Ann: 6km Copper Strike at Luanshya Project in Zambia, page-7

This from the release of 10/8/21:

"All key logistics have been finalised"

"all logistics are now in place"

"CCZ's logistics service providers have verified that they are on track for drilling to commence"


Three weeks later:

"all key service providers are on track to commence mobilisation at the Arya Prospect during September 2021"

It is all happening, isn't it! Maybe the last statement means the rig and support vehicles have packed up and are on the track to Arya, just waiting for someone to say go.

Some time ago there was to be a Big One resource estimate. Now, before all assays are returned and geologised, CCZ are saying there will be another round of drilling at Big One. I'm waiting for the explanation of the geological stuff ups in the release of 26 July. With a great deal of incremental holism, more than a smattering of holistic incrementalism along with a few creative anachronisms (anyone remember the game Twister?) and a soupcon of legless herpetology, the explanation may be satisfactory.


Who knows about Luanshya? There's a bit of Lower Roan (where the copper is) floating around near the soil anomaly but from the geo map below, it is not coincident.

I note that these guys are still claiming that the Luanshya soil anomaly is 'on-trend' of neighbouring copper mines...

"The Luanshya Project is located in Zambia’s traditional copper-belt, a globally known region that houses numerous copper deposits and operating mines. Moreover, the Luanshya Project is located ~6-10km south of China Nonferrous Mining Corp’s (CNMC) three operating mines, with combined JORC (2012) compliant Proven & Probable Reserves of 52.3mt @ 1.26% Cu. Of significance, the Luanshya Project is on the same NW-SE trendline, which is ~5-10km wide, that hosts two of CNMC’s operating copper mines."

The distances quoted are from the nearest edge of the lease, not the anomaly.

Here's the piccie from the release of 150420.

Here's where Porter Geo reckons the copper mines are, http://www.portergeo.com.au/database/mineinfo.asp?mineid=mn351. All of the Porter geo copper mines are located around the easternmost of the mine symbols flagged as "Luanshya China Nonferrous" in Figure 3 above, those being Baluba Central, Baluba East, Muliashi, Muliashi North, Luanshya and Roan Extension.




Now Mindat reckons that the two "copper mines" to the west are emerald mines, collectively Kagem, owned by Gemfields.

And here's googlearth showing where the copper mines lie in relation to the emerald mines.




As for the mine at Sempala in the googlearth image above, Mindat says "Emeralds", https://www.mindat.org/feature-898950.html.
