Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR) today has results from its resumed drill programme at the Mont Agoma prospect in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). – showing significant copper and zinc mineralisation.
Assay results from holes MADD024 and MADD026 confirm broad zones of mineralisation. They include significant copper and zinc, plus both showed visible tin mineralisation.
“The results to date are highly encouraging, confirming consistent copper and zinc near surface with tin strengthening at depth - exactly the zonation profile we anticipated,” chief executive Paul Barrett said in a statement.
"This short 3,000 metre campaign is focused on targeting deeper tin mineralisation, and regular updates are anticipated in the coming months as results are received, along with the company's inferred mineral resource estimate for both.”
Barrett, meanwhile, highlighted that a number of key tin targets are planned to be drilled, which will allow Rome to fine tune its geological model and improve its understanding of how the three key commodities are distributed in the system.
Drill results detail
MADD024:
o 14.8m @ 0.67% Cu from 59.1m, incl. 0.7m @ 2.32% Cu from 62.4m
o 13.4m @ 1.26% Cu from 109m, incl. 2.83m @ 2.13% Cu from 119.6m
o 14.5m @ 1.57% Cu from 174m, including 5.13m @ 3.00% Cu from 180.4m
o Tin visible over a 28m interval, reinforcing depth-related zonation
MADD026:
o 54m @ 3.41% Zn from 113m, incl. 21m @ 5.96% Zn from 126m
o 20m @ 1.23% Cu from 193m, incl. 5.10m @ 3.12% Cu from 193.9m
o Tin visible over a 15m interval
Rome Resources noted that copper and zinc has been confirmed across a 500 metre strike and over 200 metres width.
