The DRC-focused explorer's updated resource estimate shows both tonnage and grade rising simultaneously at its Kalayi tin deposit, with a new target area that could double the deposit again.
Rome Resources' New Brunswick outcrop sampling has returned tin, tungsten and bismuth grades, with trenching set to start in September ahead of a possible 2027 drill campaign.
Independent modelling has identified two new mineralised zones and a significant undrilled extension at the DRC-focused explorer's Kalayi tin deposit.
The DRC tin and copper explorer delivered its first resource estimate for Bisie North in 2025 but ended the year with cash down sharply at £1.42 million.
Rome Resources has begun a near-surface tin mining programme at its Kalayi project to support conversion of PEPM 13274 into a full mining licence and to help facilitate a proposed ownership increase to about 79%.
It will carry out surface and trench sampling across three New Brunswick target areas, budgeting up to CA$150,000 and planning over 500 samples under an option covering 109 km2 near the Mount Pleasant deposit.
The explorer will participate in a helicopter-borne geophysical survey covering its two Bisie licences to calibrate anomalies and prioritise new tin targets.
Rome Resources has secured a conditional £1.2m direct subscription of 400m shares at 0.30p, plus 24m broker warrants and a proposed conditional management bonus tied to a strategic partnership.
