Posted on behalf of Midnight Sun Mining - Most programs chase the high-grade centre. At Dumbwa, MMA.v,
$MDNGF is drilling to the edges on purpose.
📐 Why: Holes sit 50-100m apart per line, 100-200m between lines. Only 2-3 per line land in the high-grade corridor, the rest test the shells. Proving full width and continuity means drilling to the margins, not just the core.
⛏️ The setup: High-grade corridor runs 100-600m wide inside a shell that can top 1,000m. Recent hits: 21.64m at 0.42% Cu near surface (DBW-26-200), 13.67m at 0.51% (DBW-26-165), 25m at 0.38% (DBW-26-150). Bulk-tonnage grades, like nearby Lumwana (Barrick).
📊 Where it stands: 6.7 km continuous near-surface strike (up from 5.3), 260+ holes, 56,855 m, five rigs. ~12,500 m of Phase One remain, wrapping Q3 2026. All building toward a maiden resource.
