Lusasha Copper Project

Early-stage copper exploration across three sites in the Kasama District, with more than 80 line-kilometres of ground magnetics completed, copper occurrences documented in the field, and polymetallic potential in gold, silver and gemstones.

Work Completed → Investor Data Room →
Executive Summary

Lusasha is an early-stage copper exploration project in the Munkonge area of Kasama District, Northern Province, held under Large-Scale Exploration Licence 29745-HQ-LEL by Lusasha Mining & Contractors Limited, in joint venture with Jimbe Minerals. The project comprises three exploration sites in an accessible district near Kasama, the provincial capital.

Systematic groundwork has been completed: ground magnetic surveying totalling more than 80 line-kilometres at 15 m station spacing across two survey corridors, together with field reconnaissance that has documented an inventory of GPS-located copper occurrences across all three sites — with additional gold, silver, iron and emerald occurrences recorded.

Environmental permitting is advanced: ZEMA has reviewed the project's Environmental Project Brief and cleared it for final submission, positioning the project to move into its staged exploration programme of mapping, geochemistry, trenching and drilling. No drilling has yet been undertaken and no mineral resource has been declared.

Lusasha Project overview, Kasama District, Northern Province

Ground magnetic surveying has been completed over two corridors: approximately 54 line-km at 15 m spacing over a 1 km-wide corridor covering Sites 1 and 2, and a further 26.9 line-km over a 1–1.2 km-wide corridor at the southern site. The surveys provide the structural framework for targeting within the licence.

In parallel, field teams have ground-truthed the licence, recording a GPS inventory of copper occurrences — including near-surface showings logged at depths of 5 m to 30 m+ — together with gold, silver and emerald occurrence points. Detailed occurrence locations are held in the technical database and disclosed through the data room.

Permitting & Forward Programme
2023
Completed
Environmental Project Brief prepared for large-scale prospecting; ZEMA reviews the second draft and clears it for final submission, with statutory fees assessed.
Fieldwork
Completed
Ground magnetic surveys completed across two corridors (approximately 54 km and 27 km of lines) and systematic GPS reconnaissance of copper, gold, silver and emerald occurrences across all three sites.
Next
Planned
