Prospect Resources has reported thick, high-grade copper intercepts beyond the existing resource at Nyungu Central, underscoring the deposit's growth potential within the Mumbezhi Copper Project in Zambia.

Prospect Resources has completed key diamond and aircore drilling at its Mumbezhi Copper Project, uncovering new copper mineralisation zones and progressing a Scoping Study on schedule.

Kaoko Metals has unveiled a new copper discovery at its Chalkos Project in Namibia, significantly enlarging the mineralised surface area between existing prospects and setting the stage for imminent drilling.

Prospect Resources has reported robust metallurgical testwork results from the Kabikupa deposit within its Mumbezhi Copper Project, achieving copper concentrate grades exceeding 25% with recoveries above 94%. These findings bolster the project's processing strategy and underpin upcoming scoping studies.

White Cliff Minerals has kicked off diamond drilling at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, targeting extensions of a 1.7km high-grade sediment-hosted copper system identified in 2025. The 2026 campaign aims to test deeper and strike extensions guided by geophysical surveys, underpinning the project's district-scale potential.

White Cliff Minerals has extended copper mineralisation at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut to over 5.4km, with visible sulphides in every hole across 2.6km of strike from its 2026 drilling campaign. Assays reveal multiple high-grade intervals, underscoring the project's scale and continuity.

Prospect Resources has updated its Mumbezhi Copper Project Mineral Resource Estimate, boosting tonnage by 20% to 208.1 million tonnes and doubling gold resources to 262,100 ounces. The project now boasts tier-1 copper grades comparable to Zambia’s top mines, with Phase 3 drilling underway to expand resources further.

Prospect Resources has kicked off an extensive Phase 3 drilling program at its Mumbezhi Copper Project in Zambia, aiming to expand and upgrade its copper resources with a 26,000-metre campaign supported by geophysical surveys and metallurgical studies.

Prospect Resources has delivered further gold assay results from its Nyungu Central deposit, reinforcing the potential for valuable by-product credits at the Mumbezhi Copper Project and setting the stage for an aggressive Phase 3 drilling campaign.

Prospect Resources has revealed significant new gold assay results from Nyungu Central, part of its Mumbezhi Copper Project in Zambia, confirming gold's broad presence alongside copper and cobalt. This discovery could materially improve project economics through valuable by-product credits.

Prospect Resources has confirmed a continuous near-surface copper sulphide system over more than 1km at its West Mwombezhi prospect in Zambia, with a maiden resource estimate due in Q2 2026.
