Summary
Midnight Sun has defined continuous copper mineralization over a 5.3km strike at its Dumbwa target in Zambia, drawing a clear geological analog to Barrick's neighboring Lumwana mine.
The company is running four drill rigs at roughly 10,000 meters per month and $160 per meter, with the fully funded first 11km of strike expected to be completed by the end of Q3.
O'Brien outlines plans to monetize the Kazhiba near-surface oxide resource (2.33 Mt at 1.41% Cu) to fund Dumbwa exploration non-dilutively, while pending assays are being processed at Intertek after QA/QC delays.
