EV Resources Limited reported on the initial eight samples taken at the Christina Tin-Tungsten Project in Morocco, from selected locations on surface and underground. The eight samples were collected as part of an initial due diligence programme and were taken primarily for mineralogical assessment in specialist laboratories in Europe, to understand the mineral assemblages of the host granites, as a guide for the exploration strategy. Three samples (EZ-06, EZ-07,EZ-08) were collected from the quartz veined material, both on old surface stockpiles and from underground and these samples have, as anticipated, returned outstanding assays that demonstrate a compelling exploration project.

The Christina Tin (Sn) and Tungsten (W) grassroots exploration project is located approximately 120km east of Casablanca, Morocco. EV Resources has secured an option for a large area (48km²) under licence, a proportion of which is being converted to a mining licence. The project area has seen sporadic mining during the 1930's through to the early 1980's, from a few nearly vertical shafts (to 80m below surface) and from at least three horizontal adits with lengths of up to 150m.

Ore was hand-sorted, and no plant was ever in operation. The deposit is located in the southern part of the Hercynian granitic Zaer intrusive. Mineralisation is associated with the presence of coarse-grained two-mica granite, showing potassic alteration, and with the presence of greisen, and a high density of quartzose micro veins.

In June 2022 an initial eight rock samples - hydrothermally altered granite and quartz veins with visible wolframite, taken from surface and from underground, in situ and from stockpiles - were collected in a highly selective manner to gain an insight into the mineral content of host granite rock, and metal grades from the quartz veins. Moreover, this first sampling campaign served as a trial to identify the optimal route for sample preparation and assaying techniques for a much larger number of samples. The samples were prepared at SGS Maroc (Casablanca) using the following technique: Weight and dry sample; Crush entire sample to -2mm to 75%; Split around 220 ­ 250gr using riffle splitter and Pulverize the 220 ­ 250 gr to 85% -75 microns.

70­100-gram pulp samples were shipped and assayed at SGS Canada. The most appropriate method is an ICP-MS package (56 elements) with Sodium Peroxide Fusion (GE_IMS90A50_C). Sodium peroxide is a strongly oxidizing flux that is basic, not acidic in nature.

It renders most refractory minerals soluble. As Sn and W contents in three samples were found above the upper detection limit of 1%, they were re-assayed with GO_ICP90Q100. Due to higher contents of Mn (compared to Fe), wolframite is probably mainly present as hübnerite.

REE and Nb /Ta values are low, as are all other metals of potential interest. Duplicate pulps of the samples were also sent to Aix Minerals laboratory in Germany, with the intent to obtain an understanding of the mineralogical content. Aix Minerals is a specialist laboratory for X-Ray Diffraction analysis.

All minerals occurring in the samples were identified and quantified. Samples EZ-01 to EZ-05 consist of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar and illite/muscovite. For samples EZ-06, EZ-07 and EZ-08 the tungsten bearing minerals wolframite and scheelite could be identified, as well as traces of cassiterite.

100 samples of micro-veinlets and surrounding granites have been submitted to SGS Laboratories in Canada. The programme has been designed to test the potential for bulk mineralisation outside of the very high-grade quartz veins, which will be a key determinant in a precise exploration strategy. A further 300 samples taken in the recent programme are in storage and await dispatch to SGS once the results of the 100 samples have been analysed.
