Leviathan Metals’ Maiden Drilling Backs Copper Model Next to a Tier-One Mine

Leviathan Metals has completed the first 6,000 metres of a 10,000-metre maiden diamond drilling programme at its 100%-owned Central copper project in Botswana. The drilling intersected the target stratigraphic contact in 23 of 25 holes, with handheld XRF detecting copper in nearly every hole, though laboratory assays are still pending.

TXR: Talonx Advances Copper Exploration Targets at Kihabe

Talonx Resources has identified multiple priority copper exploration targets at its Kihabe Project in Botswana, leveraging historical drilling, geochemistry, and geological data. The company plans near-term drill testing for these targets, which are supported by previously reported copper intersections including 7m at 1.04% Cu and 18m at 0.43% Cu. While the drill results are historical and true widths are unknown, the identification of new targets and an experienced board appointment provide a positive outlook for future exploration.

Drill Results

NexMetals Reports 7.55 Metres of 6.48% CuEq (2.70% Cu, 1.83% Ni) in SMD-26-219, Visual Intercept SMD-26-217 Intersects Three Mineralized Zones and Extends High-Grade Trend to Approximately 1.5 Kilometres

NexMetals Mining Corp. announced high-grade drill results from hole SMD-26-219 at its Selebi Main deposit in Botswana, including 7.55 metres grading 6.48% CuEq (2.70% Cu, 1.83% Ni). This confirms a thick, high-grade massive sulphide intersection and extends the high-grade trend to approximately 1.5 kilometres. Additionally, visual intercepts from drill hole SMD-26-217 extended the trend further and discovered a new third mineralized zone, with assays pending for this hole.
