The new hit effectively extends the mineralisation by a further 140m down-dip at the northern end of the deposit, adding more resource tonnes.

Adriatic Metals will increase its land holdings at the exciting Vares project in Bosnia after local municipal authorities approved the company's request for major expansions to its existing concession agreement over the Veovaca and Rupice prospects at its 100% owned Vares base metals play.

The exciting drill hits have continued for Adriatic Metals in Bosnia with a 16m intersection going 1.6g/t gold, 136g/t silver, 1.1% copper, 4% lead, 6.5% zinc and 33% barite from 206m down-hole at the emerging Rupice prospect extending the ore footprint by 60m. Another 18m intersection that showed 2.6g/t gold, 201g/t silver, 0.5% copper, 4.5% lead, 9.2% zinc and 62% barite has extended the ore zone 50m up-dip.

The result extends mineralisation 80m down-dip and 50m down-plunge of the original geological interpretation. The company also reported gold mineralisation up to 3.5g/t in grab samples from the historic JB Zone, 1km away.

Zinc polymetallic explorer Adriatic Metals has every reason to be pleased with its latest assay results from the waste dump around an historic adit at the Jurasevac prospect at the company's Vareš Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Is it a zinc play ? Is it a lead play ? Is it a gold play ? Is it a copper play ? Perhaps a silver play ? How about a barite play ? Investors may well be asking these questions of the Adriatic Metals float that will debut on the ASX today with a multi-mineral beast of a deposit in mineral rich Bosnia. Base metals giant Sandfire Resources has ploughed $2m into the float and will hold nearly 8% of the company.
