RE: MUPALA JV INCOMG?27 Mar 2025 10:10
A JV on Mupala is certainly a possibility. I'm strongly invested in Arc Minerals so I'm very aware of whats happening on the other side of the license boundary with Anglo American. Yes they had an application in on the Mupala license but Tertiary got there first. Anglo have established copper oxide / sulphide mineralisation along the basin edge, about 2km from the Mupala license. Further along the basin edge, Tertiary have confirmed a large copper in soil anomaly which extends into the Arc / Anglo JV area.
It looks like the market is starting to wake up to the Mushima North results which point to potentially something of economic potential. That's going to need a deeper drilling campaign to investigate further, I think a JV here is a strong possibility judging from the wording in the RNS.
Mukai drilling results must be due very soon. The geology they are drilling is equivalent to that at the Enterprise mine, a short distance away, FQM have already established sulphide mineralisation just across the license boundary... very excited by this one.
To me it looks ridiculously cheap but obviously people wary of more fundraising. I think they will give these projects every chance to deliver before that happens though.
