Battery minerals explorer, Resource Mining Corporation Limited (ASX: RMI), has received assay results from the company’s Liparamba diamond drill programme completed in September 2023, and from a Mbinga soil survey completed in October 2023. Anomalous ni-cu values were detected within several of the drill holes from the diamond drill programme at Liparamba, with ni-cu sulphide mineralization occurring at 133-135m within LPDD009 (0.35-0.40%Ni and 0.20-0.23%Cu). The drill programme is the first confirmation of ni-cu mineralization within this exciting large under-explored region, with defined targets at depth still to be tested from the recently completed audio-frequency magnetotellurics audio-frequency magnetotellurics (AMT) survey.
The mineralization encountered at diamond drill hole ‘LPDD09’ is supported by both geophysical test work as well as a soil geochemistry anomaly defined by BHP/Albidon. Soil geochemical surveys at the prospective Mbinga project have confirmed the previous anomalous soil results by BHP/Albidon and the location is also above an EM Maxwell plate defined from earlier geophysical studies. With the successful location of sulphide mineralization within an area of an anomalous soil survey at Liparamba, the potential for Mbinga to also contain ni-cu mineralization is considered high.
Corporation’s executive chairman, Asimwe Kabunga, said: “The discovery of ni-cu sulphide mineralization within the first drill programme ever completed within the Liparamba Ni project is a positive outcome and provides a very exciting opportunity for RMC. With these results we can apply the knowledge to extend the exploration works at Liparamba, in addition it has also. meant the Mbinga Ni project, part of the regional exploration area, has located an exciting target zone in what is now known to be a series of mafics that may contain significant economic mineralization.”
