[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 9428V Arc Minerals Limited 12 April 2019 \n\nArc Minerals Ltd / Epic: ARCM / Market: AIM / Sector: Mining & Exploration\n \n \n12 April 2019\nArc Minerals Ltd \n('Arc' or the 'Company')\n \nZamsort - Exploration & Drilling Update \n \nArc Minerals is pleased to announce the commencement of its exploration programme following the completion of its airborne geophysical programme and follow up analysis at the Zamsort Project (\"Zamsort\") in north western Zambia. \n \nHighlights: \n \n· Infill soil sampling has commenced over the new target areas, 1200 samples already completed \n· Drilling of new targets to commence as soon as weather conditions allow\n· Target discovery areas continue to exceed expectations\n \nThe infill soil geochemical programme over the key target discovery areas will reduce the current spacing of 1km between profile lines to 200m. This further refinement of the soil geochemistry will enable more defined drilling of the targets.\n \nCheyeza West Target \nThe Cheyeza West target is approximately 7km west of Cheyeza East, where historical drilling at Cheyeza East has intersected zones of pervasive copper mineralisation.\n \nThe Cheyeza West target area is characterised by:\n· A historic EM anomaly identified in the east, it is possible that this represents a conductive unit such as sulphide rich sediment\n· Well defined radiometric anomalies, both thorium and potassium, are coincident with the historic EM anomaly\n \nA large 3 x 3km copper in soil anomaly has been identified with at least three identified localised highs with up to 504ppm Cu. The airborne survey highlighted a 4 x 6km area of irregular magnetic response that is interpreted as a potential alteration zone\n \nA recent preliminary field visit to the Cheyeza West target area noted the presence of sulphide pseudomophs within altered calcareous sediments, a similar rock type that hosts other local Cu deposits. In addition, both co-incident historic electromagnetic (\"EM\"), magnetic and radiometric anomalies have been identified over this central 9km2 area. \n \n \n \nLumbeta Target \nThe Lumbeta target area, another one of the new ta...
