Europa Metals Ltd (AIM:EUZ, JSE:EUZ) said the first assay from the latest drill programme at Toral in Spain matched earlier results with a thick intersection in the initial hole.
Results from the hole, TOD-043, included a section of 8.7 metres (m) at an average grade of 11% zinc equivalent (lead and silver) within which was 3.1m at 20.3%.
In a statement, Europa said that this latest programme is part of the option agreement signed with Denarius Metals last November and comprises 11 holes of in-fill drilling within an established indicated resource area of 7.1Mt at 8.1% zinc equivalent.
Myles Campion, executive chairman, noted: "The first drill hole of our infill and confirmatory campaign has illustrated the robust nature of Toral and the current indicated resource.
“Hole TOD-043 has displayed a thick, well-mineralised intersection in keeping with the existing holes in the area."
