Midnight Sun Mining Corp (TSX-V:MMA, OTCQB:MDNGF) is getting started on its 2025 phase one exploration campaign at the Solwezi project in Zambia.
The company said the program will focus on sulphide copper targets at Dumbwa and both oxide and sulphide copper targets at Kazhiba and Mitu.
Exploration will build on existing mineralization and newly identified targets from the 2024 campaign at Kazhiba, the company told shareholders.
"We have launched an aggressive exploration program, intended to rapidly advance all three of our key targets," said CEO Al Fabbro.
“While our approach to exploration is measured, methodical and concise, it is also cost effective, and we believe this phase of work can deliver maximum impact on those key targets and driving highly targeted follow-up drill programs at Dumbwa and Mitu.”
Midnight Sun plans to conduct a dipole-dipole induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over a 20-kilometre strike extent of the Dumbwa copper-in-soil anomaly. The survey, covering 56 line-kilometres, aims to identify sulphide copper mineralization at depth and guide subsequent drilling.
At Kazhiba, the company plans approximately 4,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling across 125 holes to test extensions of oxide mineralization following positive results from the 2024 exploration program. Another six to eight diamond drill holes totaling about 1,000 metres will be drilled at a recently identified sulphide copper target spanning four by two kilometres.
At Mitu, an extensive partial ionic leach sampling program will test the entire mineralized trend to refine drill targets for later in the year. About 1,800 samples will be collected to track copper mineralization across the zone.
