As quoted in the press release:

The Covas tungsten project covers an area of 19.96 square kilometres. Tungsten mineralization generally occurs in an area known as the skarn ring. Approximately 60% of the skarn ring is untested and a geophysical IP programme has commenced to test these areas as well as a large tungsten porphyry prospect in the center of the skarn ring. The program is designed to assist in determining new drill targets as well as step-out targets adjacent to known high-grade historic resources. The data collected will also potentially show skarn mineralization is volumetrically much larger than has been mapped at surface.

Blackheath CEO, James Robertson, said:

We are pleased to have now earned-in a 70% interest into the past-producing Covas tungsten project. With the aid of the IP survey, Blackheath’s technical team has started to develop the strategy for our Phase 3 drilling campaign at Covas, which is scheduled to start next month.
