Rome Resources Plc has released assay results from drilling at the Mont Agoma prospect, part of the Bisie North Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The program continues to deliver significant tin, zinc, and copper mineralisation.
Highlights include:
-
Tin (Sn) intercepts
-
Drillhole MADD030A: 23.1m at 0.42% Sn from 3m, within a broader 40m mineralised zone, including a 23m wide tin zone at Mont Agoma East.
-
MADD022: 5.7m at 0.56% Sn from 19m.
-
MADD027: 19.0m at 0.38% Sn from 72m.
-
MADD028: 1.0m at 1.74% Sn from 109m.
-
-
Zinc (Zn) intercepts
-
MADD025: 56.0m at 4.86% Zn from 136m – described as an exceptional result by the company.
-
-
Copper (Cu) intercepts
-
MADD027: 2.9m at 2.11% Cu from 67m.
-
MADD030A: 4.25m at 2.65% Cu from 71m.

Rome Resources confirmed that these results will feed into its maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for Mont Agoma, targeted for completion by the end of September 2025.
Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources, commented:
“These latest assay results underscore the high-value potential of Mont Agoma. The tin grades we are seeing are excellent, particularly with tin trading at around US$34,000 per tonne, while wide intercepts of high-grade zinc mineralisation provide valuable additional economic upside. Importantly, the confirmation of Mont Agoma East gives us a new growth prospect that is expected to be incorporated into a follow-up resource estimate after the maiden MRE, targeted to be announced by the end of this month.
Our immediate focus is to finalise the maiden MRE with MSA for both Mont Agoma and Kalayi. This is expected to set the foundation for the next phase of the project – drilling out the new eastern tin zone, undertaking deeper drilling in the main Mont Agoma zone, and stepout drilling at the Kalayi tin project.
The 23 metre tin intercept in hole MADD030A creates a compelling target for further drilling down-plunge to the southeast. We look forward to delivering the maiden resource estimate and moving quickly into the next phase of resource drilling to capture this upside potential.”
