Bam Bam Resources Corp (CSE:BBR) (OTCPINK:NPEZF) (FRA:4NPB) said it has hired Zonge International to carry out an extensive Induced Polarization/Resistivity (IP) program at its flagship Majuba Hill project in Nevada, USA, to better understand the 'size and scope' of the deposit.
The work will expand and extend existing IP coverage, such as a survey in 2007 and a 2018 in-fill program, which, the company said, have been "remarkably successful" in defining anomalies correlating to potential copper zones.

"The geophysics are always an important tool when exploring for large porphyry copper deposits," said Bam Bam CEO David Greenway in a statement.
"I am particularly pleased that our ongoing, phased-exploration program has put us in a position to engage Zonge International at a very timely point in our exploration. Our recently completed drone magnetic survey showed that the tertiary intrusive assemblage at Majuba Hill is at least 2.5 times larger than the geologic mapping indicated. The results of the Deep IP Survey will help us immensely to understand the size and scope of this deposit," he added.
In April 2021, Bam Bam revealed it had acquired an additional 1,200 acres of private mineral and surface rights, bringing the total Majuba Hill land package to 15.1 square miles, or 9,678 acres.
The latest planned IP survey will extend the historic lines and provide wide coverage over the newly acquired private and public lands, noted the company.
Bam Bam Resources is focused on advancing latter-stage copper and copper/silver/gold assets amid the green energy revolution.
The Majuba Hill copper, silver and gold district, which lies 156 miles outside Reno and is road accessible, is the group's flagship asset. It already boasts mining infrastructure.
Between 1907 and 1960, Majuba Hill produced 2.8 million pounds of copper, 184,000 ounces of silver, over 885,000 pounds of lead and 5,800 ounces of lode gold.
