Patriot Resources公司在赞比亚铜矿带收购了一项矿业许可证的90%权益，支付5万美元[1]。该许可证位于Mkushi北部12公里处，覆盖面积16.15平方公里，地处Lusale盆地矿化走廊的西南延伸区域，距离First Quantum Minerals公司的Fishtie项目17公里[1]。Fishtie项目预期年产铜30,000吨[1]。
这一收购补充了Patriot Resources在该地区的其他勘探活动[1]。公司旗下Tonic铜矿项目近期取得进展，钻探成果显示17米矿段品位达0.41%铜、4.7克/吨银和0.30%锌[1]。Kitumba铜矿距Tonic仅18公里，其冶炼厂计划于今年投产[1]。此外，Patriot Resources还在秘鲁推进Tassa银金项目，该项目资源量为31.4百万盎司银当量（品位52.68克/吨银当量），概念性勘探目标达5.59至7.74亿盎司银当量[1]。
Patriot Resources has expanded its presence in Zambia's premier copper region by securing a 90% interest in a mining license for USD 50,000, with USD 20,000 paid upon signing [1]. The license covers 16.15 square kilometers in the Lusale Basin's southwestern mineralization corridor, positioned 12 kilometers north of Mkushi and 17 kilometers from First Quantum Minerals' Fishtie project, which is expected to produce 30,000 tonnes of copper annually [1].
The acquisition complements Patriot's recent exploration progress at its Tonic copper prospect, where drilling has identified a 17-meter mineralized interval grading 0.41% copper, 4.7 grams per tonne silver, and 0.30% zinc [1]. The company is also developing the Tassa silver-gold project in Peru, which hosts a mineral resource of 31.4 million ounces of silver equivalent at an average grade of 52.68 grams per tonne silver equivalent, along with conceptual exploration targets ranging from 559 to 774 million ounces of silver equivalent [1]. The nearby Kitumba copper mine, located 18 kilometers from Tonic, is expected to commence smelter operations this year, positioning Patriot's Zambian assets in an increasingly active mining district [1].
