Vancouver, British Columbia – BeMetals Corp. (TSXV: BMET, OTCQB: BMTLF, Frankfurt: 1OI.F) (the “Company” or “BeMetals”)
is pleased to announce remaining drilling results from its 2023 exploration program at the Pangeni Copper Project in Zambia (the
“Project” or the “Property”). A new phase of core drilling has recently commenced to identify additional zones of higher-grade
copper and expand the footprint of the mineralization within the priority D-Prospect area.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• D14-C1: Returned multiple zones of copper mineralization from a shallow, approximately 70 metres, vertical depth
• D14-C1: Interval 1: 69.41 metres grading 0.25 % copper (“Cu”), including: 12.91 metres grading 0.37% Cu, and
Interval 2: including 12.64 metres grading 0.32% Cu with 7.64 metres grading 0.39% Cu
• The mineralization, and associated alteration discovered at the D-Prospect, currently traced over 1.5 kilometres
along strike, shows many of the hallmarks of large-scale copper deposits mined in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt
• A follow up core drilling program is underway to test extensions and grade continuity of the hole D22-C1 (Interval 3:
18.10 metres grading 0.70% Cu) intercept reported in January 2024, and other drilled copper intersections at this Prospect, beneath the shallow Kalahari sand cover
Note: Table 1 below provides details of these 2023 drilling program results and other intersections in drill hole D14-C1.
John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals, stated “We are pleased with the analytical results indicating multiple, or stacked,
zones of copper mineralization from drill hole D14-C1 that was drilled during last year’s exploration program. These new D14-C1
and recently released D22-C1 drill hole results re-enforce the large-scale discovery potential of the priority D-Prospect at the
Pangeni Project. In February, Dr. Richard Sillitoe completed a drill core review of the D-Prospect and concluded that the copper mineralization is closely similar in geological setting, style, and age to that exploited by Barrick Gold Corporation at their Lumwana Copper Mine, in the Zambian Copperbelt, and the current results motivate further drilling.
The Company has recently commenced a planned 1,800 to 2,000 metre follow-up core drilling program and approximately 600
metres of this program have already been drilled with the first completed drill hole under sampling and dispatch to the laboratory. First results from the current drilling are expected during Q2, 2024. see & read more on
