Kalayi & Mont Agoma drilling: Rome Resources goes deeper
from Proactive - Interviews for investors · host Proactive Investors
Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about ongoing drilling at the company’s Kalayi and Mont Agoma prospects at Bisie North in the Democratic Republic of Congo nd how deeper exploration could materially change the scale of the tin system. Barrett explained that the company is currently drilling multiple deeper holes at Kalayi, moving beyond the shallow intercepts that underpinned the maiden mineral resource. According to Barrett, the objective is to test whether tin mineralisation widens at depth, noting that the first deeper hole delivered a “six metre zone, which is pretty encouraging,” and that further results are expected shortly. Barrett said the shallow tin intercepts at both Kalayi and Mont Agoma are high grade but relatively thin, meaning that increased widths at depth could have a “material effect on the numbers” when the mineral resource is next updated. He added that the focus is on building tonnage by extending mineralisation downwards, particularly where grades have already proven strong. At Mont Agoma, Barrett highlighted the importance of ongoing metallurgy work, given the presence of copper above the tin zones. He said metallurgy will be “very important” in shaping the project’s economics, with first-phase results expected imminently. These tests are aimed at understanding the recoverability of copper, zinc and silver alongside tin. Looking ahead, Barrett outlined a busy first half of the year, with drilling expected to continue through March, assay results flowing in during April, and an updated mineral resource targeted for May. He noted that these developments align with discussions around potential strategic partnerships, including offtake and development funding.
