Terra Balcanica Appoints DGWA as European Financial Markets Advisor

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 25th 2026 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce that it has appointed DGWA GmbH (“DGWA”), a Frankfurt-based corporate advisory and capital markets firm, as its European financial markets advisor.

This strategic engagement aims to maximize the value of Terra Balcanica’s high-grade polymetallic portfolio and increase market recognition of the Company’s unique exposure to silver, antimony, zinc, gold and lead in one of Europe’s most historically productive metallogenic belts. DGWA will support the Company in significantly expanding its European profile among strategic investors, institutional funds, family offices and industry participants, and in growing awareness of Terra Balcanica’s rapidly advancing flagship Viogor Project.

Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. is a polymetallic exploration company targeting large-scale mineral systems within the Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt in southeastern Europe. The Company holds 100% interest in the Viogor Project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, a 49 km² land package situated adjacent to Mineco Ltd.’s operating Sase Mine in the prolific Srebrenica mining district. The Viogor Project offers exposure to one of southeast Europe’s most geologically compelling polymetallic prospects. Drill campaigns between 2022 and 2026 have confirmed high-grade silver-antimony mineralization, with an average grade of ca. 650 g/t Ag Eq. approximately 50 m below surface at Cumavici and 436 g/t Ag Eq. over 20 m at Brezani as well as the world’s 5th best 2024-2025 antimony intercept.

With antimony classified as a critical mineral by the European Union and the United States and Australia, Terra Balcanica is strategically positioned at the intersection of Europe’s critical mineral security agenda and one of its most prospective yet underexplored exploration frontiers.

Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, president and CEO of Terra Balcanica Resources, commented:

Europe is where our story needs to be told. The Western Balkans sit within one of the world’s great metallogenic belts, yet the region remains significantly underexplored relative to its geological endowment. Our Phase III drill program delivered outstanding results at Viogor, and we are at a stage where broadening our European investor base is both timely and strategically important. DGWA’s deep network across the DACH region and European capital markets makes them the right partner to support that effort. We look forward to expanding our visibility and connecting with the investors who will help us unlock the full potential of this project.

Mr. Stefan Müller, CEO of DGWA, noted:

We are pleased to work with Terra Balcanica and support the company in the European financial markets. The Viogor Project represents a genuinely compelling critical minerals opportunity in a region of growing strategic importance to European industry. The project’s high-grade silver-antimony system, combined with an emerging large-volume gold target, places Terra Balcanica at a distinctive position in the European exploration landscape. At a time when supply chain resilience and critical mineral security are driving unprecedented institutional interest in junior explorers, we look forward to introducing the Company to our European investor network and supporting its growth across the DACH region and beyond.

Terra Balcanica Obtains Exploration Licence in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 3rd 2026 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce that it has secured a new mineral exploration licence (“Permit”) comprising the Viogor polymetallic project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The new mineral exploration permit for the “Pb-Zn-Cu and associated base and precious metals” No. 05.04/310-366-3/26 was issued to Energetski minerali doo Banja Luka, a wholly owned Terra subsidiary, by the Republic of Srpska Ministry of Energy and Mines on May 20th, 2026. The exploration permit is valid for 3 years with the standard provisions for two 2-year extensions allowing for up to 7 years of continuous mineral exploration tenure.

The new permit area encapsulates the three targets defined by Terra’s diligent exploration activities between 2020 and 2022, namely: the historically known Čumavići polymetallic corridor, the Kiseli Potok Mo porphyry and the two Brežani discoveries. It encompasses 49.06 km2 and extends NW-SE along the Alpine orogenic trend west and south of the town of Srebrenica (Figure 1.)

Figure 1. The Viogor mineral exploration licence encapsulates the three mineralized localities which will be advanced over the next 7 years. The operating Mineco Ltd. Sase mine is strategically located 7 and 11 km away from Čumavići and Brežani, respectively.

Terra’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, P.Geo., remarked:

Building on our discoveries of high-grade, silver-antimony-zinc-lead-gold mineralization at Čumavići as well as an auriferous skarn and silver-antimony-zinc mineralization at Brežani, our securing of the Viogor project is an important step in advancing Terra’s Bosnian assets. It allows the Company to maintain drilled target areas for an additional seven years and as such to become one of the very few suppliers of critical metals, notably antimony, for the neighboring European markets. Removing tenure uncertainty paves way for unhindered push towards a preliminary resource estimate next year. Not only is the award of Viogor fundamental for our success but it also illustrates the ease of doing business in Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina while highlighting the expertise of our management team when it comes to holding onto key assets.

Viogor Project

The Permit project covers 49.06 square kilometres of historic Srebrenica mining district (i.e. Srebrenica Magmatic Complex; see below) downsized to one active exploration permit. It includes a series of silver and base metal targets interpreted as intermediate sulfidation epithermal veins and lies approximately 80 kilometres east-northeast of the Dundee Precious Metals’ Vareš mine that hosts Indicated Mineral Resources of 18.3 Mt at 168 g/t Ag, 1.3 g/t Au, 4.6% Zn, 2.9% Pb, 0.4% Cu and 30% BaSO4 and Inferred Mineral Resources of 2.8 Mt at 75 g/t Ag, 0.5 g/t Au, 2.4% Zn, 1.6% Pb, 0.2% Cu and 13% BaSO4, a deposit comparable in grade and metal composition to the two targets at Viogor.

Terra’s exploration licence is also located adjacent to the Mineco Ltd. Gross (Sase) Mine which produces approximately 330 kt of lead-zinc-silver-gold concentrate per year (Figure 1; https://www.minecogroup.com/gross). This facility hosts a crushing and flotation circuits to process the ore which is genetically identical to the mineralized horizons drilled by Terra and thus offers a strategic advantage during further project development.

Regional and Project Geology

The Srebrenica Magmatic Complex (SMC) is the 30-million-year-old, western member of the Podrinje Metallogenic District which includes the Serbian Cer and Boranja mining districts, collectively the northwesternmost extensions of the Serbo-Macedonian Metallogenic Province (SMMP) of the Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt. The SMMP mainly hosts deposits of Paleogene to Neogene age. The Srebrenica district is hosted by Oligo-Miocene, intermediate to mafic subvolcanic rocks emplaced into Paleozoic slates and covered by Neogene felsic pyroclastics.

The district has been known to host two types of mineralization: (i) cassiterite-bearing, greisen mineralization related to quartz-tourmaline-muscovite facies, and (ii) Pb–Zn–Fe bearing hydrothermal veins with variable concentrations of Ag, Sn and Sb. As such, the Srebrenica district shares many mineralogical similarities to those of the Andean Ag–Sn belt, Germany’s Freiberg-Erzgebirge district, the Lavrion deposit in Greece, and the Baia Mare Metallogenic District of East Carpathians, in Romania. The Srebrenica mineralization contains a comparable mineral assemblage to that of the San José Ag–Sn deposit, Oruro, Bolivia (cassiterite, stannite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, argentian tetrahedrite, galena and sphalerite).

The ore mineralization in Srebrenica is related to a syn-volcanic ring-radial fractures where hydrothermal ore veins are concentrated within four main systems of brecciated fractures: (i) the NE ore zone (Sase/Gross mine), (ii) the NW ore zone (Čumavići), (iii) the northern ore zone (Vitlovac), and (iv) the central ore system (Guber, Olovine). The origin of ore mineralization is genetically associated with a concealed plutonic body of S-type granitoid composition shallowly emplaced beneath the south-central part of the district.

Extensive greisen bodies are particularly well developed and composed of quartz, tourmaline and muscovite are found along the contact between the micro-granodiorites and Paleozoic slates. Tourmaline occurs as needle shaped, columnar and radiating aggregates. Greisens tend to be associated with endoskarns and indicate a proximal intrusive body with upper aureoles sealed shut to prevent fluids escaping. The Pb-Zn sulfides, accompanied by siderite, marcasite, sulfosalts and Ag sulfides are the dominant hydrothermal ore minerals, developed in the central part of the district, while in the peripheral parts there is mineralization associated with low-temperature epithermal veins (Sb, locally W, and Hg). The chief targets zones at Viogor presently include:

  • The Čumavići corridor comprises a series of shallow, high grade, intermediate sulphidation epithermal Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Sb vein-hosted targets with over 7.2 km of strike-length and hosted by clastic and crystalline tuffs and pyroclastic breccias. The host volcanics have been crosscut by NW-SE trending structures and are part of the larger SMC magmatic-hydrothermal system. High-grade epithermal mineralization is silver and antimony dominant with further gold-lead-zinc tenure. Terra’s drilling has confirmed three polymetallic systems so far: Joševa, Čumavići Crest, and the flagship vein system at Čumavići Ridge. The Cumurnica and Kazani targets remain to be drill tested. Thus far, the average grade of polymetallic mineralization at the flagship Čumavići Ridge system, which has seen over 28 drill holes along 180 m of strike length, averages 485 g/t Ag Eq. over 4.0 m (March 2026 commodity prices). Mineralogically, the ore is characterized by sphalerite-stibnite-galena and further silver-rich sulphosalts that are associated with quartz and calcite veining and breccia cement. Epithermal mineralization occupies faults which crop out at surface as distinctive topographic lows, coinciding with magnetic lows and often with sulfides visible within fault gouge.
  • Brežani hosts components of a large, multidomain, magmatic-hydrothermal system discovered by airborne TEM-magnetic and geochemical surveys. It comprises a 650 m by 400 m large, retrograde, chlorite overprinted, Au-bearing skarn upon a shallowing, base metal rich, structurally controlled, intermediate sulfidation epithermal ore zone at depth. The BRE23001 through 23004 diamond drill holes were located within the Au-in-soil anomaly and were intended to assess lithological variability and grade of the Au skarn along strike. Additionally, the drillholes tested the resistive volume above an abrupt change into a central magnetic low shell within the general >95th percentile magnetic high anomaly to verify the lateral extent of 0.61 g/t Au Eq. drilled in the central BREDD002.

    This particular discovery hole further intercepted ca. 20 m of fault-breccia hosted Ag-Sb-Zn mineralization at 480 m of depth grading upwards of 436 g/t Ag Eq. This intercept is coincident with a 1.2 km long EM conductor shallowing towards northeast and eventually surfacing at the topographic high of Brežani which was imaged during the 2021 TEM study. The mineralogical textures form the initial intercept pierced through the ore zone suggest a stratigraphic level that is apparently below the so-called “boiling zone” thus offering potential upside should one be intercepted up dip. The lateral extent of the 17-degree dipping conductor interpreted as the Sb-Ag-Zn mineralization is 1.2 km in length, up to 600 m in width and 20 m thick offers potential for a large tonnage ore body.

Shares for Debt

The Company has further agreed to settle outstanding debts in the amount of C$100,000 (the “Debt”) owing to two arm’s length creditors by issuing an aggregate of 1,666,666 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price of C$0.06 per Common Share (the “Shares for Debt Transaction”). The Board of Directors has determined it is in the best interests of the Company to settle the outstanding Debt by the issuance of the Common Shares in order to preserve the Company’s cash for ongoing operations.

Closing of the Shares for Debt Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and the Company intends to close as soon as practicable. The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction will be subject to a hold period of four (4) months and one (1) day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Terra Balcanica Intercepts 607 g/t Ag Eq. Over 3.0 m and 670 g/t Ag Eq. Over 3.9 m at Cumavici in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – March 17th 2026 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce additional high-grade assay results from the Phase III drill campaign at the Cumavici Ridge polymetallic, epithermal vein target within its Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Drillhole CMV25005 intersected 607 g/t Ag Eq. over 3.0 m including:
    • 842 g/t Ag Eq and 3.05% Sb over 1.7 m
  • Drillhole CMV25006 intersected 670 g/t Ag Eq. over 3.9 m including:
    • 2115 g/t Ag Eq and 9.58% Sb over 1.0 m
  • Step out drillholes located 65 m northwest of CMV25004 which reported 636 g/t Ag Eq. over 4.3 m and 38 m SW of CMVD005 which intercepted 326 g/t Ag Eq. over 10 m;
  • Results confirm the high-grade nature and continuity of mineralisation at Cumavici Ridge along strike towards NW potentially linking it with the Cumavici Crest zone. Mineralization remains open down dip to southwest;
  • Cumavici Ridge-Crest fault-hosted system is one of the four targets along the largely untested, 5 km long corridor of Ag-rich, base metal mineralization.

Terra Balcanica’s CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Mišković, commented:

Two additional drill intercepts confirm that we have begun to unequivocally define a tabular, high-grade body of silver-antimony dominant mineralization at Cumavici Ridge. With over two dozen positive drill holes spread over 180 m of along strike and testing the southwest-inclined structure to over 200 m down dip, Terra is now looking to drill test the linkage to the neighboring Cumavici Crest target and in doing so extend the mineralization to over 650 m along strike. Furthermore, in 2026, we are poised to drill previously untested Cumurnica target located only 1.5 km to the southwest.

Table 1. Assay results from drillholes CMV25003 and CMV25004 with the interval lengths reported as drilled lengths, not true widths given that true morphology of the mineralized zone is undetermined. Silver equivalents (“AgEq”) are based on assumed metal prices of US$5,000/oz for gold (Au), US$80/oz for silver (Ag), US$1.45/lb for zinc (Zn), US$20/lb for antimony (Sb) and US$0.86/lb for lead (Pb). Assumed metal recoveries of 90% Au, 93% Ag, 95% Sb, 94% Pb and 94% Zn were applied to all the laboratory assays and are based on recent published metallurgical tests from analogous polymetallic deposits in Bosnia.

Drillcore Observations

The mineralized intervals intercepted by drillholes CMV25005 and CMV25006 are examples of the typical high grade, massive sulphides of polymetallic nature encountered at Cumavici Ridge since 2022. Mineralization is typified by massive sulphides which can be broadly grouped into a silver-antimony rich, sulphosalts-dominant interval and a colloform banded brown grey, Pb-Zn rich interval of massive sphalerite and galena. The Ag-Sb mineralization, which includes the reported drillholes, is an example of a series of underexplored polymetallic veins that form part of a regional NW-SE trending epithermal system. Others include: Cumurnica, Joseva, and Seoce.

Geology of Cumavici Ridge Target

The Cumavici license is dominated by volcanic rocks (tuffs and pyroclastic breccias) which have been crosscut by generally NW-SE trending structures and are part of a large epithermal mineral system. Mineralization is silver and antimony dominant with further gold-lead-zinc (Figure 1).

Terra’s drilling has confirmed three polymetallic systems so far: Joseva, Cumavici Crest, and the flagship vein system at Cumavici Ridge. The Cumurnica and Kazani targets remain to be drilled. Mineralisation is characterised by sphalerite-stibnite-galena and further sulphosalts minerals which are associated with quartz and calcite veining and breccia cement. The mineralisation occupies faults which crop out at surface as distinctive topographic lows, coinciding with magnetic lows and often with mineralisation visible within fault gouge.

QA/QC

Half PQ3 core samples were delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), and blanks were inserted at a rate of 9% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Drills Multiple Polymetallic Targets and Extends Mineralized Zones in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 22nd 2026 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce further assay results from the Phase III drill campaign at the Cumavici Ridge and Brezani targets within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • The Brezani drillhole BRE25001A returned 0.43 g/t Au over 55 m from 12 m below surface thus extending gold mineralization to 170 m along strike in the N-S direction. Additional intercepts include:
    • 0.62 g/t Au over 2.0 m from 98.5 m;
    • 0.76 g/t Au over 1.5 m from 108 m;
    • 1.06 g/t Au over 3.0 m from 139 m;
  • Successfully intercepting gold mineralization reinforces the multi-domain nature of Brezani as a structurally hosted, gold bearing skarn upon an epithermal, silver-antimony mineralization. Surface gold skarn at Brezani remains untested over 850 m wide soil anomaly (Figure 1). Significant shallow intercepts of gold from previous drilling were:
    • 0.50 g/t Au over 88.0 m from surface (BREDD002);
    • 0.27 g/t Au over 72.3 m from 22m (BRE23001);
    • 0.62 g/t Au over 11.8 m from 9.8m including 1.03g/t Au over 6.65 m (BRE25004; see company news release from 20th August 2025);
  • The Brezani drillhole BRE25001 intercepted polymetallic epithermal mineralization returning 60 g/t AgEq. over 6.0 m from 158 m including 95 g/t AgEq. over 3.0 m from 161 m of depth. This confirms the continuity of a steep structure 92 m NE of the BREDD002 intercept returning 436 g/t AgEq. over 19.6 m (see company news release from 20th January 2025);
  • The Cumavici drillhole CMV25002 confirmed mineralization shallower than previously reported CMV25001 (Figure 2), marking continuation of the host structure and returning 186 g/t AgEq. over 0.5 m from 58.2 m (Figure 3).

Terra Balcanica’s CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Mišković, commented:

The results from the initial stage of the Phase III drill program in Bosnia highlight extensions of the silver-dominated polymetallic and gold mineralization at both of our key targets. With increases in mineralized footprints at Cumavici and Brezani by close to 100 m along strike at each location, Terra is proving the size aspect of the shallow epithermal mineralization throughout the Viogor Zanik project. The Company is positioning itself as the holder of one of the best, silver-rich exploration assets in the Balkans and Europe. The full extent of the planned drilling meterage at Brezani is committed to as we resume testing Cumavici with rigs commencing work on location this week despite subzero temperatures.

Brezani is located 8.4 km south of the Mineco Ltd. Sase Mine which produces approximately 330 kt of lead-zinc-silver-gold concentrate per year (Figure 1). The target hosts components of a large magmatic-hydrothermal system discovered by airobrne TEM-magnetic and geochemical surveys. The BRE23001 through 23004 diamond drill holes are located within the Au-in-soil anomaly and were intended to assess lithological variability and grade of the Au skarn along strike. Additionally, the drillholes tested the resistive volume above an abrupt change into a central magnetic low shell within the general >95th percentile magnetic high anomaly to verify the lateral extent of 0.61 g/t Au Eq. In the central BREDD002 (Figure 3).

Silver equivalents (“AgEq.”) are based on assumed metal prices of US$4,500/oz for gold (Au), US$80/oz for silver (Ag), US$1.40/lb for zinc (Zn), US$20/lb for antimony (Sb) and US$0.9/lb for lead (Pb). Assumed metal recoveries of 90% Au, 93% Ag, 95% Sb, 94% Pb and Zn are based on published metallurgical tests on analogous intermediate sulphidation epithermal vein deposits.

Brezani Phase III Drill Results

Two drillholes were completed at the Brezani Target in follow up to the discovery of polymetallic epithermal mineralization during the 2023 field season, with the intercept of 436 g/t AgEq. over 19.6 m from 482.1 m downhole in BREDD002. Both 2025 drillholes intercepted mineralised horizons associated with known skarn and epithermal systems.

Gold mineralization was confirmed again at Brezani with 0.43 g/t Au over 55 m from 12 m below surface. This correlates to the known retrograde altered skarn and calc-silicate hornfels discovered in 2022. Drilling has confirmed gold over 170 m N-S strike length (between BRE23001 and BRE25001) to date and sits within a >850 m long NW/SE trending gold in soil anomaly. The reconfirmation of thick gold intervals, just below surface is assuring, with the area still underexplored along strike. Previous gold intervals include 0.27g/t Au over 72.3 m from 22 m including 0.62 g/t Au over 7.5 m (BRE23001), 0.5g/t Au over 88.0m from surface (BREDD002) and 0.62 g/t Au over 11.8 m from 9.8 m (BRE23004).

Gold mineralization at Brezani is hosted by a chlorite-retrograde altered package of skarn and calc-silicate hornfels. The mineralised intercept in BRE25001A is composed of dioritic dykes, hydrothermal breccias and calc-silicate altered metasediments. The calc-silicates are fine to coarse grained pyroxene-garnet skarns and hornfels, with variable sulphide contents of pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-chalcopyrite and rare arsenopyrite. Highest sulphide and gold grades are observed close to the contact of diorite dykes and skarn.

The Ag-base metal epithermal mineralization was successfully intercepted in BRE25001. A series of structural zones were intercepted shallower than the anticipated target depth, indicating a steeper dip of the host structures to SW than previously interpreted. Similar banded quartz-carbonate sulphide veins were encountered, of which some were brecciated, with clasts of vein material cemented together by further quartz-carbonate-sulphide. BRE25001 returned 60 g/t AgEq. over 6.0 m from 158 m downhole.

Geology of the Cumavici Polymetallic Target

Drillhole CMV25002 was drilled at a shallower angle than CMV25001, which intersected 102g/t AgEq over 2.6 m. A similar thickness of structure was encountered in CVM25002, however dominated by fault gouge with clasts of sulphide mineralisation. The structure has been proven to continue towards surface and further northwest than previous drilling efforts. Follow up drilling will be conducted to the southeast, where previous drillholes returned thicker intervals of massive sulphide mineralisation within the same target structure. The Cumavici license is dominated by volcanic rocks (tuffs and pyroclastic breccias) which have been crosscut by NW-SE trending structures and are part of a large epithermal mineral system. Mineralization is silver and antimony dominant with further gold-lead-zinc (Figure 2).

The Phase III drilling has confirmed three polymetallic systems so far exploration at Cumavici: Joseva, Cumavici Crest, and the flagship vein system at Cumavici Ridge. Mineralization is characterised by sphalerite-stibnite-galena and further sulphosalts minerals which are associated with quartz and calcite veining and breccia cement. The mineralization occupies faults which crop out at surface as distinctive topographic lows, coinciding with magnetic lows and often with mineralization visible within fault gouge.

Drillhole CMV25002 intersected the shallow target structure at Cumavici Ridge. The structure was marked by strong argillic alteration of the volcanic rocks in the hanging wall, progressing into abundant fault gouge (clay). Within the gouge interval clasts of altered tuff and sulphide mineralization was present, comprised of pyrite-sphalerite-galena-stibnite. Carbonate stringer veins were also noted.

QA/QC

Half PQ3 core samples were delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), and blanks were inserted at a rate of 10.2% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Drills 102 g/t Ag Eq Over 2.55 m at Cumavici Ridge and Extend Mineralized Footprint in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 15th 2026 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce initial high-grade assay results from the Phase III drill campaign at Cumavici Ridge epithermal vein zone within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Drillhole CMV25001 intersected 102g/t Ag Eq. over 2.55 m within a broader zone of 64 g/t Ag Eq. over 4.7 m from 66m (Table 1) and including 0.4 m wide epithermal mineralized zone with 453 g/t Ag Eq. over 0.4 m;
  • Strike length extended to 95m from CMV23004 which returned 1168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m. Further drilling at Cumavici returned highlights of:
    • 505 g/t AgEq over 11 m (CMVDD004)
    • 824.2g/t AgEq over 4m (CMVDD001)
    • 284g/t AgEq over 10m (CMVDD005; see company news releases dated 8th September 22nd October 2022 as well as 2nd and 27th February 2023);
  • The mineralization remains open northwest and down-dip to the southwest;
  • Additional Phase III assays from diamond drillholes at Cumavici Ridge and Brezani targets will be released imminently.

Terra Balcanica’s CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Mišković, commented:

We are very pleased to have extended the footprint at the high-grade Chumavichi Ridge system by continuing to intercept the mineralized horizon. Again, the epithermal, fault hosted mineralization was intercepted shallowly highlighting the potential of this SW-dipping structure, a high-grade, close-to-surface silver and base metal rich target. Our work testing the along-strike and down-dip extent of the Cumavici mineralization continues with more assays which Terra will report soon.

Drillcore Observations

The zone of mineralization from 64 m to 73 m (Figure 1) is characterized by a fault-hosted hydrothermal breccia. The structure crosscuts a package of andesites and volcanic tuffs. This has created breccia and fault gouge is present at the margins of the structure which hosts the mineralisation. A 0.4m interval from 69.1m presents as massive sulphides of sphalerite-galena-stibnite-pyrite with sulphide stringers extending into the clay altered volcanics in the hanging and footwall of the host structure. Drilling has importantly confirmed further continuation of the Cumavici mineralisation, which was confirmed as present on Cumavici Crest over 500 m NW.

Geology of Cumavici

The Cumavici license is dominated by volcanic rocks (tuffs and pyroclastic breccias) which have been crosscut by generally NW-SE trending structures and are part of a large epithermal mineral system. Mineralization is silver and antimony dominant with further gold-lead-zinc (Figure 2).

AgEq values are labelled for selected 2022 and 2023 drill intercepts (See Company’s new releases dated 13 November 2023, 27 February 2023). Current drilling efforts confirm mineralization over 95 m NW/SE strike length. (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N;

The Phase III drilling has confirmed 3 polymetallic systems so far exploration at Cumavici. Joseva, Cumavici Crest, and the flagship vein system at Cumavici Ridge. Mineralisation is characterised by sphalerite-stibnite-galena and further sulphosalts minerals which are associated with quartz and calcite veining and breccia cement. The mineralisation occupies faults which crop out at surface as distinctive topographic lows, coinciding with magnetic lows and often with mineralisation visible within fault gouge.

QA/QC

Half PQ3 core samples were delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), and blanks were inserted at a rate of 9% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Announces Proposed Spin-Out of Terra North Resources Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 15th 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved, in principle, a corporate reorganization (the “Spin-Out Transaction”) whereby the Company plans to spin out its Canadian uranium assets into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Terra North Resources Corp. (“Terra North”).

The proposed spin-out transaction is expected to include the following steps:

  • Terra will transfer its 591 km2 Saskatchewan uranium portfolio, including the Charlot–Neely Lake claim cluster located in the Uranium City district, to Terra North, in consideration for 15,000,000 common shares of Terra North;
  • Terra North will complete a series of private placement financings to fund the 2026 exploration program on the uranium properties (Figure 1), and provide for other 2026-27 working capital requirements;
  • Terra North will distribute a portion of the Terra North Shares held by it to its shareholders on a pro rata basis as a return of capital;
  • Terra North will apply to list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), targeting a listing in Q2 2026, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals.

Terra North has engaged Dahrouge Consulting Inc. of Edmonton, Alberta to complete a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Charlot–Neely Lake property, which will support the Spin-Out Transaction and anticipated CSE listing. Furthermore, Terra North has engaged Maxis Law Corporation of Vancouver, BC to provide legal counsel and facilitate the Spin-Out Transaction.

The Company intends to provide additional details regarding the structure, share distribution ratio, and timing of the spin-out once final terms are determined, and all regulatory and corporate approvals have been obtained. Completion of the Spin-Out Transaction will be subject to shareholder approval, CSE approval, and applicable securities and corporate law requirements.

Terra Balcanica’s CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Mišković, stated:

The spin-out of Terra North positions our uranium portfolio within a focused exploration vehicle while allowing Terra to continue advancing its European projects. We are thus becoming exposed to scarce critical metals with significant projected upside in the coming decade such as antimony, silver, zinc, uranium and REEs. This structure is designed to unlock value for Terra shareholders through direct exposure to the exploration upside of the Canadian assets, while minimizing dilution of Terra shareholders by raising funding for Canadian exploration activity directly in Terra North. We are excited to hit the ground in the late spring of 2026 with a robust $2M exploration budget that will include multiple geophysical surveys and a follow up ground-truthing fieldwork.

Terra Balcanica Completes 1200 m of Phase III Drilling at Silver-Antimony Targets in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 12th 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTC:TEBAF) is pleased to announce the completion of the 1st stage of its 2,100 m Phase III drilling program at the Brezani and Chumavichi targets within its polymetallic Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Approximately 1,200 m of oriented, diamond core drilling was conducted at the Brezani and Chumavichi targets within Terra’s 168 km2 project in eastern Bosnia;
  • Drillholes BRE25001 and BRE25001A, positioned 72 m NE of the discovery hole BREDD002 which returned 19.6 m at 436 g/t AgEq (see company news release dated 20th January 2025), have both intercepted a ca. 50-60 m interval of retrograde altered skarn, the host of the previously reported 0.61g/t AuEq over 88m (see company news release dated 24th January 2023), as well as several structural zones hosting intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization;
  • Drillholes CMV25001 through 25004 have intercepted multiple zones of shallow, massive sulphide and quartz-sulphide, vein-hosted mineralization in the hanging and footwall of the SW dipping Chumavichi structure, all above 80 m depth;
  • Epithermal mineralization encountered at both targets is polymetallic (Ag-Sb-Zn-Pb-Au) as confirmed by sulphide observations and pXRF. Key mineralized intervals have been sequentially sampled and are pending assay completion;
  • The complete lithogeochemical assays will be reported after the laboratory data is received in its entirety.

Aleksandar Mišković, President and CEO of the Company comments:

We are pleased to have completed over a half of the planned meterage despite numerous setback and technical challenges which made the 2025 drilling campaign longer than anticipated. Moreover, we are pleased with the intercepted structures and mineralogies observed while logging the core both at Brezani and Chumavichi. The Terra exploration hypothesis about the extension of the base-metal dominated, epithermal mineralization above the NE shallowing conductor at Brezani which was initially interpreted to have served as a fault-hosted fluid conduit continues to be refined in the light of new 3D data. We will proceed towards testing the main Ag-Sb-Zn-As-Bi soil anomaly with additional drillholes. Simultaneously, we shall continue to push ahead with meaningful step outs at the Chumavichi system towards NW. Our drilling team is set to resume the Phase III operations in January of 2026 immediately after the laboratory assays are released to the public.

Phase III Drilling

The 2025 drilling program follows up on high grade, polymetallic mineralizations which Terra has previously discovered, namely at Brezani and Chumavichi targets, Viogor-Zanik Project, Eastern Bosnia. Phase III aims to increase geological knowledge at both localities which have provided outstanding drilling results to date.

The Brezani discovery, is a two-part story. Initial drilling revealed 88m from surface of 0.61g/t AuEq (0.60 g/t Au) within a retrograde altered skarn and hornfels package, which remains completely open along strike within an 850m long gold in soil anomaly. Deeper drilling in BREDD002 discovered an epithermal system, returning 19.6 m at 436 g/t AgEq with 2025 drilling intersecting similar styles of mineralization indicating the epithermal structures are numerous and trend towards surface where an epithermal assemblage soil anomaly exists, offering shallow follow up targets.

The Chumavichi target represents a district scale corridor of epithermal mineralization, with at least 3 separate vein systems confirmed by Terra’s drilling to date. Previous drilling at Chumavichi returned grades of 824.2g/t AgEq over 4 m (CMVDD001), 505.3g/t AgEq over 11 m (CMVDD004) and 284g/t AgEq over 10 m (CMVDD005; see news release dated September 8th October 22nd, 2022, February 2nd and 27th 2023). Vein hosted mineralisation remains open along strike and untested down-dip and highlights clear exploration upside for discovery of further silver and antimony rich sulphides. The 2025 drilling at Chumavichi has encountered similar sulphides to previously reported drillholes, adding to the story at this exciting epithermal target.

Drilling progressed steadily despite challenging ground conditions with over 94% average core recovery achieved.

Terra Balcanica Intersects Gold Mineralization Over 72 m and Starts Drill Program at Brezani Target in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 18th 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce an expansion of the surface gold skarn system at Brezani and the start of the Phase III drill program at its Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • The Brezani drillhole BRE23001 located 125 m SSW of the maiden Brezani drillhole intercepted 0.27 g/t Au over 72.3 m including 0.62 g/t Au over 7.5 m. Additionally, two antimony veined zones, 1.5 and 0.5 m wide were intersected, respectively (Figure 2);
  • The drillhole BRE23002 located 145 m northwest of BRE23001 intercepted 1.51 Zn% over 6 m including 0.54% Sb over 1.65 m as well as 0.6 g/t Au over 2.85 m;
  • The drillhole BRE23003 located 77 m southeast of the maiden Brezani drillhole encountered 0.19% Sb over 2.0m as well as 0.6 g/t Au over 2.85 m;
  • The drillhole BRE23004 located 92 m NNW of the maiden Brezani drillhole intercepted 0.62 g/t Au over 11.8 m including 1.03 g/t Au over 6.65 m;
  • Exploration upside: Au-bearing, retrograde, chlorite overprinted skarn at Brezani has been now confirmed over 200 m in the N-S direction as it overlies the SE extent of the 1.2 km, NE-shallowing conductor interpreted to be Sb-Ag-Zn mineralized.

The maiden Brezani drillhole BREDD002 intercepted 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m from surface (see Company news release from January 24th, 2023);

Terra Balcanica’s CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Mišković, commented:

We are pleased to have expanded the gold footprint at Brezani. The Au bearing metasomatized hornfels intercepted from surface at BREDD002 three years ago were not just a one-off as the follow up drilling clearly suggests a skarn with the gold mineralization over 200 m laterally. Being close to the surface, this is a considerable value add at Brezani given the NE-shallowing, 20 m wide, fault hosted silver antimony horizon which is the real focus of the current Phase III drill program.

Brezani is located 8.4 km south of the Mineco Ltd. Sase Mine which produces approximately 330 kt of lead-zinc-silver-gold concentrate per year (Figure 1). The target hosts components of a large magmatic-hydrothermal system discovered by airobrne TEM-magnetic and geochemical surveys. The BRE23001 through 23004 diamond drill holes are located within the Au-in-soil anomaly and were intended to assess lithological variability and grade of the Au skarn along strike. Additionally, the drillholes tested the resistive volume above an abrupt change into a central magnetic low shell within the general >95th percentile magnetic high anomaly to verify the lateral extent of 0.61 g/t Au Eq. In the central BREDD002 (Figure 3).

Table 2. Collar location and core recoveries for diamond drillholes BREDD001 and BREDD002 (UTM; WGS84).

The BRE 23001 drillhole was initially characterized by mudstone with patchy calc-silicate alteration and disseminated and vein-hosted pyrite-pyrrhotite followed by calc-silicate hornfels with pyroxene veining and disseminated and quartz veinlet hosted chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite (Figure 4). Medium grained garnet dominant exoskarn mineralogy is noted adjacent to chlorite-sericite altered diorite intrusives that have been altered to endoskarn with garnet and pyroxene.

A gradient from garnet to pyroxene skarn can be observed in BRE23001 with movement away from the intrusive contact. Epithermal quartz-carbonate veining with arsenopyrite, and stibnite was observed as well. There was notably more intrusive within the shallow part of BRE23001 than BREDD002. Quartz veins are crosscut by later pyrite and then carbonate-sulphide veins which create a strong chlorite vein selvage, commonly with pyrrhotite.

Figure 3. Conductivity-magnetic profile of the Brezani target looking NE. The four drill holes tested the resistive volume above an abrupt change into a central magnetic low shell (tirquoise blue) within the general >95th percentile magnetic high anomaly to verify the lateral extent of 0.61 g/t Au Eq. over 88 m from surface reported in the 674 m deep, central BREDD002.

The BRE23004 intersected 8 meters of exo-skarn/calc-silicate (9.5m – 19.5m) with small intervals of intrusive adding up to around 2 meters. The altered rock may not strictly be a skarn as the grain size is not coarse. The mineral banding is very well developed and is larger grained on the whole that our classic calc-silicate. The banding appears to follow relict bedding and tectonic folding. The skarn mineralogy contains: pyroxene-garnet-wollastonite-calcite-actinolite-chlorite-epidote.

There appears to be zonation with the upper part containing more light brown garnet bands and the lower part more dominant in blue pyroxene. An example of a similarly altered, blue pyroxene skarn interval returned up to 2.7g/t gold in BREDD002 from 37m to 38m. The intrusive appears to be sillicified possibly overprinting potassic with some sections altered to endoskarn. From 19.5 to 29 meters is an exoskarn/calc-silicate with small intervals of porphyry with some intervals altered to exoskarn. Banding within the skarn is well developed and similar to previous intervals.

Phase III Drilling

The 2025 drill program is a follow up onto the discovery made by the drill hole BREDD002 which intercepted ca. 20 m of intermediate sulfidation, base metal-rich, fault-breccia hosted Ag-Sb-Zn mineralization grading upwards of 436 g/t Ag Eq. which was previously detected via the 2021 heliborne TEM survey. The EM study revealed a 1.2 km long conductor shallowing towards northeast and eventually surfacing at the topographic high of the Brezani locality.

The mineralogical textures form the initial intercept pierced through the ore zone suggest a stratigraphic level that is apparently below the so-called “boiling zone” thus offering potential upside should one be intercepted updip during the current drill program. The lateral extent of the 17 degree dipping conductor interpreted as the Sb-Ag-Zn mineralization is 1.2 km in length, up to 600 m in width and 20 m thick as observed in BREDD002 offering a massive potential for a large tonnage ore body which is the goal of this year’s campaign. The company’s field team expressly built six drill pads on a challenging and steep terrane and the drilling has sommenced in earnest last Friday (Figure 5). Terra expects to comlete the first diamond drill hole by the end of Augist, 2025 with the laboratory assays in hand by mid to late September, 2025. A total of 2,100 m of drilling is planned with a possibility of increasing the program should intercepts justify further testing.

QA/QC

Half core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and subsequent wet chemical analysis at the Loughrea laboratory in Ireland, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified test facility. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method involved crushing the core to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1.0 kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals were analysed by ICP MS after a four-acid digest (ME-MS61). Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP AES finish (Au-ICP21). Over limit samples for base metals were re-analysed by the four-acid digest ICP-AES analyses termed ME-OG62. Control samples comprising the certified reference material CDN-ME-1501 (Canadian Resource Labs Ltd.), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 5% and investigated as part of the Company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Closes Fully Subscribed LIFE Offering

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 13th 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10) is pleased to announce the closing of the second and final tranche of its non-brokered, listed issuer financing exemption private placement (the “Private Placement” or “Offering”) for gross proceeds of C$302,581 through the issuance of 3,025,809 units (each a “Unit”) at a purchase price of C$0.10 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (“Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Common Share (“Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Private Placement or its respective tranches (the “Closing Date”). In connection with the final tranche of the Offering, finders’ fees in the amount of C$7,000 were paid and 70,000 non-transferable finder’s warrants (each, a “Finder’s Warrant”) were issued to arm’s length finders. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.20 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date. The Company closed an initial tranche of the Offering on July 11, 2025 in the amount of 8,149,141 Units for gross proceeds of C$814,914, as described in the Company’s press release dated July 11, 2025. The Company has thus closed on the maximum offering amount of C$1,117,495.

Aleksandar Mišković, President and CEO of the Company commented:

We are very pleased to have raised the full allowable LIFE amount as interest for the offering kept growing by the week. The Phase III drill campaign at Viogor-Zanik in Bosnia is now fully funded and commences imminently. I am on the site to personally oversee the rig turning at Brezani while Terra’s team is excited for a robust news release stream to come in the days ahead.

Kim Oishi, Director of the Company (the “Insider”), purchased 25,809 Units as part of the final tranche of the Offering. The issuance of the Units to the Insider constitutes a “related party transaction” as this term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). There has not been a material change in the percentage of the outstanding securities of the Company that are owned by the Insider as a result of his participation in the Offering. The Company is relying on the exemption from the valuation requirement and minority approval requirement pursuant to subsection 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the Insider participation does not represent more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The participation by the Insider in the Offering was approved by directors of the Company who are independent in connection with this transaction. No materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.

The Private Placement was conducted pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions. The securities issued to purchasers in the Private Placement are not subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Finder’s Warrant issued to finders in connection with the final tranche of the Offering, and the Common Shares issuable on exercise thereof, are subject to a hold period expiring on December 14, 2025 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Terra Balcanica Welcomes Acquisition of Neighboring Producer in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 3rd 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10) welcomes the acquisition of Adriatic Metals (ADT.AX) by the Canadian Dundee Precious Metals (DPM.TO) in a cash-and-stock deal valued at C$1.3 billion (https://dundeeprecious.com/news-media/news-releases/dundee-precious-metals-announces-proposed-acquisit-10180/). This development highlights the unique geological and jurisdictional potential of Bosnia and Herzegovina where Terra is advancing its Viogor-Zanik polymetallic project expected to see the Phase III drilling campaign start in the next two weeks.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

From the beginning, Terra’s operational focus was aimed at the highly prolific Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt as it extends over the western Balkans. The Company strategically targeted critical metals (Sb-Zn-Ag-Au) needed by the resource-hungry European economy which is what brought us to eastern Bosnia in 2020. Today’s major announcement of a mine located only 80 km west of our flagship polymetallic targets at Chumavichi and Brezani is a testament to both amazing rate of advancement of Adriatic’s Vareš mine but also the mineral resource riches of the jurisdiction in which we proudly operate. Although comparatively early in our corporate development, Terra’s next steps aim to drill-confirm the size potential of the Brezani Sb-Ag fault-hosted mineralization that could indicate the same order of magnitude of ore resources as seen at Vareš.

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt

Bosnia and Herzegovina is situated in is a largely overlooked but ancient European mining belt with multiple jurisdictional advantages that make it a country of choice to explore for metals needed by the energy transition markets.

Bosnia is a stable democracy that obtained a “candidate status” for EU membership in 2022 and is well on the way of synchronizing its legislative and legal frameworks with European standards. It is extensively linked by road and rail networks to European smelters and the seaborne markets via Adriatic Sea.

The population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in both entities and both local and federal government levels, is largely supportive of mining industry which is not surprising considering its rich history of coal, base and precious metal mining. The country possesses a highly skilled and business-minded workforce with a youthful engineering base keen to learn about mining and best practices in the mineral resource sector. Both Bosnian entities have enacted clear and concise mining codes with the country-wide corporate tax rate of 10% and favourable royalty regimes without free carry requirements.

The Western Tethyan Belt is the world’s preeminent metallogenic corridor akin to the Andes and Cordilleras of the Americas. In the Balkans, it is divided into the Cretaceous and Neogene components (Figure 1), both of which are known for multiple Tier-1 deposits of precious, base (Cu-Sb-Zn-Pb), and energy transition (Li-B) metals appearing in a variety of genetic styles (skarn, veined epithermal, porphyry and sediment-hosted associations)

Figure 1. Tethyan metallogenic belts of the Balkan Peninsula. Key regional projects include: the 21.1 Mt at 577 g/t AgEq. Vares silver project in Bosnia owned by Adriatic Metals, the 1.8 Bt at 0.86% Cu Čukaru Peki deposit in Timok, Serbia (Zijin Mining), and the JORC inferred resource of 7.4 Moz Au at the Rogozna project in south Serbia owned by Strickland Metals (STK.AX). The red arrows indicate locations of Terra’s Viogor-Zanik project and the Adriatic’s Vares mine, respectively.

Viogor-Zanik Project

Terra Balcanica is currently defining grade and ore approximate volumes of two polymetallic targets situated within our 168 km2 Viogor-Zanik project (Figure 2). The shallow, high grade character of structurally controlled mineralization yields to potentially easy-to-operate, open-pit or shallow underground mining operations. An additional benefit is presented by the adjacent Pb-Zn-Ag-Sb mine owned by Mineco Ltd. that generates 350 ktpa of ore concentrate with onsite crushing and flotation circuits.

After 2,200 m of diamond drilling completed at Chumavichi, high grade Ag-Sb-Pb-Zn-Au mineralizations have been confirmed at three targets spanning 2 km of strike along a shallow, fault-hosted, intermediate sulfidation, polymetallic vein system.

At the Company’s other Viogor-Zanik target of Brezani, where the Company drilled over 1,500 m of diamond core, Terra has discovered a retrograde, chlorite-overprinted gold skarn system starting from surface, superimposed on a >1.2 km long, NE-shallowing Ag-Sb-Pb-Zn mineralized, fault-hosted permeability corridor. Here, with the maiden diamond drill hole BREDD002, Terra intercepted a 20-m wide, antimony-silver mineralization grading 436 g/t Ag Eq.

Figure 2. Geological map of the Viogor Zanik project with the Brezani target in the southeastern part of the project. Cumavici, the other high-grade, shallow polymetallic target is located 13 km to NW. The centrally located Sase mine (Mineco Ltd.) produces 350,000 tpa of Pb-Zn-Ag concentrate.

Akin to Adriatic’s deposits at Rupice and Veovača deposits, the Viogor Zanik project features high grades of a similar mix of strategically needed metals dominated by silver, antimony and zinc that on average exceed 520 g/t Ag Eq. at Brezani and 1,200 g/t Ag Eq. at the Cumavici corridor.

Terra Balcanica Drills 436 g/t AgEq Over 19.6 m at Antimony-Silver Discovery in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 20th 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10) is pleased to announce strong assay results from a new discovery at the Brezani target within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Drillhole BREDD002 returned 436 g/t AgEq over 19.6 m including 746 g/t AgEq and 1.42 wt.% Sb over 9.8 m;
  • Another mineralization style confirmed at Brezani in addition to the gold skarn with 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m from surface (see Company’s news release dated 24th January 2023);
  • Mineralization trends towards surface and daylights in a topographic depression with As-Bi-Sb-Te anomalism in soil samples with a shallow “boiling-zone” drill target (Figure 1);
  • 4 shallow drillholes, aimed at expanding the footprint of the gold skarn have been completed within the > 800 m strike length gold in soil anomaly, with assay results pending.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

We are very pleased with the polymetallic assays from an interval thrice as wide as that average reported at our other Viogor-Zanik target at Cumavici. Not only have we discovered a new type of mineralization that shallows toward northeast, and as such could be easily explored from top down, but we have also confirmed the significant presence of antimony at Brezani which continues to be a scarce commodity worldwide due to supply issues and trade restrictions imposed on certain countries. Now, the drill-confirmed surficial Au bearing skarn is confirmed to be underlain by the significant fault-hosted polymetallic mineralization which itself is underpinned by andesitic porphyry. It is encouraging to see this resulted from the very first drill hole leaving a lot of upside potential at Brezani as Terra releases additional assays from the four shallower intercepts drilled into the surficial skarn.

Table 1. Assay results of the new epithermal discovery in drillhole BREDD002. Interval lengths reported are drilled lengths, not true widths. Silver equivalents (“AgEq”) are based on assumed metal prices of US$2,700/oz for gold (Au), US$30/oz for silver (Ag), US$1.40/lb for zinc (Zn), US$17.50/lb for antimony (Sb) and US$0.90/lb for lead (Pb). *Assumed metal recoveries of 90% Au, 93% Ag, 95% Sb, 94% Pb and Zn are based on published metallurgical tests on analogous intermediate sulphidation epithermal vein deposits. The Sb pricing derived from the Nov. 2024 average Rotterdam Warehouse 99.6% ingot price.

Drillcore Observations

Watch Brezani Technical Webinar on YouTube.

The zone of mineralization from 482.1 m consists of banded veins and sulphide cemented breccias with characteristics of both low and intermediate sulphidation epithermal deposits. The upper vein contact is sharp with minimal alteration progressing into the hornfels, whereas the vein footwall is brecciated and hosts strong clay alteration. The margins of the vein host repeating bands of chalcedonic quartz-rhodochrosite-calcite and sulphides/sulphosalts stibnite-pyrite-arsenopyrite-sphalerite-galena-jamesonite (Figure 2). The centre of the structure is dominated by hydrothermal breccia with a sulphide-quartz-carbonate cement. Clasts are banded vein fragments.

Figure 1. Section through the Brezani target illustrating conductivity and the 95th percentile magnetic shell. Drillhole BREDD002 is shown, with a tabular conductivity feature extending to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure with increased conductivity due to sulphide and clay within the broken rock mass. It passes through a break in the magnetics, which is further evidence of structural control.

Future Exploration Program

2023 drilling at the Brezani target uncovered a new style of mineralization at the contact between the skarn-hornfels package and underlying chlorite-sericite altered diorites. The epithermal mineralization encountered 482.1 m downhole is interpreted to shallow to the ENE creating a conductivity feature which passes through a magnetic low. A topographic low with an anomalous epithermal assemblage in soil and rock chip geochemistry is interpreted as the surface expression. Future drilling efforts will aim to intersect the epithermal mineralization shallow and explore for a “boiling zone” where precious metals may have been favourably precipitated.

QA/QC

Half core (HQ3) samples were delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and subsequent wet chemical analysis at the Loughrea laboratory in Ireland, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified test facility. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method involved crushing the core to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1.0 kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals were analysed by ICP MS after a four-acid digest (ME-MS61). Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP AES finish (Au-ICP21). Over limit samples for base metals were re-analysed by the four-acid digest ICP-AES analyses termed ME-OG62. Control samples comprising the certified reference material CDN-ME-1810 (Canadian Resource Labs Ltd.), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 9 % and investigated as part of the Company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Discovers Silver and Antimony Dominated Epithermal Mineralization at Brezani in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 15th 2025 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10) is pleased to announce the discovery of a ca. 20 m wide zone of polymetallic mineralization intercepted during the Phase II drilling at the Brezani target within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Continuation of drillhole BREDD002, which returned 88 m at 0.61 g/t AuEq from surface (see company news release dated 24th January 2023) has intercepted a substantial zone of low/intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization;
  • A ca. 10 m zone of continuous colloform/ginguro banded quartz-carbonate-sulphide and sulphide cemented breccia (Figure 1) sits at the upper contact of a structural zone where observed epithermal veining extends for a least 20 m;
  • Epithermal mineralization projects ENE towards surface following a conductivity gradient within a magnetic low and is interpreted to daylight in a topographic depression where As-Bi-Sb-Te is anomalous in soil sample assays, offering a shallower drill target (Figure 2);
  • Mineralization is polymetallic (Sb-Pb-Zn +/- Au-Ag) with evidence of several mineralizing and fluid boiling events (Figure 3);
  • Terminating at a depth of 674 m, the hole intercepted 118.4 m of chlorite-sericite altered diorite porphyry;
  • Terra has commenced a dense soil sampling program across the multi-domain Brezani hydrothermal system to enhance the domains of gold skarn and surface expression of epithermal mineralization (Figure 4);
  • Samples from BREDD002 are currently being analysed and will be reported after the internal QA/QC program has been completed and data deemed good quality.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

We are very excited with the Brezani discovery which adds further value to this multi-domain, polymetallic target. The significant mineralized intercept underlies the previously confirmed auriferous skarn starting from surface and overlies a porphyry system which Terra has been targeting at Viogor-Zanik from the very outset. We believe the potential of our discovery at Brezani, especially the macroscopically identified antimony sulfides, is tremendous considering the shallowing of the epithermal mineralization along a presumed fault to northeast and stratigraphic intercept below the boiling horizon which will be targeted by our future drill programs. Collectively, this is a thrilling development for Terra as we look forward to releasing the Brezani assay results shortly.

The Company commenced redrilling BREDD002 from 215 m where 2022 drilling efforts ended in a chlorite-sericite altered diorite porphyry, returning 0.26 g/t Au and reached a depth of 674 m.

The drillhole targeted a coincident magnetic and conductivity anomaly and intersected several zones of calc-silicate alteration associated with phyllic and chlorite-sericite altered diorite porphyries. A zone of epithermal mineralization within a large structure was intersected from 482.1 m downhole which marked the change into chlorite-sericite altered porphyritic diorites.

Figure 1. Photographs of three HQ3 diameter core boxes between 480.7 – 491.9 m in BREDD002. Photographs show the consistently well mineralized epithermal system which grades inwards from ginguro banded chalcedonic quartz-rhodochrosite-calcite-sulphide on the vein margins to a base metal rich central domain consisting of stibnite-sphalerite and minor galena breccia cement. Breccia is host to mineralized clasts of banded veins indicating multiple episodes of mineralization and boiling.

Drillcore Observations

The zone of mineralization from 482.1 m consists of banded veins and sulphide cemented breccias with characteristics of both low and intermediate sulphidation epithermal deposits. The upper vein contact is sharp with minimal alteration progressing into the hornfels, whereas the vein footwall is brecciated and hosts strong clay alteration. The margins of the vein host repeating bands of chalcedonic quartz-rhodochrosite-calcite and sulphides/sulphosalts stibnite-pyrite-arsenopyrite-sphalerite-galena-jamesonite. The centre of the structure is dominated by hydrothermal breccia with a sulphide-quartz-carbonate cement. Clasts are banded vein fragments.

BREDD002 ended at 674 m depth after 118.4 m of chlorite-sericite altered diorite porphyry intrusive. Sinuous quartz-pyrite-molybdenite veins, quartz-magnetite, anhydrite-carbonate, pyrite-chlorite, and pyrrhotite-carbonate veining is present alongside disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite. Alteration is interpreted as strongly overprinted potassic, by chlorite-sericite. Local phyllic and strong chlorite alteration is observed associated with carbonate-arsenopyrite-bismuthinite veins. The intrusive texture is partially destroyed by the silica groundmass flooding and formation of very fine-grained biotite giving the rock a reddish brown to grey-green colouration with chlorite replacement and coarser grained muscovite mica. Hornblende phenocrysts have been replaced by biotite and magnetite.

Figure 2. Section through the Brezani target illustrating conductivity and the 95th percentile magnetic shell. Drillhole BREDD002 is shown, with a tabular conductivity feature extending in cros section to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure with increased conductivity due to sulphide and clay within the broken rock mass. It passes through a break in the magnetics, which is further evidence of structural control.

Ongoing Exploration Program

Terra is undertaking a soil survey across the Brezani target on a 20 x 100 m grid (Figure 4). Sample frequency is tighter in the E/W direction perpendicular to the gold skarn and epithermal corridor. This will build on the initial 175 x 175 m, aqua regia ICP-MS soil sampling and delineate geochemical domains. The interpreted surface expression of the newly discovered epithermal mineralization will be covered, and results will assist in targeting prospective intervals along the strike length of this structure for shallow, follow up drilling. Analysis is undertaken by an Olympus Vanta unit and monitored by quality control using blanks and certified reference materials.

Terra Balcanica Highlights Silver and Antimony Potential of the Bosnian Viogor-Zanik Project

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 9th 2024 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10) is pleased to highlight the polymetallic potential of its 168 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia in anticipation of the Phase II drilling results

After approximately 2,200 m of diamond drilling completed at Chumavichi, high grade, fault-hosted Ag-Sb-Pb-Zn-Au mineralization has been confirmed at three targets spanning over 2 km along this shallow, fault dominated, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic vein system (Figures 1 and 2). At the Company’s second Viogor-Zanik target of Brezani (Figures 3), Terra discovered an auriferous skarn starting from surface, superimposed on a >1.2 km long, NE-shallowing Ag-Sb-Pb-Zn mineralized, fault-hosted permeability corridor itself overlying a porphyry andesitic stock (see the Company’s news release from April 11th, 2024). The Company completed over 1,200 m of diamond drilling at Brezani with additional drill hole assays to be released imminently

The significant potential of silver and antimony mineralization is highlighted by the drill results from Chumavichi (Table 1) and preliminary drill core observation from the Phase II drilling at Brezani.

Highlights

  • Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. with 1.85 wt.% Sb over 4.0 m from 29 m of depth, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq. with 3.7 wt.% Sb over 2 meters;
  • Chumavichi Ridge drill hole CMVDD002 intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
  • CMVDD003, 83-meter away from CMVDD001, intercepted a vein interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq. and 1.2 wt.% Sb over 8.7 m, including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. with 3.5 wt.% Sb over 2.0 meters;
  • Drillhole CMVDD005 returned 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq with 1.8 wt.% Sb over 2.0 m approximately 50 m west-northwest of CMVDD002 (Figure 2);
  • The Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD004 along the same drill fence 40 m northeast of CMVDD005 returned 505.3 g/t AgEq with 1.48 wt.% Sb over 11.0 m from 43.0 m depth including 3075.4 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) with 9.4 wt.% Sb over 1.7 m;
  • Shallow, polymetallic mineralization was also intersected 600 m NW of the Cumavici Ridge where two drill holes through a new parallel structure returned 1,041 g/t AgEq with 2.95 wt.% Sb over 0.75 m (CMV23007), and 554 g/t AgEq with 1.17 wt.% Sb over 1.10 m (CMV23009);
  • Drillhole CMV23004 intersected 1,489 g/t AgEq with 1.98 wt.% Sb over 1.35 m from 36.2 m downhole to add 42 m strike length SE of CMVDD002 with mineralization open down-dip;
  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected 557 g/t AgEq with 0.77 wt.% Sb over 4.15 m from 43.85 m and points to a down-dip continuation of the high-grade mineralization from CMV23004.

AgEq values are labelled for selected 2022 and 2023 drill intercepts (See Company’s new releases dated 13 November 2023, 27 February 2023). Current drilling efforts confirm mineralization over 82 m NW/SE strike length. (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N)

Figure 2. Fence diagram of Phase I and II drilling completed at the Cumavici Ridge target. Polymetallic mineralization intervals are highlighted in red. The mineralization remains untested and open down dip to the southwest and entirely open to the NW. The high-grade mineralization footprint currently sits at approximately 150 m (strike length) by 200 m in down dip direction

The Brezani Phase II drillhole BREDD002 has apparently intercepted stibnite-rich (Sb) epithermal mineralization between 482.1 and 505 m of depth (Figure 3). The zone of mineralization consists of banded veins and massive sulphide cemented breccias with structural and mineralogical characteristics of both low and intermediate sulphidation epithermal deposits. The upper vein contact is sharp with minimal alteration progressing into the hornfels, whereas the vein footwall is brecciated and hosts strong clay alteration. The margins of the vein host repeating bands of chalcedonic quartz-rhodochrosite-calcite and sulphides/sulphosalts stibnite-pyrite-arsenopyrite-sphalerite-galena-jamesonite. The centre of the mineralized structure is dominated by hydrothermal breccia with a sulphide-quartz-carbonate cement. Clasts are banded vein fragments.

The mineralized body is interpreted to be coincident with the zone of elevated conductivity as it shallows to NE (Figure 3). Where the coincident conductivity body and magnetic low response is matched with a N/S trending topographic depression, which grades into a steep sided creek. Exploration efforts within this creek have revealed numerous showings of As-Bi-Pb-Sb-Zn anomalous gossans and semi massive hematite-specularite. These gossans are evidence for epithermal fluids reaching the current surface level. It is possible that drilling efforts targeting this structure would intersect a series of veins and breccias in the hanging wall of the major target structure.

Section profile through the Brezani target integrating the location of the NE-shallowing, tabular mineralized structure identified downhole in BREDD002 between 482 and 505 m with the magnetic shell and smoothed conductivity voxel clipped to values above 27 mS/m. The conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure dominated by Sb sulphides and clay within the broken rock mass

Terra Balcanica Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Saskatchewan Uranium Assets

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 3rd 2024 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) a multi-jurisdictional, polymetallic exploration company focused on supporting the global transition to clean energy, is pleased to announce the signing of the definitive option agreement dated July 2, 2024 (“Agreement”) between the Company, Fulcrum Metals Plc. (“Fulcrum”, AIM:FMET) and Fulcrum Metals (Canada) Ltd. (“Fulcrum Canada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fulcrum, pursuant to which the Company will obtain a four-year option (the “Option”) to acquire a 100% interest in Fulcrum’s uranium portfolio of exploration licences (the “Licences”) located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada and collectively encompassing 596.71 km2 of highly prospective ground for a uranium discovery.

Pursuant to the Agreement, on closing (the “Option Closing Date”), Fulcrum and Fulcrum Canada will grant Terra the Option to acquire a 100% interest in the Licences, comprising Fulcrum’s Charlot-Neely Lake, Fontaine Lake, Snowbird, and South Pendleton licence clusters located along northern and southeastern margins of the renowned Athabasca Basin, the supplier of ca. 20% of world’s uranium and home to significant uranium deposits.

In consideration for the Option, Terra has paid C$25,000 in cash to Fulcrum to date.

Additionally, Terra may exercise the Option by paying Fulcrum cash according to the schedule below:

  • C$50,000 on the first anniversary of the Option Closing Date;
  • C$75,000 on the second anniversary of the Option Closing Date;
  • C$75,000 on the third anniversary of the Option Closing Date;
  • C$75,000 on the fourth anniversary of the Option Closing Date; and

issue Fulcrum Canada common shares of Terra at the 10-day volume weighted average trading price of Terra’s shares ending three trading days prior to the date of issuance, subject to the minimum pricing requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), as per the following schedule:

  • C$250,000 of Terra shares on the Option Closing Date;
  • C$350,000 of Terra shares on the anniversary of the Option Closing Date;
  • C$560,000 of Terra shares on the second anniversary of the Option Closing Date;
  • C$650,000 of Terra shares on the third anniversary of the Option Closing Date;
  • C$1,250,000 of Terra shares on the fourth anniversary of the Option Closing Date; and

The common shares of Terra issued under the terms of the Agreement and the Finder’s Fee Agreement will be subject to a hold period of four months from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws in Canada.

Highlights

  • 596.71 km2 of land tenure along northern and southeastern edges of the Athabasca Basin, a premium mining district and the leading global source of high-grade uranium with over 70 million lbs of U3O8 produced;
  • Surface uranium samples of up to 6.22 % U3O8 at Charlot-Neely and up to 1.44 % U3O8 at Fontaine-Lake licences with anomalous surface radiometric readings of >7,000 cps as well as rare earth element assays;
  • A historic (non-43-101 compliant) diamond drill hole intercept of 3.91 g/t Au over 45.8 m from surface at the Charlot-Neely licence;
  • The recent drill hole intercept of 1,309 cps over 8.7 m by Aero Energy and Fortune Bay on the Murmac project (see news release dated June 25th, 2024) is located only 20 km SW of Terra’s Charlot-Neely Lake licence and marks the first Beaverlodge District uranium discovery in more than half a century;
  • Historical work has demonstrated multiple occurrences of uranium mineralization along NE-SW structural corridors such as Black Bay fault, Black Lake shear, and the Snowbird tectonic zone and the many associated fault splays and graphitic conductors.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

The agreement signed with Fulcrum marks an exciting new chapter in Terra’s corporate history as a high-quality target generator and explorer of critically needed commodities. The Company is now exposed to a world-class uranium district that is experiencing a mining renaissance as evidenced by the recent discovery made just 20 km from of our flagship Charlot-Neely licence. With close to 600 km2 of land tenure, we are supremely positioned to take early-mover advantage of opportunities along the entire northern and eastern margins of Athabasca Basin. The optioned portfolio comprises geologically promising ground that has not seen modern surveying nor recent drilling. We are excited to approach it by applying the same level of technical rigor as we did in the Balkans to define drill targets with a high probability of success. In addition to multiple uranium occurrences, the licences feature gold, copper, nickel and cobalt showings. We are fortunate to have inherited a wealth of legacy data from Fulcrum along with the expertise of Mr. Gary Dunn, a veteran of uranium exploration in Saskatchewan. It will be an eventful autumn of prospecting, sampling, and structural mapping together with airborne geophysics to rapidly define drill targets.

Portfolio Overview

The optioned terrain in norther Saskatchewan is divided into 4 licence clusters targeting the NE-SW structures and associated electromagnetic conductors along strike from historic mines and projects that have attracted significant investment as zones most likely to host basement- and intrusive hosted uranium mineralizations (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin with the optioned licence portfolio

Southeastern margins of the Athabasca Basin are known locations of world-class discoveries such as the Arrow deposit discovered by NexGen Energy Ltd. (4.3 Mt at 0.83% U3O8), and the Triple R deposit (2.7 Mt at 1.94% U3O8) being developed by Fission Uranium Corp. Such sizable accumulations of uranium ore have proved the concept of exploring along fluid bearing structures outside the Basin that have been genetically interpreted to form either the basement or the so-called “Beaverlodge” styles of mineralization (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Three styles of uranium mineralization in northern Saskatchewan on an idealized cross-section of the Athabasca Basin. Terra Balcanica’s portfolio focuses on the margins of the Basin where the basement-hosted and so-called “Beaverlodge-style” mineralizations are found as surface expressions of deep-seated feeder dykes and crustal faults.

Terra will focus on this exploration paradigm however, the Company will aim to target major NE-SE trending faults and associated secondary structural corridors along northern margins of the Basin where close to 32,000 tons of U3O8 have been produced in the Beaverlodge District alone.

Charlot – Neely Lake

The flagship Charlot-Nely Lake property (Figure 3) covers 163.72 km2 and is located at the heart of the historic Beaverlodge District, 13 km NE of Uranium City. It is found within 10 km radius of the 14 historic mines and uranium ore producers. The licence covers more than 20 km strike length of the major Black Bay Fault with 16 km of previously identified, fault-parallel graphitic conductors. It also hosts significant REE potential given the adjacent Alces REE discovery by Appia with historical samples of over 31% U3O8 and over 16% REE.

Figure 3. Tenure map of the Beaverlodge District along northwestern margin of the Athabasca Basin with Terra’s flagship 168 km2 Charlot-Neely Lake property north of centre and 20 km NE along a major structural feature (Black Bay fault) from the recent drill intercept by Aero Energy Ltd.-Fortune Bay Corp. at the Murmac project.

The licence benefits from work completed in 2023 which confirmed uranium mineralization on surface of up to 0.55 % U and assays of 0.8% U3O8 confirmed at Peacock showing in 2023, and extensive zones of up to 7,000 cps (counts per second) radioactivity. Historic occurrences are noted of up to 6.22 % U3O8. The first order controls for basement hosted mineralisation are present with large scale structural features, linear conductors that possibly contain graphitic horizons as important reductants and surface uranium anomalism. There is also note of gold drilling intercept of 3.91 g/t Au over 45.8 m from surface (DDH17) which adds additional exploration appeal to the licence (Figure 4).

The Company will focus on high-grade sources of the surficial uranium showings along most radioactive segments of the graphitic conductors as previously untested drill targets.

Figure 4. Charlot-Neely Lake licence cluster encompasses 168 km2 and captures 20 km of the along-strike extent of the Black Bay Fault system with its splays and associated electromagnetic conductors. These graphitic seams serve as favourable redox traps for oxidizing uranium-bearing fluids channelled by deeps seated faults and shears. Multiple anomalously radioactive locations are scattered throughout the tenure.

Fontaine Lake and Snowbird

These licences stretch over 388 km2 and straddle the Grease River Shear Zone, its sub-faults as well as the Snowbird Tectonic Zone (Figure 5). The Black Lake Shear Zone which also transects the Snowbird licence cluster can be traced for 200 km across the Athabasca Basin and is associated with Cameco’s Centennial project. Additionally, the Cora and Legs Lake Shear Zones contain multiple airborne radioactivity anomalies that were not followed up on trend. Haymac Mines has recently restarted mining at Nisto Mine which is known for having shipped 500 tons of high-grade ore to Uranium City in the 1950s with one shipment being 106 tons grading 1.6% U3O8. A minimal field program was completed at Fontaine Lake in 2008 with surficial showings of 1% uranium while further work was recommended by CanAlaska Uranium that leaves plenty of discovery potential.

South Pendleton

The South Pendleton property sits upon the Needle Falls Shear Zone and covers 44.76 km2 of terrain along southeastern edge of the Athabasca Basin. It is proximal to Skyharbour Resources’ South Falcon project. It features the same basement lithologies as those hosting the prolific Key Lake and Rabbit Lake mines however, several surficial radioactive anomalies and occurrences of uranium mineralization have not been explored yet.

Fontaine Lake and Snowbird licence clusters jointly encompass 388 km2 of terrain along northern and northeastern margins of the Athabasca Basin strategically covering both the Black Lake shear zone and the coupled Grease River and Snowbird Tectonic Zones with their NNE-SSW faults and splays.

Exploration Plan

The Company intends to review cumulative legacy data set by including company assessment reports, historic governmental maps and surveys, extracting findings from research papers, compiling locations of key showings and combining it all into an internally consistent GIS database. Subsequently, Terra will commission a combined, >3,000 line-kilometer, airborne geophysical survey comprising V-TEM Plus electromagnetic and radiometric measurements along a tight, 150-spaced flight grid over all four licence clusters. Data obtained from the geophysics will be combined with the existing GIS database to identify high-priority target zones to follow up by a month and a half of detailed field work including ground radiometrics and lithological sampling in autumn of 2024. Our goal is to immediately generate and rank a dozen drill targets along key structural corridors to be tested in early spring of 2025. Work with the local First Nations to obtain social license to operate and work collaboratively will begin in earnest this summer.

Terra Balcanica Provides Exploration Activities Update on High Grade Silver and Gold Targets at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 11th 2024 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to provide an update from the Phase I and II exploration drilling within its principal 168 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Company completed approximately 2,200 m of drilling along a shallow, high grade, silver-dominated, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system at the locality known as Chumavichi (Figures 1 and 2). This semi-continuous, 7.2 km-long structural corridor associated with a low magnetic response was previously largely untested by drilling and hosts altered volcanic tuffs and breccias with occurrences of massive Pb, Zn and Fe sulphides.

At the Company’s second Viogor-Zanik target of Brezani (Figures 1 and 3), Terra discovered a surficial auriferous skarn superimposed on an Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralized, NE-shallowing structural system itself overlying porphyry andesites stock from 550 m of depth. The target is characterized by overlapping 1.2 km wide magnetic and EM anomalies with over 700 meters wide Au-Bi-Zn anomaly at surface and banded skarn outcrops with sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Similar geophysical signatures are detected at the 4.1 Moz Au Eq. Rogozna Au-Cu skarn project in SW Serbia (https://ibaera.com/rogozna-shanac-resources-increase-to-4-6-moz-au-eq/). The Company completed approximately 1,200 m of diamond drilling at Brezani with additional assays to be released shortly.

Highlights

  • Maiden Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m from 29 m of depth, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters;
  • Chumavichi Ridge drill hole CMVDD002 intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
  • CMVDD003, an 83-meter step-out from CMVDD001, intercepted a vein interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 meters, including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters, and is open at depth;
  • The step out drillhole CMVDD005 returned 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m (see Figure 3) approximately 50 m west-northwest of CMVDD002;
  • The Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD004 along the same drill fence 40 m northeast of CMVDD005 returned 505.3 g/t AgEq over 11.0 m from 43.0 m depth including 3075.4 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) over 1.7 m;
  • Shallow, polymetallic mineralization was also intersected 600 m NW of the discovery hole at the Cumavici Ridge where two drill holes through a new parallel structure returned 531 g/t AgEq over 0.75 m (CMV23007), and 355 g/t AgEq over 1.10 m (CMV23009);
  • The Phase II drillhole CMV23004 intersected 1,168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m from 36.2 m downhole to add 42 m strike length SE of CMVDD002 with mineralization remaining open and untested down-dip (Figure 2);
  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected 457 g/t AgEq over 4.15 m from 43.85 m downhole and points to a wider down-dip continuation of the high-grade mineralization from the previously reported CMV23004 (Figure 2);
  • Drill testing of the 650 m-wide, conductivity high at the centre a 1.2 km wide anomalously magnetic rock volume at Brezani intercepted 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m (BREDD002) and 0.58 g/t AuEq over 28.6 m(BREDD001). Continuation of this drillhole along same azimuth and dip to depth of 674 m has intercepted a substantial width of low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization and potassically altered, porphyritic andesites overprinted by chlorite from 550 m depth (Figure 3).

Figure 1. Geological map of the Viogor-Zanik project illustrating the drilled targets during the Phase II campaign. Cumavici is observed in the NW of the license package with the Brezani discovery 12 km to the SE. The operating Sase mine producing 350ktpa of Pb-Zn-Ag-Sb-Au concentrate is located 7 km east of Chumavichi (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N).

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

After a year of systematic targeting followed by approximately 3,400 m of diamond drilling over the last two years, we are proud to lay claims to two precious metal rich, polymetallic discoveries at an emerging European mining jurisdiction. Our systematic high grade silver intercepts from two of the five defined Chumavichi corridor targets are indications of its outstanding potential considering it is located only 7 km west of Mineco’s silver mine at Sase. Our recent discovery of similar polymetallic mineralization at Brezani adds further value to this multi-domain target. There, a significant mineralized intercept underlies the previously confirmed auriferous skarn starting from surface and overlies a porphyry system which Terra has been targeting at Viogor-Zanik from the very outset. We believe the potential of our discovery at Brezani is tremendous considering the shallowing of the epithermal mineralization along a presumed fault to northeast and stratigraphic intercept below the boiling horizon which will be targeted by our future drill programs. Collectively, this is a thrilling development for Terra as we aim to release assay results from additional five drill holes at Brezani and prepare for a continued definition of this massive magmatic-hydrothermal system in eastern Bosnia.

Figure 2. Fence diagram of Phase I and II drilling completed at the Cumavici Ridge target. Polymetallic mineralization intervals are highlighted in red. The mineralization remains untested and open down dip to the southwest and entirely open to the NW. The high-grade mineralization footprint currently sits at approximately 92 m (strike length) by 150 m in down dip direction.

Upcoming Results

Laboratory assays results from section of drill hole BREDD002 below 215 m depth (Figure 3) are pending QA/QC verification and will be released imminently. Additionally, four more diamond drill holes (BRE23001-004) between depths of 120 and 160 m that tested the surface gold bearing calc-silicatesand magmatic breccias will be released in comings months.

Figure 3. Section through the Brezani target illustrating conductivity and the 95th percentile magnetic shell. Drillhole BREDD002 is shown, with a tabular conductivity feature extending to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure with increased conductivity due to sulphide and clay within the broken rock mass. It passes through a break in the magnetics, which is further evidence of structural control.

QAQC

Half core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered by truck to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 9% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Executes Letter of Intent for Option Agreement to Acquire 100% Interest in Advanced Saskatchewan Uranium Portfolio

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 3rd 2024 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1), a multi-jurisdictional exploration company focused on supporting the global transition to clean energy, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “Agreement”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of Fulcrum Metals Plc., (“Fulcrum”, AIM:FMET). Pursuant to the Agreement, Terra will have an option (the “Option Agreement”) to acquire a 100% interest in Fulcrum’s Charlot-Neely, Fontaine Lake, Snowbird and South Pendleton uranium licences (the “Licences”) located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada and collectively encompassing 596.71 km2 of highly prospective ground for a uranium discovery.

Highlights

  • Proximal to northern and southeastern edges of the Athabasca Basin (“Basin”) in northern Saskatchewan, a premium mining district and leading global source of high-grade uranium;
  • Charlot-Neely is located within the emerging Uranium City district on the northwestern margin of the Basin;
  • Historical work at the projects has demonstrated evidence of uranium mineralization along favourable structural trends with prospective target horizons based on electromagnetic conductors;
  • Future exploration requires the undertaking of a modern systematic geologic fieldwork to determine the uranium potential.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

In our pursuit of high-quality assets worldwide, Terra Balcanica has secured an option to acquire a Canadian uranium portfolio covering close to 600 km2 with tremendous potential for discovery. In a world transitioning to green energy solutions, the acquisition of these assets provides a more robust and diverse exploration portfolio for Terra. Although there has been an increase in activity in the uranium sector, we are at the early stages of a commodity super-cycle and being able to acquire such a large, advanced uranium portfolio on favourable terms was a clear opportunity for our shareholders. It is the right time, jurisdiction, and commodity to augment our advanced Balkan portfolio and to further participate in the changing energy landscape. We look forward to working with Fulcrum to apply their technical and jurisdictional expertise to advance these Saskatchewan uranium projects, and we are excited by the addition of a strategic commodity to Terra’s existing polymetallic portfolio.

Portfolio Overview and Discovery Opportunity

The licence portfolio totals 596.71 km2 targeting major NE-SW trending structures along strike from historic uranium mines and projects that have attracted significant investment.

Terra Balcanica Intercepts 551 g/t AgEq Over 4.8 m at Cumavici Ridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 30th 2024 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce the final geochemical assay results from the Phase II drill campaign at Cumavici Ridge confirming continuation of the high-grade epithermal vein mineralization at the Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Drillhole CMV23001 intersected 551 g/t AgEq over 4.8 m from 11 m downhole with a further mineralized interval of 669 g/t AgEq over 0.3 m from 31.60 m (Table 1);
  • Drillhole CMV23001 is located on the same platform as previously CMV23002b which returned 499 g/t AgEq over 3.8 m from 22 m reported (see Company news release 17 January 2024);
  • The Cumavici Ridge mineralization remains open and untested immediately northwest and down-dip to the southwest, which will be targeted by our 2024 Phase III drill program;
  • Further assay results from the 2023 Phase II drilling program are pending release, including 4 shallow drillholes at the Brezani Au skarn, which aim to add strike length to the previously reported 88.0 m at 0.61 g/t AuEq from surface (news release dated 24 January 2023).

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

Terra keeps on confirming average grades of over 500 g/t Ag Eq and average mineralization thicknesses of approximately 5-10 m of massive sulfides and associated Ag-Sb-Pb-Zn-Au mineralogy at Cumavici Ridge which is only one of six target zones along the 7.2 km corridor of vein-hosted epithermal mineralization. This zone is de-risked by drilling shallow, high grade silver mineralization at both the Cumavici Ridge and Joseva targets over 2.3 km apart. We are very excited to carry on adding to the existing mineralized horizon at Cumavici Ridge by testing it down dip to SW as well as along strike to NW while expanding drill campaign to Cumurnica and two other targets along the corridor in 2024.

QAQC

Half core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered by truck to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 9% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Drills 499 g/T AgGEq Over 3.8 m at Cumavici Ridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Closes Private Placement Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 17th 2024 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the 2023 Phase II drill campaign confirming continuation of the high-grade Cumavici Ridge polymetallic mineralization within its flagship Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Company further announces closing of the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) of shares (the ”Shares”) for total gross proceeds of $212,200.

Highlights

  • Drillhole CMV23002b intersected 499 g/t AgEq over 3.8 m from 22 m downhole with a further mineralized interval of 227 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m from 31 m (Table 1);
  • Drillhole collar for CMV23002b is located 39 m northeast of previously reported CMV23003 and 004 and 38 m SE of 2022 drillhole CMVDD001 which returned:
    • CMVDD001 – 824 g/t AgEq over 4 m (see company news release dated 8th September, 2022);
    • CMV23003 – 457 g/t AgEq over 4.15 m;
    • CMV23004 – 1168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m;
  • The mineralization remains open immediately northwest and down-dip to the southwest;

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

We are delighted to continue reporting impressive silver grades from the central Cumavici Ridge system. This polymetallic, near-surface target keeps on delivering and is open along strike and down-dip. Cumavici Ridge is only one of five target zones along the 7.2 km NW-SE trending fault-hosted system that remains to be drilled, thus offering upside to advance a deposit immediately adjacent to the existing Sase Pb-Zn-Ag mine with infrastructure including mining and processing facilities. We are excited to continue advancing Viogor-Zanik’s full potential as a unique critical raw minerals land package right at Europe’s doorsteps. Additional assay results will continue to be released very shortly.

Terra Balcanica Intersects 457 g/t AgEq Over 4.15 m at Central Cumavici Ridge Target in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – November 13th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce further high-grade assay results from the Phase II drill campaign confirming a continuation of the Cumavici Ridge epithermal vein zone within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected 457 g/t AgEq over 4.15 m from 43.85 m downhole (Table 1). The mineralized footprint at Cumavici Ridge has expanded significantly over the past 18 months (see Company news release dated 8th and 20th September as well as 22nd October 2022, 11th January, 2nd February, and 27th February 2023) where the Phase I drill results included:
    • CMVDD001 – 824.2 g/t AgEq over 4 m
    • CMVDD002 – 816.1 g/t AgEq over 2 m
    • CMVDD003 – 465.5 g/t AgEq over 8.7 m
    • CMVDD004 – 505.3 g/t AgEq over 11 m
    • CMVDD005 – 284 g/t AgEq over 10 m
  • Mineralized vein intercept points to a wider down-dip continuation of the high-grade mineralization from the previously reported 1,168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m (see company news release dated 7th November 2023) in drillhole CMV23004, which is open and untested at depth to the SW (Figure 1);
  • Results from CMV23004 and CMV23003 have added ca. 45 m strike length SE to the previously reported CMVDD002 which returned 816.1 g/t AgEq over 2 m (see company news release dated 22nd October 2022); The mineralized footprint at Cumavici Ridge now extends over 600 meters and remains open along strike and at depth (Figure 2);
  • Further 2023 assay intervals to follow from Cumavici Ridge including CMV23001 and 002b, both of which intercepted massive sulphide mineralization as shallow as 7.1 m downhole.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

The latest drill intercept reaffirms both continuity and silver-dominated polymetallic grades continuously intercepted at the Cumavici Ridge target. Together with the 600 m northwesterly step out zone, the central Ridge area now forms a potentially continuous half a kilometer long mineralized footprint where hypothesized shallow, vein-hosted massive sulphides await drill confirmation. We have further assay results to release from the Cumavici target zone as well as pending assay results from the Brezani gold skarn-copper porphyry target which is the other Viogor-Zanik prospect that was drill tested during 2023. It will be exciting next few months for our Company as we position ourselves as the critical metals explorer of choice in the western Balkans.

Future Exploration Program

The Cumavici Ridge epithermal mineralisation can be observed on surface and has been intercepted as shallow as 7.1 m downhole in CMV23001 (observations released 18th April 2023 with assays pending release). The drill hole CMV23003 (Table 2) intersected the mineralisation at 43.85 m downhole and marks a significant down-dip extension, which remains open and untested further down-dip to the southwest (Figure 1). Future exploration at the target will step NW towards CMV23007 and 009 which both intersected mineralization over 600 m along strike.

Phase II Viogor-Zanik Drill Campaign Results

In addition to the silver dominated Cumavici vein, the Company has drill tested the 650 m wide conductivity high at the centre a 1.2 km wide anomalously magnetic volume of rock at Brezani (Figure 3). Here, potassic altered porphyritic andesites were overprinted by chlorite and sporadically intrude gold-bearing calc-silicate skarn that returned 88.0 m of 0.61 g/t AuEq from surface (see Company news release dated 24th of January 2023). The redrilled Phase I drill hole has been extended to depth of 674 m along the same dip and azimuth.

Figure 3. Geological map of the Viogor-Zanik project illustrating the drilled targets during the Phase II campaign. Cumavici is observed in the NW of the license package with the Brezani discovery 12 km to the SE, attesting to the underexplored and prospectivity of the Viogor-Zanik project

From 480 m downhole in BREDD002 and coincident with a tabular conductivity body, drilling intersected an intensely mineralized structure with a substantial increase in the volume of sulfide minerals and density of carbonate base metal veins. This structure, interpreted as a low angle thrust fault, appears to surface in the NE where gossanous material was previously mapped. This provides an apparently continuous structure for further drill-testing as it shallows. Additionally, four more drill holes between depths of 120 and 160 m tested the surface gold bearing calc-silicates with the laboratory assays for the entire Brezani program pending.

QAQC

Half core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered by truck to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 9% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Drills 1168 g/t AgEq Over 1.35 m at Cumavici Ridge and Confirms New Mineralization Over 600 m Northwest

Vancouver, British Columbia – November 5th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce geochemical assay results from the Phase II drill campaign confirming continuation of the high-grade Cumavici Ridge epithermal vein within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Drillhole CMV23004 intersected 1,168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m from 36.2 mdownhole (Table 1);
  • Successful results add 42 m strike length SE of previously reported CMVDD002 which returned 816.1 g/t AgEq over 2 m (see company news release dated 22nd October 2022) with mineralization remaining open and untested down-dip (Figures 1 and 2);
  • Over 600 m northwest of Cumavici Ridge drillholes CMV23007 and CMV23009 returned 531 g/t AgEq over 0.75 m and 355 g/t AgEq over 1.10 m respectively;
  • More assay intervals to follow from the 2023 drill program at Cumavici Ridge

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

It is very exciting to continue proving up high grade silver-dominated mineralization this close to surface. The CMV23004 drillhole now confirms over 100 m of continuous high-grade mineralization at the centre of the Cumavici Ridge target. Moreover, the newly detected mineralized structure over half a kilometer to northwest speaks to the lateral extent of this prospect and provides plenty of opportunity for infill drilling to delineate its full scale, width, and grade. Our subsurface 3D geological model has been proven and is continuously refined with each successive drill hole to provide optimal targets down dip and along strike. We will be thrilled to highlight the remaining drill results from Cumavici Ridge as soon as the internal QA/QC protocol is completed.

Terra Balcanica Completes Phase II Drilling at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia and Closes Private Placement Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 25th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce closing of the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) of units (the ”Units”) for total gross proceeds of $1,212,778. The Company further announces that it has completed the 2,000 m, Phase II drill program at the flagship, 216 km2 Viogor-Zanik project (the “Project”) in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • In total, 17 diamond drill holes were completed during the 2023 Phase II campaign totalling approximately 2,000 m with a significant number of them macroscopically exhibiting sulphide mineralization. Twelve drill holes were completed at the polymetallic silver-lead-zinc Cumavici target while 5 holes were drilled at the Au-Cu, skarn-porphyry Brezani target (see Figures 1 and 2). All drill holes are at the ALS laboratory in Serbia with assays expected by the beginning of October;
  • Terra has raised $1,212,778 pursuant to the Offering announced on April 4th, 2023.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

The conclusion of exploration drilling perfectly coincided with the closing of the private placement financing. I am proud of the field efforts made by the entire team Terra Balcanica but equally thankful to all those who helped raise the funds needed to advance our key assets in Bosnia and Serbia. Having finalized an oversubscribed financing of over $1.2M in such a challenging macroeconomic environment is a positive signal and has allowed us to complete a robust, 17-hole 2,000-meter Phase II drill program and materially advance the flagship Viogor-Zanik project. The composite drill core samples are now awaiting laboratory completion and an internal QA/QC check before being released as a part of Terra’s steady news flow for months to come.

Drilling Brezani Target Completed

The 2023 diamond drilling at the Brezani target focussed on testing the coincident magnetic-conductivity anomaly at depth below the Au-skarn mineralisation observed on surface. Further shallow drillholes BRE23001-004 aimed to add scale to the initial 88 m at 0.61 g/t AuEq intercepted in drillhole BREDD002 (See Company’s news release dated 24th January 2023), all within a > 800 m NW/SE trending Au in soil anomaly.

Drillhole BREDD002: Continued from a depth of 215 m to 674 m in 2023 commencing in the same chlorite-sericite altered diorite which returned 0.26 g/t Au (214 – 215 m) in 2022 drilling. At a depth of 482.1 m a 9.8 m continuous zone of banded vein and sulphide cemented breccias with characteristics of both low and intermediate sulphidation epithermal deposits was intersected. The margins of the vein host repeating bands of chalcedonic quartz-rhodochrosite-calcite and sulphides/sulphosalts stibnite-pyrite-arsenopyrite-sphalerite-galena-jamesonite. The centre of the structure is dominated by hydrothermal breccia with a sulphide-quartz-carbonate cement. Clasts are banded vein fragments and wall rock hornfels. In the vein footwall the lithology changed to 118.4 m of chlorite-sericite altered diorite porphyry intrusive. Sinuous quartz-pyrite-molybdenite veins, quartz-magnetite, anhydrite-carbonate, pyrite-chlorite, and pyrrhotite-carbonate veining is present alongside disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite.

Drillhole BRE23001: Located 102 m SW of the initial discovery hole at Brezani, which returned 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88 m from surface BRE23001 intercepted a similar package of calc-silicate mineralisation with a strong chlorite retrograde overprint. Intervals of coarse garnet-pyroxene skarn were also intercepted in contact with dioritic intrusives.

Figure 1. Geological map illustrating the 2022 and 2023 drillholes at the silver-dominated, polymetallic Cumavici Ridge target 12 km northwest from the Brezani target

Drillhole BRE23002: Located 91 m west of BREDD002 intersected a new style of mineralization for the Brezani target. Commencing at 98 m depth a sulphide-calcite cemented contact breccia between altered diorite and silicic hornfels was encountered. The sulphide matrix was composed of pyrite-sphalerite-galena-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite with individual sphalerite crystals up to 3 cm. The breccia was semi-continuous until 105.2m where it graded into patchy brecciation and intermediate sulphidation veining to 117.6 m. Detailed observations of BRE23001-004 will be completed and updates released in due course.

Final Tranche of Private Placement Financing Closed

The Company issued an aggregate of 1,826,470 Units at a price of $0.085 per Unit for gross proceeds of $155,250 pursuant to the Offering announced on April 4th, 2023. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.13 until September 22nd, 2026. Finders’ fees in the amount of $3,570 were paid in the final tranche of the Offering.

In total, the Company has issued 14,267,967 units at a price of $0.085 for gross proceeds of $1,212,778. Terra used the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and to finance the Phase II drilling of the two target zones in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Terra Balcanica Intersects Mineralized Structure 640 m Along Strike From Cumavici Ridge Polymetallic Epithermal Vein in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – Septe,ber 5th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce discovery of a new mineralized structure over 600 m northwest from the recently reported CMV23001 at the Cumavici Ridge epithermal vein target within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Shallow, polymetallic mineralization has been intersected over 600 m NW of the 2022 high grade, silver discovery at the Cumavici Ridge through drill testing of a new parallel structure (Figure 1);
  • All 5 drill holes hit the target structure, with drill holes CMV23007, CMV23009 and CMV23010 macroscopically displaying significant mineralization (Figure 2 and 3);
  • Step out structure is continuous for 193 m NW-SE and open along strike and down-dip;
  • Geochemical assay results from the Phase II Stage 1 drilling at the Cumavici polymetallic prospect are pending laboratory release and will be imminently reported.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

The 2023 drill campaign started off on the right foot with a significant step out from the centre of the mineralized zone discovered at the Cumavici Ridge in 2022. The footprint of silver-dominated, polymetallic mineralization now extends over 700 m along the NW-SE corridor at this locality, only one of five separate targets along the 7.2 km long Cumavici corridor. The laboratory assays for this sector of the mineralized vein structure as well as the central part of the Ridge zone are expected back shortly while Terra plans to carry on with further drilling at the locality as a part of the Phase II Stage 2 campaign.

The Company commenced its Phase II, Stage 1 drilling program at Cumavici Ridge, the 2022 high-grade polymetallic discovery which returned up to 505 g/t Ag Eq. over 11 m, by extending the mineralized footprint 39 m SE with the interception of massive sulphide mineralization in all 4 holes (see Company news release dated 18th April 2023). Over 600 m to the NW Drillholes CMV23006-010 successfully discovered yet another mineralized structure, attesting to the prospectivity of the Cumavici Ridge target. Much of the > 7 km strike length structural corridor remains untested, with several mineralized structures cropping out at surface, offering Terra significant opportunity to discover more polymetallic epithermal veining.

Drill Core Observations

Drill hole CMV23007 is situated 520 m NW of CMV23001 and targets another shallow structure prospective for polymetallic mineralization. Between 39.1 and 41.8 m a series of fault hosted veins, dominated by radiating aggregates of stibnite are observed within a silicified lapilli tuff.

Figure 1. Geological map illustrating the newly discovered structure > 600 m NW of Cumavici Ridge. 2022 discovery holes are also illustrated alongside the 4 previously released 2023 drillholes to the SE, which all intercepted massive sulphide mineralization. See company news release 18th April 2023

Figure 2. HQ3 diameter drill core from drillhole CMV23007 illustrating a silicified lapilli tuff with sulphide veinlets and interval of semi-massive sulphide comprising stibnite, sphalerite, and quartz

Drill hole CMV23009 collared 74.0 m NW of CMV23007 intercepted a zone of sulphide mineralization within a tuffaceous breccia between 39.4 and 45.7 m downhole. Within the mineralized structure there are intervals of complete replacement of the breccia matrix by sulphide and a 10 cm sulphide vein comprising stibnite-sphalerite-galena.

Drill hole CMV23010 stepped 59.0 m WNW and intersected a mineralised zone between 83.8 and 90.3 m downhole with aggregates of sphalerite within the structure. A 10 cm sulphide vein is present at 86.85 m depth consisting of stibnite, banded sphalerite, and galena. Confirmation of sulphide mineralization in CMV23010 extends the system at Cumavici Ridge to 642 m leaving it open to the NW.

Ongoing Exploration Program

Further drilling at the Cumavici Ridge target will be focused on extending strike length towards the NW from the 2022 drillholes (CMVDD001-004). It is interpreted that where the NW/SE structure is intersected by a 2nd order NE/SW structure a dilation zone is present, resulting in thicker mineralized intervals. The down-dip section of the high-grade intercepts released in 2022 will also be tested for the first time.

Terra Balcanica Continues Testing Brezani Porphyry Target in Bosnia and Closes Third Tranche of Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 20th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce closing of the 3rd tranche of the non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) of units (the ”Units”) as it continues drilling the Brezani porphyry target in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Brezani Phase II Drilling Campaign

The Company is testing a 650 m wide conductivity high at the centre of an anomalously magnetic volume of rock, 1.2 km in diameter, where potassic altered porphyritic andesites overprinted by chlorite are found below a gold-bearing skarn (Figure 1). Here, the electrically resistive unit returned 88.0 m of 0.61 g/t AuEq from surface (see Company news release dated 24th of January 2023). The redrilled Phase I drill hole has now been extended beyond its 2022 terminal depth of 215 m along the same dip and azimuth. The HQ diameter diamond drill bit has now reached 456 m as it progresses at a rate of ca. 20 m daily to intercept the >60 mS/m conductor in a week.

Figure 1. A NW-SE geophysical cross section showing the trajectory of the drillhole BREDD002. At 323m, the conductivity reaches 15mS/m and coincides with a pyrite rich footwall indicating that the subsurface resistivity is chiefly controlled by the rock sulfide content. Phyllic altered feldspar phyric andesite (lower right) contains marcasite rich groundmass with up to 2,000 ppm Sb and 600 ppm Co. Also present are pyrite veins with crosscutting calcite centrelines that yield up to 1,000 ppm Cu

BREDD002 Geology

From 240 m to 374.7m below surface, Terra’s BREDD002 drillhole has intersected a large package of phyllic altered hornfels with intermittent porphyry intrusions, crosscut at high angles and associated with both calc-silicate alteration and carbonate base metal veining.

At depth of 320 m and spatially coincident with a sub-horizontal conductivity change drilling has penetrated an intensely silicified structure underneath which there is a substantial increase in the volume of sulfide minerals and density of carbonate base metal veins (Figure 2). This structure, interpreted as a low-angle reverse fault, appears to intersect surface toward NW around the same area where gossanous material was previously mapped. It is suggested that this zone could be a target for intersection of carbonate-hosted, base metal veining.

The fault zone is characterized by increased pyrite veining and minor Zn, Sb, Sn anomalies and up to 2,100 ppm arsenic measured by the pXRF technique. If the current observed modal proportions of pyrite stay above 5 vol.% underneath the fault zone, along with the ubiquitous phyllic alteration overprint, this could be interpreted as evidence of the outer pyrite shell within a classic porphyry system and an indicator of potentially fertile ore system below.

Third Tranche Private Placement Financing Closed

The Company issued an aggregate of 1,194,118 Units at a price of $0.085 per Unit for gross proceeds of $101,500 pursuant to the Offering announced on April 4th, 2023. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.13 until July 19th, 2026. Finders’ fees in the amount of $1,190 were paid.

Inclusive of the third tranche the Company has issued 9,575,268 units at a price of $0.085 for gross proceeds of $813,898 to date while continuing to raise funds until the end of July. Terra intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and to finance the Phase II drilling across its portfolio of properties in Bosnia and Serbia.

Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued and issuable in connection with the closing of the Private Placement will be subject to a four (4) month hold period ending November 20th, 2023.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States.

The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction will be subject to a hold period of four (4) months and one (1) day from the date of issuance.

Phase II Drilling Starts at Brezani Target

The Company is recommencing diamond core drilling of the Brezani porphyry system to test a > 600 m wide conductivity anomaly at the centre of a 1.2 km wide anomalously magnetic volume of rock overprinted by potassic alteration under a gold-bearing skarn discovered in 2022 (Figure 1). Drilling within this electrically resistive unit returned 88.0 m of 0.61 g/t AuEq from surface (see company news release dated 24th of January 2023)

Concurrently with the Phase 2 Cumavici drilling program at Viogor-Zanik Terra’s geology team has expanded the strike length of calc-silicate hornfels at Brezani to over 800 m NW-SE and 275 m NE-SW thus expanding the volume of gold-bearing rock to drill test. Sulphide content and grain size increases to the south of the trend, indicating a possible proximity indicator to intrusive contact. The package of calc silicates is interpreted as a mineralized shoulder to the porphyry intrusion.

Figure 1. Conductivity profile of the Brezani target with >95th percentile magnetic anomaly. BREDD002 tested the resistive volume above an abrupt change into coincident high magnetic and elevated electrical conductivity response below 300 m depth which culminates at >60 mS/m at 450 m of depth. Dashed line represents distance from the end of BREDD002 to the top of conductor

Moving 700 m NE from the centre of the calc-silicates, pervasive argillic alteration of a granodioritic unit crops out over 600 m strike length representing the shallowest part of the porphyry system. Within this argillic alteration newly recognized massive specular hematite veining is present, indicative of oxidized hydrothermal fluids, adjacent to gold-bearing hydrothermal breccias. The alteration consists of a silicified groundmass and clay or vugs present after plagioclase feldspar destruction. Secondary, euhedral quartz and arsenopyrite-pyrite-galena-sphalerite can be seen infilling these vugs, offering yet another style of mineralization at the Brezani target.

Terra Balcanica Confirms Epithermal Gold and Porphyry Copper Targets at Ceovishte in Serbia and Closes First Tranche of Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 8th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce positive assay results from surface rock chip and soil sampling at its 80.4 km2 Ceovishte license in southern Serbia and closing of the 1st tranche of the previously announced non-brokered private placement financing of units (the ”Units”) for gross proceeds of $404,650 (the “Offering”).

Highlights

  • Surface rock sample include concentrations as high as 53.5 g/t Au, 78.6 g/t Ag and 2.47 % Cu with up to 0.39% Co and 0.45% Bi (Table 1);
  • >900 m strike length of Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cu-Te anomalism in soil geochemistry defines new target, with soil assays returning up to 2.42 g/t Au (Figure 2);
  • Mineralization is controlled by potassic altered diorites hosting quartz-chalcopyrite veins with secondary copper mineralogy at surface (Figure 3) and a gold-bismuth-cobalt rich epithermal assemblage;
  • Drill-ready with both porphyry and epithermal mineralization visible at collar locations.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

Detailed prospecting, rock chip and soil sampling at our Serbian Ceovishte licence not only confirmed the existence of a sizable hydrothermal system responsible for multi-ounce gold assays at surface near the Medjurečje locality but also defined a new, 900-m-wide, topographically depressed, semi-circular gold-silver-copper soil anomaly northeast of the high-grade Au zone that is characterized by potassic altered andesites interpreting by Terra’s technical team to represent a previously neglected porphyry target. This confirms the potential of our Serbian assets and represents a significant diversification of the Company’s polymetallic portfolio already defined by our Viogor Zanik project. It sets the stage for drilling of the shallow high grade gold target later this year.

The Ceovishte license totals over 80 km2 of highly prospective land for gold and copper exploration in the historic Raska mining district of southern Serbia (Figure1). The license area drapes southern slopes of the Golija Mountain, a part of the well-known Kopaonik metallogenic zone. This area features the Kiževak and Sastavci Pb-Zn-Ag mines including the Karadak deposit, all owned by Adriatic Metals plc. The historical Yugoslav GKZ, non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for Kiževak is 3.9 Mt of ore grading 3.92 % Zn, 2.15 % Pb and 31 g/t Ag categorized according to the Yugoslav A+B+C1 resource nomenclature (www.adriaticmetals-serbia.com/our-projects/adriatic-metals-serbia-sastavci). The Raska mining district also holds the Rudnica Cu-Au porphyry target and is a northerly extension of the partially exploited, world class Trepča Pb-Zn-Ag skarn deposit of the norther Serbian province of Kosovo. Trepča features a non-NI 43-101 compliant resource of 60.5 Mt of ore grading over 8.0 % Pb+Zn and >159 Moz of Ag.

Figure 1. Geological map of the Ceovishte license area in southern Serbia. The black rectangle labelled Figure 2 is Terra’s primary area of interest within the license. It encapsulates Au-Cu mineralized Neogene volcanic rocks which intruded an ultramafic country rock of the West Vardar Ophiolite. Previous operators conducted work in the south of the Ceovishte license and overlooked the Au-Cu potential of the north where Terra has conducted a successful soil and rock chip sampling campaign and is planning a maiden drilling program in early Q3 of 2023

Figure 2. Map displaying Au in soil (ppb), and anomalous Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cu-Te signature. Sampling verifies the location of known mineralization and reveals > 900 m strike length of new prospective ground open to the NE. Rock sample IDs can be correlated with results in Table 1. The drill target is labelled where rock chips return up to 53.5 g/t Au and 1.45 % Cu. Note the location of anomalous Au in soil forming an arcuate pattern around the depressed centre, interpreted as possible concentric fractures around a porphyry intrusive which crops out in the south and northwest. (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N)

Geology and Mineralization

The Company is focussed on exploring the overlooked Au-Ag-Cu (Bi-Co) occurrences in the northern extents of the license where Neogene intrusive rocks of intermediate composition are emplaced within ultramafic rocks of the west Vardar Ophiolite Belt. Field observations and microscopy confirms biotite-magnetite-k-feldspar potassic alteration within the diorites, which are observed controlling the distribution of mineralization and are thus inferred as the causative intrusion and target for further exploration. Intrusive contacts and vein-hosted sulphides in the south dip shallowly to the NNE below ultramafic cover into an annular topography low.

Both hypogene sulphide mineralization and supergene oxide zones are present at Ceovishte and returned very encouraging assay results of a well-endowed Au-Ag-Cu system. Quartz-chalcopyrite veins are partially oxidised at surface producing a mixture of malachite, azurite and tenorite (Figure 3) and occur within the same outcrops as quartz-arsenopyrite-bismuthinite veins. Chalcopyrite is also observed finely disseminated within the potassic altered intrusives. Gossans and vuggy silica host the highest Au values up to 53.5 g/t.

Figure 3. Macroscopically observed copper mineralization in samples 103281 and 103276 which returned 1.45 % and 2.47 % Cu, respectively. Mineralization is vein-hosted within potassic altered diorites and comprises quartz, chalcopyrite, malachite, azurite and tenorite

Mineralized rock samples also return high bismuth and cobalt, which may have been stripped from the ultramafic country rocks by hydrothermal fluids and re-precipitated within the epithermal veins. Ceovishte therefore has characteristics of the 5-element vein (Ag-Bi-Co-Ni-As) style of mineralization.

Table 1. Rock chip locations and assay results for key commodity elements. Samples can be seen with anomalous Au in soil Figure 1. (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N).

Soil Geochemistry

Results from 386 B/C horizon soil samples successfully captured the signature of Au-Cu mineralization at Ceovishte. Two known occurrences were highlighted by the sampling, verifying the Au-Ag-As-Bi-Cu-Te grouping as representing mineralization, with a further 900 m strike length anomaly being generated for follow up in the north of the survey. The newly defined target area returned assays up to 2.42 g/t Au and 424 ppm Cu in soil. This area has not seen rock chip sampling and offers significant exploration upside for extending the footprint of known Au-Cu mineralization.

Elevated commodity and pathfinder elements in soil correlate to a K-Ba-Na element grouping, indicating sub cropping intermediate composition intrusives rather than the ultramafic country rock which has a strong Ni-Co-Cr-Mg signature. Soil anomalism generates an annular pattern which surrounds a central topographic depression with enclosing ridges of ultramafic rock. This correlation could indicate concentric and ring radial fractures, which have formed around a central porphyry intrusive and focussed hydrothermal fluid flow. Potassic altered, Au-Cu mineralized diorite intrusives have been observed and sampled at both the southern and northern extents of this annular feature, with over 900 m of untested strike length in the northeast.

Future Exploration Program

The northern Ceovishte licence is drill-ready with pad locations designed to test the depth extensions of the Au-Cu mineralization sampled on surface. Following positive results in maiden drilling geophysics will be considered to guide a larger phase II drilling program.

Follow up of the anomalous soil geochemistry will be undertaken in the northeast through geological/alteration mapping and rock chip assay. This will generate a pipeline of targets for drill testing. Further soil sampling will be completed in the northeast where the anomaly remains open to define its full spatial extent.

1st Tranche Private Placement Financing Closed

The Company issued an aggregate of 4,760,586 Units at a price of $0.085 per Unit for gross proceeds of $404,650 pursuant to the Offering announced on April 4th, 2023. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.13 until May 5th, 2026.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and to fund the Phase II drilling across its portfolio of properties. Finders’ fees in the amount of $8,057 were paid.

Giulio Bonifacio, Chair of the board of directors, Steven Latimer, a director, and Kim Oishi, a director (the “Insiders”) purchased 1,194,117 Units as part of the Offering. The issuance of the Units to the Insiders constitutes a “related party transaction” as this term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemption from valuation requirement and minority approval pursuant to subsection 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the securities do not represent more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The participation by Insiders in the Offering was approved by directors of the Company who are independent in connection with such transactions.

Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued and issuable in connection with the closing of the Private Placement will be subject to a four (4) month hold period ending September 6th, 2023.

QAQC

Representative rock samples were taken from surface outcrops and sent to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and subsequent wet chemical analysis at the Loughrea laboratory in Ireland, and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified test facility. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method involved crushing the core to a 70% fraction less than 2 mm in size, rotary split 1.0 kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals were analysed by ICP MS after a four-acid digest (ME-MS61). Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP AES finish (Au-ICP21). Over limit samples for base metals were re-analysed by the four-acid digest ICP-AES analyses termed ME-OG62. Over-limit gold analysis was conducted by fire assay and gravimetric finish (Au-GRA21). Soil samples were taken in the B/C horizon and sent to ALS Bor, Serbia. Analysis was undertaken after dry screening to 180 microns by method AuME-TL44 an aqua regia digest followed by ICP analysis on a 50g sample. Over-assays were conducted by the OG-46 (base metals) and Au-AROR44 (gold) techniques.

Terra Balcanica Reports Massive Sulphide Mineralization in Initial Phase II Drillholes at Cumavici Ridge

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 18th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce, positive step-out drill hole observations at the high-grade, Cumavici Ridge polymetallic epithermal vein target within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Polymetallic epithermal mineralization has been intercepted in the first 4 step-out drillholes of the 2023 Phase II program at Cumavici Ridge (Figure 1);
  • A successful 42-m southeast step out with drill hole CMV23003 confirms the epithermal mineralization over 81 m strike length from previously reported CMVDD005 (Figure 2);
  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected the thickest zone of massive colloform sphalerite observed at Cumavici Ridge to date (Figure 3);
  • Shallowest mineralization to date is reported with sulphides commencing at 7.1 m and 10.0 m in drill holes CMV23002b and CMV23001, respectively;
  • Macroscopic observations of mineral assemblages intercepted so far suggest that assays from the 2023 Phase II, Stage 1 drill program at Cumavici Ridge are expected to build on the high grades from maiden drilling.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

We are off to an exceptional start with the Phase II drill program at Cumavici Ridge where all the initial four drill holes returned signs of massive sulphide mineralization, in some cases as shallow as 7 meters below surface. We will continue to maximize drilling meterage by drilling scissor holes to help define the local geometry of the mineralized structure. With another 40 m step out, this time to the southeast and additional two step-outs planned in the same direction, we are potentially looking at over 180 meters of silver-dominated mineralization along strike at this target area alone, while the real goal is to extend the mineralized footprint to the northwest where Terra believes the system will show its full potential over an estimated 650 meters strike length. We are drilling through the same type of mineralization as is currently mined in the Sase mine which we surround. This facility is at half of its mine life with all the infrastructure in place. We will release laboratory assays shortly.

The Company commenced its Phase II drilling program at Cumavici Ridge, the 2022 high-grade polymetallic discovery which returned up to 505 g/t Ag Eq. over 11 m, by extending the mineralized footprint by 39 m to the SE in drillhole CMV23001 (See Company news release dated 27th of February 2023). A second drillhole CMV23002b used the same pad location with a shallower drilling inclination, and repeated the successful intercept commencing from 19 m. A 34 m step out to the SW defines CMV23003 where the Cumavici Vein system was successfully intersected 43.9 m downhole. Drill hole CMV23004, drilled from the same pad at a shallower angle confirmed continuity of the vein system at a depth of 35.35 m.

Figure 1. Geological map illustrating the 2023 planned drilling locations at Cumavici Ridge and the completed drillholes CMV23001/002b and 003/004 which have increased strike length of the mineralization to 81 m relative to 2022 Phase I drilling campaign

Figure 2. Massive sulphide interval between 43.90-46.00 m downhole in CMV23003. 44.60-45.50 m hosts massive colloform banded orange-brown sphalerite and galena with intervals of hydrothermal brecciation, which grades downhole from an andesitic volcanic breccia which has been completely matrix replaced by a polymetallic sulphide assemblage

Coarse grained sulphides are present between the colloform bands

Drill Core Observations

Drillhole CMV23001 reports the shallowest massive sulphide intercept to date with > 10 m of visible sulphides commencing at a depth of 10 m extending the mineralization footprint at Cumavici Ridge a further 39 m SE. Hanging wall disseminated sulphides grade into 2.75 m of intense quartz-sulphide veining within a silicified and strongly chlorite altered andesitic lapilli tuff including 0.7 m of semi-massive sphalerite-stibnite-galena-marcasite from 13.10 m depth and a 0.4 m zone of orange colloform banded sphalerite. Aggregates of sulphide extend to a depth of 21 m into the footwall, hosted by strongly argillic altered tuffaceous breccia and intervals of fault gouge. A second zone of mineralization in the footwall between 30.0-32.4 m depth hosts quartz-sulphide veining with a 0.3 m interval of sphalerite dominant semi-massive sulphide.

Drillhole CMV23002b was drilled from the same pad location, but with an inclination of – 50° intercepted two distinct intervals of polymetallic mineralization. Disseminated pyrite-sphalerite-stibnite between 7.10–11.30 m marks a near-surface splay of the main vein, which includes a 5 cm interval of colloform banded quartz-sphalerite. The main Cumavici vein structure commenced at 19.0 m downhole with quartz-sulphide veinlets grading into semi massive sphalerite-galena-stibnite between 22.90-25.80 m downhole, coarse-grained galena is observed between bands of orange colloform sphalerite. Aggregates of sulphide extend into the footwall up to 34 m.

Drillhole CMV23003 is located 34 m SW of drillholes CMV23001/002b was designed as a down dip step out and successfully intersected the Cumavici Ridge mineralization. From 39 m downhole aggregates and veinlets of stibnite-sphalerite are observed within a tuffaceous breccia. Between 43.80 – 44.50 m the matrix of a tuffaceous breccia has been completely replaced by quartz-stibnite-black sphalerite-galena which grades into 0.90 m of massive banded colloform and coarse-grained orange sphalerite and galena. Veining extends into the footwall to 47.90 m (Figures 1 and 2).

Drillhole CMV23004 was drilled from the same pad location as CMV23003, but with an inclination of – 50° reached the Cumavici vein system at 35.35 m with the introduction of pyrite stringers within the hanging wall andesitic tuff. 36.20-36.80 m is comprised of colloform banded sphalerite and galena adjacent to massive black sphalerite-stibnite-sulphosalts. Extending into the footwall are sulphide veinlets and quartz-sulphide veins extending the mineralized interval to 38.30 m grading into sulphide aggregates up to 40.0 m depth.

Terra Balcanica Commences Phase II Drilling at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia and Announces Private Placement Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 4th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce the start of the Phase II drill campaign at its primary Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina by separately targeting high-grade, epithermal, vein hosted, silver dominated mineralization as well as a wide diameter, gold skarn/porphyry system, respectively (see Figure 1).

Phase II Drilling Program

At the Cumavici target, Terra will test the along strike and down dip continuity of the high grade polymetallic, intermediate sulfidation epithermal vein at Cumavici Ridge. Discovery of the Cumavici Ridge mineralization in 2022 confirmed Terra’s exploration model. Vein-hosted polymetallic sulphides occupy a 7.2 km long, NW-SE oriented, magnetic low lineament, identified in Terra’s 2021 airborne SkyTEM survey. The 2023 drilling efforts will follow this structure continually over 650 m strike length. The far NW reaches of the structure are de-risked by note of massive sulfide mineralization in the Yugoslav era drillholes (see Figure 2).

Figure 1. Terra’s 216 km2 Viogor-Zanik project with the epithermal vein hosted Cumavici corridor and the Brezani gold skarn/porphyry system as the primary Phase II drill targets.

In addition to the Cumavici high-grade, silver dominated epithermal system, Terra intends to continue testing the 1.2 km wide gold skarn/conductivity target interpreted to represent a porphyry system at 450 m depth at the locality of Brezani.

Figure 2. Projected Phase II drill fences at the Cumavici Ridge target along 650 m of the epithermal vein strike length

The 2022 Phase I drilling terminated within the gold mineralization mostly represented by electrically resistive hornfels and skarn lithologies.

Phase I drilling at Brezani discovered a significant gold system, with mineralization present within both calc-silicate and intrusive lithologies from surface. Drillhole BREDD002 tested a resistive body of rock, which overlies a > 600 m wide conductor, reaching > 60 mS/m at depth, coincident with magnetic anomalism. This conductor indicates a stark difference in rock properties and Terra interprets this as an increase in sulphide content/connectivity representing a proximal Au-Cu skarn or sulphide rich porphyry system. Terra intends to test this coincident magnetic-electromagnetic anomaly at depth and step-out within the >1 km2 geochemical anomaly (see Figure 3).

Figure 3. Projected Phase II drill pad locations at the 1.2 km wide Au skarn/porphyry Brezani target

For Terra’s previously released drilling highlights at the Viogor-Zanik project see the Company news releases from September 8th and October 22nd of 2022, and January 24th, February 2nd, and February 27th of 2023, or refer to our webpage https://terrabresources.com/en/news/

Private Placement Financing

The Company also announces the intent to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) for gross proceeds of up to C$1,000,000 through the issuance of 11,764,706 units (each a “Unit”) at a purchase price of C$0.085 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company ( “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase an additional one common share of the Company (“Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$0.13 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Private Placement (the “Closing Date”).

The Common Shares will be offered by way of prospectus exemptions in Canada and the Common Shares sold in the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day. The Closing Date is expected to occur on or before May 16th, 2023, subject to regulatory approvals, including the approval of the CSE and certain other customary conditions including, but not limited to, execution of subscription agreements between the Company and the subscribers. In certain circumstances, the Company may pay finder’s fee in cash on a portion of the Private Placement. The Private Placement will provide Terra with the necessary capital to continue drilling the Company’s portfolio of mineral exploration properties in the western Balkans.

Terra Balcanica Intersects 505 g/t AgEq Over 11.0 m Including 3,075 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) Over 1.7 m at Viogor-Zanik in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – February 27th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce further, high-grade drill results including step-out drillholes at Cumavici Ridge and a new discovery at the Josheva target extending mineralization at the Cumavici Corridor over 2.3 km to the southeast within its flagship, 216 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Highest Grades Intercepted To Date: Drillhole CMVDD004 returned 505.3 g/t AgEq over 11.0 m from 43.0 m depth including 3075.4 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) over 1.7 m (see Figure 1) 40 m northeast of CMVDD005 and over 50 m northwest from the drill fence that included CMVDD001, CMVDD002, and CMVDD003;
  • New Discovery at Josheva over 2.3 km southeast of Cumavici Ridge: Drillhole JOSDD001 drilled over 2.3 km southeast of Cumavici Ridge discovered a new mineralized structure yielding 119.7 g/t AgEq over 6.0 m from 53.0 m depth (see Figure 2). The discovery drillhole at Josheva validates the district geologic model and confirms the potential for several other segments of polymetallic veins within the expansive 7.2 km strike Cumavici corridor. The entire corridor remains open for further drill testing.
  • Five shallow, high grade intercepts: Cumavici Ridge has displayed consistency by the initial drilling with five holes intercepting shallow, high-grade polymetallic mineralization (see Figure 3), including:
    • CMVDD001: 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m including 1634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD002: 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD003: 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 m including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD005: 284.0 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq over 2.0m.
  • Extending High Grade Footprint With Step-Out Drilling: assay results from CMVDD001 to CMVDD005 confirm consistent high-grade mineralization over a footprint approximately 60 by 100 meters at Cumavici Ridge. (see Figure 4). Further drilling will focus on expanding strike length to the northwest along 650 m of strike length and confirm down-dip continuity to southwest. The system remains open in all directions.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

We are very pleased with the world class intercepts that the Cumavici Ridge system keeps on delivering. The stage is now set for the Phase II drill program of this shallow polymetallic vein that will aim to add onto these exceptional grades. Most exciting is that the highest metal concentrations have come from the northwesterly segment of the system which is the direction where we intend to extend our drill fence in 2023. Also encouraging are the positive Josheva target intercepts located 2.3 km southwest of Cumavici Ridge as a testament to the widespread mineralization along the epithermal corridor. We have numerous, high-grade targets to further test with infill and step out drilling.

Figure 4. Fence diagram of drilling completed at the Cumavici Ridge target including drillholes CMVDD001 to CMVDD005. Polymetallic mineralization intervals are highlighted in red. The mineralization remains untested and open down dip to the southwest and entirely open to the NW. The high-grade mineralization footprint currently sits at approximately 60 (strike length) by 100 meters (down dip direction).

Drill Results Summary

Drillhole CMVDD004 targeted the strike extension of this shallow mineralization with a 39 m NW collar step-out from CMVDD002. Assay results confirm the structure remains mineralized at shallow levels in the north-western direction. Mineralization consists of a main massive sulphide interval with quartz-sulphide veining in the hanging and footwall of the structure. Massive sulphide intervals are characterized by colloform-crustiform sphalerite-galena-stibnite-sulphosalts. A narrow envelope of silicification is observed around the vein intercept with volcaniclastics showing variable chloritization and argillic alteration.

Drillhole JOSDD001 targeted a mineralized structure 2.3 km southeast of the Cumavici Ridge discovery drillholes. It successfully intersected a mineralized structure returning 119.7 g/t AgEq over 6.0 m from 53.0 m depth. Mineralization encountered is characterized by veinlets, disseminations, and aggregates of sphalerite-galena-pyrite within argillic altered andesitic tuffs. Sulphides are associated with calcite and present in intervals of fault gouge.

Drillhole JOSDD002, located 155 m NW of JOSDD001, tested the same structure with a significant step out. Several mineralized structures were intersected, with disseminated sulphides in fault gouge and calcite. At 31 m depth a quartz-arsenopyrite cemented hydrothermal breccia returned 1 m at 1.1 g/t Au and 0.3 % Zn within a 2 m mineralized intercept yielding 0.66 g/t Au.

Further exploration drilling: Further drilling will systematically test the high-grade Cumavici vein along strike to the NW/SE and down-dip SW where the mineralization is open and untested. The Cumavici Ridge target lies within a local magnetic low, which is continuous for > 500 m strike length. The Company interprets the well-developed magnetic low lineament to represent the structure hosting the Cumavici Ridge polymetallic mineralization, offering a robust target for expansion of mineralization. Due to the shallow nature of this high-grade system, drilling can quickly define strike length utilizing a 40 m regular step out. Mineralization is interpreted to be dipping shallowly to the SW, which allows for down-dip testing with modest meterage requirements. This will be a priority of the 2023 drilling campaign.

Target generation is ongoing by utilizing the geological knowledge gained in the 2022 drilling campaign to unlock the potential of the 7.2 km strike length Cumavici corridor. Understanding of the geochemical and geophysical signature of this high-grade system, and confirmation of the exploration strategy through definition of yet another mineralized structure at Josheva gives the Company confidence in the underexplored nature of the Cumavici corridor. Surface expressions of mineralized structures have been observed at several localities, namely Cumurnica and Seoce where soil geochemistry shows NW/SE trending anomalous Ag-Pb-Zn. Zones of fault gouge with disseminated sphalerite and galena are observed on surface which can be tied to low magnetic lineaments, offering targets for future drilling. The Cumavici corridor remains largely untested, and the Company firmly believes there is opportunity for discovery of the Cumavici Ridge style mineralization along the entire 7.2 km strike length.

QA/QC

Composite, half a drill core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered by truck to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 5% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Intersects 284 g/t AgEq Over 10 m Including 895 g/t AgEq Over 2 m at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – February 2nd 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce additional, positive step-out drill results at the high-grade polymetallic Cumavici Ridge epithermal target within its flagship, 216 km2 Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • High grade +50 m step out: Drillhole CMVDD005 returned 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m (see Figure 3) approximately 50 m west-northwest of CMVDD002;
  • Previously released intercepts at the Cumavici target returned similar high grades:
    • CMVDD001: 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m including 1634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD002: 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD003: 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 m including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m (see Company news releases from September 8th and October 22nd, 2022);
  • CMVDD004, located 40 m northeast of CMVDD005, intersected 11 m of visible sulphide mineralization with assays to be released shortly (see Figures 2 and 3);
  • Exploration upside: CMVDD005 confirms consistent high grade, polymetallic mineralization at Cumavici Ridge. The mineralization is entirely open to the NW and down-dip to the SW. High-grade results confirm the Cumavici corridor as a shallow, polymetallic epithermal discovery with significant potential for expansion.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented:

Another Terra Balcanica drill step out at Cumavici Ridge and another significant, high grade intercept. The epithermal vein system discovered along the Cumavici corridor is now starting to take concrete shape and size in Terra’s geological model with a potential for considerable expansions along both the NW-SE strike and downdip towards SW. The vein hosted mineralization we see in Cumavici Ridge drill core very much corresponds to high grade, massive sulphides that are observed in the neighbouring Sase Mine, operated by Mineco Ltd., which the Viogor-Zanik project surrounds. This suggests that the Cumavici discovery is its westerly epithermal projection along a 7.2 km long, structurally controlled lineament. What particularly excites us is the shallow nature of the system where semi-massive, high grade sulphides are rarely found below 80 m depth and frequently as shallow as 35 m depth. This will facilitate a rapid advancement of our Phase II drill program planned for this year aiming to further define the grade, size and geometry of this tabular, silver dominated system along several target areas identified at and near Cumavici Ridge. We are equally excited to quickly advance the other two Viogor-Zanik project target zones, namely: the new Brezani skarn discovery and the Olovine porphyry prospect, each of which is characterized by extensive alteration, geophysical and surface mineralization footprints. The Company will report further, 2022 Phase I Cumavici Ridge drill core assays over the coming weeks.

Table 1. Assay results of key mineralized intervals from Cumavici Ridge drillholes. Interval lengths reported are drilled lengths, not true widths. Silver equivalents (“AgEq”) are based on assumed metal prices of US$1950/oz for gold (Au), US$18.00/oz for silver (Ag), US$1.00/lb for lead (Pb), US$4.50/lb for antimony (Sb) and US$1.50/lb for zinc (Zn). *Assumed metal recoveries of 90% Au, 93% Ag, 94% Pb and Zn, 90% Sb are based on published metallurgical tests for analogous Oligo-Miocene, epithermal deposits in the Balkans (CMVDD001-003; see the Company news releases from September 8th and October 22nd, 2022). Values are rounded to nearest hundredth except Ag which is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Figure 2. Geological map of Phase I drillholes at Cumavici Ridge. Drillholes CMVDD004 and CMVDD005 are NW step-outs from the initial drill fence which intersected Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization

Drillhole CMVDD005 targeted the down-dip extension of the lateral step out confirmed by CMVDD004 with a 40 m collar location step out to the west-southwest. CMVDD005 intercepted 2 mineralized intervals, evidencing the branching nature of the main Cumavici vein including 285 g/t AgEq over 10 m from 81 m. Mineralization consists of massive sulphide veins and breccias cemented by quartz, calcite, sphalerite, galena, and stibnite.

Drillhole CMVDD006 successfully intercepted a continuation of the mineralized Cumavici structure 125 m to the SE from CMVDD005. Mineralization was disseminated, in broad zones of fault gouge and breccia indicating a pinching and swelling nature to the massive sulphide zones. An association of sulphides and brecciated calcite within the clay gouge is noted, possibly due to precipitation of the mineralization during active fault movement.

Further drilling: Assay results from CMVDD004, which intersected 11 m of visible sulphide mineralization from 43 m depth will be released shortly. Other assays to be released include drill testing of the Joseva target, which is 2.3 km to the SE of Cumavici Ridge. The 2023 drill program will systematically test the high-grade Cumavici vein along strike to the NW/SE and down-dip SW where the mineralization is open and untested.

QA/QC

Half core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered by truck to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and analysis at the ALS laboratory Loughrea, Ireland an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified testing laboratory. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method was used on all core samples. This involves crushing to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish (Au-ICP21). Analyses of silver and base metals were completed by highly oxidising digestion with HNO3, KClO3 and HBr (ASY-ORE) and the final solution in dilute aqua regia is determined by ICP-AES (ME-ICPORE). Analysis in CMVDD006 was undertaken by ICP MS after a four-acid digest (ME-MS61). Control samples, comprising certified reference materials (CDN-ME-1811), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 5% and investigated as part of the company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Intersects 0.61 g/t Gold Equivalent Over 88.0 m From Surface at Brezani Discovery, Viogor-Zanik in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 24th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA, FRA:UB1) is pleased to announce the discovery of a gold bearing system at Brezani within its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Another Viogor-Zanik discovery: the Brezani target maiden drillholes intercepted 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m (BREDD002) and 0.58 g/t AuEq over 28.6 m (BREDD001); both drillholes encountered gold mineralization from surface confirming the extension of the 32 m at 0.54 g/t AuEq interval detected by trenching 65 m southeast of the drillhole collars (see Company news release from August 17th, 2022);
  • Expanding district-scale polymetallic footprint: Viogor-Zanik now features 3 styles of mineralization with 7 metals; the Brezani gold bearing system sits 12 km southeast of the high-grade, polymetallic Cumavici discovery (see Figure 1) which intercepted:
    • 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m including 1634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 m including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m (see Company news releases from September 8th and October 22nd, 2022);
  • Open at depth with favorable lithologies: BREDD002 terminated in elevated gold mineralization at 215 m depth; the Company interprets the elevated gold at the end of the drillhole to be associated with another mineralized zone and silica-chlorite-sericite altered intrusive lithologies downhole highlight the potential for porphyry style mineralization which will require further drill testing (see Figure 3);
  • Exploration upside: gold-bearing target at Brezani coincides with a resistive volume of rock above a large conductivity anomaly (> 600 m wide, > 60 mS/m) interpreted to represent porphyry style mineralization (see Figure 3), which remains untested.

Terra Balcanica President and CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Miskovic, commented:

We are extremely excited about the Brezani gold discovery located over 12 km southeast of the high-grade, polymetallic discovery made by Terra Balcanica at the Cumavici target last year. The Viogor-Zanik project is clearly underexplored as we have identified a number of quality exploration targets through our detailed targeting in 2021 and we have now confirmed three different styles of magmatic-hydrothermal mineralization. The intercepted metasomatized hornfels suggests that we are in the upper part of a large retrograde skarn-porphyry system at Brezani with the gold mineralization encountered from surface and a significant potential for either a deeper porphyry or a sulphide rich Cu-Au proximal skarn mineralization. The spatial coincidence of precious metals with a plus 1.2 km wide magnetic anomaly and the presence of a strong electric conductor at 400 m depth detected via airborne geophysics gives us confidence that we have a large potential mineralized system on our hands. We look forward to more assays from the 2022 program which will be released over the coming weeks.

Table 1. Assay results of key mineralized intervals for diamond drillholes BREDD001 and BREDD002. Interval lengths reported are drilled lengths and not true widths. AuEq calculation assumes metal prices of US$1,900/oz for gold (Au), US$24.00/oz for silver (Ag), US$4.00/lb for copper (Cu) and US$1.65/lb for zinc (Zn). Metallurgical recoveries of 95% have been adopted based on metallurgical testwork by Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM) on their Coka Rakita Au skarn in Serbia (see Note 1 below). BREDD001 was terminated early at 28.6 meters due to increased levels of core loss.

Figure 1. Terra Balcanica’s 216 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina with the key drill target areas and their associated styles of mineralization: (i) the epithermal Cumavici corridor, (ii) the Olovine porphyry target and (iii) the southwesterly Brezani skarn/porphyry system is located approximately 12 km SE of the Cumavici Ridge discovery drillholes.

Brezani is located 8.4 km south of the Mineco Ltd.Sase Mine which produces approximately 330 kt of lead-zinc-silver-gold concentrate per year (Figure 1). Brezani hosts components of a large magmatic-hydrothermal system discovered by geophysical and geochemical surveys (Figure 2).

Drillhole BREDD001 was terminated at 28.6 m depth due increased levels of core loss. The core returned 28.6 m at 0.58 g/t AuEq from surface. The lithologies intercepted were strongly oxidized diorites and hydrothermal breccias, ending in a calc-silicate hornfels. Au contents of up to 1.9 m at 2.46 g/t Au are observed in hydrothermal breccias of dioritic intrusive rocks, apopheses of an underlying pre/inter-mineral intrusion.

Figure 2. Geological map highlighting the 1.2km wide, 95th percentile magnetic anomaly at the Brezani target. The strongest magnetic response remains untested at depth, however correlates to Au in surface trenches, quartz vein bearing sericitized diorites and calc-silicate altered hornfels with elevated concentrations of proximal pathfinder elements (Bi-Te) from soil geochemistry. Distal zonation sees strong argillic alteration and a Zn-Mn geochemical halo.

Drillhole BREDD002 was designed as a subsequent hole to BREDD001 to test the resistive hanging wall existing below the exposed calc-silicate hornfels. The drillhole collar was centered on an 850 m wide Au in soil anomaly and located 65 m NW from the previously completed exploratory trenches that yielded 32 m at 0.54 g/t AuEq (See Company’s news release dated August 17th, 2022). The mineralized interval reporting 88.0 m at 0.61 g/t AuEq from surface includes 7 m of dilution from a late, post-mineralization diorite dyke.

Figure 3. Conductivity profile of the Brezani target with >95th percentile magnetic anomaly. BREDD002 tests the resistive volume above an abrupt change into coincident high magnetic and elevated electrical conductivity response below 300 m depth which culminates at >60 mS/m at 450 m of depth. Dashed line represents distance from the end of BREDD002 to the top of conductor.

The sulphides encountered at Brezani are characterised by both disseminated and intervals of semi-massive sphalerite-chalcopyrite (Figure 4). Pyrrhotite is the dominant iron sulphide, with pyrite uncommon. The gold is controlled by lithology and associated with skarns, calc-silicate hornfels and specific intrusive phases. Quartz veins host pyrrhotite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite. A less reactive hornfels is present between 87.2 and 199 m depth but silicified diorite reappears between 214 and 215 m depth where the drillhole ended in Au mineralization returning 0.26 g/t Au.

Intermediate sulphidation veins were observed at 156 m and 168 m downhole returning 1.0 m at 0.39 g/t Au and 1.0 m at 0.34 g/t Au, 12.1 g/t Ag, respectively. The presence of these veins confirms another mineralization style within the broad porphyry (Cu) model. Mineralogy is varied with pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite and bismuthinite present within fault hosted, quartz-carbonate veins (Figure 5).

Table 2. Collar location and core recoveries for diamond drillhole BREDD001 and BREDD002 (UTM; WGS84). BREDD001 drillhole experienced a cumulative core loss of 2.0 m between 14.9-15.4 m, 16.3-16.9 m, 19.6-20.1 m, and 25.8-26.2 m, while BREDD002 experienced core loss of 0.8 m between 24.0-24.8m.

The Brezani target bears lithological similarities with the Rogozna Project operated by Zlatna Reka Resources located 150 km SW within the Oligo-Miocene Tethyan belt in neighbouring Serbia. The Rogozna Au-Cu skarn deposit has a 2021 JORC compliant inferred mineral resource of 64 Mt grading 0.7 g/t Au and 0.2% Cu (2.15 Moz Au total), calculated using multiple indicator kriging on 154 drillholes, totalling 90,278 drill metres (https://ibaera.com/rogozna-2-15moz-au-eq-maiden-resource-estimate/).

Further Drilling: The coincident strong magnetic and conductivity anomalies (> 60 mS/m) below the resistive surface shell at Brezani remains untested and presents a promising target for increased, interconnected sulphide content characteristic of mineralized porphyry shells (Figure 3), which will be the Company’s priority during the 2023 drilling campaign. Follow up will be undertaken from other locations within the Au-in-soil anomaly to assess lithological variability and grade of the Au skarn along strike. Additional drilling will test Au anomalous rock chips within argillically altered volcanics and hydrothermal breccias thus offering a chance for testing multiple styles of mineralization within a broad porphyry model.

QA/QC

Half core (PQ3 and HQ3) samples were delivered to ALS Bor, Serbia for sample preparation and subsequent wet chemical analysis at the Loughrea laboratory in Ireland, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified test facility. Sample preparation PREP-31BY method involved crushing the core to 70% less than 2 mm, rotary split 1.0 kg and pulverizing the split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals were analysed by ICP MS after a four-acid digest (ME-MS61). Gold was assayed by 30g fire assay with ICP AES finish (Au-ICP21). Over limit samples for base metals were re-analysed by the four-acid digest ICP-AES analyses termed ME-OG62. Control samples comprising the certified reference material CDN-ME-1501 (Canadian Resource Labs Ltd.), quarter core field duplicates and blanks were inserted at a rate of 5% and investigated as part of the Company’s quality assurance and quality control program.

Terra Balcanica Extends Footprint of Shallow Polymetallic Cumavici Vein at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 11th 2023 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA, FSE:UB1) is pleased to confirm that step-out drilling has extended the massive, polymetallic sulphide vein system at the Cumavici Ridge target located within its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights

  • Two shallow intervals from drillholes CMVDD004 and CMVDD005 reveal visible massive sulphides of 10 m and 11 m in thickness respectively (Figure 2); the system remains open down dip and along strike (Figures 2 and 3);
  • System strike length has been extended by approximately 50 meters west-northwest from the initial drillholes released from the Cumavici target where previously reported drillhole intervals include:
    • CMVDD001: 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m including 1634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD002: 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
    • CMVDD003: 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 m including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2 m.
  • Assay results from CMVDD004, CMVDD005 and CMVDD006 will be released shortly.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković comments:

The 2022 maiden drill program at Cumavici Ridge has been encouraging in confirming the hypothesis of identifying a shallow, high-grade polymetallic, epithermal vein-hosted mineralized system, while also confirming its down-dip and along-strike continuity. It is very exciting to see the Cumavici Ridge target entirely open along strike allowing for continued step out and infill drilling. Our team has gained a strong understanding of the local geology and there are a series of targets that will be tested to expand the mineralized system. We see the same macroscopic features in these holes as we did in the previously released drillholes and eagerly await the assay results which are expected shortly.

The Company commenced its maiden drill program by discovering a high-grade, polymetallic vein system intercepting 824.2 g/t AgEq over 4.0 m at the Cumavici Ridge target (see news release dated September 8, 2022). Subsequently, the footprint of this intermediate sulfidation epithermal system was extended 83 m down-dip including drill intervals of 465.5 g/t AgEq over 8.7 m, including 1196 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m (see Company news release dated October 22, 2022). The subsequent step-out holes of CMVDD004 and CMVDD005 have intercepted thicker intervals of up to 11 m of massive sulphides approximately 50 meters west-northwest from the initial cluster of drillholes including CMVDD001, CMVDD002 and CMVDD003.

Drill Core Observations

CMVDD004 – Drillhole CMVDD004 intercepted approximately 11 m of altered andesitic tuff and visible sulphide-rich veining starting from 43 m depth. Over 1.7 m of semi-massive sulphides are observed from 44.8 m dominated by stibnite with sphalerite and galena. In the footwall, stockwork veinlets grade into disseminated sulphides in a pervasively argillic-altered volcanic.

CMVDD005 – Drillhole CMVDD005 intercepted two distinct zones of continuous sulphide veining within andesitic crystalline tuffs. At 34.4 m depth a 0.3 m massive sulphide vein is observed dominated by stibnite with lesser sphalerite and galena within a 3 m-wide zone of Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization. A second zone of massive sulphide veining approximately 10 m wide is encountered from 81.0 m depth comprised of sulphide cemented breccias, quartz-sulphide veins and intervals of massive sulphide, which grades downhole into sporadic aggregates of stibnite and sphalerite.

Ongoing Exploration Program

Drillhole CMVDD004 represents an approximately 30 m northwest lateral step out from CMVDD001. The down-dip extension of this is confirmed with CMVDD005 with a collar separation of approximately 50 m between end holes on the two drill fences. Future drilling efforts will test the continuity of the 7.2 km long Cumavici polymetallic vein system along strike towards the northwest and southeast. Additionally, the Company completed drilling at the Brezani skarn/porphyry target which is located over 12 km to the southeast from Cumavici (see Figure 1).

Terra Balcanica Intercepts 465.5 g/t Silver Equivalent Over 8.7 Meters Including 1196 g/t AgEq. Over 2 Meters and Extends Cumavici Vein by 80 Meters at Viogor-Zanik in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 22nd 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) is pleased to announce additional high-grade polymetallic results from the first phase of drilling at the Cumavici prospect at its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Further assays from the drill program are expected over the coming months.

Highlights:

  • High grade polymetallic mineralization at Cumavici continues with a significant step-out: CMVDD003 is an 83-meter step-out from CMVDD001 (Figure 1) and intercepted a thick vein interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 meters, including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters. The vein is open at depth;
  • Continuity of high-grade epithermal mineralization: the CMVDD002 hole is a critical hole drilled between CMVDD001 and CMVDD003 (Figure 1), where it intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters starting at 45.0 meters depth thus showing high-grade vein continuity at Cumavici Ridge;
  • Cumavici Ridge vein system remains open at depth: all three holes drilled at Cumavici Ridge spanning over 80 meters of down-dip length have returned positive, high-grade results with massive Pb-Zn-Sb sulphides and significant Au-Ag credits (Figure 2). The vein system also appears to continue along strike and further drilling will systematically evaluate the extent of this discovery (Figure 2);
  • District-scale exploration upside: the 7.2 km strike length of the system (Figure 3) at Cumavici remains open with several untested targets. The focus of the current drilling by Terra is to drill the extents of this prospective area focusing on key vein segments identified from previously completed surface mapping, geochemical and geophysical analysis, and structural work. The Viogor-Zanik project spans over 216 km2 and has two other key target areas featuring Cu-Mo porphyry (Olivine) and Au-Cu-Zn skarn (Brezani) styles of mineralization (Figure 4).

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

With the 80 meter drill step out we have confirmed a significant down-dip extension of the shallow Cumavici Ridge vein which is open at depth. All three holes drilled to date at this target have intercepted high-grade polymetallic mineralization and we are gaining a better understanding of the geological model with each hole completed. The Cumavici Ridge vein segment itself appears open along strike, thus providing opportunities for further step outs to define its geometry and grade. Furthermore, Cumavici Ridge is only one of the prospective localities within the larger 7.2 km Cumavici corridor, the extent of which we are excited to fully investigate. We are seeing the same geological characteristics across the large footprint akin to the vein-hosted style of mineralization present in the adjacent Mineco Group’s Sase Mine. Terra has been and will continue to drill these target areas as a part of our maiden drill program. A number of additional drill holes are currently at the lab and more assays will be released over the coming months.

Terra Balcanica Adds Prospective Gold Exploration License to Its Serbian Portfolio

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 14th 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) is pleased to announce the granting of the Ceovishte exploration licence by the Serbian Ministry of Energy and Mines. The new licence held by the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary Tera Balkanika doo covers 80.36 km2 of highly prospective land for gold and copper exploration in the historic Raska mining district of southern Serbia.

Highlights:

  • A pending application for the mineral exploration license “Ceovishte” totaling 80.36 km2 has been granted by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Government of Serbia, increasing the Company’s total land package in Serbia to 130.36 km2. The license is located 280 km south of Serbia’s capital city of Belgrade and 20 km north of the town of Raska, which is Terra’s local operating hub facilitating cost-effective exploration;
  • Terra is now the 2nd largest mineral exploration license holder in the highly prospective Raska district of southern Serbia after Adriatic Metals plc. (ASX:ADT, LSE:ADT1; Figure 1). The Raska district covers over 400 km2 and features many Pb and Zn deposits, Cu-Au porphyries, and satellite epithermal deposits hosted by Tertiary andesitic to dacitic volcanics and granodiorites, with a structurally controlled NNE-SSW fabric;
  • Compilation, digitization, and reinterpretation of the historical Yugoslavian geological maps and reports has identified a clear target zone for epithermal gold mineralization in the northwestern part of the licence. Historical, exploratory adit intercepts and rocks chip samples from Medjurečje (Figure 2), a high-grade epithermal vein gold-silver target located in the NW sector of Ceovishte, support the significant exploration potential of this licence area including:
    • 4.0 meters grading 19 g/t gold (Au) and 34 g/t silver (Ag);
    • 5.0 meters grading 15 g/t gold (Au);
    • 9.0 meters grading 0.95 g/t gold (Au) and 36 g/t silver (Ag);
    • 13.8 meters grading 1.1 g/t gold (Au);
    • two subsurface rock chip samples grading 396 g/t gold (Au) plus 468 g/t silver (Ag) and 15 g/t, Au 130 g/t Ag plus 1.2% Cu.

Commenting on the acquisition of the new licence area, Aleksandar Mišković, the President and CEO of Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. stated:

We are delighted to have been granted a sizable new licence area in Serbia. Acquisition of such prospective ground is core to our strategy of building a regional, multi-jurisdictional portfolio in the Western Balkans. By bringing Ceovishte into our portfolio we expanded our Serbian footprint by 160% to 130 km2 in addition to 216 km2 held in Bosnia-Herzegovina at our high-grade, polymetallic Viogor-Zanik project. We are excited by the geological potential of Raska where we have now gained exposure to both gold and copper with Ceovishte. The new licence is found in the vicinity of Adriatic’s Kiževak and Sastavci Pb-Zn mines together with its Cu-focused exploration property at Suva Ruda-Rudnica and north of numerous historic lead-zinc-silver mines in the north of the Serbian province of Kosovo. Significantly, the most prospective area for high grade gold located in the northwesterly quadrant of Ceovishte is concealed by a thin overburden and has not seen any historical drill testing. This provides us with a unique exploration upside to search beneath a shallow cover resulting in quick drill target definitions. Our field crew has been dispatched to the locality to conduct sampling for soil geochemistry and we will provide updates on the field work very shortly.

Figure 1. Terra’s Ceovishte licence is situated on the northern flank of the Kopaonik metallogenic zone of southern Serbia featuring numerous mines, exploitation and exploration licences. The prospective geology is dominated by rocks of andesitic to dacitic composition.

Geological Setting of the New License

Ceovishte sits on the southern slopes of the Golija Mountain, a part of the Kopaonik metallogenic zone. This area features the Kiževak and Sastavci Pb-Zn-Ag mines including the Karadak deposit, all owned by Adriatic Metals plc. The historical Yugoslav GKZ, non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for Kiževak is 3.9 Mt of ore grading 3.92% Zn, 2.15% Pb and 31 g/t Ag in the A+B+C1 categories (www.adriaticmetals-serbia.com/our-projects/adriatic-metals-serbia-sastavci). The Raska mining district also holds the Rudnica Cu-Au porphyry district and is a northerly extension of the partially exploited world class Trepča Pb-Zn-Ag skarn deposit of Kosovo, the northern Serbian autonomous province as seen in Figure 1. Trepča features a non-NI 43-101 compliant, Yugoslav resource estimated at 60.5 Mt of ore grading 8% Pb+Zn and >159 Moz of Ag.

Figure 2. The NW sector of the Ceovishte licence known as Medjurečje is characterized by a high-grade gold target that saw historical (pre-WWII) exploration conducted by underground adits and galleries which yielded high grade intercepts highlighted above. No systematic geochemical, geophysical or drill testing follow up has ever been done.

Terra Balcanica Extends Massive Sulfide Mineralization With Two Step Out Holes at Its Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 20th 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) is pleased to announce an extension of polymetallic sulphide veins with two step-out holes at the Čumavići Target at its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights:

  • Extension of shallow epithermal vein system: drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 meters while CMVDD002 and CMVD003 aimed to test the down-dip extensions of the high-grade polymetallic vein;
    • An 83 m step out CMVDD003 also intercepted massive sulfides (Figure 1);
  • Larger vein thickness: intervals contain up to 11 meters of visible sphalerite-galena-stibnite mineralization with the system remaining open;
  • Assay results from CMVDD002 and CMVDD003 will be released shortly.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

The intersection of more vein hosted mineralization over 80 meters away from the initial high-grade drill hole at Cumavici is very encouraging and confirms the potential size of this shallow epithermal system. The visible signatures seen are analogous to polymetallic epithermal vein systems elsewhere in the Balkans featuring sphalerite, galena, and stibnite. We are encouraged by the first three holes and plan to aggressively delineate the full extent of the Cumavici target along the 7.2 km long structural corridor and will release the assay results in the next few weeks.

Drill Core Observations

Terra Balcanica commenced the maiden drilling program by confirming the presence of a high-grade polymetallic vein system at the Cumavici Target (see Company’s news release dated September 8th, 2022). Observations of two further drillholes detailed below extends the high-grade polymetallic mineralization down dip by over 70 meters (measured distance in section) and reports thicker visible vein structures.

Hole CMVDD002 intercepted a shallow semi-massive sulphide vein dominated by colloform-crustiform banded sphalerite-galena at 45 meters depth. The vein footwall hosts an interval of quartz-stibnite-sphalerite veinlet stockwork. Similar textures are observed in previously reported drillhole CMVDD001.

Hole CMVDD003 intercepted 9 meters of visible massive sulphides in a vein within a hydrothermally altered andesitic tuff. 2 meters of semi-massive sulphides are observed from 91 meters depth with stringers extending up into the hanging wall for 2 meters. The veins are composed of stibnite, sphalerite, and galena with rare chalcopyrite. Intervals of hydrothermal breccia are present with colloform banded sphalerite-galena dominating the cement phase.

Ongoing Exploration Program

Following positive visual observations in the core from CMVDD001 (see Company’s news release dated August 23rd, Following positive visual observations in the core from CMVDD001 (see Company’s news release dated August 23rd, 2022) two further drillholes, CMVDD002 and CMVDD003, were drilled from different pad locations over 80 meters away with the goal of testing the down-dip extension and continuity of the high-grade polymetallic vein.

Future drilling efforts at the project will aim to test the continuity of the 7.2 km long Cumavici polymetallic vein system along strike and down dip (Figures 1 and 2).

Terra Balcanica Confirms Cumavici Vein Discovery and Reports 824.2 g/t Silver Equivalent Over 4.0 Metres Within Its Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 8th 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) is pleased to announce the results of its maiden drilling at the Cumavici prospect at its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Company intercepted a shallow, high-grade polymetallic vein with the first drillhole completed on the project.

Highlights:

  • Discovery of shallow, high-grade, polymetallic, vein-hosted mineralization;
  • Drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m from 29 m of depth, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters;
  • Results confirm the shallow nature of the Cumavici corridor where much of the 7.2 km NW-SE strike length remains untested;
  • Over 1,000 meters of assays are pending from the Cumavici target area; further assays will be released over the coming month and a half.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

The intercept of the Cumavici vein is an important milestone for Terra Balcanica after over 18 months of systematic surface geology and drill target generation. High grade polymetallic assays close to surface confirm the macroscopic observations of massive Pb-Zn-Sb sulfides and warrant down-dip as well as along-strike step outs to delineate the size of this epithermal system. As an early mover in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we are looking forward to following the success of Adriatic Metals in applying modern exploration in an underexplored country with prospective ground. We eagerly await assay results from additional drill holes which will be reported once received.

Terra Balcanica Intercepts Shallow Polymetallic Vein at Cumavici Within Its Viogor-Zanik Project In Bosnia-Herzegovina

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 23rd 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) is pleased to announce an intersection of massive polymetallic sulphide vein at the Cumavici target located within its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights:

  • The first diamond drillhole (Drillhole CMVDD001) completed by the Company at the Viogor-Zanik project discovered a shallow polymetallic, epithermal vein at the Cumavici target located in the NW sector of the project (Figure 1)
  • Massive sulfide veins were intercepted as shallow as 29 meters depth; two intervals of massive sulfide veining dominated by colloform banded sphalerite, galena, and stibnite;
  • Cumavici vein system is over 7.2 km in length and open along strike and down-dip;
  • Assays from current drilling will be released shortly

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

The presence of a shallow, polymetallic, massive sulphide, vein-hosted system at Cumavici confirms our detailed targeting over the past 20 months. The Viogor-Zanik projects hosts epithermal and porphyry targets that are being tested by our inaugural drill program. Cumavici is a 7.2 kilometers zone of mapped intermediate sulfidation veins and our focus is to define the extents of the mineralized footprint. We are eagerly awaiting the laboratory assays which should be released shortly.

Target Introduction: Cumavici

Cumavici is an intermediate sulfidation, epithermal vein system situated 6.2 km northwest of the Company’s Olovine target, and 6.7 km west-northwest of the operating Sase Mine (owned and operated by Mineco plc.) which produces approximately 330,000 tonnes of lead-zinc-silver-gold concentrate per year. Cumavici has been defined as a 7.2 km northwest-southeast corridor outlined by structural mapping, soil geochemistry, and geophysics.

Surface sampling at Cumavici conducted by the company over the past 18 months illustrated the potential for high-grade, laterally extensive system. A rock chip sample 100668 collected ca. 3 km SE of CMVDD001 yielded 0.327 g/t Au, 31.7 g/t Ag, 2.2% Pb and 20.1% Zn.

Drill Core Observations – CMVDD001

Drill hole CMVDD001 confirmed the presence of a polymetallic vein system and intercepted two distinct zones of sulphide veining within Miocene volcanic breccias. Intervals of sulphide-cemented hydrothermal breccia commences at only 29-meter depth.

Vein-hosted, microcrystalline colloform banded sphalerite and coarse galena is present at 31 meters followed by massive stibnite, sphalerite, and breccia to 32 meters. Sulphide veinlets extend into the footwall to 33 meters depth and a further zone of disseminated sulphide is present from 43 meters to depth of 48 meters. Banded veins indicate sustained fluid flow through structures, with additional fluid pervasively altering and precipitating disseminated massive sulfides within the andesitic tuffs and volcanic breccias.

Textural information points to sustained, polyphase fluid flow through the targeted structure which remains open along strike and depth.

Current Drill Program

Hole CMVDD001 was designed to test the presence of a NW-SE striking vein system and dipping to the SW with the regional structural trend. There are numerous planned step-out pad locations to the NW to test the system along strike.

Future drilling efforts will test the continuity of the polymetallic vein system along strike and down dip (Figure 3). Additionally, Terra Balcanica continues to generate drill targets within various sectors of the prospective Cumavici corridor for further shallow polymetallic vein intercepts to the NW and SE.

Terra Balcanica Discovers Gold On Surface at Brezani Target Within Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 17th 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) is pleased to announce the results of exploration trenching at the Brezani target at its 90% owned Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highlights:

  • All composite assays obtained from 4 surface trenches totaling 205 m at the greenfield Brezani target intercepted gold mineralization;
    • Trench BRE_004 returned 32 m at 0.54 g/t AuEq. including 10 m at 1.01 g/t AuEq.;
  • Gold-silver-zinc-copper mineralization is confirmed over a 255 m by 220 m area and open along strike within an 850 m gold-in-soil anomaly;
  • Trenching is centred on a 1.2 km wide magnetic high coincident with a strong conductivity anomaly open at depth; this key geochemical and geophysical target will be drill-tested in the current program;
  • Diamond drilling at Brezani has commenced and assays will be released shortly.

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments:

Brezani is an exciting greenfield target discovered by our team in 2021 based on systematic soil sampling and geophysics. The follow up trenching has confirmed significant gold intercepts at surface that may be part of a much larger sulfide mineralized system at depth, which is implied by a 1.2 kilometer wide magnetic and conductivity anomaly. We have now advanced the Brezani target to the drill-testing stage, and assays from our first hole will be released shortly.

Brezani Target – Introduction

  • The Viogor-Zanik project is located within the Oligo-Miocene Srebrenica Magmatic Complex (“SMC”). SMC is situated at the far northwestern extent of the Serbo-Macedonian Metallogenic Province (“SMMP”). This prolific metallogenic province is host to several world class Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn deposits (Figure 1).
  • The Brezani target is located 8.4 km south of the operating Sase Mine (Figure 2), which is owned and operated by Mineco Ltd., a private mining company. The Sase Mine produces approximately 330,000 tonnes of lead-zinc-silver-gold concentrate per year.
  • Brezani hosts several components of a large magmatic-hydrothermal system. It was a greenfield discovery made by the Company after applying modern exploration techniques over the 2020-2022 period including geochemical, geophysical, and structural analysis.
    • Soil sampling was completed on a 125m x 125m grid and defined a geochemical anomaly for detailed geological mapping. An extensive package of hornfels was subsequently identified in contact with diorite and granodiorite intrusive rocks.Soil sampling was completed on a 125m x 125m grid and defined a geochemical anomaly for detailed geological mapping. An extensive package of hornfels was subsequently identified in contact with diorite and granodiorite intrusive rocks.
    • Geophysical analysis including 1331-line km airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys completed in 2021 identified a 1.2 km magnetic high anomaly that may be a proxy for a much larger mineralized system at depth (Figure 3).
    • Trenches were completed to expose bedrock at the inferred hornfels-intrusive contact. Sphalerite and chalcopyrite bearing calc-silicate hornfels and banded exoskarns are observed coincident with Au-Bi-Te-Zn soil geochemical anomalies, marking a contact metasomatic halo. Sulfides are disseminated and lamination parallel. Pervasively argillic altered volcanics and vuggy silica are noted in the trenches indicating a shallow level of erosion (Figure 4 and 5).

Terra Balcanica Provides Project Update and Announces Positive Change to Bosnian Exploration Act

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 18th, 2022 – Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA) announces the enactment of a new legislative framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina positively impacting its mineral exploration concessions and provides an update on its flagship Viogor-Zanik polymetallic project.

Project Update

The Company has completed 205 m of exploration trenching at the newly discovered Brežani target while commencing an inaugural 3,500 m diamond drill program to test a series of high-grade silver-gold-lead-zinc prospects hosted in both epithermal veins and disseminated gold-copper mineralization. The results from trenching and drilling will be released shortly.

New Mineral Exploration Act in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In the last parliamentary session before the upcoming elections in October 2022, lawmakers of the Republic of Srpska (“RS”) in Bosnia and Herzegovina passed a legislation on mineral exploration that updated the Act that has been in existence since 2015. The government proposed an extension to mineral concession rights which was overwhelmingly approved by the RS parliamentarians on June 23rd , approved by the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnian and Herzegovina on June 29th , and became law on July 14th , 2022.

The most significant improvement within the new regulatory framework is the extended length of time allowed for exploration of mineral resources by exploration licence holders on the territory of the Republic of Srpska. Exploration companies can now extend concessions twice for a maximum term of 8 years according to a 3 year + 3 year + 2 year scheme. The new concession period replaces the previously mandated maximum of 4.5 years of exploration activities during which a measured and indicated resource was mandated before converting mineral exploration licences to mining concessions. The new law extends the period of time to conduct exploration work prior to delivering a potential resource estimate.

Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, the President and CEO of Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. comments: “The newly enacted regime on exploration of mineral resources in the Republic of Srpska is a positive development for the legislative mining framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina benefitting Terra Balcanica. The total extended mineral concession term of 8 years ensures that companies are afforded sufficient time to drill prospective targets prior to advancing into the mineral resource stage. The Republic of Srpska in Bosnia has many areas of highly fertile exploration ground where Terra Balcanica covers 216 km 2 at its flagship Viogor-Zanik project.”

Тogether with the Srebrenica municipal partners (mayor’s office, fire brigade, local tourist office and mountaineering conservationalists from the “Sušica” association), Drina’s staff lead the way on Friday by cleaning up the town center, the wider Potočari area, elementary and high school yards as well as the protected Guber Spa zone. We had fun removing debris from creek beds, planting trees and collecting litter anywhere we found it all while engaging and educating the town’s future generations (ages 4 to 15) about the importance of environmental protection and… mining, of course!
The turnout was impressive with over 250 citizens taking part in a call to action which we hope will become a monthly event.

EBS at Viogor-Zanik Completed

Being a part of Terra Balcanica Resources group means being committed to protecting the environment where we operate and maintain good stewardship for the long-term benefit of all our stakeholders. Our goal is to prevent, or otherwise minimize, mitigate, and remediate the effects that our operations have on communities and the biosphere. As such, Drina Resource doo Srebrenica commissioned and executed a baseline environmental study over the spatial extent of the Viogor-Zanik project as the first and crucial step in the continuum of natural stewardship. The Institute for Ecology and Public Health of the Republic of Sprska, Bosnia and Herzegovina collected over 30 soil, ground and running water as well as air quality samples at 6 locations to serve as an official environmental reference.

Kaludra Project Update

A steady progress is being made at Tera Balkanika doo Beograd Kaludra polymetallic exploration licence of the SW Serbia’s Raška mining district (the Kopaonik metallogenic zone). In conjunction with soil geochemistry data, the first phase of our 66 km ground, high resolution, poly‐dipole IP/Resistivity study (12 dipole/50 m spacing) by Turkish Enerson Engineering will provide chargeability targets for a preliminary 1,500 m drilling campaign expected to commence in Q1 of 2022. We are proud of our field team which blazed the lines and has been safely executing this important study over a challenging topography and frequently unforgiving bush.

Another Exploration Licence Granted

We are delighted to announce that Drina Resources d.o.o Banja Luka was granted another exploration licence in the Srebrenica mining district of eastern Bosnia. The Republic of Srpska Ministry of Mines granted an area of 49 km2, internally named Čauš, to the Company for the purpose of exploring polymetallic resources. This competes our land tenure package and a hold over the prospective magmatic complex hosting the operating Sase mine and featuring the target, Oligo-Miocene host lithologies.

Additionally, our field teams have been deployed anew to execute on a 1,750-sample soil sampling program covering the majority of the Čumavići and Olivine licences. The survey was conducted on a 250×250 m grid combined with a ridge-and-spur sampling at the eastern Olovine target near the locality of Brezovice. The soil samples processed by the regional ALS Global office in Bor, Serbia where they are subject to aqua regia digest followed by an ICP MS analysis coupled with a fire assay Au finish.

Field Work Commenced

Drina Resources d.o.o. Banja Luka, a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Balcanica Resources Corp., commenced field work on its two exploration licenses in eastern Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A team of five exploration geologists coupled with five geotechnicians well versed in the procedures of systematic stream sediment sampling will traverse the area of 150 km2 collecting 3-4 kg samples of -8 mesh size fraction while getting acquainted with the basement and intrusive lithologies of the Srebrenica Magmatic Complex. This first-pass geochemical targeting will narrow down the primary zones of interest to be followed up by soil and rock chip sampling and detailed mapping.
