The PFS workstreams concerned will include:· Hydrogeological studies to ascertain sub surface water conditions;· Drilling targeting increases in the confidence level of the overall mineable resource for Toral; and· Further metallurgical, geotechnical, waste management and environmental work components.The Board of Europa Metals believes that completion of the above PFS components will further demonstrate the viability of the Toral Project by advancing the Company's understanding of metallurgy and hydrogeological conditions, defining the parameters for waste management and environmental considerations, as well as potentially upgrading areas of the current resource into higher categorisations.
