Midnight Sun Mining has commenced an exploration programme at the Kazhiba Target within the Solwezi Property in Zambia.

This initiative is part of a Cooperative Exploration Plan with First Quantum Minerals aimed at identifying oxide copper resources near the surface.

The programme includes 3,000m of reverse circulation drilling, partial ionic leach sampling and an induced polarisation (IP) survey.

The Kazhiba Target is an advanced exploration site with two soil-defined areas, Kazhiba North and Kazhiba South, from which 2,145 soil samples have been gathered.

Previous drilling campaigns have revealed significant near-surface copper oxide intercepts, suggesting the potential for an extension of the mineralised zone.

The 2024 exploration programme at Kazhiba target aims to delineate a target suitable for processing in the Kansanshi SX/EW oxide copper circuit.
