Prospect Resources Limited (ASX:PSC) Expands Mumbezhi Copper Project Potential
Survey Results and Targets
Prospect Resources Limited (ASX:PSC) has announced notable advancements at its Mumbezhi Copper Project, following the completion of geophysical Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys. These surveys revealed significant chargeable anomalies at the Nyungu North and Kabikupa prospects, notably extending the footprint of the copper mineralisation.
At Nyungu North, three coherent anomalies spanning over 5km were delineated, including a prime 550m-long anomaly situated just north of the ongoing Phase 1 drilling. This finding offers a compelling drilling target for further exploration. The two additional anomalies identified further north each extend over 1km, presenting substantial opportunities for increasing the copper resource base beyond Nyungu Central.
Plans are in place to test these high-potential targets as part of a growth-focused Phase 2 drilling program scheduled for 2025. At the Kabikupa prospect, a major IP anomaly stretching over 1.5km is also under investigation, with assays from five initial diamond holes pending results.
Strategic Comments from the CEO
Sam Hosack, Managing Director and CEO of Prospect Resources, expressed enthusiasm regarding these findings. “The Mumbezhi asset has significant regional exploration potential. The previous drilling had been limited, especially relative to the broader Mumbezhi tenure,” he stated. He emphasised the importance of the IP surveys as a strategic tool for discovering new copper deposits in the region.
“Our Phase 2 drilling will target three IP anomalies identified in the Nyungu Corridor, with particular excitement around the anomaly adjacent to Nyungu Central,” Hosack added. This exploration strategy aims to enhance the scale of the flagship deposit and explore larger discoveries within the project area.
Future Plans and Exploration Strategy
Prospect Resources intends to follow up on multiple targets based on the synergistic analysis of historical data and the recent IP surveys. The positive correlation between geophysical data and previous drilling is expected to drive further exploration advances at Mumbezhi. The company plans both scoping and feasibility studies, alongside systematic follow-up drilling on other identified anomalies, to swiftly move towards commercial copper production in this promising mining jurisdiction.
