Tertiary Minerals Completes Inaugural Drilling at Mushima North Copper Project in Zambia
Aim-listed Tertiary Minerals has successfully concluded its first drilling program at the Mushima North copper project in Zambia. The objective was to test the A1 and C1 copper, zinc, and arsenic soil anomalies identified through last year’s soil sampling.
The program involved drilling 25 reverse circulation holes, reaching a maximum depth of 112 meters, with three drill traverses at the A1 anomaly and one at the C1 anomaly.
Tertiary is now conducting portable X-ray fluorescence analysis on the samples, with selected samples being sent to an independent laboratory for further verification.
Chairperson Patrick Cheetham expressed satisfaction with the program’s progress, noting that it was completed before the onset of the rainy season in the remote and difficult-to-access Mushima North region. Results from the drill program will be released in due course.
