Project Focus – Mushima North Project, Zambia

PROJECT FOCUS - MUSHIMA NORTH PROJECT, ZAMBIA

Further to the Company's announcement of 28 April 2023, advising of favourable copper analytical results from sampling of core from historic drill hole RKN800, the Company is now releasing a separate "Project Focus" presentation for its Mushima North Project in Zambia.

This presentation provides additional context for the above announcement and can be found on the Company's website at: https://www.tertiaryminerals.com/presentations

Mushima North is one of five projects in Zambia where Tertiary is exploring for copper, and one of two projects which benefit from the technical cooperation and data sharing agreement with leading copper producer First Quantum Minerals ("FQM"). The Project lies to the east of the high grade Kalengwa mine (past production 4 million tons grading 5.2% Cu and 40 g/t Ag and pre-mining reserve of 600,000 tons grading 16% copper) which was discovered by drill testing a coincident copper soil anomaly and gravity anomaly.

FQM has provided its extensive database for Mushima North which includes airborne magnetic, electromagnetic and radiometric geophysical data as well as 500m spaced reconnaissance soil sample analytical results. Additional historical data for the area was made available by JAW Consulting LLC ("JAW") of Golden, Colorado which was commissioned by the Company to compile historical data and provide a detailed interpretation and targeting report.

The JAW targeting report has drawn on historical exploration from the 1970s onwards by Roan Consolidated Mines, African Minerals, Zamanglo Prospecting Ltd and BHP Billiton. The latter was exploring for iron-oxide-copper-gold ("IOCG") deposits, a class of mineral deposit that includes some of the largest in the world, including Olympic Dam in South Australia.

The Mushima North Project Focus presentation highlights several targets that have been identified for further exploration. The two highest priority targets are:

Ø Target C1 - A prominent gravity high defined by BHP Billiton's Falcon airborne gravity survey with a coincident copper soil anomaly. The wide, low-grade, intersection of copper mineralisation recently announced from resampling core from drill hole RKN800 sits on the margin of the gravity anomaly making this an exciting target for follow up. Drill hole RKN800 pre-dates BHP Billiton's gravity survey. The C1 gravity anomaly was designated as an IOCG drill target by BHP Billiton, but never tested.

 

Ø Target A1 - A 1.7km long copper soil anomaly with values up to 350ppm copper (in portable x-ray fluorescence analysis) defined by 500m spaced samples and supported by coincident arsenic and zinc anomalies. This is a target for more conventional Copperbelt style mineralisation.

The Company has designed a programme of follow up exploration which will start with soil sampling to infill the FQM 500m spaced soil data and define drill targets.

The "Project Focus" now released for Mushima North is the third in a series of presentations on the Company's key exploration projects and follows the release of the Konkola West Project Focus (12 January 2023) and Mukai Project Focus (5 April 2023), also available on the Company website.
