BeMetals Drilling Outlines Ingwe Shoot and Intersects New Nkala Northwest Zone At Pangeni Copper Project, Zambia

BMET · Price

Executive Summary

  • BeMetals released H1 2025 core drilling results from the Pangeni Copper Project in Zambia, outlining a higher‑grade “Ingwe Shoot” (≈600 m long, 14–23 m thick, 250–350 m wide) within the broader Nkala Zone.
  • Significant intercepts include D22‑C3 (16.37 m @ 0.29 % Cu, with a higher‑grade sub‑interval of 6.89 m @ 0.47 % Cu) and CT5 (11.20 m @ 0.18 % Cu, including 4.33 m @ 0.32 % Cu).
  • New target drilling at Nkala Northwest (hole D8‑C1) intersected multiple anomalous copper intervals, suggesting untapped mineralization beneath shallow Kalahari sand cover.

Key Details

  • Ingwe Shoot dimensions: ~600 m length, 14–23 m thickness, 250–350 m width; located within Nkala Zone that now extends ≥1.4 km along trend and ≈1.7 km overall corridor.
  • D22‑C3 (Nkala Zone): 16.37 m @ 0.29 % Cu; includes 6.89 m @ 0.47 % Cu (SE edge of zone).
  • D14‑C3 (Nkala SE edge): 3.90 m @ 0.23 % Cu.
  • CT5 (Central Target): 11.20 m @ 0.18 % Cu; includes 4.33 m @ 0.32 % Cu. Additional intervals: 5.00 m @ 0.16 %, 5.32 m @ 0.16 %, 5.00 m @ 0.17 %.
  • D8‑C1 (Nkala Northwest target): Intersections – 1.00 m @ 0.20 % Cu; 1.50 m @ 0.32 % Cu; 5.73 m @ 0.17 % Cu; higher‑grade sub‑interval 3.63 m @ 0.24 % Cu.
  • Other holes: D24‑C2 defined northern edge of Nkala Zone (minor Cu); R1 and F4‑C4 reported no significant copper.
  • Analytical QA/QC: Samples processed by Intertek Genalysis (Kitwe, Zambia; analysis in Perth, Australia) using multi‑acid digestion and ICP‑OES; standard reference material, duplicates, blanks included.
  • Drilling contractor: BluRock Mining Services (Kitwe, Zambia); program managed by Remote Exploration Services (RES).
  • Technical review: Independent technical review completed June 2025 by Dr. Richard Sillitoe confirming significance of Nkala Zone and potential for larger‑scale discovery.
  • Next steps: Company evaluating geophysical/geochemical surveys to target extensions of the discovered mineralization and additional prospects.

Notable Quotes

“The core drilling results … have helped to further define the trend and continuity of both the Ingwe shoot and Nkala Zone copper mineralization… The copper mineralization is sedimentary rock‑hosted and bears many hallmarks in terms of style, width, grade and geology of deposits that are currently mined in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt.” – John Wilton, President & CEO

“It is now clear that the Nkala Zone… is a significant greenfield copper discovery… with geological potential to attain meaningful scale.” – Dr. Richard Sillitoe, Independent Technical Advisor
