Deep-South Sources introduced that the Environmental Venture Briefs (EPB) submitted to the Zambia Environmental Administration Company (ZEMA) has been authorized.
The workforce began mobilising on Tuesday November 8 2022 and can begin the soil sampling program on the three licences. This system consists of geochemical soil sampling on every licence to establish anomalies and outline drilling targets.
Luanshya West Venture (licence 23246)
The licence is located within the centre of the Zambian Copper belt and covers 5 423.26 hectares (54.24km²). The challenge prospectively is predicated on the placement of the property over the unconformable contact between the basement granites and the Decrease Roan Group sediments the place most copper belt mines in each Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (the DRC) are situated. Traditionally, some 850 soil samples and geophysical information had been collected over the property by Teal (a subsidiary of African Rainbow Minerals Ltd) between 2007 and 2009. This information has enabled DSM to establish a minimum of 4 massive anomalies. The objective of the sampling program is to generate new geochemical information (confirm the outdated information) and delineate drilling targets over the anomalies recognized. This system consists of 820 soil samples collected identically to the unique Teal sampling program. The sampling grid will likely be 500 x 100 metres, duplicating the outdated grid with the addition of some additional samples in areas not beforehand sampled (holes within the grid). This system will likely be accomplished in about 30 days.
The challenge space is near established copper/cobalt mines with the Chibuluma mine some 35km to the north-east, the Chambishi mine 41km north-northeast, the N’changa mine 53km north-northwest and the Luanshya mine some 40km east-southeast from the centre of the challenge space.
Chililabombwe Venture (licence 23247)
The licence is located within the north of the Zambia Copper belt close to the DRC border. The Massive Exploration Licence covers 2 200 hectares (22.5 24km²). The challenge prospectively is predicated on the placement of the property over the unconformable contact zone between the basement granites and the Decrease Roan Group sediments the place most copper belt mines in each Zambia and the DRC are situated. This system consists of 132 soil samples on a grid of 500m by 100m. The soil-geochemistry survey ought to find any copper anomalies throughout the space. On this specific space, as a result of their abundance, termite mounds will likely be sampled relatively than digging pattern holes. It is because termites carry materials to the floor from appreciable depth and due to this fact generate a deeper sampling profile.
Mpongwe Venture (licence 23248)
This licence is located within the centre of the Zambian Copper belt. The Massive Exploration Licence covers 67 500 hectares (675 24km²). The challenge is taken into account potential as it’s once more situated over the unconformable contact zone between basement granites and the Decrease Roan Group sediments the place most copper belt mines in each Zambia and the DRC are situated. This system consists of two 675 soil samples on a grid of 500m by 100m. It has been designed to seek for copper anomalies utilizing a soil-geochemistry survey.
