About Mufumbwe Copper Project

Project Description

Quick Copper Mining Limited is advancing an early-stage copper exploration project in Mufumbwe District, North-Western Province of Zambia, under Large-Scale Exploration Licence No. 29051-HQ-LEL (granted 17th June 2021, expiring 16th June 2025, currently pending renewal). The licence is strategically located near the Euro Kalengwa copper deposit, a well-known mineralised system in the region, adding to its geological appeal. Work completed so far includes soil geochemical sampling, a ground magnetic survey and shallow test drilling. From 185 soil samples collected, three copper anomalies were identified, with the north-western anomaly proving most significant, covering approximately 1.3 by 1.0 kilometres. A localised magnetic survey over this anomaly provided valuable structural insights, although a full licence-wide survey remains outstanding. To validate the geochemical results, three shallow boreholes were drilled to depths of around 30 metres. Borehole QCMDD00D, in the north-western anomaly, returned copper values between 500 and 600 ppm before being terminated prematurely, indicating possible mineralisation at depth. Other boreholes recorded values ranging from 150 to 350 ppm. These encouraging results confirm copper mineralisation within the project area and support further exploration. With strong early-stage indicators and its favourable location, Quick Copper Mining Limited’s Mufumbwe Project presents a compelling opportunity for copper exploration in Zambia’s mineral-rich landscape.



Project History

Licence No. 29051-HQ-LEL was granted to Quick Copper Mining Limited on 17th June 2021, together with the official mining licence certificate. To commence exploration operations, the company engaged Tardis Mining Solutions to provide technical support in line with regulatory and operational requirements. As part of the initial groundwork, pegging of the licence area was successfully completed, ensuring compliance with statutory procedures and laying the foundation for subsequent exploration activities.

Survey



SOIL SAMPLING SURVEY

Discription

Soil sampling program commenced on 30th May, 2023 and ended on 3rd June, 2023. Daily traverses were done from mufumbwe to the grid covering a distance of about 130km to and from for 5 day. The datum system used is Arc 1950 and all measurements were in SI units, two hand held GPS were used during soil sampling works by two sampling crews. Samples wee sieved to -180 mesh size were the sampling interval was 200m x 400m line spacing and sample spacing designed or oriented in the North-South direction. A total of 11 sampling lines were designed, each line had 17 samples that was sampled sieved and bagged. A total of 187 samples was to be located within license 29051-HQ-LEL and only two samples wee not collected because the sampling points were failing in water that tells that only 185 samples were collected. A total of 37.4km was traversed by the sampling crews during soil sampling, each line was 3.4km long running from south to the North the QAQC ( duplicates, standards and blanks) account for about 5% of the Data collected. Total number of samples collected was 185 , 4 standard samples, 2 blank samples and 5 duplicate samples which reaches to Total sample submitted for analysis to be 197 samples.

SOIL SAMPLING POINTS AND SAMPLES


SOIL SAMPLING SURVEY

Discription

Quick Copper Mine Limited carried out a soil sampling programme to identify copper anomalies and generate potential drill targets within the licence area. A total of 187 sampling points were planned, with 185 samples successfully collected; the remaining two points could not be sampled due to water cover. The survey covered approximately 37.4 km, using a grid pattern of 200 m spacing along north-south oriented lines across 11 traverses, each comprising 17 sampling points. All collected samples were dried, sieved, and analysed for copper content. The results revealed three main copper anomalies located in the north-western, eastern-central, and southern parts of the licence. Among these, the north-western anomaly, covering approximately 1.3 km by 1.0 km, emerged as the most significant, with copper values reaching up to 300 ppm, suggesting strong potential for mineralisation in that part of the licence area.

MAGNETIC SURVEY PROGRAMME

Discription

A magnetic survey was undertaken to refine drilling targets within the licence area, with a focus on the major copper anomaly identified in the north-western portion. The survey was conducted on 100 metre line spacing and comprised 26 magnetic lines across the target zone. This work corresponded with the previously defined north-western soil anomaly, which had shown the strongest copper response. Based on the magnetic results, three drill targets designated A, B, and C were planned within this anomaly to assess its mineral potential. While the localised survey delivered valuable structural and lithological insights, a comprehensive magnetic survey over the entire licence area is still required to delineate additional targets and geological structures.

TEST DRILLING PROGRAMME

Discription

Quick Copper Mining Limited undertook a preliminary test drilling programme using a cost-effective geotechnical rig to validate Geochemical anomalies identified through prior soil sampling. Three boreholes were drilled to depths of approximately 30 metres. 1. QCMDD00A (north of the licence boundary): Drilled to 34 metres, recording copper concentrations of 150 - 200 ppm within siltstone. 2. QCMDD00D (north-western boundary): Returned the highest values of 500 - 600 ppm but was prematurely terminated, indicating potential for further mineralisation at depth. 3. QCMDD00D (north-eastern boundary): Recorded copper values up to 350 ppm within the first 7 metres. The drilling results correlate strongly with soil anomalies and confirm the presence of copper mineralisation within the licence area. These findings justify more advanced drilling to better define the subsurface potential.
