Soludo Lambert recently awarded a contract with drilling contractor Solutions for Africa for the auger drilling of the Kipushi TSF, with drilling now underway. The programme plans for approximately 166 holes, although some holes may not be accessible to the drill rig and so where possible sampling will be undertaken by other means. The drill programme is expected to be completed mid-October 2018 and once assay results are back, Soludo Lambert will commission a consultant to complete a Mineral Resource estimate for the Kipushi TSF.
The Kitwe Project is held by Zambian entity Australian Mining Company Zambia Limited ( AMZCL ), which upon satisfaction of several conditions Cape lambert will achieve a 60% interest. The Kitwe Tailings Storage Facility ( Kitwe Tailings ) is located approximately 3km from the outskirts of Kitwe, in the Copperbelt region of Zambia, refer Figure 1.
AMZCL recently awarded a contract with drilling contractor Wallis Drilling Pty Ltd for the air core drilling of the Kitwe TSF, with drilling now underway.

Upon receipt of assay results AMZCL will commission a consultant to complete a Mineral Resource estimate for the Kitwe TSF.
