The first hole at Cheyeza East intersected massive and disseminated copper sulphide mineralisation and represents the most significant copper sulphide discovery since the Company's drilling campaign started. \n \n \n \n \n \n Highlights\n \n \n · \n \n Sulphide copper mineralisation encountered throughout the entire 4.3m sample assayed, including two intervals that returned assays of over 1% Cu\n \n \n \n · \n \n Confirmation of sulphide mineralised system: this combined with airborne geophysical survey data to provide enhanced targeting for drilling \n \n \n \n · \n \n Second hole drilled intersects further Copper sulphide mineralisation \n \n \n \n · \n \n Testing of 4km long anomaly generated from multielement geochemical characterisation proves successful in locating sulphide copper mineralisation\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Based on both visual inspection of the core drilled and X-Ray Flourescence ('XRF') analyses, selected intervals were sent to SGS Inspection Services, Kalalushi Laboratory in Zambia for assay. This batch of assays confirms mineralisation throughout the entire 4.3m sample assayed including up to 4.3m @ 0.6% Cu (including 1.8m @ 0.8% Cu or 3.3m @ 0.7%) and two intervals of over 1% Cu.\n \n \n \n \n \n Nick von Schirnding, Executive Chairman of Arc Minerals, commented:\n \n \n \n \n \n \"This is the first result from what will be an extensive drilling programme going forward to determine the scale of massive sulphide mineralisation at Cheyeza East and provides support for a large mineralised system at play. \n \n \n \n \n \n This is the first time that the Arc team has targeted the anomalies generated by multielement geochemical characterisation study carried out last year, targeting Muswema and Cheyeza East as the first and second priorities respectively with Muswema still to be drilled.
