Terra Balcanica Provides Exploration Activities Update on High Grade Silver and Gold Targets at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to provide an update from the Phase I and II exploration drilling within its principal 168 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Company completed approximately 2,200 m of drilling along a shallow, high grade, silver-dominated, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system at the locality known as Chumavichi (Figures 1 and 2). This semi-continuous, 7.2 km-long structural corridor associated with a low magnetic response was previously largely untested by drilling and hosts altered volcanic tuffs and breccias with occurrences of massive Pb, Zn and Fe sulphides.

At the Company’s second Viogor-Zanik target of Brezani (Figures 1 and 3), Terra discovered a surficial auriferous skarn superimposed on an Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralized, NE-shallowing structural system itself overlying porphyry andesites stock from 550 m of depth. The target is characterized by overlapping 1.2 km wide magnetic and EM anomalies with over 700 meters wide Au-Bi-Zn anomaly at surface and banded skarn outcrops with sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Similar geophysical signatures are detected at the 4.1 Moz Au Eq. Rogozna Au-Cu skarn project in SW Serbia. The Company completed approximately 1,200 m of diamond drilling at Brezani with additional assays to be released shortly.

Highlights

  • Maiden Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m from 29 m of depth, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters;
  • Chumavichi Ridge drill hole CMVDD002 intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
  • CMVDD003, an 83-meter step-out from CMVDD001, intercepted a vein interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 meters, including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters, and is open at depth;
  • The step out drillhole CMVDD005 returned 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m (see Figure 3) approximately 50 m west-northwest of CMVDD002;
  • The Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD004 along the same drill fence 40 m northeast of CMVDD005 returned 505.3 g/t AgEq over 11.0 m from 43.0 m depth including 3075.4 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) over 1.7 m;
  • Shallow, polymetallic mineralization was also intersected 600 m NW of the discovery hole at the Cumavici Ridge where two drill holes through a new parallel structure returned 531 g/t AgEq over 0.75 m (CMV23007), and 355 g/t AgEq over 1.10 m (CMV23009);
  • The Phase II drillhole CMV23004 intersected 1,168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m from 36.2 m downhole to add 42 m strike length SE of CMVDD002 with mineralization remaining open and untested down-dip (Figure 2);
  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected 457 g/t AgEq over 4.15 m from 43.85 m downhole and points to a wider down-dip continuation of the high-grade mineralization from the previously reported CMV23004 (Figure 2);
  • Drill testing of the 650 m-wide, conductivity high at the centre a 1.2 km wide anomalously magnetic rock volume at Brezani intercepted 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m (BREDD002) and 0.58 g/t AuEq over 28.6 m (BREDD001). Continuation of this drillhole along same azimuth and dip to depth of 674 m has intercepted a substantial width of low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization and potassically altered, porphyritic andesites overprinted by chlorite from 550 m depth (Figure 3).

Cumavici is observed in the NW of the license package with the Brezani discovery 12 km to the SE. The operating Sase mine producing 350ktpa of Pb-Zn-Ag-Sb-Au concentrate is located 7 km east of Chumavichi (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N click here to view image).

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments: “After a year of systematic targeting followed by approximately 3,400 m of diamond drilling over the last two years, we are proud to lay claims to two precious metal rich, polymetallic discoveries at an emerging European mining jurisdiction. Our systematic high grade silver intercepts from two of the five defined Chumavichi corridor targets are indications of its outstanding potential considering it is located only 7 km west of Mineco’s silver mine at Sase. Our recent discovery of similar polymetallic mineralization at Brezani adds further value to this multi-domain target. There, a significant mineralized intercept underlies the previously confirmed auriferous skarn starting from surface and overlies a porphyry system which Terra has been targeting at Viogor-Zanik from the very outset. We believe the potential of our discovery at Brezani is tremendous considering the shallowing of the epithermal mineralization along a presumed fault to northeast and stratigraphic intercept below the boiling horizon which will be targeted by our future drill programs. Collectively, this is a thrilling development for Terra as we aim to release assay results from additional five drill holes at Brezani and prepare for a continued definition of this massive magmatic-hydrothermal system in eastern Bosnia”


Figure 2. Fence diagram of Phase I and II drilling completed at the Cumavici Ridge target. Polymetallic mineralization intervals are highlighted in red. The mineralization remains untested and open down dip to the southwest and entirely open to the NW. The high-grade mineralization footprint currently sits at approximately 92 m (strike length) by 150 m in down dip direction (click here to view image).

Upcoming Results

Laboratory assays results from section of drill hole BREDD002 below 215 m depth (Figure 3) are pending QA/QC verification and will be released imminently. Additionally, four more diamond drill holes (BRE23001-004) between depths of 120 and 160 m that tested the surface gold bearing calc-silicates and magmatic breccias will be released in comings months.

Drillhole BREDD002 is shown, with a tabular conductivity feature extending to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure with increased conductivity due to sulphide and clay within the broken rock mass. It passes through a break in the magnetics, which is further evidence of structural control (click here to view image).

Peabody Provides Update on First Quarter 2024 Results

ST. LOUIS, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Peabody (NYSE:BTU) today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2024. The company expects to report first quarter revenue of $980 million; income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $45 million; and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $160 million. These amounts are estimates, actual first quarter 2024 financial results will be released on May 2, 2024.

Sales volumes in the first quarter were largely in-line with expectations for our seaborne segments while the U.S. thermal segments reported lower than expected shipments. The seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.0 million tons (including 2.5 million export tons), the seaborne met segment shipped 1.4 million tons, the PRB segment shipped 18.7 million tons and the Other U.S. thermal segment shipped 3.2 million tons.

First quarter results were impacted by the following factors: 1) unfavorable seaborne thermal coal mix as a result of lower production at Wambo due to an extended longwall ramp-up offset by additional production of lower quality coal at Wilpinjong; 2) lower average realized prices in the seaborne metallurgical coal segment due to HVA and PCI to HCC price relativities significantly below historical levels and mining of lower quality coal at the CMJV; 3) higher than anticipated costs at the CMJV from an unplanned dragline outage and the acceleration of planned coal prep plant repairs; 4) lower U.S. thermal volumes due to unseasonably warm weather and continued low natural gas prices; and 5) an approximate $18 million non-cash remeasurement of AUD denominated monetary assets.

“Our first quarter included some unforeseen production challenges that are now behind us,” said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. “The CMJV dragline and Wambo longwall are again operating on plan and Shoal Creek continues to exceed production expectations as we begin the second quarter.”

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, Peabody will announce results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.  An investor conference call with management is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT on May 2, 2024.

Strathmore Finalizes Agate Permit for 200 Hole Drilling Program

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 10, 2024) – Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation (TSX: SUU) (OTCQB: SUUFF) (“Strathmore” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce we are planning a 200-hole drill program in 2024 for Agate totaling 30,000 feet. The active drill permit has been amended and sent to state and federal regulators with exploration planned to begin in spring upon approval of proposed permit amendments.

Mr. Terrence Osier, VP Exploration of Strathmore said “During our Phase 1 drill program in 2023, we successfully discovered uranium roll front mineralization saturated with groundwater at shallow depths, from 80 to 150 feet deep, confirming the available historical data. The 2024 drill targets are planned this year to extend the discovered roll front into untested ground, in addition to other targets across the Project. One of these targets lies a mile south of the area we drilled in 2023, including historic intercepts of 4 feet of 0.35% eU3O8 from 85 to 89 feet (hole KM-23-119) and 7 feet of 0.062% eU3O8 from 87 to 94 feet (hole KM-15-138). Strathmore intends to subcontract with the same drilling contractor and geophysical logger as was used in 2023- Single Water Services, Hawkins CBM Logging.”

Strathmore is very encouraged by UR-Energy’s announcement last month to begin construction of a satellite in-situ operation at their nearby Shirley Basin Project, located 6 miles from Agate. We look forward to advancing our working agreement with UR-Energy which should result in shorter lead times and lower costs for developing and operating an in-situ operation at Agate. In addition to exploring Agate, we plan to drill this summer at our Beaver Rim Project in the Gas Hills Uranium District.

About the Agate Property
The Agate property consists of 52 wholly owned lode mining claims covering 1,075 acres. The uranium mineralization is contained in classic Wyoming-type roll fronts within the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone. Historically, 55 million pounds of uranium were mined in Shirley Basin, including from open-pit, underground, and the first successful in-situ recovery operation in the USA during the 1960s. At the property, the uranium mineralization is shallow, from 15 to approximately 150 feet deep, much of which is below the water table and likely amenable to in-situ recovery.

The Project was previously explored by Kerr-McGee Corporation in the 1970s, which was the largest producer of uranium in the United States, including from their Shirley Basin deposits. Other uranium companies in the basin include Cameco, enCore Energy, UR Energy, and UEC, whose claims border the Agate property. Available Kerr-McGee historical drill results from the Wyoming Geological Survey include drill hole location maps and 330 geophysical logs which have been digitized and reinterpreted for entry into a modern, verifiable database. In 2023, Strathmore completed 100 drill holes on the Project, confirming the historical drill results. The exploratory drilling targeted the Lower “A” sand of the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone which is noted for its high porosity, permeability, and groundwater transmissivity.

About Strathmore Plus Uranium Corp.
Strathmore has three permitted uranium projects in Wyoming, including Agate, Beaver Rim, and Night Owl. The Agate and Beaver Rim properties contain uranium in typical Wyoming-type roll front deposits based on historical drilling data. The Night Owl property is a former producing surface mine that was in production in the early 1960s.

Genesis Signs LOI to Perform Wildfire Analysis in Harrison Hot Springs, BC

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 9, 2024) – Genesis AI Corp. (CSE: AIG) (OTCQB: AIGFF) (the “Company“)  is pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent to provide wildfire mitigation risk assessments at Cogburn Creek, BC for a proposed 300 unit development and existing recreational operation.

The first phase of analysis will commence next week, using a mix of on site acquired data from drone based LiDAR and multispectral imaging and remotely acquired satellite data from AIRBUS (GEOINT – Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, Inc. (airbusus.com)). The expected outcome of the analysis is a detailed report that outlines the risk of wildfire, the probable path the wildfire will take, and the cost to perform “FireSmart” protection techniques to build resilience against wildfire. The project involves the collection of 900 hectares (2,224 acres) of high-resolution data that will be used as an ai training model for other projects.

Since the site is adjacent to a well-known, busy forestry recreation site (Cogburn Beach) maintained by the Province of British Columbia – Ministry of Forests, the analysis will be provided to demonstrate the cost of creating a non-combustable zone, thinning and pruning of existing forest, and removal of coarse woody debris on the forest floor.

CEO Devinder Randhawa says, “we are pleased to be moving ahead with our first wildfire project, using this as a template for other communities across North America. As a long-term resident of Kelowna, I have witnessed firsthand the devastation caused by the wildfires last year and in 2003. We are working to help communities quantify the cost of resilience and giving actionable intelligence to those affected.”

Project Director Brent Tolmie says, “we will be reaching out to every high-risk community across British Columbia to start with, demonstrating our unique service that not only provides analysis of the risk, but also quantifies the cost of treating areas. Our mid term plan is to work to crowd source risk information and develop a contractor portal where we not only define cost but also help communities get this work done.”

Silver Bullet Mines Announces Strategic Business Alliance and $1 Million Debenture Financing

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 8, 2024) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce it is entering into a strategic business agreement (the “Agreement”) with Countryman Investments Limited of British Columbia, Canada (“Countryman”). The Agreement provides that Countryman will provide financial, business development and mining opportunities to the Company. Countryman is an existing SBMI shareholder.

Mr. Dave Richardson, a principal of Countryman, has agreed to join SBMI’s advisory board. Mr. Richardson has a long history in finance and business management, and will assist SBMI in implementing its business plan and expanding its business operations.

As the first phase in the implementation of the Agreement, SBMI intends to issue a convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in an amount up to $1,000,000.00 to willing investors (“Investors”), issuable in tranches of $1,000.00 with each tranche having 10,000 detachable warrants. Each warrant has a term of three years and is exercisable at $0.12, $0.14, and $0.16 for years 1, 2, and 3 respectively following the issuance of the Debenture. The Debenture will have a three year term and interest will run at a rate of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears during year one and quarterly in arrears during years two and three. Interest will be paid to Investors in cash or in common shares of the Company, at SBMI’s option.

Each Investor at any time can convert its portion of the Debenture, in whole or in part, into common shares of the Company. The conversion price shall be $0.08 during the first twelve months following issuance of the Debenture, $0.10 during the next twelve months of the term of the Debenture, and $0.12 during the final twelve months of the term of the Debenture (the “Conversion Price”).

SBMI can force conversion of the Debenture, in whole or in part, if SBMI’s closing price for its common shares exceeds $0.25 for a period of ten days. The Debenture can be prepaid by SBMI any time after twelve months from the issuance of the Debenture.

Countryman is a subscriber to the Debenture.

The Debenture is subject to regulatory and board approval.

The Agreement and the Debenture provide further financial stability to SBMI. They will enable the Company to complete work required by MSHA at the Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona, to further work at the Washington Mine in Idaho this year, and to address other corporate matters.

Grizzly Reports Significant High Grade Gold, Silver and Copper Exploration Results for the Greenwood District Precious and Battery Metals Project, BC and Plans for 2024

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – April 4, 2024) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce all assay results for the 2023 rock and soil samples collected from the Company’s 172,000 acre Greenwood District including newly acquired and staked mineral claims in the Westbridge and Beaverdell areas, have been received. Significant and important high grade results for gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) have been received from a number of important target areas explored during 2023 and prior to that 2022. The priority list of targets includes Midway (including the Midway Mine and the Lois area), Imperial, Crown Point, Copper Mountain (Mabel Jenny and Coronation), Sappho, Marshall Lake, Motherlode, Colby and Enterprise. A number of these targets are new through acquisition and/or staking and have not been drill tested in decades if ever, including the Midway Mine, Lois, Imperial, Crown Point, Marshall Lake, Colby and Enterprise (Figure 1).

Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries, stated, “We are excited with the new results to date from the Greenwood District area and we are planning follow-up exploration including extensive soil and rock sampling along with ground geophysical surveys to be followed by drilling. Much of the newly acquired ground has seen little exploration and evaluation since the 1980’s. We also are looking forward to pursuing a number of high grade gold – silver – copper showings and historical mines with drilling in 2024 along with additional exploration for significant battery metals in our current 170,000+ acre land holdings in the Greenwood District. We have barely scratched the surface in terms of exploration!“

The Company currently has active drilling permits for the Ket 28, Dayton and the Motherlode areas. The Company is awaiting permits for drilling +/- trenching at the Midway, Imperial, Sappho and Copper Mountain target areas. Depending upon funding, the Company is planning for an aggressive drilling campaign for 2024 in order to take advantage of the outstanding metal prices.

The focus of the 2023 program was ground work for assessment and follow up work on a number of targets that returned excellent results during prior years including 2022. In addition, work was also conducted on a number of new targets acquired by staking and/or acquisition in the area while the Company waits for drilling and trenching permits. Highlights of the 2023 work are as follows:

Highlights:

  • The 2023 program saw the collection of a total of 755 rock grab or rock chip samples across the property from May to November, 2023 along with a total of 4,065 soil samples, mostly split between the Midway and Imperial target areas, with some sampling at Beaverdell.
  • Land acquisition during 2023 included new mineral claims at Beaverdell, Westbridge and in the Greenwood area at Midway, north of Midway, east of the town of Greenwood in the Marshall Lake area adjacent to the historical Phoenix Mine.

Marshall Lake

  • A total of 103 rock grab samples were collected from outcrop and mineralized dump material across the new Marshall Lake mineral claims staked in August (Figure 1. See Company News Release dated November 22, 2023) yielding 24 samples with >0.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) (0.015 ounces per ton [opt]) up to 154.5 g/t (4.51 opt) Au (including 15 samples >1 g/t Au), along with high silver (Ag) up to 205 g/t (5.98 opt) Ag and high copper up to 8.44 percent (%) Cu (Figures 1 and 2).
  • The high gold values are often accompanied by high copper in the 0.1 to 0.6% range. The anomalous values are associated with high sulphide (pyrite and chalcopyrite) material in what appears to be gossanous skarnified sedimentary rocks.

Midway Mine Area

  • Two new showings identified in 2023 near the historical Midway Mine including up 5.64 g/t Au (0.165 opt) from a showing 400 m to the north of Midway and up to 4.19 g/t Au (0.122 opt) from a grab sample collected about 375 m to the west of the Midway Mine (Figure 3).
  • At least 6 new areas with anomalous gold (> 100 ppb), copper (>200 ppm) and silver in soils have been identified at Midway (Figure 3).
  • The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver.
  • At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples collected during 2022 from outcrop at the Midway Mine-Picturestone area, yielded a range of 12.05 g/t Au (or 0.351 opt) up to 70.8 g/t Au (2.065 opt) (See Company news release dated October 17, 2022).
  • Three (3) of the 7 selective rock grab samples from the Midway Mine yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 opt) up to 2,140 g/t Ag (62.4 opt) (see the Company news release dated October 17, 2022).
  • All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of Pb, Zn, Cu, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) and are likely epithermal in nature.
  • A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway Mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 opt) and 1,530 g/t Ag (44.6 opt), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area (Figure 3).

Copper Mountain Area

  • A new showing at the western edge of the Mabel Jenny Trend at the Copper Mountain area continues to yield excellent results including 9 of 14 rock grab and chip samples collected during 2023 from the new zone yielding greater than 1 g/t Au (0.029 opt) up to 13.75 g/t Au (0.401 opt) along with up to 61.9 g/t Ag (1.805 opt), and up to 0.475% Cu and 2.93% Zn.
  • The strike length of the new zone is more than 400 m along a new logging road cut when combined with anomalous samples from 2022 (See Company News Release dated October 12, 2023).
  • The showings are related to pyrite and chalcopyrite in quartz veins, breccia and stockwork associated with an altered (likely Jurassic?) diorite.

Colby – Enterprise (Westbridge Area)

  • A total of 51 rock grab samples were collected from outcrop and mineralized dump material across the Colby and Enterprise claims acquired in early 2023 (Figure 4).
  • Rock grab samples (40) from showings and mineralized dumps in the Colby area returned 13 samples with >1.0 g/t Au (0.029 opt) and 8 samples with >5.0 g/t Au up to 26.2 g/t Au (0.764 opt) including 12 grab samples with >30.0 g/t Ag (0.875 opt) up to 460 g/t Ag (13.42 opt).
  • The high Au and Ag values are often accompanied by high lead and zinc in the 0.1 – 1% range. The high values are associated with gossanous pyritic material in quartz veins and breccia in what appears to be quartzite in contact with a diorite or felsic porphyry (Figure 4).
  • A total of 11 selected rock grab samples from the Enterprise showing and historical workings yielded 3 grab samples with >1.0 g/t Au (0.029 opt) up to 32.0 g/t Au (0.933 opt) including 3 grab samples with >30.0 g/t Ag (0.875 opt) up to 187 g/t Ag (13.42 opt).
  • Sulphide mineralization at the Colby and Enterprise historical workings is associated with quartz veins, breccia and skarnified/silicified sedimentary rocks and intrusions. The alteration patterns are consistent with intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization.

Imperial Mine Area

  • A total of 50 new rock grab and rock chip samples collected from the historical Imperial Mine area, with 6 samples returning greater than 1 g/t Au (0.029 opt) up to 12.1 g/t Au (0.353 opt) and 8 samples returning greater than 40 g/t Ag (1.167 opt) up to 469 g/t Ag (13.68 opt). The samples define a targeted strike length of over 170 m for future drilling. The samples yield significant amounts of lead, zinc and copper with several samples yielding greater than 2% combined base metals.
  • Extensive soil sampling utilizing a conventional soil sampling methodology and a test of ionic leach soil sampling has yielded a number of new additional targets to follow up outside of the Imperial Mine area to the north in the area of the historical Riverside and Commonwealth showings (about 750 m north of the Imperial mine) along with a new area about 3 km to the north.

Plans For 2024 Exploration at Greenwood:

An extensive rock and soil sampling program along with new geological mapping during 2023 has been completed in preparation for drilling at a number of locations in the Greenwood Area in 2024. Drilling is warranted at all of the targets described above. As well, a number of targets that warrant drilling based upon prior work are described in highlight form below.

The Company currently has active drilling permits for Ket 28, Dayton and the Motherlode target areas. The Company is awaiting permits for drilling +/- trenching at the Midway, Imperial, Sappho and the Copper Mountain target areas. Depending upon funding the Company is planning for an aggressive drilling campaign for 2024 in order to take advantage of the outstanding metal prices.

Motherlode Area

  • Results received for drilling at the Motherlode North polymetallic and skarn targets are comprised of copper-gold-silver +/- lead-zinc (Cu-Au-Ag +/- Pb-Zn) targets 500 to 750 m north and northeast of the historical Motherlode Mine (not owned by the Company), which produced significant amounts of Cu, Au and Ag including 173,000 ounces (oz) of Au, 688,000 oz of Ag and 77 million lbs of Cu between 1896 and 1918 and 1956 to 1963 (BC Minfile 082ESE034).
  • Prior drilling by Grizzly intersected up 17.15 g/t Au, 41.7 g/t Ag, along with 0.56% Pb and 1.51% Zn over 1.5 m core length at one of the skarn targets north of the Motherlode Pit (Table 1).
  • Skarn and sulphide rich mineralization, along with widespread hornfels and propylitic alteration have been intersected in most of the 2022 Motherlode North (22ML07 to 15) and the two (22MR01 & 02) Marguerite core holes (Figure 4).
  • Follow-up drilling is being planned for 2024 for the Motherlode area.

Sappho Area

  • The Sappho area is being targeted for copper-gold-PGEs skarn and porphyry type targets associated with an alkalic intrusion and several diorite intrusions south of Greenwood near the US border.
  • At least five new showings of copper oxide/sulphide mineralization were found during the 2022 program at the Sappho Target.
  • Previous surface sampling and drilling by Grizzly at the Sappho area has yielded significant anomalous copper, gold, silver along with platinum and palladium.
  • Numerous rock grab samples have yielded greater than 1% copper, 1 g/t gold, 1 g/t platinum and 1 g/t palladium (see Company news release dated November 3, 2022).
  • Historical drilling (by the Company) has yielded up to 0.31% Cu, 0.75 g/t Au, 0.34 g/t Pt, 0.39 g/t Pd and 6.57 g/t Ag over 6.5 m core length in skarn at Sappho in 2010.
  • Further drilling is warranted and has been applied for at Sappho for 2024.

Dayton Area

  • The Company completed 4 core holes for 1,014 m at the copper-gold Dayton Skarn/Porphyry Prospect in 2022 (Figure 1).
  • The Dayton IP2 target (an induced polarization chargeability anomaly) was tested by the Company with a single hole in 2011 and intersected potassic altered volcanics and intrusives with a near surface intersection (11DA-009) of 0.15% Cu and 0.43 g/t Au (or 0.46% CuEq*) over 51 m core length starting at a depth of 3 m Table 1).
  • Comparable sulphide zones, skarn and potassic alteration were intersected in the 2022 drilling at the Dayton IP2 target.
  • New intersections at Dayton include hole 22DA-016 with 0.062% Cu, 0.221 g/t Au and 1.89 g/t Ag (0.221% CuEq*) over 180 m core length, 22DA-017 with 0.057% Cu, 0.149 g/t Au and 1.76 g/t Ag (0.177% CuEq*) over 184 m core length, and 22DA-015 with 0.033% Cu, 0.155 g/t Au and 2.06 g/t Ag (0.162% CuEq*) over 44.5 m core length.
  • Intercepts are all associated with an Induced Polarization (IP) Chargeability anomaly (IP2) and mineralization appears to plunge and thicken to the north down plunge in conjunction with an apparent plunge of the IP Chargeability anomaly.
  • Further drilling is planned for the Dayton IP2 anomaly. Permits are already in place to conduct further drilling.

*CuEq calculated using ratios of Au:Cu 1:7,080 and Ag:Cu 1:88.5.

Quality Assurance and Control

Rock and soil samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

Terra Balcanica Executes Letter of Intent For Option Agreement To Acquire 100% Interest In Advanced Saskatchewan Uranium Portfolio

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1), a multi-jurisdictional exploration company focused on supporting the global transition to clean energy, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “Agreement”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of Fulcrum Metals Plc., (“Fulcrum”, AIM:FMET). Pursuant to the Agreement, Terra will have an option (the “Option Agreement”) to acquire a 100% interest in Fulcrum’s Charlot-Neely, Fontaine Lake, Snowbird and South Pendleton uranium licences (the “Licences”) located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada and collectively encompassing 596.71 km2 of highly prospective ground for a uranium discovery.

Highlights

  • Proximal to northern and southeastern edges of the Athabasca Basin (“Basin”) in northern Saskatchewan, a premium mining district and leading global source of high-grade uranium;
  • Charlot-Neely is located within the emerging Uranium City district on the northwestern margin of the Basin
  • Historical work at the projects has demonstrated evidence of uranium mineralization along favourable structural trends with prospective target horizons based on electromagnetic conductors;
  • Future exploration requires the undertaking of a modern systematic geologic fieldwork to determine the uranium potential.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented: “In our pursuit of high-quality assets worldwide, Terra Balcanica has secured an option to acquire a Canadian uranium portfolio covering close to 600 km2 with tremendous potential for discovery. In a world transitioning to green energy solutions, the acquisition of these assets provides a more robust and diverse exploration portfolio for Terra. Although there has been an increase in activity in the uranium sector, we are at the early stages of a commodity super-cycle and being able to acquire such a large, advanced uranium portfolio on favourable terms was a clear opportunity for our shareholders. It is the right time, jurisdiction, and commodity to augment our advanced Balkan portfolio and to further participate in the changing energy landscape. We look forward to working with Fulcrum to apply their technical and jurisdictional expertise to advance these Saskatchewan uranium projects, and we are excited by the addition of a strategic commodity to Terra’s existing polymetallic portfolio.” 

Portfolio Overview and Discovery Opportunity

The licence portfolio totals 596.71 km2 targeting major NE-SW trending structures along strike from historic uranium mines and projects that have attracted significant investment. Discoveries such as the Arrow (4.3Mt at 0.83% U3O8; https://www.nexgenenergy.ca/exploration/overview) and Triple R (2.7Mt at 1.94% U3O8 https://fissionuranium.com/projects/triple-r-deposit/project-overview/) have proved the concept of exploring along structures outside of the Athabasca basin.


Figure 1. Regional map of northern Saskatchewan, Canada which is one of the world’s leading sources of high-grade uranium and supplies about 20% of the world’s uranium. The blue symbols illustrate locations of the four optioned exploration properties totalling 596 km2 in the context of the world-famous Athabasca Basin, a Paleoproterozoic siliciclastic depo-centre (click here to view image).

Key Terms of Agreement

On closing of the transaction, Terra will have a four-year option to acquire 100% of Fulcrum’s owned uranium licences.

In consideration for the four-year option and at the time a definitive agreement is announced by way of news release and subject to a CSE approval, Terra shall pay Fulcrum C$7,500 for exclusivity on execution of signing of the Letter and pay Fulcrum C$25,000 less the C$7,500 exclusivity payment on execution of closing of the Option Agreement.

Additionally, Terra shall pay Fulcrum cash according to the schedule below:

  • C$50,000 on the first anniversary of closing of the Option Agreement;
  • C$75,000 on the second anniversary of closing of the Option Agreement;
  • C$75,000 on the third anniversary of closing of the Option Agreement;
  • C$75,000 on the fourth anniversary of closing of the Option Agreement;

and issue Fulcrum shares of TERA at the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) prior to the date of issuance as per the following schedule:

  • C$250,000 on closing of the Option Agreement with the initial share payments capped at C$0.065/share, pre-consolidation;
  • C$350,000 on the first anniversary of closing of the Option Agreement;
  • C$500,000 on the second anniversary of closing of the Option Agreement;
