The review has identified three main target zones for follow-up exploration activities, including drilling.\n \n \n \n \n \n Key points\n \n \n \n \n \n - A structural review has been undertaken of Alba's Limerick Base Metals Project (PL 3824) using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, Tellus aeromagnetic and EM data, Geological Survey of Ireland (\"GSI\") geological map data, DIAS gravity data and historic exploration data provided by Alba.\n \n \n \n \n \n - The review has identified three principal exploration target areas within PL 3824, each exhibiting a number of the structural and geological features found in Zinc-Lead deposits in the Irish Zinc Ore Field.\n \n \n \n \n \n - These results support Alba's decision to renew PL 3824 and to recommence exploration activities at the Project.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n George Frangeskides, Executive Chairman, commented\n \n : \n \n \n \n \n \n \"The Limerick Basin has been the site of notable exploration successes of late, such as the drilling last December of the Carricklittle Project, some 10 km or so from our licence area, which included drill intercepts of 7 metres at 30% zinc-lead combined, 5 metres at 14% zinc-lead combined and 3 metres at 10.8% zinc-lead combined.\" \n \n \n \n \n \n \"The detailed structural review we have now completed of our Limerick Base Metals Project area, pulling together all the latest geophysical and satellite data, has enabled the identification of three principal target areas within our licence. These three targets exhibit characteristics which are favourable for zinc-lead mineralization and provide renewe...
