Sharedealer2019: "Believe what news is saying is the science holds up and the RNS is good. Would that be a good synopsis news." @22:13, Tues, 21 May 2024 [Ref: TYM RNS, Konkola West Drilling Update].
My reply as a courtesy: Yes, the science did hold up. How? Kobold "intersected the horizonS" per the "Stratigraphy as in Konkola Lubambe & Mingomba" , the latter a big discovery by Kobold. Mingomba was called Lubambe Extension which is to the East and TYM's Konkola West is to the West.
However, it is also stated in the RNS today, that they have n o t reached or hit the ore shale yet at 1,023m. Of course not given Mingomba only hit ore shale at 1,200m and 4 step out drill at 1800-2000m. So, they are about to enter the shale ore but from the diagram I saw, it is slightly dipping but they dont know yet until they drilled further. Hence, why they say the drilling will be to mid-June 2024 ie earlier or sooner depending on reaching the ore shale.
1 person in particular on this forum stated there is nothing before 1,000m approx. Hence, it was taken to TYM on Twitter and they replied via a long tweet. TYM confirmed that the Lower Roan formation is where the copper mineralisation is at historically ie before 1,000m. But TYM also said they are targeting the deeper part. When I posted about Anglo's drill north of Konkola West, I was jumped on given Anglo hit copper and did a small initial resource from the 8 holes they drilled with 5 having copper. This is the Lower Roan formation which has slightly lower copper grades than the deeper part.
KOBBOLD ON TWITTER, 8 MAY, 2024: "Mingomba Mining Ltd appoints top Zambian talent to bring Mingomba to production." https://twitter.com/Kobold_Metals/status/1788235785092595715 If one opens the tweet up, Kobold said both these employees returned home to Zambia to join the team having spent more than a decade in South Africa & USA respectively. This is rather fast at this point in time? So, hence, it would be a great asset to Kobold @Mingomba if they find copper also like Kobold's Mingomba starting at 1,200m and later step outs at 1800-2000.
TYM RNS, TUES, 21 MAY 2024: "A S S A Y S" [plural]. I quote: "... it is not yet possible to predict with any certainty the depth at which the ore shale may be encountered , though the Company estimates the drilling of KWDD001 will continue until mid-2024 with ASSAYS TO FOLLOW ATER THAT." My comment: If today's TYM RNS stated they have NOT encountered the target ore shale yet akin to Mingomba , then HOW CAN THERE BE ASSAYS TO FOLLOW AFTER THAT?
LoL. If Kobold do NOT encounter the target ore shale as they did at their own Mingomba discovery, how can there be even assays as there is nothing to assay if the cores have not hit the mineralised ore shale? Logical isnt it? In English, it is being presumtive, is it not? So, what are these assays? And to which formation do they come from ie Lower Roan before 1,000m historically or deeper from 1,200m initially
