Arc Minerals Ltd. announced the commencement of the second season of exploration activities over the Zamsort and Zaco license areas in north western Zambia. Diamond drilling activities will commence over the Fwiji Target ('Fwiji') where the company has already defined the target area through previous exploratory works. Follow up work at a number of the other target areas, including Cheyeza East and Muswema, is currently underway. The total diamond drilling program for the year is budgeted for an initial 8,000m with hole depths to between 100m - 250m below surface. Diamond drilling is initially intended to confirm the interpreted anticlinal structure and mineralisation associated with the hinge component to this anticline. This will then be followed to test the mineralisation in the down-plunge hinge component to the anticline. The Fwiji target area has been confirmed by both the soil sampling and airborne geophysical programmes and is situated on the northern limb of the Nyambwezu Syncline. The area is dominated by an open, south westerly plunging anticline, as defined by the Lower Roan quartzite ridge. The pXRF analysis of the soil samples collected over the target area defined an arc-shaped low order Cu anomaly (>100 ppm) extending for circa 4km, within which a core, high order Cu anomaly (>200 ppm) was traced for circa 2km. The current interpretation for Fwiji postulates that the copper mineralization is hosted in the hinge of plunging south westerly anticline. Near surface oxide mineralization is expected to be intersected with the primary sulphide mineralization down plunge.
