About NYIMBA EXPLORATION PROJECT
Project Description
The license was granted on 07th March, 2022 to Gulf Drilling Limited, after which a certificate of the large exploration license was collected from the mining cadastre office. The area lies in the western part of the Mozambique belt. The prospect has a potential of hosting Gold, Zinc, Copper and molybdenum deposits. To unravel geological data and a continuation of exploration works Gulf Drilling Limited endorsed Tardis Mining solutions in 2024. The license encompasses an area of 1421.7353 hectares within Nyimba district eastern province of Zambia during Tardis Mining solutions involvement in 2024 some geological data was compiled based on reviews of Historical information from ZCCM-IH archives as well as from other historical documents held at the chamber of mines Library, in which some useful information were obtained from the Geological Survey Department in the ministry of mines and minerals Development.
Project History
OVERVIEW
The license 30333-HQ-LEL was granted to Gulf Drilling Limited on 07th March 2022, after which a certificate of the large exploration license was collected from the mining cadastre office. The area lies in the western part of the Mozambique belt, which unravels the potential of the hosting of Au, Zn, Cu and Mo deposits. The tenement is underlain by meta-carbonate rocks of various ages to the southern part of the tenement, overlain by undifferentiated Basement complex mainly granitic gneisses and migmatites with some granite showing trend's of banding covering 90% of the area. The mapped mineralization include Cu, Au, Mn, Pb, Talk and Zn around the tenement. The license holders are therefore interested in Au, Cu and MN deposit from the tenement.

WORK DONE and HISTORY
In and around the tenement the Geological study has identified two phases of deformation that is; an early phase with flat, isoclinal structures and a second phase with asymmetric folding indicating North and North-westly tectonic directions, which align with the irumide belt in the Northwest. The figure below the project details illustrates some intriguing aero magnetic areas that coincide with high magnetic areas associated with Au, Cu, Zn and Mo.

MINERALIZATION
From the 1:100000 geological map done by Geological Survey Department of Zambia, indications of mineralization were observed. The mapped mineralization include: Cu, Au, Mn, Pb, Talk and Zn around other districts but not within the license, in which this tell the possibility of this tenement to hosting the same mineralization. The license holder has interest in Gold and possible copper or molybdenum as well as any other mineral potential of the area. Gold was discovered in the study license by conducting a Geochemical soil sampling program. The concentration of gold ranged from less than 0.1 PPM to 1.4 PPM.

FUTURE EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
- Detailed geological mapping alongside stream exposures, - Gather more Detailed information about the distribution of Gold in a closer sampling spacing of less than 100 meters and sample stations within 50 meters, - Detailed magnetic Survey to identify structures that may control mineralization, - Trenching, - Drilling, Mineral resource estimation and quantification, - continuous engagement of local communities and environmental-social sustainability studies
