Canadian listed Alphamin Resources Corp (AFM: TSXV) has reported positive results from infill drilling at its Mpama North prospect and drilling of the company’s new discovery, The Wedge, both part of its Bisie Tin Project in DR Congo.
Ten additional drill holes in The Wedge area to the south east of Mpama North have returned significant tin mineralisation including 18.4 metres at 6.6% Sn from 122.6 metres depth. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate is planned for early in Q3 and will consider mineralisation identified in The Wedge. Drilling at Mpama South has been paused to speed up the progress of deep infill drilling at Mpama North which aims to upgrade the existing Inferred Mineral Resource to the Indicated category and to extend the resource down to 500m below the 50m zone depleted by past artisanal mine production. Results of deep infill drilling so far at Mpama North include 11.5m at 12.29% Sn from 304 metres.
In addition, soil sampling programmes along the Bisie ridge and south of the Mpama South prospect have revealed significant copper, arsenic zinc and lead anomalies and a selection of these anomalous samples will be assayed for tin. Auger drilling and further sampling will then define diamond drill targets in line with Alphamin’s strategy to identify additional Mineral Resources within the project area.
