Drilling Results
Europa Metals, the European focused lead, zinc and silver
developer, is pleased to announce the first assay results from its
ongoing infill diamond drilling programme being conducted by
Explomin Perforaciones UE S.L. ("Explomin"), at the Company's 100%
owned Toral Pb, Zn & Ag project ("Toral" or the "Toral
Project"). This drilling programme forms part of the 2023
exploration campaign agreed by Europa Metals Ltd ("Europa Metals"
or the "Company") and Denarius Metals Corp (TSXV:DSLV; OTCQX:
DNSRF) ("Denarius") pursuant to the definitive option agreement
dated 22 November 2022, further details of which are set out in the
Company's announcement of 23 November 2022.
Highlights :
-- Significant intersection from drillhole TOD-043 of 8.70m@11.03% ZnEq(PbAg)*, including:
o 3.10m@20.35% ZnEq(PbAg)*
-- Hole TOD-043 has been successful in intersecting high grade
mineralisation adjacent to an existing, previously reported, high
grade intersection within the project's Indicated Resource block
outlined to date.
The current focus of the drilling campaign comprises
approximately 11 holes for a total of up to 7,000m, including a
combination of confirmatory and infill drilling within the
project's known indicated resource area outlined to date, of 7Mt @
8.1% Zn Equivalent (including Pb credits), 5% Zn, 3.7% Pb and 29g/t
Ag. Once completed, the campaign's results will then be applied to
commission an updated independent mineral resource estimate later
in the year.
Commenting today, Myles Campion, Executive Chairman and acting
CEO of Europa Metals said :
"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. We look forward to providing further updates as we progress
through the rest of the drilling programme as results become
available".

TOD-043 are presented in the table below:

* - ZnEq(PbAg)% is the calculated Zn equivalent incorporating
lead and silver credits; (ZnEq(PbAg)% = Zn + Pb*0.926 + Ag*0.019).
Zn equivalent calculations were based on 3-year trailing average
price statistics obtained from the London Metal Exchange and London
Bullion Market Association giving an average Zn price of
US$2,680/t, Pb price of US$2,100/t and Ag price of US$16.2/oz.
Significant Zn Eq intercepts were generated using a 1% Zn Eq
trigger value, minimum width of 1m, maximum consecutive waste
interval of 1m, minimum average Zn Eq grade >1%.

Drilling operations are ongoing, in line with the objective set
out above, and further assay results will be announced once
processed and received. Hole TOD-044 has been completed with assays
having already been sent to the labs and TOD-045 and TOD-046 are
currently being drilled with targeted depths of approximately 610m
and 810m respectively.
