#POW Power Metal Resources PLC – Strategic Uranium Properties Staked – Athabasca

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the London listed exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio announces an update concerning its uranium property portfolio focused on the Athabasca Basin area in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc, commented: 

The uranium acquisitions by staking announced today are a further leap forward for Power Metal’s strategic uranium interests in and surrounding the prolific Athabasca Basin located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

The two new properties now secured are adjacent to and largely surrounded by major uranium companies and they demonstrate significant uranium prospectivity with geology considered by the Company to be analogous to major producing mines and other uranium deposits within the Athabasca Basin.

Power Metal started the move to build a uranium exploration business in September 2021 and we believe we are now in a particularly strong position. Our intentions do not stop here, with plans to further expand our uranium focused interests where suitable opportunities are identified.

Uranium has a strong following in capital markets and recently the spot uranium price has moved again above USD$50/lb. With the world dynamic shifting strongly in favour of nuclear power generation we believe that Power Metal should continue this push to build its uranium exploration and development business interests in the London financial markets.

HIGHLIGHTS:

All claims were acquired by direct mineral claim staking by the Power Metal technical team. They were acquired during the most recent Mineral Administration Registry Saskatchewan (“MARS”) electronic registry system claim reopening on 31 January 2023. The staking acquisitions represent some of the most significant additions to the Company’s uranium portfolio. Further information on the staking process can be found in the further information section below.

The newly acquired Haresign Bay uranium Property (“Haresign Bay”) covers a total area of 3,189.2-hectares (31.89km2) located 35km south of the Athabasca Basin. Haresign Bay is surrounded by claims held by uranium focussed companies F3 Uranium Corp, Baselode Energy Corp, CanAlaska Uranium Ltd and Skyharbour Resources Ltd.

The newly acquired Kernaghan uranium Property (“Kernaghan”) covers a total area of 4,566.2-hectares (45.66km2) within the northeastern edge of the Athabasca Basin. Kernaghan is bordered on three sides by claims held by uranium focussed companies including Standard Uranium Ltd., IsoEnergy Ltd., and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc.

During the most recent claim reopening, Power Metal also staked an additional 1,982-hectare (19.82km2) claim area bordering the western extension of its Thibault Lake uranium Property (the “Extension”). Significantly, the Extension covers a historical showing which returned a trenching result of 1.09% U308 over 10.7m, greatly increasing the overall prospectively of the extended Thibault Lake uranium Property. 2

With the addition of the Kernaghan and Haresign Bay uranium properties, as well as the additional staking at Thibault Lake, the Power Metal Athabasca uranium portfolio now consists of fourteen properties, including two conditional disposals1, with a combined total area of 940km2.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Mineral Claim Staking Process

The mineral claims constituting the Haresign Bay and Kernaghan Uranium Properties as well as the Thibault Lake Extension were acquired directly through the Mineral Administration Registry Saskatchewan (“MARS”) electronic registry system.

Where a previous claim owner is unable to satisfy the claim maintenance requirements, that ground is reopened to third party staking at a set time each month. Select reopening’s are often highly competitive with many parties attempting to acquire the newly available land.

The total cost of staking was CAD$5,842.34. The newly staked licences come with a two-year term with no minimum spend requirement and which can then be extended for subsequent years by spending a minimum of CAD$146,059 per annum.

The Haresign Bay Property

Haresign Bay is located 43km south of Cameco Corporation’s Key Lake Uranium Mine which is the third largest deposit within the Athabasca Basin – with an average mineable grade of just over 2% U3O8.1 Haresign Bay is located 35km south of the Athabasca Basin, along the Key Lake trend, which is defined by a cluster of northeast-southwest trending electromagnetic conductors which extend to the northeast over the Key Lake Mine. The Key Lake trend is a defining geophysical and geological trend within the Athabasca Basin, and Haresign Bay represents a significant position held within this important uranium-rich corridor.

The Upper Roberta Lake Target (“Upper Roberta Lake” or the “Target”) is located in the southwestern part of the Haresign Bay Property and is defined by a gravity low anomaly which is coincident with elevated Radon222-in-lake water results. This Target area is further intersected by multiple electromagnetic conductors of part of the Key Lake Trend. Upper Roberta Lake represents a highly compelling target for future work.

The Kernaghan Property

Kernaghan is located within the prolific Athabasca Basin approximately 13km from the Basin’s edge. Based on nearby borehole’s drilled by Denison Mines Corp., the sandstone-basement unconformity on the Property is expected to be at around 100m depth.

The Kernaghan Property covers multiple anomalous Radon222-in-lake water results which are oriented within a northeast-southwest trending belt. This trend is coincident with a magnetic low feature. Kernaghan represents the Company’s third property which is located entirely within the Athabasca Basin.

Thibault Lake West Extension

The Extension covers an additional four Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (“SMDI”) points. These SMDI points cover multiple high-grade uranium showings including a north trending zone of strong uranium mineralisation from which historic trenching returned 10.7m of 1.09% U308.2 Several other high-grade uranium showings are covered by the Extension including grab and/or channel samples which returned 4.8%, 1.75%, 0.71%, and 0.66% U308.3,4

Next Steps

The Company is preparing fact sheets which will include further information and maps for newly acquired staking. These will be released to the market once ready. Furthermore, detailed data rooms are being prepared.

#SVML Sovereign Metals Ltd – ASX Trading Halt Update

Sovereign Metals Limited (ASX:SVM; AIM:SVML) (“Sovereign” or the “Company”) announced on 27 January 2023 that following movements in its share price on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”)and a price query from ASX, the Company’s ordinary shares were placed in a trading halt on the ASX.  The ASX has informed Sovereign that the trading halt has been lifted and trading of the Company’s ordinary shares has resumed on the ASX.

The trading halt did not affect trading in the Company’s shares on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange plc, where normal trade continued.

In response to the ASX price query dated 27 January 2023 regarding an increase in the Company’s share price and in the volume of trading securities, the Company noted that it is not aware of any information that has not been announced which, if known, could be an explanation for recent trading in the securities of the Company, however it does note that:

(a)      On 26 January 2023, Mkango Resources Limited (AIM/TSX-V: MKA) (“Mkango”) announced the receipt of Environmental Social Health Impact Assessment (“ESHIA”) approval from the Malawi Environmental Protection Authority (“MEPA”) for their Songwe Hill Rare Earths Project.  The approval of the ESHIA is a significant milestone in the Mining Development Agreement (“MDA”) approvals process as it is fundamental requirement for obtaining a mining licence in Malawi.

 

(b)      On 7 December 2022, the Company announced that the Company is to demerge its standalone Graphite Projects (being the Nanzeka, Malingunde, Duwi and Mabuwa Projects) into a wholly owned subsidiary, NGX Limited (“Demerger”). The Company expects to publish a Notice of Meeting for the Demerger in the coming weeks.

(c)        In September 2022, the Company completed a 6,865 metre, 438-hole air-core and push-tube infill mineral resource drilling program at Kasiya Rutile Project (“Kasiya”). The infill drilling results from this program are consistent with previous announced drilling results (refer to announcements dated 08/09/2022 and 26/10/2022) and are confirmatory of these previous infill results released to the market. An updated Kasiya Mineral Resource Estimate is targeted for completion in Q1 2023.

The final infill drill hole was completed on 16/09/2022. The final batch of infill drill hole samples was sent to Australian laboratories on 9/11/2022. The final batch of assay results was received by the Company on 8/12/2022 but as stated above the results from the program are consistent with previous announced drilling results.

In any event, the Company has released the infill assay results following a request from ASX (see announcement entitled ‘Kasiya Resource Infill Drilling Results’ dated 30 January 2023).

The Company has strict procedures to maintain confidentiality of assay results with two directors and two senior management employees only having access to drill results prior to announcement drafting and circulation to the board for final approval.

The Company expects that its shares will trade as normal on ASX from opening of trade on 31 January 2023. Trading will continue as normal on the AIM market.

#SVML Sovereign Metals Ltd – ASX Trading Halt

Sovereign Metals Limited advises that the Company announced a voluntary trading halt to the Company’s securities on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), pending an announcement regarding a response to an ASX price query.

The Company requested that the trading halt remain until the earlier of an announcement to the market regarding the above or the opening of trade on ASX on 31 January 2023.

The Company also notes the recent share price rise in the trading of its securities on AIM, and observes that on 26 January 2023, Mkango Resources Limited (AIM/TSX-V: MKA) (“Mkango”) announced the receipt of Environmental Social Health Impact Assessment (“ESHIA”) approval from the Malawi Environmental Protection Authority (“MEPA”) for their Songwe Hill Rare Earths Project. The approval of the ESHIA is a significant milestone in the Mining Development Agreement (“MDA”) approvals process as it is a fundamental requirement for obtaining a mining licence, and while not directly associated with Sovereign’s Kasiya Rutile Project (“Kasiya”) in Malawi, could be perceived as an encouraging regulatory sign.

The Company also notes that it intends to release infill drilling results at Kasiya shortly, which would be incorporated into the next iteration of Kasiya’s Mineral Resource Estimate, and the impending release of the Notice of Meeting for the demerger of its standalone graphite projects (see RNS dated 7 December 2022).

#TYM Tertiary Minerals plc -Update -Copper Projects, Zambia

Tertiary Minerals plc is pleased to announce that it’s local partner and licence holder Mwashia Resources Ltd (“Mwashia”) has now received approval of Environmental Project Briefs (“EPBs”) from the Zambian Environmental Management Agency (“ZEMA”) for the Konkola West and Lubuila Copper Projects where the Company is earning up to a 90% interest.

The Company is also providing a project update for the Mukai and Mushima North Projects following a preliminary data review and first meetings with global copper producer First Quantum Minerals Ltd (“FQM”) with whom the Company has a data sharing and technical cooperation agreement (the “Data Sharing and Technical Cooperation Agreement”) .

Key Points:

EPB Approvals

·    ZEMA has now approved EPBs for the Konkola West & Lubuila Licences.

 

·    The approval process for the Mukai & Mushima North Project EPBs is at an advanced stage.

 

·    EPB approval is required before exploration can take place.

Project Updates

·    Initial prospectivity reviews completed by consultant Remote Exploration Services (RES) of South Africa, based on historical data.

 

·    First meetings held with FQM under the Data Sharing and Technical Cooperation Agreement. Data transfer from FQM to the Company is currently in progress.

 

·    Exploration targeting underway with initial priority areas already defined by RES at:

 

Ø Mukai, where the host stratigraphy for FQMs nearby Enterprise Nickel Mine and giant Sentinel Copper Mine can be traced into the Mukai Licence where there are both copper and nickel geochemical anomalies.

 

Ø Mushima North, where historical drilling in the 1960s encountered wide zones of low-grade copper-sulphide mineralisation and which is prospective for iron-oxide-copper-gold (“IOCG”) deposits.

Commenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said:

I am delighted to report that, following a recent series of positive updates for the Jacks Copper Project in Zambia where we have now earned a 90% interest, the necessary EPBs are now starting to be issued for the other Zambian projects where we have similar earn-in rights.

Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) Disclosure

The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014 which forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (‘MAR’). Upon the publication of this announcement via a Regulatory Information Service (‘RIS’), this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.

 

Additional Information

Background

Tertiary is exploring in Zambia through its local subsidiary Tertiary Minerals (Zambia) Limited (“TMZ”) which is 96% owned by Tertiary Minerals plc. TMZ now holds 90% of the Jacks Copper Project with the remaining 10% held by local company and licence holder Mwashia Resources Ltd (“Mwashia”). TMZ holds an option to purchase Mwashia’s 10% interest in the Jacks exploration licence for US$3.5 million at any time.

TMZ also holds options to earn up to a 90% interest in four other licences held by Mwashia, namely the Mukai, Mushima North, Lubuila and Konkola West exploration licences.  Further details of Tertiary’s agreements with Mwashia are given in the Company’s news releases of 2 August 2021 and 18 November 2021.

The Mukai and Mushima North licences are covered by a Data Sharing and Technical Cooperation Agreement with First Quantum Minerals Limited (“FQM”). Further details of the Agreement can be found in in the Company’s news release of 15 September 2022.

EPB Approvals

Before exploration can be carried out on a licence in Zambia, an Environmental Project Brief (“EPB”) must be submitted for approval by the Zambian Environmental Management Agency (“ZEMA”).  

An approved EPB is already in place for the Jacks Copper Project and Mwashia has now advised that EPBs have been approved for the Lubuila and Konkola West Licences and that the process for EPB approvals for Mukai and Mushima North is at an advanced stage within ZEMA.

Project Updates

The Company and FQM have now held their first meeting and data transfer is underway from FQM’s proprietary regional exploration programmes that included the Mukai and Mushima North project areas. This includes extensive geological, geophysical and geochemical data.

Prior to reaching its agreement with FQM the Company had commissioned South African company Remote Exploration Services (“RES”) to conduct a desktop study on the exploration history and prospectivity of the four Mwashia licences held under option.

The following information is intended as a preliminary update of the prospectivity of the two licences that are covered by the FQM agreement and is based on the earlier RES project review which has already defined priority targets. Target generation is ongoing and will incorporate the FQM data. The Company aims to be in a position to commence field exploration as soon as possible.

Mukai Copper Project, 27066-HQ-LEL

Exploration Licence 27066-HQ-LEL covers 55.4 sq. km. and is located 125km west of Solwezi in the north-western Province of Zambia. Geologically it is in the Domes Region of the Central African Copperbelt and it encompasses Lower Roan Group rocks on the southern flank of the highly prospective Kabompo Dome.

The licence is directly adjacent to FQM’s Trident Project licences which includes the recently opened Enterprise Nickel Mine and the giant producing Sentinel (Kalumbila) Copper Mine, located 8km south and 18km southeast of the licence, respectively. FQM has invested US$2.1 billion in the Sentinel copper mine where the plant has the capacity to treat 55 million tonnes of ore per annum.

Enterprise is a sediment-hosted nickel-sulphide deposit with a total measured and indicated resource of 40 million tonnes of ore containing 431,000 tonnes of nickel from which FQM envisages processing some 4 million tonnes per year of nickel ore making Enterprise the largest nickel mine in Africa.

Just west of Mukai is Arc Minerals Ltd.’s Zambia Copper-Cobalt Project where Anglo American plc has the option to earn a 70% interest from Arc Minerals through expenditure of US$88.5 million including US$14.5 million in cash payments to Arc Minerals.

Historic exploration in the Mukai licence area has been carried out for copper by Roan Selection Trust (“RST”) in the 1960s, for uranium by Agip in the 1980s, and by an Equinox- Anglo American JV (“Zamanglo”) in the early 2000s. Most of this work was of a regional nature comprising stream sediment sampling and soil sampling.

To date, FQM has provided Tertiary with licence-wide geophysical data including magnetic data, radiometric data and electromagnetic data. FQM’s mapping, in part based on this data, has traced the Enterprise and Sentinel host rocks into the Mukai Licence where they occur in similar proximity to the deep seated Kalumbia Fault Zone.

A copper soil anomaly was identified within the Mukai licence by RST in the 1960s close to the boundary with FQM’s licences and is seen to continue into FQM’s adjacent licence as a copper and copper:scandium anomaly (high copper:scandium ratios are seen as an indicator of copper sulphide mineralisation as opposed to enhanced background level of copper in the rock). This is a high priority target for follow-up exploration.

Nickel anomalies have also been identified in the licence area, in soils by Zamanglo and in stream sediments by the Zambian Geological Survey. Data interpretation and targeting is ongoing.

The Mukai Licence contains an area of designated forest, which, although affording a higher level of environmental protection, does not exclude exploration or mining.

Mushima North Copper Project, 27068-HQ-LEL

Exploration Licence 27068-HQ-LEL covers 701.3 sq. km. and is located 100km east of Manyinga.

The licence encompasses basement rocks outside of the traditional Copper Belt and the region is a focus of exploration for copper-gold in so called Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (“IOCG”) deposits, best exemplified by the giant Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium deposit in South Australia.

The past producing Kalengwa Copper Mine is situated approximately 20km west of the licence and is believed to be one of the highest-grade copper deposits ever mined in Zambia. In the 1970s high grade ore in excess of 26% copper, making up approximately 20% of the orebody, was trucked for direct smelting at Copper Belt mines.

Historical exploration at Mushima North has been carried out by RST in the 1960s, African  Minerals Corporation in the early 2000s and by BHP Group Limited later in the 2000s. BHP flew their proprietary Falcon gravity gradiometer over the licence area, defining geological structures and targets for further exploration.

Historical exploration has focused on the eastern margin of a series of syenitic-granitic intrusives. A number of historic copper prospects occur within the licence and soil anomalies have been identified in RST soil sampling programmes in the 1960’s. One of these anomalies was followed up with a 154m deep drill hole, RKN 800, which intersected pyritic siltstone and sandstone containing chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) in association with calcite veins. Sampling of drill cores was very rudimentary with random samples taken at the end of each core run. Nevertheless, copper values were anomalous throughout with many samples grading more than 0.3% copper (0.3% being the upper limit on the graphical scale of analytical results presented with the drill log). This is an immediate target for follow-up exploration.

FQM has so far provided the Company with airborne magnetic and VTEM electromagnetic survey data for the Mushima North licence. This data will be processed with a view to additional target generation and data compilation and reviews are ongoing.

#POW Power Metal Resources PLC – FDR Australia – Wallal Drill Clearance & Update

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW), the London listed exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio, provides an update to shareholders in respect of its interests in the Paterson Province of Western Australia (the “Paterson Interests”) held through its 62.12% subsidiary First Development Resources PLC (“FDR”) which is seeking a planned listing on the London capital markets.

This update relates specifically to the Wallal Project (“Wallal” or the “Project”), one of three Paterson Province projects held by FDR and includes the Wallal Tenements (E45/5816, E45/5853 and E45/5880) (the “Tenements”).

Highlights

·    The Heritage Clearance Survey at Wallal, completed under the supervision of the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation and the Nyangumarta people in September 2022 has confirmed site establishment works for drilling may now proceed.

·    FDR have immediately mobilised an operational team to site to the  eastern magnetic bullseye anomaly identified during the in-depth desktop review (the “Eastern Anomaly) to establish access and to prepare the drilling pad, enabling the commencement of diamond drilling which is expected to follow immediately after the listing of FDR in the London capital markets.

·    The Phase I diamond core drilling programme has been designed to initially test the Eastern Anomaly, which is interpreted to consist of two lobes which result in a distinct target area of approximately 2.5km x 2.5km, targeting a large-scale gold-copper discovery.

Tristan Pottas Chief Executive Officer of First Development Resources plc commented:

“The completion of the Heritage Clearance Survey provides FDR with the final approval required to proceed with the Phase I diamond core drilling programme at FDR’s flagship Wallal Project in the Paterson province.

I would personally like to thank all the key stakeholders and consultants who have helped us get to this decisive point in the evolution of FDR, particularly the Nyangumarta people and Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation.

On receipt of the final report, we have immediately engaged the services of an earthworks contractor to prepare the site to enable our drilling partner DDH1 to commence drilling at the earliest convenience following our planned UK listing.”

Paul Johnson Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented:

Without question this is an exciting time for the Power Metal and FDR teams as we close in on listing, an event which will be followed with drilling at Wallal targeting a large-scale gold-copper discovery. 

From day one to date, FDR have demonstrated their intention to deploy capital immediately into the ground to improve the understanding of the various targets across their project portfolio. This is a mindset that I expect to continue after the planned UK listing.”

WALLAL HERITAGE CLEARANCE SURVEY

The Heritage Clearance Survey (the “Survey”) was completed at Wallal between 12-15 September 2022. The original Survey request which included a detailed description of the Phase I diamond core drilling programme and site-specific maps was submitted to Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation (“YMAC”) by the Company’s appointed Exploration Manager on 31 January 2022. The Survey is a required precursor to the planned Phase I diamond core drilling programme at the company’s Wallal project located in the Paterson Province of Western Australia.

The Survey was completed in accordance with Section 18 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 and in accordance with the terms of the Heritage Agreement in place with YMAC as agent for the Nyangumarta Warrarn Aboriginal Corporation. The Survey was undertaken with the full involvement of Nyangumarta representatives. As native title holders the Nyangumarta possess rights and interests according to traditional law and custom including the right to be fully informed about activities on their country and to speak about their country.

The Survey team, appointed by YMAC, included representatives from Nyangumarta, a YMAC archaeologist, a consulting anthropologist, and members of FDR senior management team. Two 400m x 400m areas were surveyed covering the two planned drill locations designed to initially test the Eastern anomaly (“Area A”) and the secondary target, the Border anomaly (“Area B”). In addition to the drill sites, the Survey also covered the route of new tracks necessary to access the drill locations.  At both drill locations additional east-west orientated survey grids (measuring 2.73km x 4km at Area A and 1.27km x 4km at Area B) were delineated to facilitate potential future on-ground geophysical surveys.

Following the Survey, the Nyangumarta representatives asserted that the work programme proposed at Area A and Area B, was clear of ethnographic and archaeological sites or concerns and that the proposed works programme could proceed.

SITE ESTABLISHMENT AND ACCESS

Following receipt of the Heritage Clearance Survey Report a team led by the FDR’s Exploration Manager has been mobilised to Wallal to prepare the site in preparation for drilling which is scheduled to commence immediately following FDR’s proposed UK listing.  

 

To enable site works to proceed efficiently, the existing access track which links the drilling sites to the well-maintained Nyangumarta Highway, will require minor earthwork improvements and the drill pads and camp accommodation areas will be levelled and prepared ahead of drill contractor mobilisation

 

Both the access and the drill pad location were surveyed during the recent Heritage Clearance Survey. Site clearance is expected to take approximately three days to complete.

WALLAL PHASE I DIAMOND CORE DRILLING PROGRAMME

FDR’s Phase I diamond core drilling programme has been designed in conjunction with Perth based consultancy Resource Potentials Pty Ltd (“Resource Potentials”). The programme is targeting the Proterozoic basement rocks below the Permian Grant Group which are believed to host the sources of the magnetic bullseye anomalies identified during the completion of an in-depth review of all geological and geophysical data associated with the Wallal project area.

Three magnetic bullseye anomalies were identified in the review, the Western, Eastern and Border anomalies. The magnetic bullseye anomalies are of particular interest due to their possible geological similarities to the regionally significant Havieron discovery (Greatland Gold – Newcrest Joint venture).

The Havieron deposit is coincident with a magnetic bullseye anomaly detected by an airborne magnetic survey and has a similar amplitude to Wallal, approximately 100nanoTesla (“nT”) for the Eastern Anomaly and 80nT for Havieron.

The Phase I diamond core drilling programme has been designed to initially test the Eastern Anomaly. The Eastern Anomaly is interpreted to consist of two lobes which result in a distinct target area of approximately 2.5km x 2.5km. An estimate of depth of the cover sequence has been used to constrain the modelled depth of approximately 800 metres to the top of the Eastern magnetic source body.

The Phase I diamond core drilling programme will consist of a minimum of two sub-vertical boreholes totalling approximately 2,720 metres, which will be drilled using rotary open hole to about 150 metres downhole depth and then full core drilling techniques there onwards.

Depending on ground conditions encountered, it is expected that the holes will be commenced using reverse circulation drilling techniques, followed by 83mm (PQ3) or 61.1mm (HQ3) diameter core with a 50.5mm (NQ2) tail to total depth. The parameters for the planned boreholes are set out in Table 1:

#TYM Tertiary Minerals plc – Collaborative Agreement – Zambia Copper Projects

Tertiary Minerals plc is pleased to announce that it has signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with First Quantum Minerals Limited (“FQM”) in connection with two of its copper exploration projects in Zambia.

Key Points:

·  The Agreement covers Tertiary’s Mukai and Mushima North Project Interests (the “Projects”).

·  The Mukai Project Exploration Licence is located in Zambia’s North-western Province  and is directly adjacent to FQM’s Trident Project which includes the large Sentinel Copper Mine and the recently opened enterprise Nickel Mine.

·  The Mushima North Exploration Licence, in the Kasempa District, is also in an active exploration area for FQM and is prospective primarily for iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation.

·  FQM & Tertiary will establish a Technical Committee with the objective to work collaboratively with respect to advancing exploration and development of the Projects.

·  The Technical Committee will advise and assist Tertiary in relation to all technical matters relating to the Projects.

·  FQM will provide Tertiary with all of its historical exploration data for the two licence areas and Tertiary will submit its exploration results to the Technical Committee on an ongoing basis.

Commenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said:

“This Agreement will turbo-charge Tertiary’s Zambian exploration in these two key licence areas. We are set to benefit from FQM’s extensive and in-depth country experience, gained over many years of exploration and mine development in Zambia and, importantly, its site-specific historical exploration in and around these two exciting projects.

“For Tertiary, the Agreement will effectively harness the expertise of one of the world’s largest copper producers without the associated cost, and in return FQM will gain first-hand knowledge of any new discoveries that we make, and will be in pole position, should we seek an exploration or development partner in future. Nevertheless,  it is important to stress that the Agreement does not bind either company to any further agreement or grant FQM any first rights of refusal and so is not commercially restrictive for Tertiary.

“We are grateful to FQM for proposing such a free-thinking arrangement and we look forward to working with their team.”

Upon the publication of this announcement via a Regulatory Information Service (‘RIS’), this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.

 

Additional Information.

Tertiary is exploring in Zambia through local subsidiary Tertiary Minerals (Zambia) Limited (“TMZ”) which is 96% owned by Tertiary Minerals plc. TMZ has the right to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mukai and Mushima North exploration licences from local company and licence holder Mwashia Resources Ltd.

Further details of Tertiary’s agreements with Mwashia are given in the Company’s news releases of 2 August 2021 and 18 November 2021.

 

Mukai Copper Project, 27066-HQ-LEL

Exploration Licence 27066-HQ-LEL covers 55.4 sq. km. and is located 125km west of Solwezi in the north-western Province of Zambia. Geologically it is in the Domes Region of the Central African Copperbelt and it encompasses Lower Roan Subgroup rocks which are part of the southern flank of the highly prospective Kabompo Dome.

The licence is directly adjacent to FQM’s Trident Project licences which include the recently opened Enterprise nickel mine and the large producing Sentinel (Kalumbila) copper mine, located 8km south and 18km southeast of the licence, respectively.

FQM has invested US$2.1 billion in the Sentinel copper mine where the plant has the capacity to treat 55 million tonnes of ore per annum.

Enterprise is a sediment-hosted nickel-sulphide deposit with a total measured and indicated resource of 40 million tonnes of ore containing 431,000 tonnes of nickel from which FQM envisages processing some 4 million tonnes per year of nickel ore making Enterprise the largest nickel mine in Africa.

The project is also located west of Arc Minerals project area on the opposite flank of the Kabompo Dome where Anglo American plc can earn a 70% interest from Arc Minerals plc through expenditure of US$88.5 million including US$14.5 in cash payments.

 

Mushima North Copper Project, 27068-HQ-LEL

Exploration Licence 27068-HQ-LEL covers 701.3 sq. km. and is located 100km east of Manyinga.

The licence encompasses basement rocks outside of the traditional Copper Belt and the region is a focus of exploration for copper-gold in so called Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (“IOCG”) deposits best exemplified by the giant Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium deposit in South Australia.

The past producing Kalengwa copper mine is situated approximately 20km west of the licence and is believed to be one of the highest-grade copper deposits ever to be mined in Zambia. In the 1970s high grade ore in excess of 26% copper, making up approximately 20% of the orebody, was trucked for direct smelting at Copper Belt mines.

 

First Quantum Minerals Ltd  (“FQM”)

FQM is a global copper company operating long life mines in several countries. It employs approximately 20,000 people world-wide.

FQM is  ranked the sixth largest copper producer in the world and is forecasting global copper metal production of at least 790,000t in 2022.

Just under half of FQM’s copper production is expected to come from its Kansanshi and Sentinel mines in Zambia which together represent approximately 50% of total Zambian copper output.
