Kinti Mining Limited Announces Chipupushi Exploration Data
Kinti Mining Limited announce positive drilling data on its recently acquired Chipupushi Uranium-Copper Prospect in the Lufwanyama District, of the Copperbelt Province, in Zambia.
The tenement is approximately 500 km2 and is immediately adjacent to the west of Kinti Mining’s Nchinke property (PLLS 368).
A radiometric airborne survey was completed in 1969, following up the results of earlier reconnaissance work and radiometric anomalies were identified in the south of the area. The anomaly is 1,200 meters long with up to 6,000 ppm of copper (Cu).
Two diamond drill holes were completed in early 1970. Hole MP 490 intersected promising copper and uranium values as follows: @0.6m 0.7% Cu and 0.88% U308; @2.4m 1.82% Cu and 0.15% U3O8; @4.9m 0.67% Cu and 0.04% U3O8.
Upon reviewing the geological survey report and drilling results of the 1,200 meter anomaly, Kinti’s consulting geologists believe that the uranium mineralization is probably hosted in the copper sulphide ore body similar to the Lumwana deposit mined by Equinox Minerals.
