Midnight Sun Mining Corp has concluded its exploration program at the Kazhiba target, part of its Solwezi property in Zambia. The program aimed to assess near-surface oxide copper mineralization, explore potential sulfide targets, and identify additional prospects obscured by regional regolith.
The exploration involved reverse circulation (RC) drilling, an induced polarization (IP) survey, and partial ionic leach soil sampling, the company announced.
“2025 is off to an excellent start, and this recent work showcases the exceptional team we have assembled,” said Al Fabbro, CEO of Midnight Sun Mining. “This milestone, achieved under our Cooperative Exploration Plan with First Quantum, sets the stage for exciting developments ahead.”
The program included 2,005 meters of RC drilling across 54 holes. Although the total drilling was less than initially planned due to unexpectedly shallow bedrock depths, the company highlighted significant progress in its statement.
A wide-spaced IP survey was conducted to detect stratigraphic conductors as potential sources of sulfide mineralization beneath the oxide layer at Kazhiba. The survey also revealed standalone targets within the licensed area for future exploration.
In addition, a geochemical survey using ALS Chemex’s partial ionic leach technique was completed across the Kazhiba license area. This method, known for its high sensitivity, is designed to detect base metal anomalies in areas with covered mineralization. The data gathered will guide the identification of new exploration targets.
Midnight Sun’s activities at Kazhiba are part of its broader mission to uncover copper resources in Zambia, a region celebrated for its abundant mineral wealth. The company anticipates releasing detailed results from the program soon.
