got additionally confirmed the numerous presence of antimony at Brezani which continues to be a scarce commodity worldwide attributable to provide points and commerce restrictions imposed on sure nations. Now, the drill-confirmed surficial Au bearing skarn is confirmed to be underlain by the numerous fault-hosted polymetallic mineralization which itself is underpinned by andesitic porphyry. It’s encouraging to see this resulted from the very first drill gap leaving numerous upside potential at Brezani as Terra releases extra assays from the 4 shallower intercepts drilled into the surficial skarn.”
Drillcore Observations

The zone of mineralization from 482.1 m consists of banded veins and sulphide cemented breccias with traits of each low and intermediate sulphidation epithermal deposits. The higher vein contact is sharp with minimal alteration progressing into the hornfels, whereas the vein footwall is brecciated and hosts robust clay alteration. The margins of the vein host repeating bands of chalcedonic quartz-rhodochrosite-calcite and sulphides/sulphosalts stibnite-pyrite-arsenopyrite-sphalerite-galena-jamesonite (Determine 2). The centre of the construction is dominated by hydrothermal breccia with a sulphide-quartz-carbonate cement. Clasts are banded vein fragments.
Determine 1. Part via the Brezani goal illustrating conductivity and the ninety fifth percentile magnetic shell. Drillhole BREDD002 is proven, with a tabular conductivity function extending to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity function is interpreted because the continuation of the host construction with elevated conductivity attributable to sulphide and clay inside the damaged rock mass. It passes via a break within the magnetics, which is additional proof of structural management.
Future Exploration Program
2023 drilling on the Brezani goal uncovered a brand new fashion of mineralization on the contact between the skarn-hornfels package deal and underlying chlorite-sericite altered diorites. The epithermal mineralization encountered 482.1 m downhole is interpreted to shallow to the ENE making a conductivity function which passes via a magnetic low. A topographic low with an anomalous epithermal assemblage in soil and rock chip geochemistry is interpreted because the floor expression. Future drilling efforts will goal to intersect the epithermal mineralization shallow and probe for a “boiling zone” the place treasured metals might have been favourably precipitated.

A) 482.1-482.4 m millimeter scale banded chalcedonic quartz-calcite-rhodochrosite-sulphide. B) 483.6-483.85 m calcite-rhodochrosite breccia cemented by chalcedonic quartz-sulphide crosscut by a later calcite-chalcedonic quartz-sulphide vein set. C) 485.1-485.5 m banded quartz-calcite-sulphide vein grading right into a stibnite-sphalerite sulphide breccia cement with clasts of wallrock hornfels and banded veins.

QA/QC
Half core (HQ3) samples had been delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for pattern preparation and subsequent moist chemical evaluation on the Loughrea laboratory in Eire, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 licensed check facility. Pattern preparation PREP-31BY methodology concerned crushing the core to 70% lower than 2 mm, rotary cut up 1.0 kg and pulverizing the cut up to larger than 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals had been analysed by ICP MS after a four-acid digest (ME-MS61). Gold was assayed by 30g fireplace assay with ICP AES end (Au-ICP21). Over restrict samples for base metals had been re-analysed by the four-acid digest ICP-AES analyses termed ME-OG62. Management samples comprising the licensed reference materials CDN-ME-1810 (Canadian Useful resource Labs Ltd.), quarter core subject duplicates and blanks had been inserted at a fee of 9 % and investigated as a part of the Firm’s high quality assurance and high quality management program.
