Rome Resources (AIM:RMR), the DRC-focused explorer, said it will take part in an airborne geophysical survey covering the greater Bisie tin district that includes the entirety of its two licences.

The programme, flown by Geotech, will acquire over 600km of helicopter-borne data at 100m line spacing using a full waveform time‑domain electromagnetic sensor (VTEM Plus) coupled with a caesium magnetometer.

Rome said the Survey is intended to calibrate geophysical anomalies on its acreage with nearby producing mines, identify and prioritise additional tin exploration targets and better define the tin-granite contact to the south of its licences.

"The Survey is expected to provide critical data to guide our plans for the next phase of drilling at both Kalayi and Mont Agoma," Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer, said.

Pre‑Survey flight testing began in the southern area on 11 May and the programme is expected to move onto Rome's licence areas in late May.
