Yes, TYM has got to be one of the biggest - if not the biggest - under the radar opportunities on AIM currently. A few weeks back the company also confirmed it was subject to further "unsolicited joint venture interest from major companies". i.e. Code for more than one JV on the table. What we do know, so far, from recent RNS' and briefings is as follows:
* All five projects are now at a stage where drilling priorities can be developed. One of these, Konkola West, is now subject to a term sheet for a joint venture and other projects have been subject to unsolicited joint venture interest from major companies.
* Nearly US$10 billion of investment into new copper mine development in Zambia has been announced in recent times as a direct result of the Hitchilema government's more mining-friendly policies. This is generating a high level of interest in copper exploration in Zambia and TYM is well placed to benefit from this.
* Areas A1 & A2 are targets for traditional Copperbelt sediment-hosted mineralisation where known deposits in Zambia and the DRC range in size up to supergiant size (>25mt contained copper).
See the recent company briefings for full background but it does look as though at least 2 or more JV's are being discussed. We should be hearing about the Konkola West JV very soon. This also excludes any good news from Sweden regarding its fluorspar asset....
Good luck, Brighty
