Prospect Resources Limited is pleased to provide an update on metallurgical testwork on primary sulphide samples from the Nyungu Central deposit at its Mumbezhi Copper Project (85% Prospect) (Mumbezhi) in north-west Zambia. This testwork work was completed by well-respected independent process consultants, Core Metallurgy Pty Ltd, located in Brisbane, Queensland.

Prospect Managing Director and CEO, Sam Hosack, commented: “Prospect is so highly tuned towards reducing risk and upsizing commercial viability, and the metallurgical testwork is the mainstay of our strengths in developing our project.

“This outstanding metallurgical response to simple, conventional flotation confirms the highly favourable copper mineralogy of the Nyungu Central deposit and is a significant geometallurgical advancement for Mumbezhi. The copper recovery and product quality improvements relative to initial results from Mumbezhi’s previous studies now indicate a coarser grind size, with significant positive implications for lower plant capital and Opex.

“These results follow Prospect’s successful maiden exploration programme at Mumbezhi, which culminated in the declaration of maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in March 2025, together with a hugely expanded resource endowment potential (Exploration Target).

“Following the recent completion of its strategic placement and technical alliance with leading copper miner, First Quantum, Prospect is well funded for its planned 2025 exploration, development and allied technical studies. Phase 2 drilling commenced earlier this month.”
