Rome Resources Plc (AIM: RMR) is pleased to advise that two diamond core drill rigs ("drill rigs") are currently operational at its Kalayi prospect ("Kalayi") and one drill rig is operational at its Mont Agoma prospect ("Mont Agoma") located in the North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo (the "DRC") which, together with the Mont Agoma Northwest prospect, comprise the "Bisie North Projects" (the "Project").

Highlights

  • The third drillhole in the current campaign, KBDD007, is in progress at 103m at the Kalayi Prospect.
  • The second drill rig at Kalayi was collared on the same drill line as KBDD006 in which an impressive tin zone was announced on 27 August 2024 and will target the zone roughly 50m below the initial mineralised intersection.
  • The third drill rig was collared to the southeast of previous drilling at Mont Agoma and will target anomalous tin mineralisation intersected previously in the top 50m of MADD009 and the copper/tin/silver zone at deeper levels.
  • Rome will provide regular updates as to progress on its aggressive drilling programme, targeting a resource mineral estimate by the start of 2025.

Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources Plc, commented:

"We are really pleased with the ongoing progress of our drilling campaign at Bisie North, now poised to accelerate further. The positive results we are receiving support the initial work undertaken at the Project which indicated it has the potential to be an exciting, high-grade tin deposit. With demand for tin increasing, and disruption continuing at some of the world's largest suppliers, Bisie North could be a key element to filling the anticipated supply shortfall of this critical metal."
