Patriot Resources reports a major copper-silver discovery at its Tonic prospect in Zambia, with drilling revealing high-grade results, including 2.56% copper and 62.3 g/t silver. The initial drilling campaign revealed broader mineralization, including 1.06% copper and 25.3 g/t silver over 3 meters and 0.41% copper over 17 meters.
The mineralization remains open in all directions, indicating potential for further discovery. The Tonic prospect is part of the Kitumba project, located 18 km from Sinomine's $600 million Kitumba copper project.
This strategic pivot to Zambian copper follows Patriot's focus on lithium in Canada and complements its recent acquisition of the Tassa silver-gold project in Peru. The proximity to processing infrastructure enhances the project's economic viability.
