Project underpinned by Maiden JORC-43/101 resource in progress at Katanga and Safari North.

Currently drilling at Katanga and Safari North, both open ended and at depth.

Approximately 60km of strike on the mineralised Kapulo fault.

High-order copper geochemical anomalies along fault require trenching.

Numerous other copper & gold occurrences yet to be evaluated-000’s of km sq to be explored
