Significant Copper Mineralisation Intersected in the second hole drilled at Cheyeza East

Arc Minerals Limited, the exploration and development company with copper and cobalt exploration assets in Zambia and multi-million-ounce gold development projects in DRC and Slovakia, is pleased to provide an update on its maiden drill program at Cheyeza East in Zambia.

Highlights

· First two holes completed at Cheyeza East

· Visible mineralization intersected in both two holes drilled

· Zones of significant mineralisation intersected in CHDDE002 with the first zone 2m below surface

Nick von Schirnding, Executive Chairman of Arc stated "This has been a very satisfactory start to our drilling campaign in Zambia and I am pleased to see that the anomaly identified by the detailed geophysics and geochemistry completed last year has produced results. The drill cores have now been sent for assay and we expect results imminently. Additionally, we have identified another significant anomaly in the west of our licence areas and a further update will follow."

Cheyeza Target Area

The Cheyeza Target Area was one of several areas identified by both the geophysics and geochemistry work programs completed last year. As reported on the 5th June 2019, of particular interest is a 3km by 0.8km area at Cheyeza East where up to 2,792 ppm copper in the soils has been identified and where these two initial holes were drilled.

Drilling is continuing at Cheyeza East to test its full extent, both along strike and down dip.
