Two diamond core drill rigs are anticipated to commence with resource drilling at the Kalayi prospect where high grade tin mineralisation intersected previously will be drill tested down to a vertical depth of 150 metres ("m") from surface and will cover 600m of the contiguous tin in soil anomaly which has been previously defined over 2,000m lateral extent. The third diamond core drill rig will cover 700m of the high-grade polymetallic tin, copper, zinc, lead and silver soil anomaly above the Mont Agoma prospect. The drill programme will test the anticipated tin mineralisation beneath the previously drilled polymetallic zone. The geological model, described in the Competent Persons Report outlined in the Admission Document published on 8 July 2024, is based on similarities to the world class San Rafael tin mine and predicts tin becoming the main mineralisation phase below the polymetallic mineralisation. The drilling programme is anticipated to continue through to the early part of the fourth quarter of 2024 with a proposed total drilled length of 2,700m. Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources Plc, commented: "We are hugely pleased to be mobilising drilling units to site to commence the Company's 2024 drill programme immediately following our successful fundraise and admission to AIM last week. We are looking forward to regularly updating the market over the coming weeks and months as the drill programme progresses."
