Rome Resources Plc reported high-grade tin, copper and zinc assay results from drilling at the Mont Agoma prospect, part of its Bisie North Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“The latest assay results underscore the high-value potential of Mont Agoma,” said chief executive Paul Barratt.
“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.”
A 23.1-metre tin zone grading 0.42% Sn was identified in hole MADD030A. This was described as “a compelling target” for further drilling in the future.
Additional results included 56 metres at 4.86% zinc and 2.9 metres at 2.11% copper in other holes.
The findings are expected to support the company’s maiden mineral resource estimate, which is targeted for release by the end of September.
“Our immediate focus is to finalise the maiden MRE with MSA for both Mont Agoma and Kalayi,” Barratt added.
“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.”
