Tertiary Minerals, listed on AIM, has successfully completed its first drilling program at the Mushima North copper project in Zambia. The initiative aimed to assess the A1 and C1 copper, zinc, and arsenic soil anomalies, which were identified during last year’s soil sampling efforts.
The program involved 25 reverse circulation drill holes, reaching a maximum depth of 112 meters. Drilling was conducted in three traverses at the A1 anomaly and one traverse at the C1 anomaly.
Currently, Tertiary is performing portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis on the collected samples, and selected samples are being sent to an independent laboratory for further verification.
Chairperson Patrick Cheetham expressed satisfaction with the progress, highlighting that the program was completed before the rainy season, despite the challenging and remote location of Mushima North. Results from the drilling are expected to be announced soon.
