Kizevak Prospect

The Kizevak Prospect is a past-producing open-pit mine that ceased operations in the late 1990s.

Kizevak is a past-producing open pit mine which produced 2 Mt between 1985 and 2000. Intermediate sulphidation epithermal zinc-lead-silver-gold mineralisation is confirmed over a northwest-southeast strike length of 900 m and remains open in both directions.

Kizevak has 29,000 m of historical drilling and 7,000 m of underground exploration development. A Yugoslav resource estimate of 3.9 Mt @ 3.92% Zn, 2.15% Pb and 31 g/t Ag in the A+B+C1 categories was defined (not JORC compliant). The Company has commenced drilling in 2018, and has confirmed mineralisation over a strike length of 900 m, from surface down to more than 200 m, with a thickness up to 60 m. In addition to historically defined mineralisation, sub-parallel structures and zones have been outlined beyond the historic resource outline.

Adriatic and historical drilling at Kizevak

Intermediate sulphidation epithermal zinc-lead-silver-gold veins occupy extensional fault and tectonic breccia zones. The confluence between primary NW-SE and subordinate NE-SW, E-W and N-S striking structures controls thick plunging ore shoots. The host volcanic suite exhibits a secondary control on mineralisation, with thickening of structures where massive andesites are transected as opposed to andesitic breccia. The hanging-wall to massive sulphide veins exhibits stockwork style mineralisation.

 

KSEDD002 - 11 m @ 23.9% Zn, 11.4% Pb, 180.7 g/t Ag, 0.2 g/t Au

KSEDD001 – 3.6 m @ 24.6% Pb, 1.6% Zn, 324.7 g/t Ag, 0.2 g/t Au

 

Ground magnetic surveys define broad magnetic lows representing magnetite-destructive sericite-clay-pyrite alteration, coincident with strong polymetallic soil anomalies and known mineralisation. Numerous targets on the peripheries of the main Kizevak trend are yet to be tested by drilling.
