Rome Resources Plc CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest drilling results from the Kalayi Tin prospect at the company's Bisie North project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The results reinforce the company's geological model, showing promising tin grades and consistent mineralization.
Barrett highlighted the success of drill hole 15, which returned approximately ten meters with an average grade of around 1.5%. While hole 16 showed slightly lower grades, he noted that the variability, or 'pinch and swell' of the deposit, is in line with expectations. The company is still drilling with four rigs, operating out of Kisangani, avoiding the issues in Goma and Bukavu.
Barrett mentioned that Rome Resources has only drilled 30% of the identified 2000-meter tin and soil anomaly, suggesting significant potential for future exploration. The focus remains on the central portion of the prospect, with future plans to explore northern and southern extensions.
'We are seeing tin, we are seeing good grades, we are seeing increase in depth; and so we are still drilling. There's no issues,' Barrett stated. The company is likely to produce an initial mineral resource estimate within the next month to six weeks.
