Rome Resources plc has reported encouraging drill results from its Kalayi Bisie North project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting the presence of high-grade tin mineralisation at depth.
The company said drillhole KBD023 intersected:
-
2 metres at 8.30% tin from 74 metres, and
-
5 metres at 0.48% tin from 86 metres
Meanwhile, drillhole KBD021 returned:
-
2 metres at 2.23% tin from 181 metres, and
-
2 metres at 2.33% copper from 107 metres
Rome Resources noted that the results align closely with its developing structural model and support expectations that mineralisation extends below previously tested levels.
The company added that drilling is expected to resume shortly at the nearby Mont Agoma prospect, as it continues to evaluate the broader potential of the Kalayi-Bisie North system.
Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources, commented:
“We continue to be encouraged by this second phase of drilling at Kalayi, where the intersection of a tin-rich zone at depth is considered consistent with the Company’s structural model and expectations for high-grade extensions beneath the known mineralisation. These results further support our view that Kalayi hosts high-grade tin shoots that persist below the depths tested to date.
Drilling will move to Mont Agoma in the coming weeks. We look forward to regularly updating the market as drilling continues on both prospects and further results become available.”
