Patriot Resources' Maiden RC Drilling Delivers a New Polymetallic Discovery in Zambia

Greenfield exploration is all about testing geological ideas in the field—and sometimes the very first drill programme delivers a significant breakthrough.
Patriot Resources has announced that its maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Tonic Prospect, Zambia, has confirmed a new polymetallic mineralisation comprising copper, silver, zinc and cobalt.
Discovery Hole TBRC03 returned:
17 m @ 0.41% Cu
4.7 g/t Ag
0.30% Zn
From 29 metres
The results validate the company's exploration model and indicate that the mineralisation remains open at depth, along strike and laterally, providing a strong foundation for future exploration.
Why this discovery matters?
Maiden RC drilling successfully confirmed the exploration model.
Broad polymetallic mineralisation, including copper, silver, zinc and cobalt, was intersected.
The results demonstrate the value of systematic exploration and disciplined geological interpretation.
Follow-up drilling will help define the scale and continuity of the mineralised system.
Every significant mineral discovery starts with careful planning, quality fieldwork and reliable geological data. It will be exciting to follow the next phase of exploration at the Tonic Prospect.
