A visual review of intersected mineralisation had resulted in a decision to drill beyond the original target depth of 420 metres to 497 metres, Europa said, adding that core samples from the drilling had been sent for independent assay with results expected later in the first quarter.
The firm said the drilling campaign had targeted the highest grade areas of the Toral project in an effort to infill areas between historic drill holes.
