Apollo Minerals Limited has reviewed historical data from the Couflens Project in France, focusing on the unmined Veronique Zone. The review has identified a data set of 950 diamond holes and 2,700 underground face samples, with significant historical intercepts including 20.0m @ 1.4% WO3, 12.6m @ 1.6% WO3, and 9.2m @ 2.1% WO3. The company has also identified potential for gold mineralisation, with up to 24.5g/t Au associated with the tungsten mineralisation. In addition, the review has found numerous drill holes that were logged to contain scheelite but were not sampled, adding to the exploration potential of the project. The Couflens Project includes the historical Salau mine, which was one of the world's highest grade tungsten mines when it operated.
