Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Hybrid Conference summary
21 May, 2026Project transformation and strategic context
Project reached a critical inflection point three years ago, now achieving critical mass with recent assay results highlighting significant system growth.
Zambia's Domes Region is emphasized as a globally significant, surface-level copper jurisdiction, surrounded by Africa's five largest copper mines.
The region benefits from low CapEx, favorable mining laws, and a stable, democratically elected government, making it attractive for development and M&A.
Major infrastructure projects, including the U.S.-backed Lobito rail corridor and a new China-backed eastern rail, are increasing global competition for copper assets.
The company’s strategy is to develop assets to critical mass for M&A, not to operate mines, leveraging proximity to majors and infrastructure.
Dumbwa deposit exploration and results
Dumbwa is a newly discovered, basement dome-hosted copper deposit, analogous to Barrick’s Lumwana, with mineralization starting at surface and extending to 200 m depth.
Over 50,000 m drilled since August last year, covering 6.2 km of strike, with 5.3 km of drill intercepts and consistent mineralization.
Drill results show multiple stacked mineralized lenses, with grades ranging from 0.2% to 0.7% copper, and some intercepts over 1%.
The southern half alone targets 1 billion tons, with ongoing expansion drilling to increase tonnage and define grade variability.
Aggressive drilling program aims to complete 12 km by Q3, with five rigs operating and 10,000 m drilled per month.
Financials, funding, and asset monetization
Raised $30 million in October, with $25 million cash on hand and a total budget of $20 million for the first 12 km of Dumbwa drilling.
Monetizing the high-grade, near-surface Kaziba Main oxide copper deposit (2.33 million tons at 1.41% Cu) to fund Dumbwa without further dilution.
Market cap peaked at $400 million in the last 18 months, now stabilized above $200 million as drilling advances.
Drilling costs are low at $160/m, enabling rapid and cost-effective advancement.
