Rome Resources releases further tin-rich assay results from Kalayi
Rome Resources (
) has released more results from its ongoing drill programme at the Kalayi tin project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Assays confirm continuous tin mineralisation across multiple ore shoots, supporting the company's geological model and highlights the growing scale of the deposit.
Among the highlights were 5.5 metres at 0.87% tin from 102.5 metres, and 0.9 metres at 1.28% tin.
An inferred resource is expected within the next couple of months.
One hole, KBDD016, has delivered Rome’s best visual tin intersection to date - a 10 metre wide cassiterite-bearing zone identified at one of the deepest levels drilled to date.
This reinforces the company's zonation model that tin mineralisation strengthens towards the granite source. Deeper drilling is now targeting these higher-grade extensions.
''These latest results from Kalayi build on the success of our last drilling campaign, reinforcing our confidence in Kalayi's growing scale, with mineralisation now confirmed across multiple zones and improving as we drill deeper towards the granite source,” said Rome’s chief executive Paul Barrett.
"It is becoming increasingly clear that we are unlocking a simple, open pittable, high-grade tin resource which, due to the pinch and swell geometry, indicates that there is potential for even greater widths of high-grade mineralisation both at depth and along strike."
View from Vox
Rome has plenty going for it. It’s fully funded, following its £4.2 million strategic investment from Stanvic Mining. It has additional assays on the way. Drilling continues at Kalayi and Mont Agoma, with work unaffected by regional unrest.
