Regener8 Confirms High-Grade Silver-Zinc-Lead Mineralisation at Srebrenica North

High-Grade Mineralisation Confirmed at Gradina Prospect

Regener8 Resources NL (ASX:R8R) has uncovered compelling evidence of high-grade silver, zinc, lead, and antimony mineralisation at its Srebrenica North Project in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The company’s ongoing technical due diligence on the Vagan tenement has confirmed historical underground sampling from the 1960s showing assays up to 92g/t silver and 10.5% combined zinc and lead. Recent grab samples from surface waste rock dumps near old medieval workings at the Gradina Prospect have returned even stronger results, including 147g/t silver and 11.2% zinc plus lead, reinforcing the prospect’s potential.

Historical Work Highlights Untapped Potential

The Srebrenica district has a rich mining heritage, with medieval Saxon and Roman tunnels indicating centuries of activity. Sporadic exploration by the Yugoslav State Geological Survey in the 1960s and 1970s included mapping, stream sediment sampling, and an airborne magnetic survey. Notably, stream sediment samples from 1971 showed elevated lead levels up to 320ppm near Gradina and copper anomalies reaching 1,000ppm at the Polom Prospect, yet these findings were never followed up with further work. This historical data underpins Regener8’s view of significant base and precious metal potential in the area.

Copper Prospects Await Further Investigation

Beyond silver and base metals, the Vagan tenement hosts several copper anomalies identified through 1977 stream sediment sampling. Prospects such as Polom, Bandera, Ratko, Vitko, Sieno, and Kozjak show copper concentrations ranging from 130ppm to 1,000ppm. However, no historical mining or detailed exploration has been conducted on these copper targets, prompting Regener8 to plan foundational work including soil sampling and geophysical surveys to better understand their source and economic viability.

Airborne Magnetic Survey Supports Targeting Strategy

The 1977 airborne magnetic survey revealed strong anomalies across the Vagan tenement, particularly in areas coinciding with high-grade rock chip samples and stream sediment anomalies. These magnetic highs correlate with hydrothermal alteration and mineralised structures, suggesting a direct link to mineralisation controls. Regener8 intends to build on this legacy data with ground magnetic surveys to refine drill targets and enhance geological models.

Next Steps in Exploration Workflow

Managing Director Stephen Foley emphasised the significance of these findings, noting the mineralisation style is analogous to the nearby operating Sase mine. Regener8 plans to integrate the Vagan tenement into its broader exploration activities at Srebrenica North, progressing with detailed geological mapping, systematic surface sampling, and geophysical data acquisition. These steps aim to generate drill-ready targets within the coming year, leveraging the company’s recent capital raise to fund this work. Given the historical nature of much of the data, further validation and JORC-compliant reporting will be critical as exploration advances.
