# Kabwe Drilling \(“KBDD06-11”\) - Drilling results from ALS Laboratories Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/kabwe-drilling-kbdd06-11-drilling-results-from-als-laboratories--e12b914d-9ccd-4036-a747-fbb03f4de92c Original source: https://senspdf.jse.co.za/documents/SENS_20261016_S605068.pdf Publisher: jse Original announcement: 2026-10-16T05:52:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-16T08:06:44.740Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-16T08:06:44.740Z - Company: Shuka Minerals Plc - Ticker: SKA - Exchange: JSE - Region: Unavailable - Primary commodity: Zinc - Secondary commodities: Lead, Copper, Silver, Vanadium, Germanium, Gallium - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-16 08:06:45 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.90 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Shuka Minerals Plc announced exceptional drill results from its Kabwe Zinc Mine, including the newly discovered 'Sperm Whale' area. Intercepts from holes KBDD09-11 returned very high zinc grades, with individual samples up to 49.7% Zn, significantly exceeding previous expectations. These results, along with strong intercepts in the 'Swimming Pool' area, reaffirm the project's substantial value and potential for resource expansion. Reasoning: The drill results from the Kabwe Project, particularly in the newly discovered 'Sperm Whale' area, show exceptionally high zinc grades over significant widths, exceeding pre-drill expectations and confirming the project's substantial value and potential for resource expansion. The program also included infill drilling in a previously identified area with strong results. - Positive factor: Exceptional high-grade zinc intercepts - Positive factor: Significant intercept widths - Positive factor: Discovery of new 'Sperm Whale' area with bonanza grades - Positive factor: Confirmation of high grades in 'Swimming Pool' area - Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed and followed - Positive factor: Qualified Person sign-off - Positive factor: Grades increasing with depth in new area - Positive factor: Clear footwall contact aiding mining method - Negative factor: True width not disclosed for intercepts - Negative factor: One hole \(KBDD07\) returned no significant intersections Facts used in scoring: 64 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Multiple zinc intercepts exceed the 18% exceptional grade threshold for zinc, including 20.87% Zn, 29.45% Zn, 36.40% Zn, and 26.63% Zn. Evidence · text > grades of 46.7% Zn, 41.2% Zn and 49.7% Zn respectively across holes KBDD09-11 are truly exceptional. **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release explicitly states that a strict QA/QC regime was followed, including CRM's, Blanks, and Duplicates. Evidence · text > A strict QA/QC Regime representing combined 14.5% insertion frequency of CRM’s, Blanks and Duplicates was followed and adhered to. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling in the 'Sperm Whale' area is described as 'newly discovered' and 'previously untested by historic exploration', indicating an extension of mineralization. Evidence · text > holes KBDD09 through KBDD11 were drilled in the newly discovered “Sperm Whale” area, previously untested by historic exploration. **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: All reported intervals are given as downhole widths, with no true width or drill orientation information provided. Evidence · text > Width \(m\) **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: Holes KBDD06-08 were drilled in the 'previously identified' Swimming Pool area, and future plans include increasing pierce point density to upgrade resource confidence. Evidence · text > Holes KBDD06 through KBDD08 were drilled in the previously identified “Swimming Pool” area ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 64.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true ## How Atlas produces this analysis Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
