Mineral Prospecting — Lualaba Province, DRC

Project Background

Lualaba Province, in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is one of the most mineral-rich regions on earth. It forms part of the African Copperbelt, a geological belt spanning several hundred kilometers that concentrates some of the world’s largest copper and cobalt reserves.

It is in this exceptional context that Africore Global Resources has launched a systematic geological prospecting campaign, aimed at identifying, delineating and characterizing economically exploitable mineralization zones.

Campaign Progress

Phase 1 — Preliminary Studies Before any field intervention, our geologists conducted thorough desk research: regional geological maps, previous studies and reports, multispectral satellite imagery. This step enabled us to target priority investigation zones.

Phase 2 — Field Survey Field surveys were conducted rigorously at GPS-georeferenced sites:

• Main site coordinates: 11°00’28.14768” S / 26°43’49.45836” E
• Altitude: 1,402 yd (≈ 1,281 m) above sea level
• Campaign date: March 2026

Work included:

• Surface geological mapping and rock outcrop description
• Structure and facies identification (metamorphic rocks, mineralized fractures)
• Recognition of alteration and oxidation indices
• Rock and soil sample collection (surface horizon)
• Systematic photographic documentation

Phase 3 — Analysis Collected samples are submitted to geochemical analysis in accredited laboratories to quantify concentrations of economically significant elements.

Preliminary Results

Field observations confirm the presence of copper mineralization indices characteristic of the Copperbelt:

• Malachite (secondary copper carbonate) visible on rock outcrops
• Metamorphic rocks with hydrothermal alteration indices
• Mineralized fractures with secondary mineral infill
• Lateritic terrain on the surface horizon, indicating deep-level weathering

These encouraging results justify the continuation of investigations and the extension of the survey area.

Next Steps

• Geographic extension of the prospected area
• Intensification of geochemical sampling (regular grids)
• Complementary geophysical surveys (ground magnetometry)
• Preliminary resource report and recommendations for the drilling phase
