Midnight Sun Mining Confirms 12km of Copper Strike with New 2.4km Wide Blowout Zone Discovery

Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O’Brien discusses a major milestone for the company’s Dumbwa copper project in Zambia’s Domes Region — 12 kilometers of confirmed strike length and a Northern Block that has expanded to over 2.4 kilometers wide east-to-west.

Adrian explains the Phase One program: nearly 100,000 meters drilled in 12 months, one of the most aggressive junior exploration programs in recent memory. He addresses the painful lab delay issue candidly — 5,000 samples in backlog, Intertek’s equipment and power failures in Zambia, samples rerouted internationally — and makes the case that the logjam is finally breaking.

He distinguishes what Phase Two looks like: targeted rather than broad-brush, surgical infilling, deeper step-out drilling to 600–700 meters, and an extension drive into the newly acquired Mulundu License to the north.

Key points covered: current treasury of $6–8M plus expected warrant exercises; drilling cost of just US$165/meter all-in (vs. US$500–1,000/meter in Nevada); the Kazhiba oxide asset monetization process still underway; and why the geological fundamentals — Lumwana analogue, near-surface mineralization, world-class address flanked by Kansanshi and Lumwana — remain intact despite share price pressure.
