Rome Resources - Kalayi drilling delivers widest intercept to date

Global Mining Review,


Rome Resources plc, the DRC-focused tin and copper explorer, has provided an update on its drilling operations at its Kalayi prospect within its Bisie North project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, located approximately 8 km from the world-class Alphamin Mpama tin mine complex.

Initial results from three further drillholes are reported below. Most notably, drillhole KBDD033 has delivered the widest tin-bearing intercept encountered at Kalayi to date, with XRF indications of 20 m with an average tin content of 1.0%, including three sub-intervals totalling 10m with 1.7% to 2.1% tin content, alongside two additional shallower intercepts. These results support the company’s interpretation that the mineralised system may strengthen and broaden with depth.

Status of Kalayi drilling programme (XRF – indicative only)

Since the last update issued on 18th March 2026, three further drill holes have been completed and assessed for mineralisation by a handheld XRF device. Drilling at Kalayi continues to demonstrate the presence of high-grade tin mineralisation across multiple holes, supporting the company’s structural model.

Initial on-site portable XRF results for Kalayi drill holes KBDD031 to KBDD033 are summarised below.

  • KBDD033: 20m at 1.0% Sn from 144m (including 3m at 1.7% Sn from 144m, 3m at 2.1% Sn from 150m and 4m at 2.0% Sn from 160m), plus 3m at 2.5% Sn from 110m and 3m at 0.9% Sn from 137m.
  • KBDD032: 5m at 1.8% Sn from 113m, including 2m at 4.0% Sn from 113m.
  • KBDD031: 4m at 1.1% Sn from 101m.
