Erris Resources PLC (LON:ERIS) is continuing with exploration on its Abbeytown zinc project in Ireland. Drilling has now succeeded in connecting the underground mineralisation with that at the surface and also out to the south.
Accordingly, a soil sampling programme was completed in February 2019 with the aim of identifying new targets and demonstrating that this mineralisation corridor has the potential to extend 900 metres to the Ox Mountains fault, south of Abbeytown.

Meanwhile, metallurgical test work is underway on samples taken from the underground drilling.
In Finland, as part of the Centerra-funded programme, several targets are under review, with a number of reservation permit applications already submitted.
"2019 has started well, with activity on a number of our projects,” said chief executive Anton du Plessis.
“At Abbeytown, work has focussed on identifying new targets further south of the mine site towards the Ox mountain fault approximately 1.2 kilometres away. The team has been running a soil sampling programme with the aim of upgrading geophysical targets. This is looking promising and could increase the overall potential of the project.”
