Shuka Minerals Intersects Up to 3% Copper as Kabwe Drilling Expands
Shuka Minerals has reported further high-grade zinc and copper mineralisation from drill hole KBDD08 at the Kabwe project in Zambia, prompting an extension of the drilling programme to 2,500 metres.
Shuka Minerals Plc has reported further encouraging drilling results from the Kabwe Zinc Mine in Zambia, including copper readings of up to 3% and several high-grade zinc intervals.
The AIM- and AltX-listed company said drill hole KBDD08 reached 191.1 metres and intersected three significant mineralised zones in the previously unmined Speaks and Mine Club areas. Results included 18.67 metres grading 2.05% zinc from 87.66 metres, 3.66 metres grading 8.27% zinc and 0.93% copper from 125.33 metres, and 5.66 metres grading 4.18% zinc from 152.33 metres.
Peak readings reached 22% zinc and 3% copper. The company said mineralisation appears to be thickening towards the central part of the northern area and that expected copper oxide mineralisation is beginning to emerge.
Shuka has extended the current drilling programme to 2,500 metres and plans to continue with holes KBDD09 and KBDD10 in the southern parts of the underexplored Speaks and Mine Club orebodies.
The latest results improve confidence in continuity across the Kabwe orebody and introduce potentially meaningful copper exposure alongside the project’s established zinc and lead resource base. However, the readings were produced using portable XRF equipment and remain subject to laboratory verification under JORC and NI 43-101 standards.
