Tertiary Minerals plc has completed its inaugural drill at the Mushima North copper project in Zambia.

Started in September, the programme aimed to test the A1 and C1 coincident copper, zinc and arsenic soil anomalies defined by soil sampling in 2023.
A total 25 air core / reverse circulation holes were drilled to a maximum depth of 112 metres.
The company said that three drill traverses were completed at anomaly A1 and one drill traverse at anomaly C1.
Portable X-Ray fluorescence analysis of drill samples is being competed before selected samples sent to an independent laboratory for check analysis.
“Our inaugural drill programme at Mushima North went smoothly and was extremely
successful, meeting its objectives in full,” added executive chairman Patrick Cheetham.
“The Mushima North area is quite remote and largely inaccessible for exploration during the wet season, so we are pleased to have completed the drill programme and demobilised the drill equipment before the onset of the rains.”
