Castillo Copper Limited announced the completion of the inaugural copper-focused soil sampling campaign at the Mkushi project in Zambia, which resulted in five priority targets being identified. CCZ's geology team were at the Mkushi project for an extended period to complete a comprehensive soil sampling campaign around SYG's operating mining lease, following up on target areas identified from earlier desktop studies and preliminary visits. Using a systematic approach, with 100m spacing in NW-SE lines that were 500m apart, the team collected 1,126 soil samples that provided significant insight to the prospective copper mineralisation potential within the Mkushi project. Performing field analysis as a starting point, using a portable XRF analyser, the campaign identified five well- defined anomalous areas (coded 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5), with 28 samples returning copper values >250ppm. More significantly, the respective strike lengths for the new anomalous areas ranged from 2-7km, delivering an aggregate 20.5km warranting further exploration. The five new anomalous areas are located within 2-7km SW - NE from the high- grade MCM and artisanal pits in SYG's ground which are presently being mined. While MCM are artisanal pits are on the northern shear zone constrained within SYG's mining lease, the five anomalous areas are on the same over-riding system. Subject to clarity from an upcoming geophysics program, the five new anomalous areas could potentially extend the northern and southern shear zones further into the Mkushi project, enhancing the upside potential materially. Just to re-cap, Figure 2 highlights results from a drilling campaign conducted by a previous owner of the mining lease (prior to SYG), known strike zone and pre-planned soil sampling grid1.
