Soil Sampling Confirms Chikundo Copper System
- 2,184-sample soil geochemistry programme completed
- Four priority copper drill targets identified
- Chikundo Prospect highest-priority target
- Independent review confirms hydrothermal copper mineralisation
- Maiden drilling programme planned to commence this month
Evolution Energy Minerals has completed a comprehensive soil geochemistry programme at the Chikundo Copper Project in Tanzania, combining 1,558 new samples with 626 historical samples to create a dataset of 2,184 samples. The programme has confirmed four priority copper targets for drilling: Chikundo Prospect, Nangurugai, Chikundo North, and Chikundo West. The Chikundo Prospect, which extends beyond known artisanal copper workings, remains the highest priority target. Independent interpretation confirms the anomalies are consistent with genuine hydrothermal copper mineralisation. The maiden drilling programme is planned to commence this month, focusing on validating the geochemical anomalies and determining the scale, continuity, and style of mineralisation beneath each target area.
The company plans to commence drilling this month to test the identified targets, aiming to determine the scale and potential of the mineralisation.
