Evolution Energy Minerals Limited (ASX:EV1) is pleased to announce that its maiden drilling program at the Chikundo Copper Project in Tanzania is designed and ready to commence. The program follows the announcement of soil sampling results that defined four copper targets. The 17-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program will test these targets beneath the surface, with nine priority holes focusing on the strongest copper results and eight optional holes extending coverage to additional targets. Drilling is scheduled to begin in June 2026, with laboratory assay results to follow as they are received and validated.

The company expects to begin generating drill data in late June 2026, which will define the next phase of value at Chikundo.
