Exploration

Quick Copper Mining Limited holds Large-Scale Exploration License No. 29051-HQ-LEL in Mufumbwe District, North-Western Province, Zambia. The license is valid until 16 June 2028 and covers approximately 1,098.38 hectares, targeting mainly copper, with potential for cobalt, gold and associated polymetallic mineralization.

The project is strategically located within the Kalengwa-Mufumbwe copper corridor, close to the historic Kalengwa copper. This location places Quick Copper in an active and highly prospective regional copper setting.

Exploration completed to date has defined a strong early-stage opportunity. A 185-sample soil geochemical programme identified three copper anomalies, with the main North-Western Anomaly measuring approximately 1.3 km by 1.0 km and returning a peak soil value of 332 ppm Cu. Three shallow reconnaissance holes further support the presence of copper-bearing structures and favorable host rocks.

The strongest result is from Hole D, which returned the most encouraging copper response and now forms the priority area for deeper follow-up drilling. The 2026 Integrated Desktop Study also outlined five potential exploration target zones, supported by structural complexity, iron oxide alteration and magnetic lineaments consistent with IOCG-style mineralization

Project History

Background and historical notes.

License No. 29051-HQ-LEL was granted to Quick Copper Mining Limited on 17 June 2021, with an initial license area of approximately 1,497.7851 hectares. Following renewal, the current license area is approximately 1,098.38 hectares. Following the grant, the company commenced early exploration activities, including license area review, soil geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveying and shallow reconnaissance drilling.

The work completed to date has identified copper anomalous zones within the license area, with the North-Western Anomaly forming the main target for follow-up exploration. The project is advancing into its next phase in collaboration with Sreevel Minerals, which will support further exploration activities.

Integrated Desktop Study & Mineral Prospectivity Assessment

The objective of this study was to evaluate the mineral exploration potential of the licence area through an integrated desktop analysis incorporating literature review, geological interpretation, remote sensing analysis, airborne geophysical interpretation, and evaluation of available geochemical data.

TEST DRILLING PROGRAMME

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 license area. These findings justify more advanced drilling to better define the subsurface potential.

MAGNETIC SURVEY PROGRAMME

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.

SOIL SAMPLING SURVEY

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.
