Blackheath Resources Inc. (TSXV:BHR,FWB:04B) has begun its Phase 1 exploration program at the past-producing Borralha Tungsten Project. Borralha was Portugal’s second largest tungsten mine (after Panasqueira) until its closure in 1985 as a result of low tungsten prices. No exploration work or drilling has been undertaken since then.
As quoted in the press release:
The Phase 1 work program will focus on the exploration of two large, partially developed tungsten bearing breccia zones and will also focus on untested sub-horizontal tungsten bearing quartz veins. This work program will include:
• Geochemical sampling and geological and topographic mapping.
• 300 metres of diamond core drilling in the sub-horizontal tungsten bearing quartz vein structures.
• Finalization of drill target locations for the tungsten bearing breccia zones.
Blackheath President & CEO James Robertson said:
We are very excited to begin our Phase 1 work program on the property. The Borralha Tungsten Project is a high priority for Blackheath due to the historic production numbers and size of the past operations. We will be making further announcements regarding our Covas Tungsten and Bejanca Tungsten/Tin work programs shortly.
