Midnight Sun puts second drill to work at Solwezi

Executive Summary

  • Midnight Sun Mining Corp. has mobilized a second diamond drill rig to its flagship Dumbwa target on the Solwezi project in Zambia.
  • The additional rig is intended to accelerate the exploration program, integrating new IP data and a 20‑km soil anomaly with existing drilling results.
  • Company leadership emphasizes that the systematic exploration approach aims to delineate a large, bulk‑tonnage copper system comparable to nearby Lumwana mine.

Key Details

  • The second drill rig was brought online as per the company’s Aug. 6, 2025 press release outlining an expanded drilling schedule at Dumbwa.
  • President & CEO Al Fabbro stated the goal is to “correlate all previous drilling, new IP data and the extraordinary 20‑kilometre soil anomaly that overlays the target with underlying copper mineralization.”
  • Dumbwa is described as a near‑surface, low‑strip, bulk‑tonnage target with a high‑grade copper‑in‑soil anomaly (peak values up to 0.73 % Cu) extending ~20 km along strike and >1 km wide.
  • Prior drilling has confirmed sulphide copper mineralization; additional drilling will focus on defining dip, continuity, size, and scale of the system using structural controls identified by recent IP surveys.
  • Recent dipole‑dipole IP survey (covering southern 11.5 km of strike) revealed a horizon ranging from flat‑lying to tightly folded structures, correlating with historic mineralized intervals and soil anomalies.
  • The survey also identified major cross‑cutting structures that explain offsets between historical soil geochemistry and previously drilled mineralization.
  • Qualified Person Darin Labrenz, P.Geo., has reviewed and approved the technical data in accordance with NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“Our systematic exploration approach is in action and the team are executing with precision. All of our data at Dumbwa suggests an extremely large target area, so we have put a second drill to work in order to expedite the program…” – Al Fabbro, President & CEO, Midnight Sun Mining Corp.
