Arc Minerals ("Arc" or "the Company") provided an exploration update and announce the first set of assay results from the laboratory confirming the presence of near surface copper mineralisation at the Fwiji prospect ('Fwiji'). Drilling and Multi-element Geochemical Characterisation: Ten holes have been drilled to date at Fwiji testing an area of more than 1km2, confirming the interpreted anticlinal feature and down plunge extents, intersecting both oxide and sulphide mineralisation. In parallel, Zamsort and Zaco have received the selected Anglo American soil sample assay results from the ALS laboratory. An interpretive exercise on the circa 2,500 soil sample dataset is being assayed using the ME-MS61L Super Trace Lowest Detection Limits 4-acid digest. Immobile element distributions within the data were used to characterise the lithological and metal trends within the survey area to preliminarily redefine the target ranking, further highlighting the significance of the Cheyeza, Fwiji, Muswema and Lumbeta target areas. Whilst a fully integrated targeting exercise taking into account the additional datasets of geophysics, radiometrics, drilling and mapping data etc. is to be undertaken over the coming months to redefine the targets with the license areas, the company has mobilised the drill rig to test some of these preliminary re-ranked targets in other parts of the license area, starting off at the Muswema target.
